Mother with One Eye


I heard a story from my husband. He got that story from Kosovo and He told me last night before sleeping as usual. He said the story was about Islamic values.

"Baby, did u ever hear this story, very nice, about mother with one eye. Maybe u ever heard it" he started his story.

...There was a boy and his mother who had only one eye. She didn't look good. She looked scary and boy was embarrassed of her. He used to avoid her.
One time she went to his school and all children were afraid of her cause she only had one eye. The boy was very embarrassed so he didn't like her at all. He yelled at her "why did you come to school, Now all children are teasing me!".....etc
So when he grew up, he left the house and told her that he hated her. He went to Singapore (the story says that), finished studying there and got married but never wanted to see his mother only by letters. Then he had children. One day mother came to his house uninvited. Just to see her son and grand children. But When she was there, grand children were afraid and scared when saw her then started to scream. The boy was so angry and told his mother to go and never came back. Mother said, "I'm sorry son, I only wanted to see you and my grand children." She went away.

After some years, son went back home to the mothers house and sees that mother had died but left him a letter. In the letter she said, 'My son I love you so much. I remember when you were boy and you lost your eye, I didn't want to see you like that so we went to specialist to remove my eye and give it to you just to make you happy. I'm glad that i saw you and grand children and all of you are happy...."

Then my husband stops his story. He takes a breath then continues it again. He gives me one Hadist. He said: "It's finished by Hadith from our prophet when He says to love our mother and again mother and again mother and after that father..Do you remember that, Baby?"

"Yes Baby, I remember that" I said.

Then my husband read that Hadist; "A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim)."

That's a really touching story. It reminded me to my Mom... Oh Mom, May Allah Bless you always in heaven, Amin Allahumma Amin...
