Opinion | Relevance of Mothers’ Day!

Motherhood is a marvel and mothers are blessings in their purest form. A mother can never be defined by anyone but still if I would try to elaborate the name mother only it makes Miracles of The Heavenly Resource. A mother is like god for a child. She would happily lay down her life for her child. Hence, with the elaboration of the letters that make the word mother reveal that how precious mother is, and so we all are well aware about how to keep and maintain our precious assets/things. A mother is delight that is available all time at our homes. She is a care taker and caterer who stays always on toes. A mother makes the four walls of a building a pleasant place to live which we then call a home. Like A.P.J. Abul Kalam Azad who was the former president of INDIA, the most popular author, one of most the influential philosophers, researchers and scientists of the country, has rightly said that “If there is a happy mother, there is a happy home. If there is a happy home, there is a happy society. And if there is a happy society, there is a happy nation. Hence, it is crystal clear by these lines that how important a happy mother is for a happy and youthful nation.

“Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed”
The whole world has been celebrating Mother’s Day on 14th of May 2023 (Sunday) and family day on 15th day of MAY 2023 which was  absolutely wonderful to know. But let’s think for a while that is there even a day that is spend well or completed without a mother or is there a family that could be integrated without a mother.  Mothers are the first and the only strongest connection that stays with us forever.  As it is said that – “Kehtey yeh din to maa ka din hota hai; Hazoor yeh bi bolein ki konsa din maa k bin hota hai”
Mothers have a sixth sense about their kids because of their strong connection with their child, be that genetically, emotionally and by virtue of carrying the child in their womb for nine months. Adopted mothers can also feel this connection on a soul level, and their intuition can can reach out to save their children too. Mothers often show up in dreams because of being so important in our lives. They are often associated with miracles because their guidance travels far and will help their children in the midst of any challenges in life.
“A mother’s love is the fuel that enables a normal being to the impossible”
One important reason God would use mothers in our dreams and visions is because most of us believe strongly in their great love for us. We trust that they selflessly care for us and have our best interests at heart.
Therefore, to honor the love and appreciate their presence in our lives, we have come to dedicate one specific day to mothers across globe. Usually, the second Sunday of the month of May is marked as Mother’s Day across the globe.
Although it is a truth that that there is no joy and peace in a family without a mother, yet there are houses which have abandoned mothers, which have sad and deprived mothers. There are houses where mothers yearn to speak to their children, spend time with them, ask them to fulfill any of their need and there are houses where mothers are considered robots to work 24*7 without any right, duty or emotion. To acknowledge which and realize which the Mother’s Day is celebrated every year. Mother’s days are not meant to just hold up a phone and take a selfie with one’s mother. Neither it is meant to wish one’s mother a HAPPY MOTHERS DAY once a year but it is celebrated to spread awareness and education about the importance of a mother. It is meant to celebrate to redirect the youth who have gone astray and have sunken in the materialism and so-called modernization due to which they are not able to spend time or see their mother’s. Islam has given mothers the highest regards and directed children to take care of their mothers there lies the paradise underneath the feet of the mothers.
Hence, we all must cherish our mothers, love them and live a happy life with them. Mothers are a blessing that everyone is not blessed to live with. We must make mother’s day a platform to educate children and youth about their duties towards mothers and make them acquainted with the awareness about their importance.
Someone has eloquently said “Jaise jism mein jaan hoti hai, Waise ek bachey k liye maa hoti hai
Ghar to banta hai char dewaariyoun se, Lekin maa hi bas uss ghar ki shaan hoti hai”
