Recently we celebrated mother's day. This is a fairly new and informal celebratory day, mostly good for businesses (restaurant, flowers, shopping, cards and other gifts, etc) and your ego but perhaps not very good for your purse/wallet.
On facebook, everyone had pictures of their mothers or some nice sweet messages. Some Muslim were heavily promoting and forwarding the slogan: “In Islam, everyday is mother's day” and some positive messages about women and Islam. It's all about trying to fit in with the modern life and sell your religion.
Realistic, in Islam, there's no mother's day. This is not really something you can find or trace anywhere in its teaching. Since I'm not a purist, I don't see any harm in celebrating mother's day but for consistency sake we also need to say that “In Islam, everyday could easily be Valentine day” since Islam is also not oppose to lovers.
