A GOOD MUSLIM MOTHER

When she is pregnant,
A Muslim woman is different.
 
   She reads the Qur'an often,
   “Grant me a salih child; Amen.”

She prays to Allah, our Lord;
And waits for a good reward.
 
   When the baby is born,
   It is like a beautiful morn.

She forgets all her pain,
And gives him a good name.
 
   After the Adhan in his ear,
   The baby’s life is in gear.

A nurse, a teacher and a guide,
She is always by his side.
 
   She teaches him the Qur'an,
   And fills his heart with Iman.

She sings, she reads him stories,
Of the prophets and the sahabis.
 
   A good Muslim mother is blessed;
   Because the Holy Prophet has said,

“Paradise is under her feet.”
Her du'a makes our life so sweet.

 
--- Zaki Ahmad Sabih
