What’s So Great About Your Mum?

Salaam

This thread will be a sort of tribute to mothers…an appreciation thread.

Mothers do SO much….one only realises their value when they go away for a bit and the house seems so unbelievably empty.

Everyone thinks that their mum is the best mum in the world; use this thread to explain why YOU think your mum is so fantastic…..(this is NOT a competition).

Why do I think my mum is so fantastic?

Cos she’s on a level…..cos she is extremely calm, tolerant and forbearing by nature….cos she’s very polite….cos she goes out of her way to help others and be there for them in time of need……characteristics I really admire in a person.

I consider her my friend, which is why I go out of my way to tell her what I did during the day….I keep her updated about everything……(I even fill her in regarding the latest discussion on the forum!)….I talk to her when I’m upset, when I’m angry and when I’m happy, cos she has a logical way of looking at stuff.

I rate how active she is….every Tuesday she goes a delivers an Islamic speech in someone’s house….every Thursdays she holds an Islamic circle in her house and delivers a speech….every Mondays she goes to learn Arabic Tajweed/Tafsir….as well as cleaning the house and cooking for her family daily….and she keeps on top of stuff despite the fact that she was registered blind 10 years ago….she never lets her disability hold her back…and never have I seen her get upset or frustrated because of it….cos she don’t feel it, we don’t feel it either….

I rate how active she becomes in Ramadan…the way she’s so awake and chirpy at Sehri time…. she cooks different stuff for all of us ….its missions dragging my dad and brother out of bed but she’ll still go up the stairs numerous times to call them up…..whilst the rest of us are like zombies….if I ever become half the woman she is, I’ll consider myself very fortunate.

So use this thread to discuss what makes your mum so special…..

State what type of characteristics a great mum SHOULD possess?

Is it true that they don’t make mums the way they used to?

Because our upbringing greatly differs to our parent’s upbringing inevitably we’ll be different parents…Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
