In most muslims families around the globe there seem to be a variation in the way we address our parents,like in most african countries a Dad is mustly address as "Baba" while Mum used to be called "Mama" or some thing like that.
any way!! how do you address yours if there are still alive ?



Ma'assalam
 
Salaam,

I call my mom "madar jaan" in Farsi. The "jaan" or pronouced 'john' is used as a form of respect and kindness after saying a name. Unfortunately, my dad passed away when I was young. May Allah swt forgive him and grant him Jannah. Ameen.

As an adult I call them Mom and Dad......as a child it was Momma and Daddy!

My kids call me Mommy and their father, who is North African, Baba......and my husband calls his mother Ommie, not sure on spelling there.....

My kids call my parents Nanny and Papa and their paternal grandparents Meemaw and Azizi

In Kurdish, my mother tongue, I say ''Daya'' to address my lovely mother. But I have never addressed my father, who was killed before I was born, may Allah grant him with the Paradise. If he was alive, I would address him '' Baba''

assalamo alaikum..

my best-friend is afghani..and she calls her mother that too..hehe

well I'm Arab..and I call mom..*mama* or *mom*..and dad..*baba* or *bab*..I've heard most people from the north of Iraq (where I come from) call their parents this way

most people in Iraq though...say...*yomma* or *yom*..for mom..and..*yaba* or *yab*..for dad

:salam2:
am an arab too, so i call my mum yumma and my dad yaba.
but in correct arabic i think it is abbi for dad and ummi for mum.
and when i wake up in the morning or come into the house i say asalam aleikum and kiss their hands, for mum hand and forehead.
:wasalam:

Is Abi the proper noun or Abba/ Aba.
Thats precisely what i was taught. To kiss my mother and dads hand. But i only do that when i leave my house
