Filial piety and kindness towards parents, especially the mother, are among the greatest duties and acts of devotion. Allah Almighty has linked the command to worship Him alone and to be grateful to Him with kindness towards parents. Serving and caring for one's mother, especially in cases of memory loss, brings immense reward. One must be patient and endure, avoiding any word or deed that contradicts filial piety, as disobedience to parents is a major sin. It is important to remember the mother's hardships in raising her children when they were young.
