Salam.
A little 'happening', a little 'reflection', a little 'nostalgia'; have yielded this 'little' post. Hope my friends like it. The post centers around a Mother hence very appropriate it is to quote Rasool Ullah's (ﷺ) two Ahadith out of many:
- Your Heaven lies under the feet of your mother (Ahmad, Nasai).
- A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah SWT! 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).
A quote goes; "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."
My son Saad Hasan is just a little over 7 years old...full of life to the extent of being 'hyper active'...Football, Cricket, Cartoons and ear picking (others) are his favorite activities.....Nutshell A STAR OF THE HOUSE....LOVED AND ATTENDED TO BY EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY.
Every day early in the morning he moves into our bedroom and asks his mother for a 'جادو کی جپھی' (The Magical Hug); goes to sleep in her arms for sometime and then starts up with his routine.
Just before the advent of Ramadhan Karim we went to our native village to see near and dear ones. Saad accompanied us and insisted on staying there for sometime; I declined and he brought SIFARISH of his ABU JAAN (My brother is called Abu by all children of the family), so I had to relent. He stayed back, was very happy and asked us to send Summer Vacation Home Work and Books to him immediately.
2-3 days back we started receiving frantic calls to get him ..Yesterday he called his elder brother and broke down...Who left immediately for the village and brought him back...
He came in...gave a look of a Plant which had gone without water and sunshine for quite sometime....burnt, laid back and depressed. Everyone gathered around him....asking questions as to what had gone wrong? Was he not looked after properly?.....
The spontaneous reply which came forth is the reason for this post. He said he was loved by everyone, looked after, cared and hugged but there was no 'جادو کی جپھی' (THE MAGICAL HUG OF THE MOTHER).
ماں تجھے سلام !
SALUTE TO EVERY MOTHER !
