Mother’s heart
Each of us knows that mother is the dearest person in the whole world. What do we know about a mother’s love for her child? Is it possible to feel this love without becoming a parent? Such questions are relevant for all times. And I know that it is not an easy task to find answers for them.
Many philosophers and scientists are trying to understand motherly love. Poets of the past and present compose poems about it, but not one of them could explain these feelings in accordance with their greatness.
Speaking of maternal love, it must be pointed out that this love is undoubtedly unique: a mother’s heart is filled not only with great love, but also with compassion and tenderness for her child and these feelings remain throughout her life.
As an argument for my words, I want to cite a parable that I heard from my great-grandmother when I was a child. I recently came across this story on the Internet.
A young man was asked to bring his mother’s heart in exchange for money and gold. Obsessed with a thirst for wealth, he went home. When he came in he stabbed his mother’s heart with a knife and pulled it out of her chest. Walking back, he was in such a hurry that he stumbled and fell, dropping mother’s heart to the ground. And then he heard the compassionate voice of his mother: “O my beloved son, are you hurt?” At that very moment the young man realized what he had done. He felt as if the wrath of heaven fell on him. Taking a knife, he was about to stab it into his chest. But then the mother’s heart called out to her son again: “Please do not kill me twice! Stop! Do not kill my heart again!”
Mother’s love is incomparable. No one is able to love like a mother. Stronger than maternal love is only the love of the Almighty for us, for His creations.
And the mother is the one who most deserves respect, attention and reverence. Here it should be noted that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) called on people to treat their mother with respect.
It was narrated by Abu Hurairah (may God be pleased with him), “Once a person came to the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked, “Who among people is most deserving of my fine treatment?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Your mother”. He was again asked, “Who next?” “Your mother”, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied again. He was again asked, “Then who?” Thereupon he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Then your father.”
In accordance with this hadith, everyone should think about the position before the Almighty of one who shows irreverence and disrespect towards his parents and especially towards his mother.
In conclusion, I want to say that each of us should honour our parents and try to achieve their satisfaction, because the saying of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is, “The pleasure of God the Almighty is in the contentment of parents, and His anger is in the anger of parents.” (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi)
Do not forget that, by the will of God the Most High, every child will grow up and have his own family and children and these children will treat him the way he treated his parents himself.
