PARENTS

The most consecrated and the dearest among creatures are parents. They illuminate our world with their presence. However, not everyone can feel it. It hurts to hear and see in social media that some people bully the ones who sacrificed their own lives for their children.
Before judging our parents we should think about the hard times they face because of us. How many sleepless nights and days have they spent so far, how much mess do they have to clean and how many hours they cook for us?
Every parent's life is a big story to be told. You might think that I'm not old enough to talk about parenthood but I cannot help questioning myself: " Why can't we love and respect the people who always love and adore us. If a stranger helps you or spends a sleepless night for you once you feel very grateful and every time you see them you know that you owe them.
What about our parents? Do we really appreciate them for the things they have done for us? Have you ever said your father that you don't want to do the chores because it's difficult to do? However he never says no to your needs even if he cannot effort. Can you imagine carrying a heavy object in your stomach up to 9 months? Can you stand the pain of long hours labour?It's because of mothers' love. I heard a story describing one mother's sacrifice for her child.
Once there was a boy who lied a lot. He used to spread gossip and falsehood around the country. As soon as the king became aware of that he sentenced the boy to death with his mother as a punishment.  Before executing them it was told to hit them 1000 times on the back. When the guardians were hitting the mother she didn't say a word
But when it was the boy's turn she burst into tears and shouted to protect her son. Watching that scene the king became very impressed and asked a mother the reason for her attitude. " Your cudgel hit my body and I felt it's pain but I could not allow the same would happen with my son. I have stamina to bear that pain of my body but I cannot stand for the pain in my heart. He is a part of my soul even if he is not a decent man." - answered the woman. The heartwarming words touched the king's heart and released both the boy and the mother.
I feel like parents are our guardian angels sent for us. May Allah always bless them.
