A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?"
"Because I need to" she said.
"I don't understand," he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem
to cryfor no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," his dad answered carelessly
The little boy , still wondering why women cry, finally asked
the old wise shaikh. "He surely knows the answer", he thought.
"Ya Shaikh! Why do women cry so easily?"
He answered: "When Allah made the woman she had to be made so
special. He made her shoulders strong enough to carry the
weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. He gave her an
inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that comes
from her children. He gave her a hardness that allows her to keep
going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through
sickness and fatigue without complaining. He gave her the sensitivity
to loveher children under any and all circumstances, even when her
childhurts her very badly. He gave her strength to carry her
husbandthrough his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect
his heart. He gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never
hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to
standbeside him unfalteringly.
And lastly, He gave her a tear.
This is hers and only hers exclusively to use whenever she needs it.
She needs no reason, no explanation, its hers."
"You see my son, the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes
shewears, the beauty of her face, or the way she combs her
hair.Thebeauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is
the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
The little boy got the answer and never asked the question
again.
