Daughterhood

Allah, the Glorious, says in the Qur'aan,
The Long Journey a Mother Takes with Her Children

Those of you who still have your mothers with you, this is something to ponder and to witness as your life unfolds. Those of you who, no longer have your mothers with you, this may be something that sparks a memory for you. Those of you who are mothers, this is something for you to think about as you move through life with your children.

Whenever people would come from Yemen, Umar, the Companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) would ask them, “Is Uways Al-Qaranee amongst you? Until, one year, he met Uways.
