reality. God has imbued the mother with immense
love for her child, and the purpose of this love is
to enable them to train their children with love
and patience, show them the right path and give
them the strength to face all odds. But most
mothers have turned their love to pampering their
children, and so have led them astray from the
nature God had intended for them.

, I met an educated Muslim.
He had a big well-furnished house, but there was
no one to live there, except for himself and his
wife. In the course of conversation, I learnt that
he had a son and a daughter, and he had given
them the best education that he could afford after
which they had gone abroad and become citizens
there. When I asked his wife whether she felt their
absence, she replied, “I am happy that they are
happy wherever they are!”
