What does islam say about mothers day?

[Caano Geel]

why not put it another way and ask what would you on a mothers day that would be anti islamic?

[umu zakaria]

Yes i feel it is not an islamic practice but not sure whether it is anti islamic.

 

i hoped u would shed more light try,

[Caano Geel]

sorry i meant non-islamic. I can't imagine what hadith people will dig up for a mothers day - but common sense says celebrating someone you love is a good thing.

[rudy-Diiriye]

oh yeah! hall-mark, the creator of this holiday is also laughing all the way to the bank...!

 

korma halka la gaarey!! mothers day kullaha. U need a day to remember you mom!! woow. they eat burger and then they lose it all the way. :mad:

[Caano Geel]

Dude, call it right on hallmark, but we did mothers day when i was a child in somalia .. anyhow if your idea of appreciation is a hallmark card and good'ol fashion blow you wage to kingdom come then .. that aint it ..

[umu zakaria]

Ofcourse we dont need a day to celbrate mothers lov it is daily but the awareness and devotion of that to mothers all over world is kind of nice.

Ruling concerning celebrating mother's day

 

Question: Every year we have a holiday on a particular day and it is called Mother's Day. It occurs on March 21. All the people gather and celebrate that day. Is this permissible or forbidden?

 

 

Response: Every holiday or celebration that differs from the Sharee'ah celebrations is a newly-invented innovation that was not known during the time of the Pious Predecessors. Furthermore, it may have begun as an imitation of the non-Muslims. Therefore, in addition to it being an innovation, it may also be an act of resembling the enemies of Allaah. The Sharee'ah holidays are well-known among the Muslims. These are the `Eed al-Fitr, `Eed al-Adhha and the weekly `Eed [Fridays]. There is no holiday or festival in Islaam other than those three. Every holiday that is invented besides them is to be rejected as an innovation and falsehood in the Sharee'ah. This is because the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:

 

((Every deed introduced into our affair that does not belong to it is rejected)).

That is, it is rejected from that person and it will not be accepted by Allaah. Another wording of the hadeeth states:

 

((Whoever does a deed that is not what our affair is upon, will have it rejected)).

 

Since that is clear, the holiday that is mentioned by the questioner, known as Mother's Day, is not allowed. It is not allowed to have during such a day any kind of public display and celebration, happiness, giving of presents and so forth. It is obligatory upon a Muslim to have pride and honor in his religion. He should also limit himself to what Allaah and His Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) have restricted this upright religion to. This is the religion that Allaah is pleased to have His servants follow. There can be no addition or subtraction from this religion.

 

Furthermore, a Muslim should not be a kind of weak person that follows every Tom, Dick and Harry. Instead, his personality should be that defined by the Law of Allaah, such that he is followed and not a follower, such that he becomes an example and not a disciple. This should be the case because the law of Allaah, praise be to Allaah, is complete and perfect in all aspects. Allaah says in the Qur.aan:

 

{This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you and have chosen for you Islaam as your religion}, [soorah al-Maa.idah, Aayah 3].

Furthermore, the mother has much more right than to have just one day in the year as a celebration for her. In fact, the woman has a right upon her children, that they will care for her, look after her, obey her in anything which is not sinful, during all times and at all places.

Islamic opinions dispensed as fatwas (the above being a load of rubbish) cannot be the only language of discourse. Disgusting commercialism aside, celebrating your mother, no matter how it's done cannot be a bad thing. One need not buy a card from Hallmark or a gift; but for many a fool who does not think or remember his/her mother as often as he/she should, a nudge is sometimes needed.

[Caano Geel]

u mean u disagree! i'm sure there is a fatwa about disagreeing with fatwas

[Naden]

^ .

[umu zakaria]

Sis Sulekha jazzakallah, the above fatwa helped.

 

Naden while u can disagree to a sheikhs fatwa but there r limits, i think u,ve gone too far to call it bunch of rubbish.

 

what is going on in ur head? have u even given aminute to chew it, those words r so familiar i keep hearing them whenever something un islamic is discussed.

 

pls i urge u to look for some1 who can clear ur doubts.

 

I hope u will have a different opinion next.

 

MAY ALLAH HELP U UNDERSTAND UR DEEN

[Naden]

My dear umu zakaria, islamicizing everything from products to pop culture to science is a mark of our intellectual bankruptcy. There are many reasons to reject something without gluing it by force to the faith and giving fatwa-authors such deep and pervasive say in everything. This bid'a claim would mean that you must immediately cease and desist with posting on SOL using the internet and a computer.

 

what is going on in ur head?

Lately? The 80s.

 

 

I can't get headbands, Cabbage Patch kids and Boy George's shoulder pads out of my head. Very disturbing!

Ahhhhhhhh ,Naden, the culture club, islamically? , lovely 80s..

Naden sis got a valid point, we are suffering from intellectual bancruptcy, here are some more examples that show this bancruptcy.

 

1. Is dating halaal?

2. Shoud I use the right hand to drink Budweiser?

3. Is Michael Jackson a good role model for kids?

 

 

Intellectual bancruptcy is an advanced stage of an ailment, which happens when slaves (either brought on chains or refugees on planes) try to assimilate in host country seamlessly, feeling to be inferior, quickly adapting to wholesale culure of their host, doing all it takes to fit in, their identity melts away in the process, and their moral compass points wacky south, they look down on their own folk in contempt, using language that reflects their intellectual bancruptcy.

 

This phenomena was predicted by our Prophet SAWS:

 

The Prophet SAWS said:

 

You will imitate and follow the ways of those before you, to the point that if they enter an aligators hole, you would also enter. They said " Christians and Jews?" he said, " then who else.

 

 

Cheer up! Everyday, is mothers day in Islam, The Prophet SAWS was reported saying:

 

A person who prays five times a day, is grateful to Allah.

 

A Person who Prays for her/his parents after every prayer is grateful to her/his parents.

 

Allah said in Quraan: "Be grateful to me, and to your parents".

 

Thus, as Muslims, we celebrate mothers day, five (5) times a day!

 

 

Have you celebrated Mother's Hour, or the Happy Hour at your neighborhood bar today?

 

Have you massaged her feet?

 

Asked about her if she is away?

 

Made duaa for her?

 

 

Check your compass!
