A Mother means a universe in one’s life. It is a feeling that would never change.œMaa is the first word spoken when we are born.
A Mothers love leads to heaven. The word œmother invokes a feeling of love. Without them, we are nobody. For nine months we are stacked for love in their womb, almost every second they whisper, singing with love and affection. The pain they endure during the moment of birth gave way to a feeling of love and joy when mothers see for the first time their cute little baby. Thats why only people named ˜mother are very special and priceless. Allah had mentioned of mothers in the Quran:
œAnd We have enjoined upon man (care) for his parents. His mother carried him, (increasing her) in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the (final) destination. (Luqman :14)
In any matter, Prophet Muhammad (May Peace be on Him) also emphasized on the importance of the mother. Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) reported that a person came to the Messenger of Allah and asked: œWho among people is the most deserving of my fine treatment? He replied: œYour mother. He then asked, œWhos next? The Prophet replied: œYour mother. He asked again: œWhos next? He said again, œYour mother. He again asked, œThen who? He said: œYour father. [Sahih Bukhari]
Mother’s Day is not a day where every woman who has given birth should be treated special. It is a day where every mother such as nanny, caretaker, nurturer, grandmother, aunt, or even older cousins are recognized for the wonderful job they do in influencing us to become who we are today. Mothers teach us how to love, cherish, and respect who we are, and what it takes for us to become the adults we will one day be.
A mother holds the power of prayer for the children. There is a proverb, œheaven lies under the fee of mothers. Thus, dont make your mother leave you with full of sadness, but instead fill her heart with happiness. Every smile seen on her lips is a reward for you. A Mothers smile and laugh are priceless gifts.
˜My mothers whisper is like the soft wind,
It is like pulling a boat through lifes stormy sea,
She came and weaned me by her gentle being,
And understanding, calmly she makes me to see.
My mother parades through the empty darkness,
In a world filled with fear and pain,
Giving me her love in this world of emptiness,
Protecting me from anguish snow and rain.
Mother. Your understanding is sincere,
And the love from you is such a precious thing,
When I think of her, she is like a fine pearl far out there,
Your love is just for me. What a Wonderful Being.
