Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah 

As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu 

I ran into a stranger as she passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply. She said, "Please excuse me too; I wasnt watching for you." 

We were very polite, this stranger and I. 

We went on our way and we said goodbye. 

But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still. 

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. "Move out of the way," I said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. I didnt realize how harshly I had spoken. 

While I lay awake in bed, a still small voice came to me and said, "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You will find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes. 

" By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed; 

"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said. 

"Are these the flowers you picked for me?" 

He smiled, "I found them out by the tree. I picked them because they are pretty like you. I knew you would like them, especially the blue." 

I said, "Son, I am very sorry for the way I acted today; I should not have yelled at you that way." 

He said, "Oh, Mom, thats okay. I love you anyway." 

I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue." 

"The Messenger of Allah (Sallahu Alaihee Wasallam) kissed Hasan bin Alee and Al-Aqra bin Haabis sitting with him. 

So Al-Aqra said: 

"Indeed I have 10 children and I have not kissed any of them." 

So the Messenger of Allah[pbuh]looked at him and said: 

"Whoever does not have mercy, would not be given any mercy." [Hadith, narrated by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim.] 

This hadith shows us that whoever does not have mercy towards young children, then he himself would be prevented from receiving any mercy. This is because the rewards and recompense of actions are based upon and will be the same as the type of action that is done. 

As comes in another Hadith: "Have mercy on those on the earth The One in the Heaven will have mercy on you." 

In our hectic lives and in trying to realise our materialistic ambitions let us not be oblivious to those who are truly near and dear to us. 

To most people you are just a number to someone you may mean the world! 

So�honestly, 

When LAST DID YOU KISS OR HUG your child ???
