Parents can do unimaginable things out of love for their
young ones. And you need to experience it first hand to truly understand it. Mothers
put their lives at risk whenever they give birth to a child. But what happens
after that? Despite all the pain and suffering through labor, the mother is
overflowed with joy and happiness, so much so that the sight of the baby
subdues the pain.
Fathers may not have the same unreal experience. They may
not have as much compassion towards the child as the mother. But still, his
love to his children will still be intense. And to be separated from the
children, and family in general, is an unpleasant experience. And I say this
from real life experience.
It would be most ideal if we could be together with the ones
that we love forever and ever. But even in the best condition, it will never
happen in this worldly life. There will always be the chance to be separated,
whether because of job needs, school, business, and of course death.
However, there is one way to be gathered together FOREVER,
in the best of places, as mentioned in the Qur’an. What we need to do is to
believe and commit ourselves to good deeds. Furthermore, we also need to
educate our children so that they do the same. In turn, they will do the same
to their children and them to theirs, and it goes on and on until the end of
time (by God’s will).
By doing so, we will be brought back together in eternal
bliss. And the best part is, not only will we be gathered by our children, but
also with our grandchildren, our great grandchildren, and so forth.
