Bedeutung
Expressing deep compassion and forgiveness.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Egypt, the phrase is often linked to the song 'Sitt al-Habayeb', which is played constantly every March. It's almost a national anthem for maternal love. Mothers are often called 'Al-Sitt' (The Lady) as a sign of respect, and their 'heart' is seen as the ultimate judge in family disputes. The concept of 'Bar al-Walidayn' (Righteousness to parents) is very strong. 'Qalb al-Umm' is used to remind children of the debt of love they owe. The word 'L'mima' (dear mother) is often used alongside the concept of her heart being a source of 'Baraka' (blessing).
