In ISLAM Every Day is Mother's Day
One
day a man came to see the Prophet
Muhammad,
peace and blessings be upon him. It seemed that he was trying to solve something
but couldn't quite work it out. So he asked the Prophet.
''Tell me, O Prophet!'' I have many relatives and many friends whom I love, and
whom I wish to care for and help. But I often find it difficult to decide which
of them has the greatest claim upon me? Which of them should come first?'' The
Prophet replied immediately, ''Your
mother should come first and before all others.''
The
man was very pleased to have this clear guidance from the Prophet.
But of course there were all his other relatives and his friends, so he asked
''and after my mother, who has the greatest claim upon me?'' The Prophet's
reply this second time surprised him. ''Your
mother!'' he
said again.
The
man wondered why the Prophet
was repeating himself. Perhaps he had not spoken clearly, the man thought, so he
asked the question again, ''What I want to know is, after my mother, who has the
greatest claim upon me? Again the Prophet
said ''your
mother!''
The
Prophet
had now said it three times. Slowly, the man realized why he had done so. ''The Prophet
means that my mother is extremely important, so much so that my duty to her must
be stressed over and over again. Even so, the man's thoughts ran on, ''what
about all the others I love and wish to care for?'' Still uncertain and wanting
to know more, he once again turned to the Prophet
and said, ''and after my mother, who comes after her? Is there anyone besides
her?'' The Prophet
then replied ''after
your mother, your father.''
''And then?'' asked the man. ''Then people who are nearest to you,'' said the
Prophet. Allah's peace and blessings be upon the Prophet.
