We are tiny are we not, in our mothers’ stomachs? No more than a single drop of blood . Allah reminds us of this, of how small, insignificant and utterly helpless we are in those earliest stages of our lives
Then our mothers carry us with great difficulty for nine months and birth us with great difficulty too, with pain, and with risk to their own lives and our fathers, they spend their hard-earned money on us
Which is their responsibility, that what they spend on their families is earned justly and fairly and alongside this the pressure that it be enough to provide for everyone
To sustain our mother and everyone else in the household that they are responsible for and all fairly earned too and when we are born, we arrive in the world crying and screaming. Have you ever seen a new-born?
Have you ever wondered why they cry the way they do?
Have you ever thought why? Why just as they enter the world they are crying so, so much?
Maybe it’s why they wrote that song in India
‘We all come crying into the world’
‘But whoever leaves smiling and laughing’
‘They are the victors, the special ones’
So, whoever, at the end of their lives and as they leave this world, is contented and grateful, they have succeeded.
