And its definitely not a multi-million or billion project.
It's simply a MEGA PROJECT! And the director or the head of the project is anyone with any of the following titles: mum / mama/ ummi/ mummy/ ibu/ mak/ amma etc..
And mind you that this project is not a choice, as long as u've got the aforementioned titles.. that's it!
You're in it! Whether you like it or not!
Regardless whether u're a doctor/ a teacher/ scientist,
whether you're a PhD holder/ a degree holder or Diploma holder,
malay. chinese, or mixed
Whoever you are
as long as you have delivered a child, then thats is
you're a shepherd! Congratulations! Seriously!
The objective of the project is simply to gain the pleasure of Allah.
The special most important task of the project is to shape a human being/ human beings for those with more than 1 child.
Its called a mega project here, because as you can see the task is difficult.
Its not a multi-million project because the benefits or reward or profit you're gonna get by accomplishing the project cannot be compared to anything in the world. Its way way bigger, grand and most importantly... its permanent!
As mentioned in a hadith:
Hadhrat Mu'aaz Juhani (RadiAllahu'anhu) reports tha Rasulullah Sallahu'alayhiwasallam said:
Whoever reads the Qur'an and acts upon what is contained in it, his parents will be made to wear a crown on the Day of Judgement, the brilliance of which will excel that of the sun, if the same were within your worldly houses. So, what do you think about the person who himself acts upon it?
In another narration, it was said that: One who recites the Qur'an and acts upon it will be made to wear a crown woven with noor, and his parents will be made to wear garments which will be more valuable than the entire world. They will say; Almighty Allah! what is it that we are given these garments for? In lieu of the reading of Qur'an by your child, will be the reply.
Also, it is given in Jam'ul Fawaa'id by Tabrani (rahmatullah alaih) that Hadhrat Anas had reported the saying of Rasulullah:
Whoever teaches the reading of Qur'an to his son (without memorizing it), all his sins whether previous or subsequent, will be forgiven; and whoever makes his child memorize the Qur'an will be raised in the Day of Judgement in the ssemblance of a full moon; and his son will be asked to start reciting, and for everyayat read by the child, the status of the parent will be raised to the next higher grade of Jannat, till the recitation of the Holy Qur'an is completed.
AllahuAkbar! If we are still in doubt whether or not to at least try make our children hafeez after having read all the hadeeth above, then we definitely need to question the state of our iman!
Allah, give us true iman, ya Allah!
Problem with us is that most of the time we fail to realize that this is truly a mega project thus we tend to ignore it or take it lightly.
As much as we'd like to handle our big projects in the field we're working in, ourselves or with the help of someone better, we should also regard the same for this project. Even more for this mega project cause failure to do so will cause us a great punishment in the HereAfter.
Unfortunately, many people today is happy to just leave their mega projects in the hands of maids, or daycares. Am not saying that we cant go out and achieve our aim in our careers but the point is we have to realize that by doing so, we are actually putting our mega projects at risk!
So we have to minimize this risk if we can't get rid of it totally.
Believe me.. insyaAllah, do it for Allah, whatever you sacrifice for His pleasure..
its gonna be worth it!Dear mothers, these kids are great gifts and responsibilities from Allah.
Lets put all our effort to shape them up the way Allah wants it.
Of course, no one can promise that all of them will turn out the way we want them to but have full confidence that Allah is the Most Just, and Allah Knows whether or not you've done you're part.
Naudhubilllah, we have enough sins in our account, we dont want because of our negligence, our own kids, whom we used to call the apple of our eyes, on the Day of Resurrection.. they would come to us asking for their unfulfilled rights! AllahuAkbar! save us all from this great calamity!
Amin...
