Here is a beautiful reminder for all of us.   After having reached at the peak of his career, a man felt an urge to repay his mother for all that she had done for him.

So  he asked her, "Mother, what can I give you? What can I do for you? I  sincerely want to repay you for all the sacrifices you have made for me  and for all the love you have showered upon me."
The mother looked  surprised and said, "Why do you think about it? It was my duty so I did  it, you don't have to repay me. Even if you want to, there is no way a  man can ever repay his mother."

Despite her continuous refusal  to ask for anything, he continued to persist. To put an end to the  discussion, she said, "All right. If you must, then tonight you sleep  on my bed, with me, just as you used to when you were a baby." He said,  "That's a strange thing to ask for, but if it pleases you, I will."

As  soon as he fell asleep, the mother got up and brought a bucket of  water. She poured a mug full of water on his side. Feeling disturbed by  the wetness under him, in his sleep he moved away to the other side of  the bed. As he settled down, his mother poured another mug of water on  the other side. In his slumber he tried to find space towards the foot  post of the bed. Sometime later he woke up feeling that this part of  the bed too was damp. He got up and saw his mother, with the mug in her  hand. He asked angrily, "What are you doing mother? Why don't you let  me sleep? How do you expect me to sleep on a wet bed?"

Mother  said, "I slept with you, when you wetted the bed in the night. I moved  you to the dry part of the bed, while I slept on the wet side. You  wanted to repay me. You could not sleep here even for one night with me  on a damp bed!"

wow...so touching.........................................It's soooo powerful

I did exactly the same to my mother the other day, except she didn't use a mug of water.
I was horrified when I woke up to find the bed covered in chocolate mousse

                               Jazak Allah DD, truly we can never pay our parents back, what they do for their children is priceless and all they deserve back from us is love, respect and utmost devotion! Their blessings upon us doesn't end even after their death, I have read some where that if some one is in very bad situation and if his mother is not alive to pray for him, he should visit his mother's grave and seek Allah's mercy, he will get his question answered very soon!
I would request brother and sisters to recite fatiha for my mother Syeda S N Zaidi and my Father Syed I A Rizvi.....

1) What is greater than mother’s love?

2) What is tastier than mother’s cooking?

3) What is warmer than a father’s hug?

4) Which pillow is better than a loved one’s lap?

5) What is sweeter than a baby’s kiss?

6) Whose company is better than a friend’s?

There are few things in life which have no substitutes.

wonderful story..
it's true, a child could never repay anything that been given by her/his parents..parents' love is immortal.
