Overcoming Disrespectful Thoughts Towards My Mother: A Journey to Change.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I always have behaved badly with my mother. It is from my childhood. Now I know it is a grave sin but after doing tawba so many times I cannot change myself. I always have negative thoughts about her instead of her favours to me. I always think about the bad side about her and disrespect comes in my mind for her. I have tried but cannot get rid of it. I know she has many faults in her for which I disrespect her in my mind but this is a grave sin. How do I get rid of these thoughts and treat her with utmost respect?

Bismillaah

A: Don’t pay attention to these thoughts. Go on being good to her in whichever way you can.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
