Mothers

Once while climbing the mount, prophet Moses slipped, God spoke to him to be very careful from that day on as his mother had died and now he was exposed to the perils of hell. As long as a person's mother is alive, her prayers for her child keep him safe from various perils. Not only does a mother pray for her child till her last breath, she provides him with constant guidance and support. Mothers hold a very high and special position in a person's life and the same has been highlighted in Islam as well. Prophet Mohammad said that the position of a mother is three times higher than that of a father and is the one person who should be loved and respected more than anyone else. The wise say that whenever a person is facing problems in his life, he should talk to his mother and his problems will disappear.
Ask a person who has lost his mother how he feels. Ask a motherless child, how lonely and sad he is. A mother is not a support only in childhood, she is a blessing all lifelong. I remember my grandfather speaking about his mother once. He said that though he was only five years old when his mother died and he hardly knew her, yet even at the age of more than eighty, his heart shivers when he hears the word 'mother'. Such is the impact of a mother.
And today, we read the news that a member of isis publicly killed his own mother because she told him to leave the terrorist organization. He killed his mother on the command of his evil bosses. He claims to represent Islam but in reality he is following the regime of satan. Anyone can imagine how much a person has deviated from the right path, how much misguided to have harmed his own parent who was the biggest blessing from God. And how blind he is to have closed the doors of God's mercy.
