 My Mother’s Day !

 

I Love You, Mom,

 

 Whispered Yusuf As He Wrapped The Soft Pashmina Shawl

Around His Mother’s Shoulders.

The Vibrant Peach Contrasted With The Dark Rings

 That Had Grown Under Her Eyes Lately,

But Their Brightness Had Not Faded.

 

Her Eyes Lit Up As She Stroked

The Delicate Embroidery On The Edge Of The Shawl,

 And This…Yusuf ?

 

Yusuf Looked At Her

 With The Excitement Of A Young Boy

 Unpacking His First Bicycle,

Wait  Maa..There’s More,

 

He Cried,

 As He Removed A Burgundy Jewellery Box.

Presenting it in Front Of His Mother,

Like They Were The Crown Jewels,

 

He Gingerly Lifted The Lid

To Reveal A String Of Exquisite

 Cultured Pearls Delicately Strung

Together With Small Black Pearls

 Breaking The Shimmer Of The White Pearls.

 

Yusuf !  Exclaimed His Mother,

Her Eyes Brimming, What’s All This ?

Yusuf Stepped Back And Looked At His Mother

Holding The Pearl Necklace Close To Her Chest,

Admiring it,Mom, Always Wanted A Pearl Necklace…

 

But it Must Have Cost You A Small Fortune,

 Said Saffiyah As She Held The Pearls Up To The Light,

 Studying The Delicate Changes Of Colour

 As She Turned The Necklace,

 

Why Now…What’s Special ?

 It’s My Mother’s Day !

” He Beamed. Er..,” Began Saffiyah

 As She Craned Her Neck

 To Look At The Calendar Behind Her,

But it’s Not Mother’s Day.

 

Not For A While, Yet ?

A Puzzled Look Settling On Her Face.

I Didn’t Say it Was Mother’s Day,

Replied Yusuf,

 I Said it Was MY Mother’s Day.

But Let Me Explain…

 

You Remember I Told You About Nasser

 Who Recently Moved Here From The Coast ?

Saffiyah Nodded in Acknowledgement.

 

 Last Night I Met Him At Sheikh’s Program

 And Asked Him Why He Always

 Begged Sheikh For Duas.

 I Just Found it Strange

That He Would Always insist

That Sheikh Make Dua For Him.

 

He Gave Me An Odd Reply

He Asked Me if My Mother Was Alive,

And if I Had Fifteen Minutes.

I Confirmed That I Had Both.

 

We Sat At The Back Of The Masjid

And He Told Me His Story.

Yusuf Paused To Pour Some Tea,

 Adding A Sugar To Each Cup,

Handing One To His Mother He Continued,

 

Nasser Told Me That Since His Door Of Dua (Supplication)

 Door Closed A Long Time Ago,

He Had To Seek Another Door For Dua.

 

Not Understanding,

 I Asked Him What He Meant.

 He Was Silent For A Long Time,

And I Thought Perhaps I Said Something Wrong,

But He Just Looked At Me And Smiled.

 

Wiping A Tear From His Eye He Told Me

 That His Mother Passed Away

When He Was Only Five Years Old.

 

 He Said That He Could Still Remember

The Smell Of Her Hair After She Washed it,

But Remembered Little Else.

 

Yusuf Watched His Mother Sipping Her Tea

 And Noticed Just How Wrinkled Her Hands Had Become,

The Gold Wedding Ring Still Sat Gracefully On Her Ring Finger.

She Always Took Pride in Grooming Her Nails,

Buffing Them To A Perfect Shine.

 

After Nasser’s Mother Passed Away

 He Lived in The Care Of His Aunties.

They Were Good To Him And Cared For Him

As One Of Their Own.

 

 They Bought Him What He Needed

And He Had Much Of What He Needed.

Then He Told Me You Know, Joe,

No One Can Replace The Embrace Of A Mother.

 

 And No One Can Replace The Dua ( Prayer) Of A Mother.

 I Lost That Dua A Long Time Ago.

Then I Thought Of All The Duas You Make For Me –

 How Often When I Rush Out Of The House You Always Say,Yusuf,

Slow Down, Allah Ta'ala Be With You ! 

Allah Hafiz.

 

Yusuf, May Allah Ta'ala Make Your Children

The Coolness Of Your Eye.

Maa…I Never Really Cherished Those Duas

 Until I Heard Nasser’s Story,

Said Yusuf, Dabbing His Eye With A Tissue,

I Never Knew That Those

 Were Treasures Beyond Measure.

And Then it Made Some Sense To Me

 Of What Sheikh Said When

 

He Quoted Abdulla Ibn 'Abbas ( RA ),

 If Any Muslim Obeys Allah Regarding His Parents,

Allah Will Open Two Gates Of The Garden For Him.

If There is Only One Parent,

Then One Gate Will Be Opened.

If One Of Them is Angry,

Then Allah Will Not Be Pleased With Him

 Until That Parent is Pleased With Him.

 

And When Nasser Told Me –Joe

 (As Yusuf Was Referred To By His Friends ),

You Know, I Will Never Be Able

To Call Anyone in This World Mum,

And I Will Never Know The Embrace Of A Mother.

 

You Still Have it, Joe, Value it,

Treasure it, I Realised That

 What Allah Had Favoured Me

With Was Something So Special

That I Couldn’t just Celebrate it

 Once A Year And Call it Mother’s Day.

 

I Decided That From Now

MY Mother’s Day Will Be Every Day !

–Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow

Will All Be Mother’s Day.

 

 I Can Never Repay You,

But I Know The Heart Of A Mother

 Asks For No Repayment.

 

And… if I Can Do Nothing Else For My Mother’s Day

Then I Will At Least Thank Allah

That He Allowed My Door Of Dua

To Be Open For One More Day.

 

Forgive Me Maa…Yusuf Choked,

 

“ I Need To Do So Much More For You…

Saffiyah Clasped His Hands And Stroked His Face,

You Are A Good Son, Yusuf,

 Allah Ta'ala Will Grant You

Lots Of Goodness in This World And The Next.”
