Before speaking to the Sultan about Aladdin's marriage to his daughter, Aladdin's mother was filled with emotions that made her stand still without breathing. She was nervous about approaching the powerful ruler, knowing that he was known for his demanding nature.
At the same time, she was determined to do what was best for her son and saw this as an opportunity to secure his future. Despite her nerves, she was confident in her abilities to use her wit and diplomacy to convince the Sultan to grant Aladdin's request once he requested her to speak. While she felt the weight of the request and was afraid on how the Sultan might react, she still presented the proposal to him.
