Appreciate your mom.

It was an emotional moment for me after witnessing a normal delivery today during my O&G rotation. The pain and struggle the mother went through from the first stage of labour was unbearable to see. Feeling unease at the side of the bed, not knowing what to do or help her, I just prayed in my heart that the mother will deliver her baby safely and that her child is healthy and safe.

At 11.30 am, it was 4cm. then after a few pressure pain the mother complaint of, and a few pushing assisted by the midwives, she finally delivered a healthy baby boy at 12.30 pm.. And the look from her face and her husband is priceless. they both cried of joy and relief.

"Dan Kami wajibkan manusia berbuat baik kepada kedua ibu bapanya; ibunya telah mengandungnya dengan menanggung kelemahan demi kelemahan (dari awal mengandung hingga akhir menyusunya), dan tempoh menceraikan susunya ialah dalam masa dua tahun; (dengan yang demikian) bersyukurlah kepadaKu dan kepada kedua ibubapamu; dan (ingatlah), kepada Akulah jua tempat kembali (untuk menerima balasan)." Surah Luqman:14

"And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination."Surah Luqman:14

In my mind at the moment was my mother. sobs2..Always be grateful and appreciate your mother and be a good daughter or son to them. like  Nouman Ali Khan said in his tafsir Surah Luqman video: gratefulness and humility comes together. to be grateful to Allah and also people around you is an act of kindness. May we become the people of Alhamdulillah.

"Dan sesungguhnya Kami telah memberi kepada Luqman, hikmat kebijaksanaan, (serta Kami perintahkan kepadanya): Bersyukurlah kepada Allah (akan segala nikmatNya kepadamu)". Dan sesiapa yang bersyukur maka faedahnya itu hanyalah terpulang kepada dirinya sendiri, dan sesiapa yang tidak bersyukur (maka tidaklah menjadi hal kepada Allah), kerana sesungguhnya Allah Maha Kaya, lagi Maha Terpuji."Surah Luqman;12
