Some people consider Superman a superhero, Spider-Man a superhero, Iron Man a superhero, and Black Panther a superhero, but no superhero has the quality of self-sacrifice, perseverance, burning desire to see our kids thrive in life, even if they face many obstacles other than our mother.
I’ve once been told that no action is enough to compromise the hard work and patience our parents have put in for us to be successful. Even in the afterlife, when we’ll be facing judgment by Allah, we’ll never be able to pay back or compensate for what our parents have done for us.
Allah has ordered us to obey, listen, and fulfill the requests of our parents.
In Surah Luqman (31:14), the Quran quoted about a mother’s sacrifice: “And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [enduring] weakness upon weakness, and his weaning was in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination.”
No action is worthy enough as a thank you to our parents; they never care about themselves but always advise us to study hard and succeed in life.
There has been blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice to give you the advantages to get the head start in life.
Yet spoiled kids have been disobeying their parents, rightfully counted as disobeying Allah. Their own personal dominance makes them get out of their parents’ supervision to be a cool thug or not a mommy’s or daddy’s boy, just because they think it’s embarrassing when in reality they are being misguided by Shaitan, and it’s not the eyes that are blind but the hearts.
As a last paragraph, if you are reading this, go and say, “I love you, Mom,” wash the dishes for her, and kiss her on the forehead or hand
