Request:
Assalamu’laikum, Dear Moulana Shaykh Hisham, and fellow e shaykh staff.
I humbly request that you pray for my brothers to rectify their conduct and be more responsible to my mother in her old age. All her life, my father (passed away) and now, my mother has been acting like a martyr for her children, but the conduct of my brothers has so far not been very good. Please pray that they are more responsible to my mother, and my mother no longer leads her life in the manner she has been. It pains me to see her in ‘wretchedness’.
Please also pray that all her wants and needs are fulfilled in the dunya, as well as the akhirah,
Jazakallahu, Khair

We ask for Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani to pray for your situation and for goodness to all mothers.
Narrated Al-Mughira that the Prophet (s) said, “Allah has forbidden you ( 1 ) to be undutiful to your mothers (2) to withhold (what you should give) or (3) demand (what you do not deserve), and (4) to bury your daughters alive. And Allah has disliked that you talk too much about others, ask too many questions (in religion), or waste your property.” (Sahih Bukhari in Adab)
