[quote]raising up children definitely requires role models for .... even for me as a mum i neeo whatd guidance as to what to do , and in my subconscious my mum is my role model ..... i wish i could be as patient and firm yet extremely loving ..... i keep praying , hopefully someday i will be inshallah.
I remember how she used to discipline us ,made us stand behind the door for a couple of minutes , mum and dad barely ever shouted , she was and still is so lucky she could control us with her stern looks .
She never forced religion upon us , but she inculcated the fear of Allah in our hearts at a very young age.All she did was pray five times and i would often see her praying tahajjud  and crying in her prayers ,  which seemed so strange to me as a child ,she didnt wear hijab then yet i never found her lying or backbiting , 
I barely saw her complaining ever on any thing . in times of trouble i found her saying 'when Allah wills' nearly always and i used to think what does she mean by that , how can she keep on waiting and waiting when this thing should happen ..... but over the years i saw her patience always rewarded her and now with a more mature mind i can only look back to her with respect.
When i first started trying to learn about and try to practise Islam as i learnt from an islamic circle in medical school, she was my first support , with little things and  big ones.

Alhamdulilah she gave us a strong foundation , and let us decide , so now if i pray its my own realtion with Allah , not fear of making my parents cross.

I keep trying for my children and pray loads too , though I am not as good as her yet
Ive put my faith in Allah He will not let my miniscule efforts and loads of prayers go in waste.Inshallah.

And we can all pray for our children and all muslim children and all mums working hard on them.
For All mums May Allah grant us success in this field.[/quote]
