Beloved Prophet (SAW) said, “Heaven lies beneath the feet of mother”. In a Hadith (of Sahih Bukhari, Muslim), a man came to the Prophet (SAW) and said, ‘O Messenger of Almighty Lord! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet (SAW) said, Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet (SAW) said, Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet (SAW) said, Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet (SAW) said, ‘Then your father.’
A Mother’s Selfless Love: The Guiding Light in Our Lives
Being lucky enough to have your parents dwelling with you is a profound blessing that not all people enjoy. It’s like having a guiding light in your existence, a person who is continually there for you via thick and thin. Lifestyle itself doesn’t come with a guide or a hard-and-fast set of commands to navigate its complexities; however, it does gift us with a mother. A mom’s love is aware of no bounds; she dedicates herself for your well-being and imparts useful understanding along the way. Her happiness is intertwined with yours, and she feels each joy and sorrow deeply, staying irreplaceable, shaping your adventure along with her unconditional love and unwavering assistance. It’s critical to honour and cherish your mom, regardless of desiring a particular motive to do so. From the instant you entered this world till now, she’s been the one nurturing and shaping you into the individual you’re today. She prioritises your desires above her very own, making sure you’ve got the exceptional and sufficient, even as she frequently places herself last. Your very lifestyle is indebted to her, as she introduced you to this international community and sustains you along with her love and care. Your presence is not just a mere present but a severe want bestowed upon you by using your mother, who persevered nine months of problems carrying you in her womb. This act of kindness and sacrifice is something you may never absolutely pay off, underscoring the intensity of her love and selflessness.
Mother: The Kitchen’s Soul
Our moms are clearly kitchen scientists, carrying out daily experiments without realising it. Every day, they take care of chemical reactions even as cooking, simply as a laboratory scientist plays experiments in a lab. At the same time as a lab scientist follows medical techniques, a kitchen scientist contains their experiments through easy steps, the use of heat, mixing, and separation strategies. The kitchen is like a mini laboratory, wherein chemistry performs a critical role in meal instruction. An educated son or daughter can substantially assist their mom by way of teaching her primary terms. There’s no difficult-and-rapid rule for mastering medical concepts; however, everyday practice and observation can make a difference. We need to not hesitate to educate them on new medical phrases. Providing them with scientific consciousness in cooking will now not best make their paintings extra significant; however, it may even beautify their gaining knowledge of experience.
Mother’s unconditional love
& late son:
It was Ramadan 2024. A mother, namely Rafeeqa, 50, the wife of carpenter Najar and mother of four children, suddenly lost her 16-year-old son, who was the diligent one among all her children. He was appearing for his 10th-class board exams when he felt a normal pain that turned unbearable within just a week and took his life. “This shocking death of my almost-grown son has left me with a deep emotional scar; his spirit will journey with me throughout this life and comfort me when I long to see him,” the mother said. During the funeral, the mother distributed toffees as locals carried her son’s body to the graveyard. Nine months after the son’s death, I visited their home, and the mother shared her story with me, tears streaming down her face. She showed me her son’s passport-size photos, which she always carried in her personal pocket and treasured like precious jewellery.
A Story of Mother’s
Unwavering Strength:
A beautiful, charming life came to a pause, and Fayaz could have never imagined that one day his wife would have to look after his children when his health one day deteriorated and made his life crippled. Fayaz, a daily wager in Kashmir, would sustain his family with his daily earnings and always keep smiles on their faces. But when he fell ill, all the responsibilities turned on his partner’s shoulders. Now Fayaz’s wife became the sole caretaker and life survival force for his 3 young children. Fayaz’s wife has never led their children to suffer or feel any absence. She would always reassure them that their father was fine and doing well & what a father could do to their children, Fayaz’s wife would fill that void with love and affection. A visit by this author to Fayaz’s home experiences a life full of bloom inside Fayaz’s home. Despite Fayaz’s ill health and financial constraints, she never complained to God and instead always remained thankful and hopeful that all would ease and that the “sufferings are temporary”. This author was moved by the courage and passion the wife is showing to their children in the absence of his love. One has to have faith in God in good or bad times. These were the words of Fayaz’s wife, despite her knowing that his husband would never recover fully, perhaps. She has proved a true wife and a true mother to his husband & children as well. She describes what if it would have been me instead of Fayaz. God is “Meherbaan” and praiseworthy. A true believer should never become ungrateful to God. That is what Islam stands for, she tells this author at his one-storey home, which seems empty in his husband’s bad health days.
Missing son & mother
endless wait:
Khateeja was near-about 80; she lived a very dejected life. She lost her beloved husband at a very young age. She witnessed & suffered through the whole decade of militancy in Kashmir. She lost her ill young son, Rasheed, who went missing & was not traced after many attempts by both authorities & family till the last breath of the mother. On Monday morning in December, amid bone-chilling cold, news spread around about her death; everyone rushed to attend funerals. Imam Sahab, at his funeral, said, “When I met her one year back, she was very much emotionally distressed in her son’s sorrow. In short there has never been, nor will there ever be, anything quite so special as the love between a mother and a son.
CONCLUSION
Thus, a mother’s love is eternal; sprinkle it all over. Its fragrance creates positive energy which binds this universe with love and affection. To maintain peace in the world, a mother has to impart love eternally until she is alive, and she has to hold your hearts, even when she’s gone. This love creates good energy which boosts every individual to love each other, and there is no scope for wars. Present society needs Mother’s love to protect this motherly world. All mothers have to start their mission of nurturing their children with love and affection to carry the positive energy into this world.
So, on Mother’s Day and every other day (because every day is Mother’s Day), let us realise that our mother is the ultimate blessing from Almighty, and by her blessings, we grow, nurture and attain pinnacles of success in our life and build a way in seeking Akhirah (the final goal).
