Things You Can Do For Your Mom
Often, moms do virtually all of the giving
and very little, if any, of the taking from their families. They may not say it,
but most of them want to be appreciated in small ways. You don't have to buy
them a car or a house (you could do that too), but it's the small things that
count with mom.
Here are some ideas of how you can let mom know that all
of her giving has and continues to be appreciated.
1. Give mom a
vacation
Don't think Hawaii . Think of a day away from the kitchen. Or
the home. Give her a vacation from the home where for her, most of the seemingly
endless housework is done daily. Or, if she doesn't want that, start doing your
share around the house. Maybe you could start giving her one day of the week
off, when she does no cooking or household chores. Remember, fathers and
husbands work hard at the office, but they get a two-day weekend in most cases.
Moms usually don't even get a full day off. And if they are also working
outside, it's like two full time jobs.
2. Let's hear her life story: a
mom's circle
She may have read you bedtime stories when you were small,
but now it's time for her to tell you a different story-about herself. Make a
mom's circle at home in which you ask her to tell her life story. Mom's circle
may actually turn into a project: one family member could write this up into a
report, another could make a story book out of it and a third could video/audio
record it. A mom's circle may become an ongoing family tradition.
3. Try
beating mom's cooking
While most moms ask their kids what they want to
eat, turn the tables around and do the same for her. Is there special food your
mom likes? Buy or prepare that food for her (if you are not the best of cooks,
maybe it's safer to just buy it).
4. Is your mom in a nursing
home
If your mom is in a nursing home, why not plan to bring her home for
a weekend visit to stay with you. Even better, why not make this a weekly, or
twice a month set up, so you can spend more time with her and she can be around
those who really love her more often? Of course the ultimate gift will be if you
can liberate her from that nursing home so she can stay in her room in your own
home.
5. Arrange a mammogram for her
Every three minutes, a woman
in America is diagnosed with breast cancer. That woman could be your
mom.
A woman's chances of developing breast cancer increases with age.
The National Cancer Institute recommends women age 40 and over be screened with
mammography every one to two years. It also advises that women at higher risk of
breast cancer get medical advice before they are 40 about when to begin
screening and about the frequency of their screening. Do this for your mom, so
you can see her spend the rest of her life in good health, Insha Allah (if God
wills).
6. Is your mom a bookworm?
If so, buy a small cabinet and
buy all of the books you can afford. Then take it to her home and set it up for
her.
7. If your mom is a non-Muslim
If your mom is a non-Muslim,
try fasting for a day (Nafil or extra fasting), and keep thinking and praying
for her. Ask Allah that He guides her and ask Him what you can do to help her
understand her own Creator.
8. If your relationship has not been the best
with your Mom
If your relationship with your mom has not been the best,
sit down in front of a year-long calendar or planner and mark down dates and
things which you can plan to improve this relationship. Start off by making a
formal first appointment. Then pick dates on which you can keep contact with her
and build your relationship on a regular basis.
9. If mom is not
alive
If your mom is not alive, visit her relatives and friends and ask
what you can do for them.. Consider these two Hadiths (sayings of the Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him):
1. The Messenger of Allah
said: When a person dies, his actions come to an end, except for three things: a
continuing Sadaqa (charity), knowledge from which benefit is still being
derived, and a righteous child who prays for her or him (translated meaning from
Muslim).
2. Abu Usaid Saidi said: We were once sitting with Rasulullah
when a man from the tribe of Salmah came and said to him: O Messenger of Allah!
do my parents have rights over me even after they have died? And Rasulullah
said:
Yes. You must pray to Allah to bless them with His Forgiveness and
Mercy, fulfill the promises they made to anyone, and respect their relations and
their friends (Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah).
10. Pick up her feet and spread
the word
The Prophet Muhammad said: Your Heaven lies under the feet of
your mother (Ahmad, Nasai). Ask your mom to lift her feet, so you can locate
where Jannah is. Then tell others about your discovery by sharing what Islam has
to say about moms and their importance in our lives.
