Happy Mothering!

The Babies

Allah has created a specific role for women as part of His mercy. Allah's Messenger (bpuh) said: Allah created, on the same day when He created the heavens and the earth, one hundred parts of mercy. Every part of mercy is analogous to the space between the heavens and the earth, and He, out of this mercy, endowed one part to the earth, and it is because of this that the mother shows affection to her child. For this purpose, Allah has conferred upon women the unique qualities and characteristics necessary for effectual fulfillment of this role. Women tend to be more nurturing, compassionate, sensitive, and patient: all qualities needed to create a warm, loving, and peaceful atmosphere within the home. - Nurturing Eeman in Children by Dr Aisha Hamdan.
