After Mother's Death
In late teen or early adulthood, it’s normal part of growth and development and normal part of separation from your parents to begin to think about their mortaility as well as your own. At this period of life, we start having families, we are working away from home, we are in collages and universities; and we begin to think about our childhood and not being at home. What’s behind is missing that parental connection as well as realizing that death is inevitable.There is no way getting away from it. From Allah (swt) we came, and to Him (swt) we return.
In this realization, oftentimes, the fear of losing our parents can become a mental health issue, an anxiety that we think about on a daily basis. It is usually normal and taken in a context. Sometimes, it is an opportunity to increase our imaan (faith), to draw closer to Allah (swt), to learn more about Islam and Allah’s (swt) plans for us, in sha’ Allah.
A mother's death is an irreparable loss, but the order of Creations according to the wisdom of Allah SWT, demands that every living creature should one day leave this world.
One should remain contented and submit to the will of Allah and his own destiny. But there are certain duties that children must perform after their mother's death if they desire their own happiness.
In other words, the right of parents does not cease with their death, and this right must be observed by their children after the death of their parents.
The Fifth Imam says: "An offspring may be benevolent to his parents during their life time, but he may not repay his debt to them after they die, nor pray for their salvation, and forget them altogether. In such a case, this offspring will be included by God in the category of those who misbehave towards their parents"
What can be concluded from these and other Islamic narrations is that if a father or a mother has incurred a debt, their offspring should make an effort to repay this debt and pray for their salvation.
He should offer alms in their name, feed a needy person to gladden their soul, take care of and caress an orphan, and perform similar charitable acts. The reward of such deeds will be given to the parents as well as their children and God will bless and favour them for such benevolent and charitable deeds.
