Repent to Allâh Almighty

Question :

Once, I became very angry at my mother, and I said in front of my older brother, "By Allah, if she wasn't my mother, I would have burned her." Is there a sin against me for what I said, even though I later regretted saying it?

Answer:

Without a doubt, this is a great sin, for you have swore by Allah Almighty to do something to your mother (burning her) that we are not even allowed to do to the enemy disbelievers during battle. You have wronged your mother, the mother that has such a great right upon you. You should have been patient if she did something, and you should have reciprocated her anger with your love and gentleness. Therefore, it is incumbent upon you to repent to Allâh Almighty and to regret what you have done; furthermore, you must ask your mother to forgive you and pardon you. And Allah Almighty accepts repentance from His servants and he forgives evil deeds.
