How can I honor my mother when she wrongs me, beats me, and seeks to sabotage my engagement, given that I feel hatred towards her and do not feel that I am undutiful?

There are mutual rights between parents and children. Children must treat their parents kindly, obey them, and show them dutifulness, even if the parents fall short in fulfilling their children's rights or make mistakes. The disbelief of parents does not nullify their right to dutifulness and kind treatment. Therefore, the questioner sister should deal with the situation calmly, strive to obey her mother and earn her pleasure, and not allow Satan to magnify trivial matters to create hatred, remembering that "Paradise lies beneath the feet of mothers."
