Health, time, family, food, work, wealth. It does not matter is it is a lot or less. Instead of complaining about things not being enough, they thank God for whatever they have.

With the instructions of Allah (S.W.T) and the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) the ladies learn how to be the ideal mother. The upbringing of children becomes easier. Because there is guidance available to them, every step of the way. 

The role of a mother is the most important in a family set up. She is her child’s first teacher. Children learn a lot by example. The mother’s behavior is the first thing that a child copies. If she is soft spoken and treats people with respect, the child will do the same. 

If she will be strong, her child will also be strong. She is responsible for disciplining her child and teaching him to respect his parents and elders. A mother teaches her child the difference between right and wrong. She teaches her child manners and the basic teachings of Islam. It is her duty to guide her family on the path of Allah (S.W.T).
