YOU MAY NOT ......BUT You may not have your finger on today’s political pulse, But you know with one glance when your child’s got fever, You may not take up arms in the cause of holy jihad, But when teaching your children their dua’s you drill like the best of military sergeants, ... You may not know the current economic climate boom time or recession, But you make the best nourishing meals with whatever rizq Allah has decreed, You may not know complicated laws of the country, But you make sure your children know right from wrong, You may not move in elite circles Of high society, But your children are taught manners, respect and correct Islamic etiquette, You may not be at the forefront of technology, discovery or even philosophy, But the Quran and Sunnah are sufficient guide added to your common sense and practicality, You may not be at the height of fashion, But modesty and simplicity becomes you Quite comfortably, And your family is clothed respectably, Your role is clearly defined, Doubly refined, Not merely to cook and clean, Or even to earn a living, But to nurture tomorrow’s ummah, No small feat No wonder Jannah lies beneath your feet HIT SHARE/TAG
