Mothers: Producers of great scholars and heroes

Imam Malik (may Allah SWT have mercy on him and his mother) said:

كانت أمي تعممني وتقول لي اذهب إلى ربيعة فتعلم من أدبه قبل علمه

“My mother would dress me up and say to me: Go to Sheikh Rabi’ah and learn from his manners before his knowledge.”

Sheykh Abdullah Azzam (may Allah SWT accept him) said,

“Mothers play a great role in building a generation. The better a mother is at raising her children, the more successfully the Ummah is built and the more successful it is at producing heroes. You hardly ever see a great man except that a great woman is behind him who left some of her traits in his personality by way of the milk from which he was fed and the warm embrace in which he sought refuge.”
