What MOTHER stands for?

A man came to the Prophet SAW and asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet SAWW said: Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?' The Prophet SAWW said: Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?' The Prophet SAWW said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?' The Prophet SAWW said: Then your father.

(Bukhari, Muslim)                                                

Indeed a Mother is the most trustworthy person among all when we hung between many harsh circumstances. She's a best friend who always listens to us, she's the one who spends all her night awaken when we get ill. She is a shelter for us in this horrible world. A one who always tries hard to finish out our miseries. She's a one who teaches us to face trouble and worries with patience and courage. A mother is a whole world for her child in an individual soul.

Allah’s greatest gift to us is a mother, who carries heaven under her feet. Mother is the name of an eternal feeling of love, care, understanding, selflessness, a beautiful combination of six alphabets as Howard Johnson said:

M is for the million things she gives me

O means only that she's getting old

T is for the tears she shed to save me

H is for the heart of purest gold

E is for her eyes with love

R means the right and right she will always be.

Thus, a  Mother is the most precious pearl in the world and we should be thankful to Allah Almighty for this beautiful irreplaceable blessing.

May Allah SWT protect our mothers, give them a healthy and prosperous life. Ameen.
