I find myself wondering,
did i give you your due,
for all that you've done for me,
did i ever thank you?
-a notes to Ibu from her daughter.
Salam,
kepada semua semoga anda sihat sejahtera.
Okay here dah lama chip tak membebel about one topic. lately it always be about my personal life and yeah my latest blog, which before this post its a thing that i wrote spontaneously again when the feelings is serabut.
so people, i would love to share with you about mother's day. yeah mother's day this upcoming sunday. hee. okay, have you ever wonder, mana datang mother's day? so we always know about valentine's day or should we say "hari kekasih" and here comes the mother's day which known as"hari ibu"
okay i just translate it to malay i know.
alright people, here and there people are saying that valentine's day is prohibit in Islam. because we cant follow what's the christian do. one of the evidence here is ;
Rasulullah Shalallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam pernah bersabda : “Sesiapa sahaja yang menyerupai sesuatu kaum itu , maka dia itu termasuk di dalam golongan mereka”
[Hadits Sahih - diriwayatkan oleh Imam Abu Daud R.H dalam sunannya, Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal di dalam musnadnya Dan Imam as-Suyuti di dalam al-Jamie’ as-Shaghir, disahihkan oleh Al-Albani] wallahualam
in a simple words, we cant follow what other religion do because it means that we are just like them. so valentine's day is something that the westerners are celebrating and so its a no to us, as a muslim to celebrate it.
but have you ever wonder about mother's day? maybe not all of you know, this one fact i get from internet which im not quite sure the truth behind this source is that mother's day is one of the celebration of the geek back few centuries ago. okay here's the description ;
“One school of thought claims this day emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece, which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and eventually in Rome itself from the Ides of March (15 March) to 18 March. The ancient Romans also had another holiday, Matronalia, that was dedicated to Juno, though mothers were usually given gifts on this day. In some countries Mother’s Day began not as a celebration for individual mothers but rather for christians.”
taken from wikipedia. a good source kan?
to be honest really i have no problem with hari ibu or hari kekasih. but since both is a ritual from christians it makes me think twice on both of it. but yet, i was wondering, are we here in Malaysia or perhaps all around islam's countries, we are being double standards or we just dont know about this fact. we are against valentine's hate it much but not for mother's day? perhaps we should prevent the muslims to stop celebrating mother's day as well as what we had ask them on valentine.
but honestly another interesting point is that, mother is someone who give birth to us. someone really important and the one we should love and respect. but then, let's open our mind wider here and think, if husband and wife, the husband should love the wife and vice versa. meaning that, valentine's is not just about girlfriend and boyfriend here.
besides that my dear readers, one of the main thing is that, mother is someone we should appreciate since we was born. not just on mother's day, then we make or give something special. we should give our mother present or perhaps smiles, hugs and everything. we should show that we love her everyday, not just on mother's day. moreover, Islam always said, syurga itu dibawah tapak kaki ibu.
well honestly here, me myself, im giving up present to ibu every year on mother's day. and im not stopping this year as well. but the issue here really, well you should think about it. are we being double standard, are we more to trend or are we this or that. well i went to this one kuliah and the ustaz said something like,
"kita ni orang melayu membuat hukum bukan mengikut Al Quran dan Hadis tapi lebih kepada sentimen." i found out that he was actually right.
well people i just share something that i know and its up to you to take this information as a guideline or something else. its not wrong to follow something good right? but yet, mother is someone we should love everyday, every hour, every minute, every second. oh yeah readers,when is the last time you tell your mom that you love her?
but whatever it is,
a shoutout to Puan Kamarul Hanim Bt Ibrahim, I Love You Ibu <3
here's for you ;
A Mom give's hope,
when life's low.
a mom's a place,
where you can go.
a mom is honest,
a mom is ture,
a mom is precious,
my mom is you.
Up up & away, Mira Farihah
