To my mum

[Suhail]

I first saw light

my eyes blinked and opened

within your womb

In pain and distress

I entered life

You touched death

when I took my first breath

So small

I could lie, squirming and stretching

upon your gentle hand

Through tiredness and concern

I grew and learned

I found safety on your lap

a love that never fades

In later years I stood

and challenged you

rejecting your authority

But I returned.

where else to go

but to the one who knows me so well

Here I am again

a mother now

and you are gone

Your memory shines in my mind

I speak to mind

as you did to me

Arms outstretched

to collect broken fallen life

a haven

eagerly awaited

A lap, on which to rest

as I found comfort in you

Now I close my eyes

and feel your loving arms

hold me tight

Every word, kiss and kindness

is never lost

it shines in my being

and reflects onto mine.

It is not usually until we grow up and have children of our own that we truly appreciate the love and nurturing we received at the hands of our mothers. With all this in mind, i have dedicated this poem to my mum who contributed so much to what I am today, and who also provided many fields for my learning. Even though I am now grown with children of my own, she cares about me and offers me a love that has no conditions.

Great Poem Brother suhail786

But I Hope We Read It And Believe That We Only Have One Mother In Life And She Can Not Be Replaced Or Recovered

Our Happiness & Safety Is Her Goal Even If She Can Die For us Or Not Sleep

She Is The Part Of The Mercy Of Allah In Earth ... Can we imagine our life without mum … we can see how is the life of orphan child

If we Really Care For Her When She Needs us even if She Ask Or Not She Can Grunt For us The Reward From Allah In Hereafter To Enter Paradise ...... what a reward..............

this is true, also if we just remember that the Messenger of Allah in one of his hadeeth stated that looking at the mother's face is worship, so is looking at Ka`aba and in the Mushaf. Imgine just looking at your mother's face is counted as worship

Sobhan Allah, a very easy and accessible deed and many are just careless to do it.

Mashallah the poem is really good. I hope ppl will do as what Allah said about taking care of ur mother and treating her with respect. I really know that my mother is the most important thing 2 me after Allah and the prophet (PBUH). I hope everyone will know how important their mothers r before its 2 late.

Astaghfirullah if I am intruding on a forum that I should not. I clicked the new posts button and saw this topic and could not help but reply.

My mother died this past june after being paralyzed for two months due to complications from a ruptured anuerysm.

I miss her more than I thought I could miss her. I see her in my dreams. She tells me that she is not dead and that our lives can get back on track. These dreams are so real that upon waking I sometimes have to check with my brother to remember that she really is gone from this life.

Growing up, it was just my mother, brother and I in the house. She was everything for us. She worked long hours, two sometimes three jobs to put food on the table.

Looking back I can see all of the sacrafices that she made. My brother and I were all she had in her life that she loved and was proud of.

If you do not see all that your mother has given you, you will when she is gone. She will be one day. We all will be one day. The lives that Allah has granted us can seem so long sometimes, but when I really think about it our time is so short.

I do not have any deep regrets over my mother's death. Allah allowed us to say everything we needed to say to each other before the paralyzing surgery. I just miss telling her I love her. I miss hugging her and hearing her laugh. I miss her telling me how proud of me she is. I miss her comfort and advise. I thought I had many years ahead of me with my mother. I thought she would be able to hold her grandchildren that she wanted so much. Allah plans best and I submit. I love you all for letting me talk about my special lady who I miss, with a lump in my throat and tears filling my eyes.

May Allah accept our deeds during this holy month.

Jazakum Allah Khair

As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu

JazakA Allah Khair DAN for sharing your feeling with us

May Allah forgive her and shower her by his mercy

I think one of the sign of good Muslim is how they are treating their parents

If we do not… that means we have to check our deeds, we are in the wrong track

Because after the motherhood that never replaced and Allah command for greeting mothers if we do not obey Allah we are a loser

Ina llallah wa inah elyke rag3oon. Dan I really feel ur pain b/c I was afraid 2 loose my mum when she had heart problems. I started having nightmares. I started 2 think what will happen 2 me if I loose her. Its hard on me 2 loose her b/c I got really close 2 her after my father died so she is the only thing left for me. I really pray every day 4 her and 4 my dad 2 b/c I also missss him soooooooooooooooo much. Life without him is hard bas al7amduallah Allah make us hold on b/c we know that inshallah we will c them again inshallah in heavens, but until that day we still have 2 pray 4 them 2 go 2 heavens and wait until we meet again.
