what i gave my mother for mother’s day.
My parents live with me and i take care of my parents like any dutiful son would. At my place its mother’s day everyday. At my place its father’s day everyday. I do more for my parents everyday than what any of you media driven corporate hyped kids think of doing only ONE day in the whole firetrucking year.
So please. Stop trying to make me dig deeper in my pockets and spend on this day just so Hallmark’s stock can go up.
Thankyou.

exactly my thoughts. lakin koi sunta hi nahin 
Re: Please dont ask me
you know i have to say that YOUR parents do as much or MORE for you than you do for them. But when its YOUR birthday, they do all kinds of special things for YOU. Do they worry about how they're putting money into "hallmark"? I think not. So when its a special day for your mom, if you find it so distatsteful to spend 2 bux on a card, MAKE ONE, she'd like that better anyway. Make her a nice omelet and tell her to enjoy and then go have a nice nap or get her nails done because you'll make dinner too.
Re: Please dont ask me
my parents dont know what hallmark IS. they dont understand designer either. 
kher kher. cheeghum, rrriiight on homie. everyday really is for ur parents, cuz the quran tells us so - to be dutiful and obediant kids and stuff.
Re: Please dont ask me
I'm not saying what i do for them can ever be more than what theyve done for me. But i dont need a given day to show my appreciation for what theyve done for me. I show my appreciation to them every day that i live.
I do that every day of the year, mamaof3. Not because i'm trying to be a good son or something but because thats the duty of every child!!!!!! Majority (with some exceptions) of kids in the western world hardly give a rats ass about their parents, so they need to be reminded to do something for their parents.
Most canadians that i know who have parents my parents' age have to go visit their parents at a retirement home every sunday. They cant be bothered to have their parents live with them because theyre not willing to sacrifice their lifestyles to take care of their old parents. Mother's day is for these people.

^ Cheegum, thanks i don tfeel guilty for not giving ammi jee:teary1: n e thin xcept “happy mothers day”
I will admit I dont do as much as I should, but I do appreciate and love my mom..and I dont think its right to put down those who are already gud, respectful sons likegive flowers or something special, a lil xtra.. Many ppl love their moms but the defintiion of being a “good son” just differs in this culture versus ours..
If theres one thing I like about paki culture 
its th love towards parents n grandparents n the closeness.. 
Re: Please dont ask me
In the time of Rasoolulah:saw: a man took his mother on his back and did the Tawaaf [circumambalation] of the Ka’abah during Umrah. Then he asked the prophet:saw: if he had fulfilled the rights of his mother?
Rasoolulah:saw: replied: Not for even a SINGLE birth pain that she had while giving birth to you.
Do we know that Quran categorically puts Mother to have the most rights on us after Allah:swt: and Rasool:saw:??
Mother’s day seems NOTHING to what Islam has commanded us to follow.
Re: Please dont ask me
AQ - thanks for sharing that..its one of my favorite hadith! 
we never can really pay up our mums for all they’ve done for us.
Re: Please dont ask me
Now this is what I was looking for…thank U bro
Cheegum - Thank U for this post because it will enlighten quite a few souls around here.
Re: Please dont ask me
So much, that according to Islamic Law...if a person is praying, and his moms calls him, he is allowed to break his Salaah and attend his mother.
What people like Mamaof3 dont understand is that a good majority of us do not suscribe to Western Culture, festivals and values.
These are your festivals, you celebrate them...because your parents desperatetly need something like this, because of the type of treatment you give them.
Re: Please dont ask me
Really ??? 
I cant just cough to let her know I"m readin g namaz ?
Re: Please dont ask me

OUCH!
Re: Please dont ask me
Nope… You are ordered to break the salah… if you do not, your prayer will be nullified anyway and you will get sinned for not repsonding to your mother.
Re: Please dont ask me
Good Thread Cheegi :k: exactly what my dad was saying to us today!
Re: Please dont ask me
Yeah for us mothers and fathers day is everyday.
These western kids think if they treat their parents right once a year they have fulfilled their duty but for us as Muslims we have to love, obey and look after our parents all year round. These morons tell their parents to mind their own business when they tell them right from wrong and when they get old and weak they dump them in a old geezers home to die because 1. they are selfishly lazy 2. they love and obey their biatch of a gf/wife more than they do their parents and she wont let them.
We don't need these empty traditions, did you know mothers day originates from an ancient greek pagan festival? the mother dieities were worsshipped on this day so later some American guy made it an official holiday in America.

Re: Please dont ask me
Although much of what you said is true but I still don't see the harm of getting up early one morning to tell your mother that you love her. Whoever said you need cards and lavish dinners to show your love? I know a kiss and hug would do more for my mother.
Re: Please dont ask me
Love is better expressed with action rather than words. But dont take my word for it, go read King Lear by Shakespeare.
I kiss and hug my mother every morning *anyway. *Mother's day or not. So should all the rest of us. No wait.. that makes us all mama's boys right?
Re: Please dont ask me
Yes it does :p Your mom is lucky though. But the point is, just because the westerners celebrate mothers day, it doesn't have to be 'wrong'. Any mother would appreciate an extra effort from their children no matter the occasion. I just don't see why people have to be so paranoid about THE Mothers day.
