Paradise is at the feet of mothers

Mothers are provided a very high status in Islam. It is common to hear Muslims quoting Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said, “Paradise is at the feet of mothers.” Once a man approached Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and asked, “O, Messenger, who among mankind is worthy of my kindness and love?” The Prophet answered, “Your mother.” Then the man asked, “Who next?” And again the Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked once more “Who next?” And the Prophet replied “your mother.” Only after the third time, Prophet Muhammad said, “your father.”
Mothers are automatically entitled to child support according to Islamic law if they are to divorce their husband.
