Struggle in Teaching and Guiding Her

Question :

Since my father died, my mother has lived with us. She is illiterate and is incapable of memorizing even short chapters of the Qur'an. Nonetheless, she performs her obligatory and voluntary worship (prayer and fasting) assiduously. What do you advise us to do in order to be dutiful with her so that we may achieve Allâh's pleasure?

Answer:

We beseech you to struggle in teaching and guiding her to what is beneficial for her of the short Suraks of the Qur'an and the different types of statements of remembrance legislated for the end of the prayers. This, as well as other than that which will benefit her in her religious and worldly life.

It is sufficient for her to recite Al-Fatihah, so be diligent in teaching it to her until she memorizes it well. Then when it is easy for her to recite along with it from the short Surahs or other verses in the Fajr prayer, the first two (Rak'ahs) of Zuhr, "Asr, Maghrib and 'Isha', then that will be better. May Allah help you in every good.
