What is the ruling on saying: "O Allah, my mother, for by her I incline and become upright"?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
This statement has a valid interpretation, which is that a mother's satisfaction with her child is among the important matters in their religious and worldly life. With her satisfaction, their affairs become upright, and with her displeasure, they become turbulent. It has been reported in the : "The Lord's satisfaction is in the parent's satisfaction, and the Lord's displeasure is in the parent's displeasure." The term "parent" (al-walid) includes both the father and the mother, and indeed, the mother takes precedence. If the supplicant intends this meaning, there is no issue with it.
