Agree or Disagree: Akash is a braggart

I seek refuge in Allah, from the accursed Shaytaan.

And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents.

If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.

And lower unto them the wings of submission and humility through mercy and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when i was small."

And say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when i was small."

Your Lord knows best what is in your inner-selves. If you are righteous, then, verily, He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn unto Him again and again in obedience, and in repentance.

A heart rendering story of a mother and her son. For those who would take heed.

My mum only had one eye, i hated her, she was such an embarrassment!

She cooked for teachers and students to support the family

There was one day during primary school where she came to say hello to me

I was so embarrassed, how could she do this to me!

I ignored her, threw a hateful look and ran out

The next day one of my class mates said "Eeww, your mum only has one eye!"

I wanted to bury myself, i also wanted my mum to disappear

So i confronted her and said, "If you're only going to make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die!"

My mum 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

So i studied really hard and got a chance to go to Singapore

Then i got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own and i was happy with my life

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

I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children! Get out fo here now!

And to this my mother quietly answered, "Oh, i'm sorry i may have gotten the wrong address."

One day a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house

So i lied to my wife that i was going on a business trip

After the reunion i went to the old shack just out of curiosity

My neighbours said that she died

I did not shed a single tear

They handed me a letter she wanted me to have


To the smile of my life

My dearest son i think of you all of the time

I'm sorry that i came to Singapore and scared your children

I was so glad when i heard you were coming for the reunion

But i may not be able to even get out of bed to see you

I'm sorry i was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up

You see... when you were little, you got into an accident and lost your eye

As a mother i could not stand watching you having to grow up with one eye

So i gave you mine

Seeing a whole new world for me in my place with that eye

With my love to you

Your Mother

A Small Verse From The Quran
We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents; in pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth

Quran, Surah 46 Al Ahqaaf Verse 15

What Did You Make Of It?
After you read this, what did you think about it?

After i read it, i had tears coming out of my eyes. It is a sad story and it may be reality.
