A MOTHER, AN UNDERMINED INDISPENSABLE AGENT OF DEVELOPMENT.

The mothers have been ridiculed and their contributions undermined and left to go unnoticed and unappreciated. Being a mother has been seen as a worthless duty. Now, nobody wants to be a mother. No! I don’t mean nobody wants to be called mummy but nobody wants to be a Mother. You would want to wonder ‘what is the difference between being a Mother and a Mummy?’ Many of what we have today are mummies while that which we used to have time past were mothers. A mummy could be just a mother figure (someone to stand as a mother) while a mother is a woman that has lived up to the expectations of being a mother. Mother, an indispensable agent of development I call them but how? Take a look at the some of the youths and individuals in our society, the disoriented ones, in most cases you will find that these are youths who have lacked motherly care. Though they had mummies, they had no mother. They had no one to train them, instill proper discipline in them, teach them good etiquette, tra...

GENDER EQUALITY AS A BONE OF CONTENTION BETWEEN BOTH GENDERS

This topic for an argument is as null and void, in my opinion, as some other topics that we would debate over in school examples of which includes ‘boys are better than girls’, ‘farmers are better and doctors’, etc. In an argument like ‘farmers are better than doctors’, what differentiation are we trying to make between the farmers and the doctors? With what do we intend to raise the status of the farmers over the doctors?

Both personalities are needed and we really can’t do with just one of them without the other- the doctors to cater for our health and the farmer to help in producing food for the increasing population alongside other civic duties. Similarly, both genders have their role to play in societal, national and global development. However, some of these roles ar...

SO WHAT IF EVERBODY LOVES YOU?

And what will you benefit from the love of people if Allah(subhanok) doesn’t love you? nothing, except for fame, wealth and other things that starts and ends in this duniya but in the end you will have to face Allah(s.w.t) and be at His mercy. You are striving and struggling to be in the face of everbody, you want to be known by everbody without caring 'for what'. You are fighting for a spot in this duniya and cares not for a spot with Allah(s.w.t). How strange that a person grabs so tightly on this duniya for which he has no guarantee over? Know you not that you attain true success when you earn the pleasure of the one from whom you came and to who you shall return. His(subhanok) love is worth more than money or material things can express.
