STORY -- THE MOTHER Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother. The first said, "I built a big house for our mother." The second said, "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." The third smiled and said, "I've got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed reading her novel? And you know s he can't see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire novel. It took the author in the industry 12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind. Mama just has to name the chapter and page, and the parrot recites it." Soon thereafter, mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Mohammad" she wrote one son, "The house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house." "Yusuf," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!" "Dearest Ahmad," she wrote to her third son, "You have the good sense to know what your mother likes...The chicken was delicious. Remember worldly goods isnt the thing which brings true happiness Oh ALLAH allow us to look after our Mothers in their old age through which is our entrance to Jannah. Oh ALLAH grant our Mothers the highest ranks of Jannah, Aameen SHARE
