Mother
Mother,Mom,Maa, Amma,Ammi,Mata.Different names,different languages,different cultures but same personality,that is,Love and tenderness.I can’t describe mother in just these two words.I am not capable of,noone is capable to define love of mother in few words,it is as impossible as counting stars in this universe.
World celebrtes Mother’s Day,I don’t know why only one day is needed to thank a person who tries her best to keep you safe from all sorrows,troubles of the world.
I remember the days when i was a kid and my mom was used to getup early in the morning,5/6 0 Clock and got ready to prepare breakfast for me,combing my hair,preparing meal for my school break or what not.She has been doing it for years,without any complain. I wonder can i show such patience?Offcourse not.Yes she has often beaten me up,she used to get mad at me,at that time i started crying,getting restless,but when i grew up,I realized that whatever she did,it was good for me.
I am not a 100% obedient son of my mother.I know I have hurt her oftenly,both intentially and unintentially but it does not mean that I don’t love my mother.NO i love her a lot,i dont know how much because I can’t measure it anyway.Due to my short temper nature my mother and others often consider me a guy with attitude,it doesn’t mean tht my mom doesn;t know me but i give such impression to her but very next moment I went to my maa,sit near her feet and says Sorry to her,she has got such a magical personlity tht I forget everything,every sorrws of mine when she hugs me.Wow,didn;t Allah give us a wonderful gift in form of mother.I was watching a hindi movie in which actoress says to her mom that God coudn’t be everywhere in physical form for us,thatswhy He created mother and its true.When Allah explains the love He has for his creature,he compared it with love of a mother that is,He(SWT) says that He loves us 70,000 times more than a mother.Read what G.Washington says about his mother:
My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.
For every child,his mother is most beautiful.We are reflections of our mothers and we should never ruin her image by any mean in our lives.
Today we see things like oldage houses where people actually throw their parents.Curse of Allah upon such people.Curse of mine on such people.Why don’t such people think that they would reach to same age one day,as i said in one of my post that woman’s real enemy is another woman,not a man.A woman(wife) forces her hubby to kick his mother out of home because shes like a burden,even sons do same and this is not in WEST only,it is in Pakistan too yeah,i got surpirsed when i saw a documentry on Alrahman-Alrahim channel in which they interviewed ladies and gentlemen who were parents fo some frigging guys and girls.They interviewed around 20 parents and NONE of them cursed to their kids,they were still praying for the health of their kids,those kids who sent them to such hell like place.Man i was weeping,no we can’t return our parents efforts back never ever.What can you return to your mother?What about the pain and burden she had when you were in her womb?Can you return that?or what about the endless nights and mornings she ruined for sake of your better health and future.I bet you would start frowning after few days.
Few years back I was very excited to go abroad for job and whnever i discussed it with my mom or dad,they didnt refuse at all but i could see their sad eyes but i was to careless that i never noticed them or say i didnt give them importance but i have experienced many things in past 2 years which brought lots of changes in me.Being a single son,i realize that my parents are at stage where they need me rather my money,therefore I have given up to go abroad,specially distant places like US or canada.They dont wana leave Pakistanhehe i dont know why:),all i know that if I am doing all this for sake of my parents,Allah will give me more than i could have abroad,that is my belief.So keep loving you mom,do tell her that you love her,I am not so expressive as i mentioned but I know you guys are not like me.Do tell her before it gets late and never compare your wife with your mother,love your wife but dont let her cross the limit that she forces you to offend your mother.It will be your mother’s prayers who brought you up.So many times i was saved from infinite harms and sorrows in life and it was all due to my mother’s prayers.I used to read an event in religious books about Moses(AS),as you know that Moses(AS) had privilege to talk Allah(SAW) directly,one day when HE was going to listen God’s order and he fumbled,God said to moses to be careful as Her mother doesnt exist anymore,it tells us how powerful are mother’s prayers.So please dont lose such wonderful personality,love her as much as you can,also tell me how can i express my feelings to her:)
I dont know what have i written above,its just i kept writing with moist eyes,yeah I couldn’t control myself when i was thinking about my mother.May Allah gives her big and wonderful life(ameen) so pardon me for random thoughts.In last i would quote a hadith about Importance of mother in Islam.
A man came to the Prophet and asked:”Messenger of Allah, who is the most deserving of good care from me?” The Prophet replied: “Your mother (which he repeated three times) then your father, then your nearest relatives in order”.

I am blessed as your are with a wonderful mother. Some people were not so lucky. Some people have mothers who were evil, selfish women. Those are the mothers who end up in the old age homes. Surely, there are some selfish children who put good parents in the homes, too. Just don’t discount the fact that there are very bad parents in this world.
In your culture, these situations are more rare because the concept of family is paramount. In the US, the freedom of individual choices has become overly important and often overshadows family. This is why there are both bad children and bad parents. Some mothers decide they made a mistake and want to be “free” so they divorce their husbands and leave the children in his care (and vice-versa). I think old age homes are full of mothers as a result of this trend.
My father has passed away many years ago and he was the only child of my grandmother who lives in a nursing home. She has full-time medical needs that I cannot tend to (I work a full-time job and so does my mother). We tend to have small families in America, so often assisted care for our elders is our only choice.
It’s just a different situation.
Peace.

Allah explains the love He has for his creature,he compared it with love of a mother that is,He(SWT) says that He loves us 70,000 times more than a mother.
Can u please tell me WHERE exactly in the Quran it says this. Or if its a Hadith can you give met the Exact reference….I don’t think this is really authentic. I have been searching to find its authenticity and am yet to find it because this is a very common example we use
