Islam and Mother part 2

This is the part 2 of  our previous blog names islam and mother.now we continue our blog.

2. Caring for uncles and aunts, both of the father and the mother

Some religious laws before Islam neglected the mother's relationships, making them insignificant. With the advent of Islam, he sympathized with the importance of caring for uncles and aunts, both on the father's side and on the mother's side. A man approached the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, and said: "I committed an offense, could I atone for it?"
He asked: "Do you have a mother?"
The man said: "No."
He asked: "Do you have a maternal aunt?"
The man said: "Yes."
The Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, said:
"Be good to her."
(Transmitted by Termithy in "Righteousness and Relations" (1905); Ibn Hibban Charity (EI-Ehsan) (435); and Al-Hakim who amended it on the terms of the two Sheikhs, agreed upon by Al-Dhahaby, 4/155, all on the authority of Umar.)


3. The right of custody over their children.


An indication that Islam admits the importance of motherhood and caring for the rights of mothers and their feelings is that a divorced mother has greater rights and is more worthy to take care of her children than the father.
'Abdullah ibn' Amr ibn Al-as conveyed that a woman asked: "O Messenger of Allah, this son of mine had my belly as a vessel, my breasts to drink, my lap to contain it, his father has taken it from me." Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, said: "You have more right if you do not marry."
(Transmitted by Ahmad in Al Musnad (6707) Sheikh Shaker said that his authenticity is correct, also transmitted by Abu Dawud)


Imam Al-Khataby said in Monuments of Traditions (Maalem As-Sunna): "Container" is the name of the place that contains a thing. This means that the mother is more dignified, since she and the father shared the principle of breeding, then highlighted by things such as nursing in which the father did not participate. Therefore, it deserves to be the first when it comes to disputes. about the child
In Islam, if the mother (who is the first option for the custody of the minor children) remarries, her custody right is subsequently transferred to her mother, the maternal grandmother of her children, then to her mother-in-law and then to the husband.


4. Paying parents debts


Islam encourages children to pay their parents' debts if these debts were with Allah or with people. For example, when a woman asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, if she could fast instead of her mother who died and had a whole month to fast. The Prophet, the rhythm and blessings be upon him, asked him if his mother had to pay a certain debt if he had paid for it. The woman said, "yes," then the prophet told her that Allah's debt is more worthy of paying. Also the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, encouraged a woman to make the pilgrimage instead of her dead mother. 


5. Inheriting your children.


The mother has the right to inherit her children according to the rules of inheritance in Islam


6. breastfeeding


The right of the child to be breastfed is affirmed by the cuaran, the source of Islamic law and morality. The Koranic verse



“Mothers shall suckle their children for two whole years; (that is) for those who wish to complete the suckling. The duty of feeding and clothing nursing mothers in a seemly manner is upon the father of the child. No-one should be charged beyond his capacity. A mother should not be made to suffer because of her child, nor should he to whom the child is born (be made to suffer) because of his child. And on the (father's) heir is incumbent the like of that (which was incumbent on the father). If they desire to wean the child by mutual consent and (after) consultation, it is no sin for them; and if ye wish to give your children out to nurse, it is no sin for you, provided that ye pay what is due from you in kindness. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is Seer of what ye do.” (Surah: 2:233)


A period of 2 years of lactation is defined. According to Islam, if the mother is not divorced, she should breastfeed her child as a religious obligation and not because she is the natural mother. If she is divorced, nursing is treated as nafaqah (financial aid). This is established within the Shari'ah. The nafaqah of the child is the responsibility of the father. The father has to give the mother compensation for breastfeeding. If she refuses to breastfeed, then it is up to the father to find and hire a wet nurse for the child.

Tips For Memorization

Quran Memorization " Hifz " or simply memorizing the Koran is a dream for all Muslims. However, most of the brothers and sisters complain that due to their hectic daily schedules, they do not have time to dedicate themselves to memorizing the Koran. We spoke with several Islamic scholars, many of whom had memorized the Qur'an and asked them for effective advice on how to master the memorization of the Koran despite being busy both at work and at home. The advice they gave (specifically aimed at busy people) includes the following: 1- Get up early in the morning   Be the first to wake up and, if possible, first offer the prayers of Fajr in the mosque. When you have finished with the morning prayers, instead of spending your time in frivolous activities such as watching television or surfing the Internet, take a few minutes to memorize the Qur'an. 2- Set realistic goals and memorize less than you think you can You may be tempted to memorize one or two pages ...

Important Tips For Quran Memorization or Hifz

Hifz Quran     1. Sincerity  The first issue you should pay attention to is your intention (if you have good intentions, you will be fine). Make sure that the intention you are doing is only for Allah, seek His Pleasure so that inshAllah, with His Mercy, be rewarded in the Aakhirah. It is not to be shown in front of others that you have memorized a lot. Sincerity is not a one-time factor but it is a continuous battle that you always have to renew. 2. Consistency  The more frequently you memorize, the easier it becomes. It is very essential to be consistent and not skip a day. There is no weekend in worship. The minimum that one must memorize is at least 3 lines, 5 is more ideal. If you are consistent, inshAllah, you can be huffadh in 5 to 6 years. 3. Time  The first thing you should do on the day is to memorize, even do it before breakfast, because this is your spiritual breakfast. The best time to memorize is right after Fajr. . (Sh Yasir used...
