Another name for mother is
sacrifice
In my youth and when mum was still alive everything came easy for us,
We managed to pass our exams,
Have some of our important dreams come true,
Successful in life,
A loving husband and a happy home,
Most problems solved,
Sometimes there was pain and sadness,
Without which life is not complete.
One day I sat with mum as she was reciting Quaran,
Duas and tasbeeh,
She looked angelic and calm,
and peaceful.
Out of curiosity I asked her if she did not find it boring just reciting Quaran verses the whole day,
The answer she gave me solved my question to why I and my siblings were so blessed and lucky,
"I am asking Allah to keep safe my children from calamities of life,
To forgive their sins,
So they taste success in life,
Be happy, prosperous and healthy.
I have already lived my life,
Allah has been kind to me,
And I beg him to give you a joyful,peaceful and successful life,
Strength to overcome your burdens and anxieties.
Here was my mum sacrificing her time in the name of Allah,
"Giving Him all her best,
So he would give us the rest."
Ameen.
