Dear Mothers, Thank You

OK, sebelum jalan kita baca doa dulu...

Adik in the ward

Whooaa... berabuk bedebu semua ada, lama betul tak ber-update blog ni. 

Life was a bit challenging for us I must say for February 2012. After Chinese New Year, humaira was admitted to the hospital due to bronchialitis with pneumonia. First was to KMC. After a week, she was discharged. Four days later, she was admitted again, due to unresolved pneumonia, this time to KSH. Total time staying in the hospital was about 2 weeks. Plus taking care of a sick child at home. Alhamdulillah I have a very brave and patient wife. Every time I see how she struggled with adik, having sleep deprivation and all, I thank Allah for having her, where only a mother can fulfill that kind of duty. A father? err... balik awal laa. Don't think we have that kind of patience.

This further extended my understanding why we should obey our mothers three times before our fathers, as mentioned in a hadith: It was narrated by Abu Hurairah (R) that a man came to the Prophet (pbuh) and asked him, "Who amongst his near one had the greatest right over him?" The Prophet replied, "Your mother". The man then asked, "Who after that?" to which the Prophet replied again, "Your mother". Asked who is next, the Prophet again replied, "Your mother". When the man asked who after that, the Prophet said, "Your father".

And further this makes me love my mother a lot more. My mother has been with us for the whole duration, helping out with whatever possible; physical and material. Thank you Ma, again you have shown the true spirit of a mother.

Aiman used her opah's presence as a big excuse not to go to school. "Aiman school dengan opah aje kat rumah, opah kan teacher," he commented. 

And again, I thank these mothers for everything. And all mothers out there, only Allah can pay the rewards upon your good deeds towards your children, your family...
