B1 Proverb 正式

بهشت زیر پای مادران است.

Behesht zir-e paye madaran ast.

Heaven is under the feet of mothers.

意思

Emphasizes the high status and importance of mothers in Persian culture.

🌍

文化背景

In Iran, the concept of 'Haq-e Madar' (the mother's right) is so strong that people believe a mother's 'Agh' (curse/displeasure) can ruin a person's life. This proverb is the positive counterpart to that fear. In Afghanistan, this proverb is often recited in Dari during 'Nikah' (wedding) ceremonies to remind the groom to never let his new marriage come before his respect for his mother. Tajik literature is filled with references to this proverb, often using it to contrast the harshness of life with the sanctuary of a mother's love. The proverb is a cornerstone of Islamic ethics across the Middle East, serving as a primary text for teaching children about social hierarchy and kindness.

💬

Use for Ta'arof

If someone praises your success, you can humbly say it's because of your mother's prayers, mentioning this proverb.

⚠️

Don't shorten it

Shortening it to just 'Behesht-e Madaran' loses the powerful imagery of the feet.
