What is your advice on how to deal with a mother who abuses her daughter and screams at her for no reason, and wants her to build a villa and provide a driver despite sending her a monthly sum, and tries to sow discord between her daughter and her husband, and does not pray, and complains of not being appreciated despite the daughter’s and her husband’s attempts to please her?

The questioner is advised to strive diligently in honoring her mother and being kind to her. Among the greatest forms of honoring her is enjoining upon her what is good and forbidding what is evil, with gentleness and good manners, especially concerning prayer. She must also be patient with her mother's harms and overlook her offenses, seeking reward from Allah. Honoring one's mother is among the best deeds, and patience with her is among the greatest causes for Allah's pleasure.
