MY MOTHERS DAY MESSAGE

We
are told in Hadith (sayings/teachings/practice of Prophet Muhammad - S.A.W)
that, there was a time when one of his companions approached him and sought to
find out from the Holy Prophet, whom he should do good to, between his mother
and father. The Prophet responded by telling him to choose his mother over his
father and do good to her. Later, the companion came back to the Prophet again
and asked, whom he should do good to, between his
mum and dad.
The Prophet responded for the second time that, he
should do good to his mum. The companion again asked the prophet, whom he
should do good to, between his mum and dad. The Holy Prophet responded for the
third time that, he should do good to his mum. Until the fourth time when the
companion asked the Prophet, whom he should do good to, that, the Prophet
responded that he should do good to his dad. This moral lesson, from the
perspective of Islam, epitomizes the indispensability and uniqueness of our
Mothers in the scheme of things.
And if this is too deep for you to understand, let
me give you another perfect example. Your dad's action towards your birth or
creation, you know, lasted, less than 20 minutes BUT your mum, is the woman who
carried you in her stomach for as long as nine months with several negative
implications on her health and productivity. But she persevered, and when you
were born, she breastfed you, took care of you, endured your excreta and urine
which you showered on her, cleaned you up and ensured that you grew up into a
matured being. This is NOT the woman you should play with "Mr. Big
Man" and "Madam Big Girl".
On
the occasion of the commemoration of International Mothers Day, I'm pleased to
join the rest of the World in CELEBRATING all mothers and would-be mothers in
Ghana and across the globe. Thank you for tolerating all our excesses. Thank
you for how far you have brought us. And CONGRATULATIONS for placing second to
my mum, Mma Bilkis. You can't beat this woman on any day, as far as I'm
concerned. I LOVE YOU MUM and I love all Mothers on the planet. May Almighty
Allah BLESS you abundantly.
🙏🙏🙏
