A mother is not just a person. She is a blessing, a dua, and a Jannat in this world. ALLAH has given mothers a very special place. That is why it is said, Jannat lies under the feet of a mother.
From the day we are born, our mother forgets her own comfort for us. She stays awake when we are sick. She eats last so we can eat first. She smiles even when she is tired. Her love has no condition and no limit.
A Mother's Love Never Ends
A mother's love never ends. When we are small, she holds our hand. When we grow up, she holds our heart with her duas.
Even if the whole world leaves us, our mother will never leave us. She will always pray for us. When we are happy, she is happy. When we cry, she cries in her heart.
A mother can feel our pain even without us telling her. She knows when we are sad just by looking at our face. This is the love that ALLAH has put in a mother's heart.
Why We Should Value Our Mother Today
Many times we get busy in mobile, friends, and work. We forget to say thank you to our mother. We forget to sit with her, to talk to her, to ask how she is.
But we should value our mother today, not tomorrow. Because time does not wait. One day we will wish we had spent more time with her. One day we will wish we had said, "Ammi, I love you" more times.
So today, hug your mother. Kiss her hand. Say sorry if you hurt her.
What ALLAH Says About Mother In The Quran
ALLAH Pak ne Quran Pak me Maa ka darja bohot buland bataya hai. ALLAH farmata hai ke Maa Baap ke sath acha salook karo, unko uff tak na kaho.
In Surah Luqman, ALLAH Pak farmata hai:
"And We have enjoined upon man care for his parents. His mother carried him, suffering hardship upon hardship, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents."
Is ayat se pata chalta hai ke Maa ne hume kitni takleef se paida kiya. 9 mahine apne pait me rakha, phir 2 saal doodh pilaya. Is liye ALLAH ne apne shukar ke sath Maa Baap ka shukar bhi lazmi kar diya.
In Surah Bani Israel, ALLAH Pak farmata hai:
"And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and be kind to your parents. If one of them or both reach old age, do not say to them even 'uff', and do not rebuke them, but speak to them a noble word."
ALLAH ne sab se pehle apni ibadat ka hukum diya, aur uske foran baad Maa Baap ke sath husn-e-salook ka hukum diya. Yehi batata hai ke Maa ka darja ALLAH ke nazdeek kitna bara hai.
Nabi Pak (SAW) ne bhi farmaya, jab ek shakhs ne poocha ke sab se zyada husn-e-salook ka haqdar kaun hai? Aap (SAW) ne 3 baar farmaya, "Tumhari Maa, Tumhari Maa, Tumhari Maa" phir farmaya, "Tumhara Baap."
Is liye jo shakhs apni Maa ko khush karta hai, ALLAH us se khush hota hai. Aur jo apni Maa ko naraz karta hai, wo ALLAH ko naraz karta hai. Maa ki khidmat hi asal Jannat ka rasta hai.
A Mother's Sacrifices We Never See
We only see what our mother does in front of us, but her real sacrifices are those which we never see. When we are sleeping at night, she is awake making dua for us. When we are eating, she is thinking about what we will eat tomorrow. When we are sick, she does not sleep for the whole night.
A mother sacrifices her dreams for our dreams. She sacrifices her youth for our childhood. She sacrifices her comfort for our comfort. She never complains. She never says, I am tired. She always says, I am fine, even when she is not fine.
Many mothers in Pakistan work day and night. Some work at home, cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, taking care of children. Some work outside also, but still they come home and do all the house work. They never take a holiday. They never take a rest. For a mother, every day is a working day.
But do we ever say thank you to her? Do we ever ask her, Ammi, are you tired? Do we ever make a cup of tea for her? Small acts of love can make a mother so happy. A mother does not want money. She does not want big gifts. She only wants love, respect, and some time.
My Mother, My First Teacher
Our mother is our first teacher. She teaches us how to speak. She teaches us how to walk. She teaches us how to eat. She teaches us good manners. She teaches us to pray, to respect elders, and to love ALLAH.
Whatever we are today, it is because of our mother. If we are successful, it is because of her duas. If we are good people, it is because of her tarbiyat. A mother shapes the future of her children.
That is why in Islam, a mother has three times more right than a father. Because she bears the pain of pregnancy, the pain of birth, and the pain of bringing up children. No one can understand that pain except a mother.
We Should Never Hurt Our Mother
Sometimes in anger, we speak loudly to our mother. Sometimes we ignore her call. Sometimes we do not listen to her. But we should remember, one harsh word can break a mother's heart.
ALLAH Pak does not like those who hurt their parents. In Hadith, it is said that the one who disobeys his parents will not enter Jannat. So we should always speak softly with our mother. We should always obey her, except when she asks us to do something against Islam.
If you have ever hurt your mother, go today and say sorry. Hold her hand and say, Ammi, please forgive me. I promise I will never hurt you again. Your one sorry can make her forget all her pain.
Conclusion: Love Your Mother Before It Is Too Late
In the end, I want to say only one thing. Love your mother before it is too late. One day, this world will be empty without her. One day, you will search for her dua, but she will not be there.
So today, while she is alive, value her. Sit with her. Talk to her. Help her in work. Make her laugh. Make dua for her long life and good health.
May ALLAH give long life to all mothers. May ALLAH give Jannat-ul-Firdous to those mothers who have passed away. Ameen.
Remember, if you want success in this world and in Akhirah, then make your mother happy. Because when your mother is happy, ALLAH is happy with you.
