What prevents us (me) from honoring our mothers?
Many hadith speak of the importance of mothers and the respect that is due them from their children. In one hadith the Prophet was asked three times who is deserving of our respect and he repeated the answer your mother. The fourth time he said your father. This implies that the mother is three times more deserving of your respect then fathers. Yet, how often we ignore this simple equation of charter development. May Allah forgive me for my own ignorance. What prevents us (me) from keeping this injunction?

a simple thing to remember
keep this hadith in mind for the next 10 days -whenever you interact with your mom and dad and inshallah you'll find yourself giving them the respect they deserve habitually...
(in my own words) once a man came to the Prophet (SAW) and told him that he had taken his mom for umra and helped her perform it by carrying her on his back. had he fulfilled his duties to her?
the Prophet's (SAW) response was No--- how could he repay her when she had carried him around for 9 months?
if we remember all the sacrifices our mothers made for us when we were young-- and try to repay even a fraction of them.. we'll realize that we are forever indebted.
or we can wait till we are parents ourselves and our children mistreat us coz we mistreated our parents. the punishment for this sin is given in this world too remember- never mind the hereafter!
