If we dig out the history of the Mother's Day we found its origin in the ancient Greece when people enjoy spring celebrations for Rhea, a goddess mother of the Gods. But the day for human beings was first celebrated in England during 1600's as "Mothering Sunday". A special cake named "Mothering Cake" was used to celebrate the event. In America the 28th President Woodrow Wilson announced the 2nd Sunday of May every year a national holiday for honoring mothers.

Mothers are the most beautiful and precious gift of the Creature to His creation. You know when a baby born Allah frees his/her mother for a period from any kind of worship of Allah as "Namaz", fast and other prayers for her child. Many people think that she is not able to offer prayers due to physical condition but here a point to note that if Allah wanted him to pray even in that time, He would make him able for that. But Allah wanted mother to keep close to her child in that days. In that period mother lives with her child and knows all the needs of her child.

According to Islamic teaching we have to respect our mothers as well as fathers, but there is force on the respect of mothers. As mentioned in the Hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: 'O Messenger of Allaah, who among the people is most deserving of my good company?' He said, 'Your mother.' He asked, 'Then who?' He said, 'Your mother.' He asked, 'Then who?' He said, 'Your mother.' He asked, 'Then who?' He said, 'then your father." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5626; Muslim, 2548) Al- Haafiz ibn Hajar said: "Ibn Battaal said: what this means is that the mother should be honored three times more than the father. He said, that is because of the difficulties of pregnancy, then giving birth, then breastfeeding.

In the Holy Quran Allah said "And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honor" [al-Isra' 17:23]
