Allah knows the gut-wrenching pain a mother has to go through to protect, sacrifice her own desires, and raise her child. That's why He treats them a certain way like no other. He comforts and instructs them to have faith in Him. If we look through the Quran, Allah talks in a motivational and comforting tone when dealing with mothers. Whether it's the mother of Maryam (AS) and her desire to supplicate her child in the service of Allah... ...or it's about Maryam (AS) when she was blessed with the news of being granted a son as a prophet... ...or when Allah comforted the distressed mother of Musa (AS) by ensuring he was fed by her, even when he was raised in the house of an enemy. Islam also encourages balance and moderation in every aspect of life and mothers taking some time off… …won’t make them selfish, but it gears them up with more strength to provide the right environment for their children. A mom goes through challenging moments, sleepless nights, and tiring schedules... Just because she envisions her child to be the best of both worlds, grow into a resilient Muslim, and be a source of Sadaqa Jariyah.
