You have given so much of yourself to make sure we had what we needed. You have carried burdens that I may never fully understand, made sacrifices that perhaps we will only come to appreciate with time, and poured from your own cup so that ours would never be empty. You have stretched yourself in a million different directions, finding ways to cater for six children, to nurture us, to protect us, to guide us, and to love each of us in ways only a mother can. And through it all, you have continued to give, even when giving must have cost you something.
My mother, my first home, my first experience of love. The woman whose body became my first shelter, whose womb was my first world, and whose heartbeat was the first song I ever knew. Before I knew the meaning of love, I was already loved by you. Before I ever saw the light of this world, you had already given so much of yourself to bring me into it.
the vessel through which Allah gave me life. And sometimes, I wonder if the word mother is even enough to describe you, because how do I fit a lifetime of sacrifice, an ocean of love, and a thousand unspoken prayers into just six letters?
If there is one thing I wish for you in this lifetime, it is that life gives back to you in abundance. That the years ahead are gentle with you. That Allah rewards you for every sacrifice, every sleepless night, every silent worry, every prayer whispered for your children, and every burden you carried so we could stand a little taller. May He grant you the kind of happiness that settles deep in your soul, the kind of peace that asks nothing of you, and the kind of love that makes you feel as cherished as you have always made us feel. I love you so much 🥹❤️🎉

Sometimes, I wish I could gather every beautiful thing in this world and lay it at your feet. I wish I could return to you every moment of rest you sacrificed, every dream you postponed, every tear you swallowed, and every time you chose us even when you needed someone to choose you. I know I cannot repay you for giving me life, much less for all the ways you have continued to make that life beautiful. But I pray that I get to spend my years loving you in ways that remind you that none of it was ever in vain. Happy birthday, my mother. My beginning, my answered prayer, my lifelong blessing. May Allah preserve you for us, bless you with abundant health, increase you in happiness, forgive your shortcomings, accept your prayers, and grant you goodness in this life and the Hereafter. May He honour you in ways this world never could and grant you Jannatul Firdaus for all the love and goodness you have poured into our lives. If I had to live a thousand lifetimes, I would still pray to have you as my mother in every single one of them. I love you beyond the limits of language, beyond what these words can express, and beyond what I may ever be able to show you.
