How to Serve a Mother Who Has Passed Away
Even though the mother or parents have passed away, a child must still serve his parents. Even though they cannot be filial directly, there are several ways a child can do filial piety to his mother or both parents who have died.
Dutiful to both parents, does not require a reason to do so. Because, devoted to the mother is an obligation. Even though my mother had passed away. Here are some ways to pay tribute to a mother who has passed away.
1. Pray for parents
The first way a child can be devoted to a mother who has died is to pray. Rasulullah once said, that the prayer of a pious or pious child can be one of the mother’s charities that will never be broken, even though she has passed away.
Therefore, by praying to parents, it becomes a form of a filial child to his mother or parents who have died. Because it provides the practices of jariyah which of course can be useful as provisions in the afterlife.
2. Paying off debts or promises of mothers who have passed away
When a mother or parent dies, then of course the mother can no longer pay off debts or promises to people who are still alive. Therefore, the duty of a filial child is to help pay off debts and promises that the mother had not had time to fulfill before in her life.
Even though, before she died, the mother must have had the intention to pay off debts and promises that had not been kept. However, no one knows when death will come. As a child, Sinaumed’s has an obligation to help pay off debts and unpaid mother’s promises. If you don’t know the remaining debts or promises that haven’t been paid off, then a child can ask close relatives about this.
3. Mutual love for every family member left by the mother
After the death of the mother, of course not only her biological children are grieving. However, the mother’s brothers and other close relatives also grieve. Therefore, as a form of filial piety for a mother who has died, children must maintain ties of friendship with close relatives.
Don’t cut ties with close relatives who used to be close to children only thanks to the mother’s presence. Try to love each other between close relatives left by mother. The trick is to stay in touch, once a month or with the time interval needed so that the bonds of brotherly love do not break.
4. Doing and imitating the good qualities brought by the mother
While the mother is still alive, more or less the mother will be a role model for her children. However, of course, no human being is perfect, including mothers, who certainly never escape blame or accident. During life, mothers certainly have made mistakes, but as a good child, a child needs to emulate and emulate the qualities of a good mother.
Even though the mother has passed away, the good character of the mother can be imitated and imitated so on. That way, a child will help to spread the good values brought by the mother.
5. Charity or charity on behalf of a deceased mother
The next way to serve a deceased mother is to give alms or charity on behalf of a deceased mother. That way, it is hoped that the reward when doing charity or giving charity will reach the mother who has died. Thus, it will add charity provisions that can be brought by the mother in the afterlife.
6. Realizing a mother’s dream that has not yet been implemented
When mother has passed away, maybe there are still some dreams that have not come true. One of the ways to serve a mother who has passed away is to help make a mother’s dream come true that had never been realized before.
It is hoped that by helping to realize the dream of the mother who has passed away, it will become a charity for the mother and an additional provision for the mother’s charity for the afterlife.
7. Maintain the good name of the mother who has passed away
As a form of devotion, of course a child needs to maintain the good name of the mother who has died. The trick is not to reveal the disgrace that was owned by the mother when she was still alive. In addition, as a dutiful child, children can also keep the mother’s secret so that the good name of the mother is maintained even though she has died.
8. Performing Hajj for a deceased mother
If during her lifetime the mother has not had the opportunity to perform the pilgrimage, then a good way to serve is to perform the pilgrimage for the mother who has died. Intend that the pilgrimage is for the mother who has died. This method of filial piety has also been explained by Rasulullah as a form of filial piety to mothers who have passed away.
9. Make a grave pilgrimage to the graves of mothers who have died
A filial child can continue his filial piety to his mother who has passed away by making a grave pilgrimage to the grave of the mother who has died. When on a pilgrimage, a child should pray for a mother who has died and clean the graves of mothers who have died.
10. Continuing the good habits of a deceased mother
The way to remain devoted to your parents is to continue the good habits of your mother who has passed away. Like, if Sinaumed’s’ mother has a habit of giving alms to less fortunate people, then continue this good habit. Or the good habits of the mother that are often carried out in life should be continued by the child.
The Virtue of Devotion to Mothers and Parents who Have Passed Away
Why do you have to remain devoted to parents who have died as a child? Of course in Islam being devoted to parents is an obligation and has virtues.
It is explained in the Al Quran verse Al Isra verse 32, that in fact Allah commands His servants to serve mothers and fathers. The letter reads as follows.
“Your Lord has commanded you not to worship other than Himself and that you should do good to your mother and father. If one of (parents) or both parents until they are old are in your care, then we should never say to both of them the word ‘ah’ and don’t yell at both parents, and say it to your parents, good words” (QS Al-Isra verse 32).
After knowing the ten ways to be filial to parents or mothers who have passed away, then this way of filial piety should be practiced properly. This is because being devoted to your mother or father has the virtues explained in the hadiths and verses of the Koran. Here’s an explanation.
1. As the main charity
Like the hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim. In this hadith, the Prophet said that, “I asked the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam about the charity that is most loved by Allah, the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam answered, first pray at the right time, second serve both parents, third jihad on the road God”.
In this hadith, it can be seen that serving parents, including mothers who have died, is the most important charity that is loved by Allah.
2. Devoted to parents to get His blessing, because Allah’s blessing depends on the blessing of parents
The blessing of Allah depends on the blessing of parents, therefore a child must serve his parents. So, what is done becomes a blessing. This second priority is explained in the hadith narrated by Bukhari and Tirmidhi which reads, “God’s pleasure depends on the parents’ pleasure, and Allah’s anger depends on the parents’ anger as well.” Therefore, to get the blessing of Allah, you must first win the blessing of your parents.
3. Devoted to parents even though they have died, able to eliminate life’s difficulties
The third virtue of being filial to parents who are living or dead is that it eliminates life’s difficulties. The virtue of filial piety to parents is also explained in a hadith narrated by Muslim and Bukhari.
The hadith reads, “The Messenger of Allah said, ‘One day there were three people who were walking and then got caught in the rain. They then took shelter in a cave at the foot of the mountain. While in the cave, suddenly a large rock collapsed and covered the door of the cave. Some of them said to the others, ‘Remember the best deed you have ever done.’
Then they ask Allah for help and pray through these deeds. With the hope that Allah will remove these difficulties. One of the three men then said, ‘O Allah, actually I have two elderly parents, while I have a wife and a small child.
I herd the goats and when I come home I always milk the milk and give it to my parents before anyone else. One day, I had to walk far away to look for firewood and make a living, until I came home at night and saw my parents were asleep, but I still milked and went to my parents, my child was whining for milk, I still wouldn’t give it. Because I gave the milk to my parents first. Then I wait until my parents wake up and I give it to him. After my parents, then I gave the milk to my son.
So, the stone of the cave shifted.
That is an explanation of the five prayers for mothers who have died, how to be devoted to parents who have died to the virtue of being devoted to mothers and parents who have died.
