A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: $.50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he’d written on, and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me:
No Charge
For all the nights that I’ve sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:
No Charge
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years:
No Charge
For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:
No Charge
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:
No Charge
Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:
No Charge.
When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, “Mom, I sure do love you.” And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: “PAID IN FULL”.
Lessons:
You will never how much your parents worth till you become a parent
Be a giver not an asker, especially with your parents. there is a lot to give, besides money.
Advice: If your mom is alive and close to you, give her a big kiss and ask her for forgiveness. If she is far away, call her. if she passed away, pray for her.
first: thank you very much Sara, please be notfied that with proud the tears went down freely
second: the mother is a mass of love, kindness, Care consideration Compassion worry tenderness softness compassion …..etc, but I hope that the people get that in their head before it is too late; show her love appreciation, concern….

SubhanAllah
Thank you very much Sara, really it is heart touching story for all of us.
Thanks again and God bless you dear.
Sara, you forgot to mention the most important thing the mother went through in giving birth to the baby. The labour period, which sometimes takes over ten hours, is so painful that it cannot be described. It has been said in a hadeeth that once a man went to the Prophet Muhammad ur Rasoolullah and narrating how he took his mother on his back all the way to Makkah, performed all the rituals, Tawaaf of Al Kaaba, doing Saee(running between to hills namely Safaa and Marwa, going to Mina, Arsafaat, Muzdalifah, back to Mina for stoning the jamaraat, slaughtering an animal and back to Makkah for Tawaaf e ziyaarat and to Mina again stoning the jamaraat for two more days and returning to Makkah for Tawaaf ul Widaa and returning home, all done on foot, he asked if he had repaid his mother’s rights upon him. The prophet of Allah said: Having done all that you have not yet repaid even for the labour pain your mother went through before giving birth to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

A Mother would do everything possible for the comfort and happiness of her kids even to her own discomfort,great indeed,this shows the milk of kindness that flows in REAL MOTHERS.
Rightly said folshade.
It is already said and all words are used for Mother, and only think is left for me are few drops of water in eyes. May ALLAH bless all those who Al Hamdolillah have their Parents live to sit in their steps specially mogther;s and those unfortunately lost mother, must follow the teachings of Islam to serve them or her which are; follow their good things, Dua-e-Mughfarat (pray) for them, pay/return if any loan on their part or return amana, sadaka khairat, visit grayyard where they are burried and offer FATEH, Meet/love and help their relatives and respect their friends, follow their instructions if given while live etc.etc.
In a family
The mother gets the Gold Medal
The Silver Medal and the Bronz Medal the father gets only a conselation prize
Thank you Sara,
Such a fantastic & very deep message for every one..
*That’s why 3 times mother status is higher then the father* according to Hadees
When we become parents, we really understand What are parents
That is really sweet. We cant pay our parents for what they have done for us.
Thanks Sara
Thanks Singh.
You cannot pay your parents and those who maltreat them will not have a good end
Rightly said Mawashi.
ooh I luv your stories Sara they are very inspirational and yes indeed mothers love is very powerful unfortunately i lost my mom but i always love her
Astaghufirula Wala Hawla Wa la Quwata iIabillah! I would never write a note
like that to my mum!
if i would write one it will be:
Mum I love u from the bottom of my heart and will never
forget u and you will never stop loving u!
OUR PARADISE IS UNDER OUR MOTHERS FEET!
Dear sarah,

Big Thank you

Yes, Qazi Azhr the west should have a rethink in the way they treat thier parents,when the parents are old. That’s unthinkable,especially for the muslim, who’s ordered to respect his mum three times more than his dad. That’s the position of the mum in Islam.
I belong to an Asian country. We respect our mother three times more than our father. I cannot dare to handover that paper to my mother. On top our religion teaches that the Paradise is under feet of your mother.
My Allaah reward them with JANNATUL FIDDAUSI, Allaahumma amin.
THAT’S WHY ALLAH O TAALA – PLACED PARADISE BENEATH THE FEET OF MOTHER – LOVE U MUMMY – THANKS FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFULL MOTHER . YOU ARE EVERY THING FOR ME IN THIS LIFE – MAY ALLAH PARDON ME IF I HAVE HURT U .
Mothers stand just like a sheild for her childrens and protect all the worries of her childrens. cannot find words to express what is the love of a mother .

YA Allah my mum my everything.I love you mum&you are forever my inspiration
Always love your parents and never hurt their feelings when they get older. Take care of them as much as you can otherwise you will be paid with interest by your children.
may Allah bless us
Ohh a very touchin story ya its true more than father we should love our mother
What about loving your father ?
What about loving your father ?

Outstanding stories, butifull teaching about how much parents are dear and respected… many many thanks to ISLAM through which we learnd the stage of Parents in particular……
very nice, I loved and started tell my friend about it.
very very nice and smart reply from mother and very smart reply from her gratfull kid
thanks so much 4 this emotional story
Invites the attention of West where old homes are opened for parents. The west should review its attitude towards the old parents in general and mothers in particular.
Thanks for sending beautiful and spiritial stories, but don’t you think that a god should be very distigueshed and not similar to any of creatures?
PARADISE UNDER THE MOTHERS FEET
