A new Muslim and his mother
The following is a touching story about a
new Muslim and his mother. Before he was a Muslim, he lived with his
mother until he was about 18 years old. Then he moved out of his home
and lived in a different place on his own. During those days, he met
some Muslims and became a very close friend of them. Eventually he
himself became a Muslim after learning about the beautiful religion of
Islam from them. He made an effort every day to learn more and more
about Islam. One day, he came to learn about the benefits of being good
to one's parents. He learned that a person who looks at his parents with
the eyes of obedience gets the reward of one accepted Hajj! (The reward
is mentioned in an authentic hadith of Sahih Muslim). After knowing
this, he decided to visit his mother whom he did not visit for many
years. He bought some flowers and fruits for her on his way. His mother
was very pleased to see him after so long. He started spending lots of
time with his mother on a regular basis. During his visits, he would
stare at his mother and tears would roll down from his eyes. The mother
noticed this happening many times and asked him one day the reason why
he visits her so much all of a sudden and why he cries. He told her
about how he became a Muslim and that the position of a mother in Islam
is very high. He also told her about the reward he gets for looking at
her. But while looking at her, he cries because the mother is not a
Muslim and would not be able to save herself if she dies in this state.
The mother immediately recognized the beauty of Islam and became a
Muslim.
