Question: What is the reality of heaven being under a mother’s feet?
Shaykh AI:
B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the saying ‘Heaven lies under the feet of mothers’ holds profound spiritual significance in Sufi teachings. This statement reflects the exalted status and honor given to mothers in Islam and Sufism.
In Sufi teachings, the mother is revered as a source of immense blessings and spiritual elevation. The saying signifies that by honoring and respecting one’s mother, a person can attain spiritual rewards and blessings equivalent to the magnitude of paradise.
The mother’s role in nurturing, caring, and sacrificing for her children is unparalleled. She embodies mercy, compassion, and selflessness, reflecting the Divine attributes of love and care. By acknowledging and respecting the mother’s elevated status, one is aligning themselves with the Divine attributes and seeking proximity to the Divine presence.
Furthermore, the saying emphasizes the importance of upholding good character and fulfilling the rights of parents, especially mothers. It serves as a reminder to honor, respect, and care for one’s mother, recognizing her pivotal role in shaping one’s life and nurturing their well-being.
From a spiritual perspective, honoring and respecting one’s mother is a means of seeking the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. It is a reflection of the Divine command to uphold the rights of parents and treat them with kindness and compassion. By doing so, one can attain spiritual elevation and draw closer to the Divine presence.
In conclusion, the saying ‘Heaven lies under the feet of mothers’ in Sufi teachings signifies the spiritual rewards and blessings that come from honoring and respecting one’s mother. It reflects the exalted status of mothers and the spiritual significance of fulfilling their rights. May we all strive to embody this noble trait and seek the Divine pleasure through our actions.
May Allah ﷻ grant us the ability to honor and respect our mothers, and may He elevate our spiritual stations through this noble practice. Ameen. Remember to uphold good character, seek the love of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and be of service to the Tariqa and others.
