[umu zakaria]

SA,

 

Do you celbrate mothers day?

 

how do thank ur mother? what is ur most memorable event or thing about ur mother?

[Malika]

I dont celebrate Mothers day per say, I make sure I call her every week twice, praise her,thank her for her wisdom, courage,streght and above all her kindness,the lessons she taught me through my life.

 

My most memorable event , will have to be when I was 8,and through what was going on in our lives, I decided to be a selective mute, for a whole 6 months I didnt speak to anyone at home..just send them notes if I had anything to say to anyone..My poor mother was beside her self with worry.One day she made an appointment for me to see a specialist,as we were walking to the doctors, I spoke to her..My mother kneed down next to me, hugged me so hard, tears flowing and all she said, Alhamdulillah! We had a long discussion about why I decided to be mute, she promised she will always make time for her special little girl..Me!

 

My mother God Bless her, she is our ROCK,our CENTRE...Our mother teresa, Magret Thacher, Indira Gandhi,Araweloo all roled into one..My MOTHER.

Isn't everyday is the mothers day ???

 

 

that is not fair at all ,, we should celebrate for our mothers every single minute for their kind, passion and care they provide us continuously ,,,,,,,,,

 

I call and/or see my Mother every single day ,,,, i can't miss her

[Kool_Kat]

Although, everyday should be mother's day, it is nicer to have one day dedicated to mothers...As a mother, I now have more appreciation and respect for my mother...Don't get me wrong, I've always appreciated and respected my mother...It's just that since I became one myself, I relate to her more...

 

I now know how she felt when I got sick, all the long days and nights she stayed up to make sure I was OK...

I now know how she felt when I fell down, to pick me up so quickly, wrap her arms around me and make me feel safe...

I now know how she felt when I cried, to put me on her lap and hold me...

I now know how she felt when I was sad, to hold me in her arms and tell me she loves me

And a lot more...

 

Once you become a mother, you have a whole new prospective in life…You appreciate the little things life has to offer - like your child‘s first steps, first word, first smile, etc…You’re no longer number one, your child is…Your whole existence is for that child…

 

Yes, I celebrate mother’s day…I make sure on that day my mother feels extra special…

 

I thank Allah first and foremost, for giving me such a wonderfur, strong, beauftiful, healthy mother...

 

Then, I am thankful for the way my mom raised me, taught me, supported me, provided for me…She made me who I am today, and without her I am NOTHING…

 

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!

[umu zakaria]

Glad to see mothers in here. but i hear it is not islamic to celbrate i hope no one mistakes anti islamic rituals,

 

The idea of a didicated mothers day is really uplifting. thanks to anyone who makes his her mother extra special.

[-Lily-]

Well done to all the mothers for the good job they have done and continue to do.

 

p.s.

 

You’re no longer number one, your child is…Your whole existence is for that child

I know you mean it out of love but I find that deeply disturbing! Its one thing to put your kid first but for your sole existence to revolve around that kid is unimaginable to me.

[Aaliyyah]

Our mothers have done so much from us , I think it is certainly important to appreaciate all thier efforts. I took my mother out yesterday and we had a blast. In my opinion, everyone should start celeberating mother's day. There is nothing wrong with having that special day, where you be extra nice to your mother. As the following Hadith actually shows How important mothers are :

 

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

 

 

May Allah have mercy on our mothers, and reward them for all their achievements and hard work.

 

some suggestions on what you can do for your mom:

 

 

10 Things You Can Do For Your Mom

 

Often, moms do virtually all of the giving and very little, if any, of the taking from their families. They may not say it, but most of them want to be appreciated in small ways. You don't have to buy them a car or a house (you could do that too), but it's the small things that count with mom.

 

Here are some ideas of how you can let mom know that all of her giving has and continues to be appreciated.

 

1. Give mom a vacation

 

Don't think Hawaii. Think of a day away from the kitchen. Or the home. Give her a vacation from the home where for her, most of the seemingly endless housework is done daily. Or, if she doesn't want that, start doing your share around the house. Maybe you could start giving her one day of the week off, when she does no cooking or household chores. Remember, fathers and husbands work hard at the office, but they get a two-day weekend in most cases. Moms usually don't even get a full day off. And if they are also working outside, it's like two full time jobs.

 

2. Let's hear her life story: a mom's circle

 

She may have read you bedtime stories when you were small, but now it's time for her to tell you a different story-about herself. Make a mom's circle at home in which you ask her to tell her life story. Mom's circle may actually turn into a project: one family member could write this up into a report, another could make a story book out of it and a third could video/audio record it. A mom's circle may become an ongoing family tradition.

 

3. Try beating mom's cooking

 

While most moms ask their kids what they want to eat, turn the tables around and do the same for her. Is there special food your mom likes? Buy or prepare that food for her (if you are not the best of cooks, maybe it's safer to just buy it).

 

4. Is your mom in a nursing home

 

If your mom is in a nursing home, why not plan to bring her home for a weekend visit to stay with you. Even better, why not make this a weekly, or twice a month set up, so you can spend more time with her and she can be around those who really love her more often? Of course the ultimate gift will be if you can liberate her from that nursing home so she can stay in her room in your own home.

 

5. Arrange a mammogram for her

 

Every three minutes, a woman in America is diagnosed with breast cancer. That woman could be your mom.

 

A woman's chances of developing breast cancer increases with age. The National Cancer Institute recommends women age 40 and over be screened with mammography every one to two years. It also advises that women at higher risk of breast cancer get medical advice before they are 40 about when to begin screening and about the frequency of their screening. Do this for your mom, so you can see her spend the rest of her life in good health, Insha Allah (if God wills).

 

6. Is your mom a bookworm?

 

If so, buy a small cabinet and buy all of the books you can afford. Then take it to her home and set it up for her.

 

7. If your mom is a non-Muslim

 

If your mom is a non-Muslim, try fasting for a day (Nafil or extra fasting), and keep thinking and praying for her. Ask Allah that He guides her and ask Him what you can do to help her understand her own Creator.

 

8. If your relationship has not been the best with your Mom

 

If your relationship with your mom has not been the best, sit down in front of a year-long calendar or planner and mark down dates and things which you can plan to improve this relationship. Start off by making a formal first appointment. Then pick dates on which you can keep contact with her and build your relationship on a regular basis.

 

9. If mom is not alive

 

If your mom is not alive, visit her relatives and friends and ask what you can do for them. Consider these two Hadiths (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him):

 

1. The Messenger of Allah said: When a person dies, his actions come to an end, except for three things: a continuing Sadaqa (charity), knowledge from which benefit is still being derived, and a righteous child who prays for her or him (translated meaning from Muslim).

 

2. Abu Usaid Saidi said: We were once sitting with Rasulullah when a man from the tribe of Salmah came and said to him: O Messenger of Allah! do my parents have rights over me even after they have died? And Rasulullah said:

 

Yes. You must pray to Allah to bless them with His Forgiveness and Mercy, fulfill the promises they made to anyone, and respect their relations and their friends (Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah).

 

10. Pick up her feet and spread the word

 

The Prophet Muhammad said: Your Heaven lies under the feet of your mother (Ahmad, Nasai). Ask your mom to lift her feet, so you can locate where Jannah is. Then tell others about your discovery by sharing what Islam has to say about moms and their importance in our lives.

 

 

wa salaamu alaikum

[Hunguri]

Jannadii Udgoonee

Inta Idanka Eebaheen

Loogu Furay Albaabada

Ilaaheey ha innaga dhigo.

 

This, was a part of Hadrawi's song dedicated to his mother in title of "Ogoow Hooyo Nuuraay". Anyhow, It should not only be the mothers day. It should always be a mother day. There is nothing we can pay back to our mothers.

Are you a mother?

-If you are and you don't understand what I mean, good luck.

-If you aren't, then you might (and that's just might), understand the meaning of what I wrote one day.
