Motherhood Changed Me Altogether My journey so far as a mother is compelling me to write a few words about the strongest bond ever named ‘’MOTHERHOOD’’. Well going back to my past, when I was about to get married even I had dreamt a lot about being a mother but then I think I was too un matured because for me it was just an emotional feeling mixed with joy, pain of labour, making your husband a proud father and getting a new doll to play with. I never realized how big a responsibility Motherhood is until I really did experience. I guess it’s somewhat same for all young mothers. My daughter is just 2, I know all mothers reading are thinking it’s not yet time for me to write about it. But trust me I have changed a lot and I want to share the feeling with all mothers and mothers to be. Before being a mother of course were all so independent, we have time for household works, for browsing, for home facials, for chatting, for prayers and Quran, for shopping’s, for gatherings etc, etc.. The first day as a mother I realized this is no doll nor just a cute feeling…The baby in my arms is the biggest blessing I have ever received, and it’s my responsibility to bring her up as a good human being and obedient Muslimah. The most challenging task for every parent. Motherhood really did change me; it made me more patient, more affectionate, more loving, more understanding and far more humble. The greatest achievement was I realized the pain my parents must have gone through bringing me up. Now I don’t know how I spend my time before my sweetheart was born. Alhamdulillah… Sometimes I feel I’m being ungrateful when I keep complaining that I don’t get time for myself, I’m getting too tired, I want to sleep properly for one night, I want to eat without botheration.. Yes I am being Ungrateful for I forget at times that all these are a part of the blessing which i should not complain about. May Allah forgive me and all others for some words we would have used unknowingly… I sometimes imagine the state of mothers with mentally disabled kids, or babies with heart problems, or a handicapped child...Every time you look into your kids eyes you will feel the pain.. Ya Allah give patience to all such mothers and bless every woman with a healthy baby. And We ordained upon man concerning his parents; his mother bore him enduring weakness upon weakness, and his suckling is up to two years - therefore be thankful to Me and to your parents; finally towards Me is the return. (31:14) This Quranic verse is a proof for mankind about the hardship a mother undergoes in bringing up her child. Quran warns us to be grateful to our parents and Allah reminds us that we all return to him and will be questioned about out acts. Although my girl messes the whole house, take hours to eat, scares me with her naughty tricks, embarrass me in front of people Still…. When her tiny arms are around my neck the innocent love makes my day, when her tender lips touches my cheeks I forget all my worries, When she cries I lose concentration, when she is about to fall my heart skips a beat, when she’s hurt i feel the pain, when she doesn’t eat it keeps me worrying the whole day, the sound of her giggle keeps me lively, when she is happy I simply feel good and finally when she sleeps for long I really really get bored. SubhanAllah, for the love and mercy Allah induced in the hearts of mothers… All mothers reading this lets make sure we never utter any word against the blessing and make sure we bring up our kids in the right way not just loving them but being a living example for them. Kids may not learn what we teach them but for sure they will grasp everything we do. May Allah (subhana wata ala) bless all mothers with patience, understanding and kids who will love them always
