Apart from Allah, nobody knows what our Mother really does for us.
1. YOUR MOTHER CARRIED YOU IN HER STOMACH FOR 9 MONTHS BEARING PAIN UPON PAIN!
2. DURING THIS TIME, SHE COULD NOT EAT BECAUSE OF YOU! SHE COULD NOT SLEEP BECAUSE OF YOU!
3. WHEN YOU WERE A BABY; SHE SPENT EVERY MINUTE OF HER LIFE LOOKING AFTER YOU!
4. SHE ONLY SLEPT WHEN YOU SLEPT! SHE ONLY ATE AFTER YOU HAD EATEN!
5. SHE WAS PATIENT AND LOVED YOU EVEN WHEN YOU CRIED ALL NIGHT, AND WHEN YOU CRIED ALL DAY!
6. SHE TAUGHT YOU HOW TO WALK, HOW TO SPEAK, HOW TO EAT, SHE TAUGHT YOU HOW TO LIVE!
7. WHEN YOU FALL ILL, SHE LOOKS AFTER YOU!
8. SHE ALWAYS COOKS AND PREPARES FOOD FOR YOU!
9. SHE BUYS YOU WHATEVER YOU ASK FOR!
10. SHE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!
Allah has ordered us, in various places of the Holy Qur’an, to be good to our mothers.
He has told us to look after them even more when they are old and weak.
He has taught us to be gentle to our mothers and speak to them in a nice manner.
He has also told us to supplicate to Him for our Parents with this prayer,
“RABBIR-HAMHUMA KAMA RABBAYANI SAGHEERAH.”
(MY LORD HAVE MERCY UPON MY PARENTS; THE WAY THEY HAD MERCY UPON ME WHEN I WAS YOUNG).
The Prophet has also ordered us to be good to our mothers.
He has told us about the great rewards for that person who is good to his mother.
He has also warned us of severe punishments for that person who is disobedient to his mother.
However hard we try, we can never repay our mothers for what they have done for us, but we can at least try, and also ask Allah to repay them for us.
Our mothers are indeed a great blessing from Allah.
We should appreciate and value this blessing as much as we can.
Whilst our mothers are alive, we have a golden opportunity to guarantee ourselves paradise and also success in this world.
REMINDER: We will only truly realise the value of our mother when she is no longer with us –
when she will pass away but then it will be too late!
