A companion رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ said to the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم :

The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, “Perhaps it has sufficed for a single moment of pain your mother felt when she gave birth to you.”[1]

The prayers of a mother can take her children to Paradise. The prayers of a mother can make her children pious and practicing Muslims. The prayers of a mother can protect her children from evil.
Her prayers can take her children to the rank of sainthood. Her prayers can bring good fortune to her children. Her prayers in favour of her children are accepted. The prayers of a mother lead to endless success. Her prayers are a means of attaining the mercy of Allah Almighty. Her prayers are a means of forgiveness. The prayers of a mother are a means
