Upon hearing the word "mother" - and its equivalent in any language - the first thing that comes to mind is the woman who gave birth to us, but this concept has suffered many examples throughout history. Rapid changes in human society make these examples more widespread. This article aims to investigate the evolution of the concept and examples of "motherhood" in human language and is written with a descriptive-analytical method.

Especially Islam is examined. Examples of mothers over time include: a group of mothers and women and even tribal girls in primitive tribes, the mother goddess - with different names - the biological mother who gave birth to the child or donated her egg, the mother who conceived an embryo from the egg of another raised in her womb, the person's grandmother and female ancestors, foster mothers, adoptive and alleged mothers, wives of the Prophet, mother-in-law, mother or biological and father who has changed gender.
