You didn't but I did to make a point. A mother can be pure EVIL just like anyone else can be pure EVIL.
A flawed understanding of Shariah is causing major problems within the Muslim community e.g. people are petrified of making their mothers upset when what is being demanded is unreasonable and contrary to Islamic Shariah. Islam overrides every other consideration or “should” in our lives. If a (Muslim) mother behaves according to Shariah then she is worthy of such a rank but if she behaves contrary to Shariah then she should be respected and honoured (as she is a mother) but a child shouldn’t be petrified. If a mother tells her daughter not to wear Niqab or tells her son to shave the Beard off or goes beyond that becomes pure vindictive evil, poison filled snake then she isn’t deserving of such a lofty rank in Shariah (at all).
The problem with this thread is that it assumes every mother is heavenly Sunnah, compliant and lovely when as you say reality is pretty different.
I gave pointed examples of these occurrences but the Moderators have waved their magic wand and chosen to censor my words because it involved Tassawuff or whatever...
My father’s first wife died during labour so he married my mother. All her life my mother has looked after us (her children) and someone else’s children like her own until we don’t even distinguish between each other. Everyone knows and realises that but people like my mother are rare commodity in this world,
My father passed away of cancer making dua for my mother and in absolute gratitude to her but there are plenty of pure EVIL mothers I know.
most of the time in scenarios like ours stories are different.
