assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah my
brothers and sisters I wanted to share
something that happened with me
personally not too long ago I went to
visit a friend of mine whose mother was
dying of cancer she had been battling
cancer for about five years and news
came to me that she was on her last days
so I went to visit the brother and as I
sat down with him he was explaining to
me that his mother is going through that
state of Sakura Telmo conscious and
unconscious and and that the cancer was
really starting to spread all over so as
i sat with this friend of mine and we
were talking his eyes teed up so I
naturally I mean I assumed that because
his mother's dying and so I tried to
comfort him and I said to him look you
know this is natural in life and he said
no I'm not crying because she's leaving
and of course I am upset but that's not
why I'm crying I said then why you upset
he said I'm upset because all my life
I've never thanked my mother for what
she's done
and honestly I can't explain what
happened to me when he said these words
you know he said all my life I've never
once in my life said thank you to my mum
he said and now that she's sitting in
the next room and she's alive but she's
conscious and unconscious and even if I
spoke to her she's not going to be able
to understand or comprehend the words
that I'm saying
and while my my brothers and sisters
this really affected me that all his
life you know all of our lives for those
of us who are fortunate enough that
their mothers are still around you know
my mum has been there all my life never
failed me once never failed me once and
never once have I ever come to her and
just said thinking and not one of those
thank-yous with some flowers and that's
a good thank you but there's really deep
thank yous you know that thank you that
if she left me now I've told her and I
thanked her from the depths of my heart
what why he my brothers and sisters I I
you know I haven't I haven't been able
to forget this that when was the last
time you thanked your mother when was
the last time you showed your mother
genuine appreciation for everything that
she's ever done or are we going to be
like those or are we going to be of
those who when our mothers leave us
permanently then we will sit back and
remember and start to regret that I
didn't take advantage of the opportunity
when I had you know my brothers in many
places around the world they celebrate
this thing called Mother's Day and it
breaks my heart because in Islam in
truth Mother's Day is every day we don't
single out one day of the year to say
our mom look I remembered you today but
rather we ordered by Allah and His
Prophet more or less to remember our
mothers on a daily basis a man came to
the prophet of Allah any system a
prophet of Allah and many of us get this
hadith wrong he says our prophet of
Allah who is most deserving of my kind
treatment he says from your mother he
says then whom said from your mother he
said to him then whom he said to me your
mother he said then whom he said then
your father many of us we interpret this
to be love that my mother is most
deserving of my love no the person that
is most deserving of your kind treatment
of your money of your health of your of
everything that you possess the person
that is most deserving of this more than
anyone above all is your mother then
your mother then your mother and then
your father my brothers and sisters in
short many of us we still have our
mother's well why do not be of the
losers who wait until our mother's leave
us permanently only then to wish and to
regret and say you know I wish I can go
back and thank my mother if your mother
is still around you know run by Allah
run to her and thankful for everything
that she's done we ask Allah subhana WA
Ta'ala to make us of those who have the
best relationship with their mothers and
we ask Allah subhana WA Ta'ala to give
them
