My
mom only had one eye. I hated her...She was such an embarrassment.
She cooked for students and
teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary
school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. How could
she do this to me. I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school one of my
classmates said, “EEEE, your mom only has one eye.!!” I wanted to
bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear.
So I confronted her that day and
said,
“If you're only gonna make me a
laughing stock, why don't you just die?!!!"
My mom did not respond...
I didn't even stop to think for a second
about what I had said, because I was full of anger.
I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have
nothing to do with her.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go
to Singapore to study.
Then, I got married. I bought a house
of my own.
I had kids of my own. I was
happy with my life, my kids and the comforts.
Then one day, my mother came to
visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her
grandchildren. When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and
I yelled at her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her,
"How dare you come to my
house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW !!!"
And to this, my mother quietly answered,
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have
gotten the wrong address,"
and she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school
reunion came to my house in Singapore.
So I lied to my wife that I was
going on a business trip.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack
which was my childhood home just out of curiosity. M
y neighbours said that she has passed
away.
I did not shed a single tear. They handed
me a letter that she had wanted me to have. "
What
Islam Taught about Parents;
1. 1)Dan kami wajibkan manusia berbuat baik kepada kedua ibu bapanya; ibunya
telah mengandungnya dengan menanggung kelemahan demi kelemahan ( dari awal
mengandung hingga akhir menyusunya), dan tempoh menceraikan susunya ialah dalam
masa 2 tahun; (dengan yang demikian) bersyukurlah kepadaKu dan kepada kedua ibu
bapamu; dan (ingatlah), kepada Aku lah jua tempat kembali (untuk menerima
balasan)
Surah Luqman: 14]
Surah Luqman: 14]
2. “ 2)Dan Kami wajibkan manusia berbuat baik kepada kedua
ibubapanya : ibunya telah mengandungnya dengan menanggung susah payah dan telah
melahirkannya dengan menanggung susah payah”.[ Surah Al-Ahqaf : 15 ]
3. “ 3)Syurga terletak di bawah telapak kaki Ibu’”[ HR Al-Bukhari & Muslim ]
