A VERY POWERFUL ILLUSTRATION; LOVE & RESPECT YOUR MOTHERS UNCONDITIONALLY..!! The Prophet (peace be upon him) made great emphasis that sons and daughters must honour their mothers, and that the biggest debt they owe is the one to their mother for raising them. He (peace be upon him) ordered us to respect and fully accept the caretaking of our aging parents without considering it a burden, that of course if they are living. What if our mothers are no longer among us? Do our duties towards them end? Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has advised us to perform good deeds in the name of our parents, so that the reward goes to the soul of the dead parent. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When a human being dies, all of his deeds are terminated except for three types: an ongoing charity, knowledge from which others benefit, and a righteous child who makes supplications for him. (An-Nasai, 3651) In this, we may ascertain that its never too late to repay our parents and mother in particular if they have passed away. We are given a second chance. For me, Islam is the best reminder of my mothers presence on a personal basis and her significance to Islam on a general basis. With the daily encouragement mentioned above I know I will always keep my mother close to my heart. After all she is my connection to the divine and I am truly grateful for the occasion to reflect on that. Each of us should appreciate what we have in our mothers. They are our teachers and our role models. Every day with them is an opportunity to grow as a person. Every day away from them is an opportunity missed.
