On May 14, the world celebrates Mothers' Day. To us Muslims, every day is our mother's day. Every day is our father's day. So we do not need a special day to celebrate it.
Mu'awiya bin Jahima said that his father approached Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) and said, "I intend going on Jihad. I seek your advice."
The Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) inquired, "Is your mother alive?"
He answered, "Yes".
The Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) said, "Go and serve her for Paradise lies beneath the feet of mothers." (Narrated by Ahmad, an-Nasai, Bayhaqi)
Abu Huraira relates that a man came to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) and asked: "O Messenger of Allah, which person of all the people is best entitled to kind treatment and good companionship from me?"
He answered, "Your mother".
The man asked: "And then?" He said, "Your mother".
"And after her?" He said: "Your mother".
"And after her?"
The Holy Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) said: "Your father". (narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
