In the Holy Quran and authentic hadiths from the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) and the infallible Imams (PBUH), respect for parents has always been emphasized, and among these, the position of the mother is indescribable.

In a hadith from the Prophet of Islam (PBUH), he is quoted as saying:

"Whoever kisses his mother's feet, it is as if he has kissed the threshold of the Kaaba." (Ganjinah Jawaher)

He also said: "Whoever kisses his mother's forehead will be protected from the fire of Hell." (Nahj al-Fasaha)
