And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness<\/strong>, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination (31:14).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n From this verse, Allah recognizes that pregnancy and childbirth are difficult acts of women but Allah (SWT) also brings attention to the virtues of pregnancy in Islam. In the above verse Allah (SWT) commands the believers to care and be grateful to their parents. And by bringing attention to the acts of the mother in bringing the child to life, Allah (SWT) is emphasizing her value and importance, demonstrating that through these actions the mother has the greater right to be cared for and to be shown gratitude. The same is shown in the verse of Surah Al-Ahqaf:<\/p>\n And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months. [He grows] until, when he reaches maturity and reaches [the age of] forty years, he says, “My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims” (46:15).<\/p>\n
