Women and Mothers: The Sources of Honor, Grace and Loyalty for Humanity

“A society that cares about women and mothers cares about its own future. A state that is uncaring to women and mothers – the source of life and survival of the human race – loses its future.” President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon

The earth on which the humans live and work has its own appearances and disciplined norms, through which we find peace, rest and quiet. In fact, without these norms and substances it would be impossible and difficult for us as humans to live on the planet sincerely and serenely.

There are countless human beings inside this beautiful and pleasant planet, but among them all, one is more valuable as angel who shakes the world with her hand and captivates its inhabitants with her grace and charm. The spirit of beauty and love, honor and glory, happiness and loyalty is the mother or woman who is honored enduringly. In fact, a mother or a woman is a being whose being is full of love, affection, grace, honor, and grace, and who bears the burden of life for the existence of the planet as its protector and support. She has a nature and capital that guides humanity towards the perfection of life at every moment and, like an angel, opens her loving and tender wings for humanity.

Really the women as mothers/sisters are a sacred being, and life begins with them. They are the angels from who comes the light and enlightenment of the world and the warmth of life. Knowing the value of mothers and respecting and respecting a woman is the mission and duty of every human being. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that ‘The paradise in which we are pleased to have it is under the feet of the mothers’.

A woman is the most valuable and precious blessing in the world, whose source of boundless love and pure spring are dedicated to humanity as a treasure trove. With these characteristics and attributes, her endless love, beauty, and caresses familiarize us with the love and affection of the world and people. We grow up with this angel of the earth in a colorful world and learn from her the lessons of love and grace, loyalty and humanity, grace and honor.

The role of leaders, scientists, and writers, poets and writers, ambassadors and diplomats, newspapers, magazines, books and articles, and research and analytical institutes and centers in examining these or those issues and discovering their relevance is considered very important. In this context, the wisdom and skills of women as teachers, educators, diplomats and political scientists in society are considered very important.

Many poets and writers have written thousands of books and stories about the mother/women and writing and will continue to write in her honor. The writers of the world in every language and dialect have expressed good examples and proverbs about the image of the mother, woman and her position in society with eloquence, grace and creativity especially Muhammad Iqbal. Muhammad Iqbal on the recognition and respect of women as angels of beauty, the kind companion, and the partner and confidant of men may be revived and remembered. Muhammad Iqbal has expressed the place of women with love and grace in his works especially in its Urdu poetry dedicated the title as “Awrat” (woman) conveyed the greatness, dignity and virtue of women. Iqbal realizes the honor and value of the women as following:

وجودِ زن سے ہے تصویرِ کائنات میں رنگ

اسی کے ساز سے ہے زندگی کا سوزِ درُوں

From the existence of a woman, the image of the universe is colored

From her instrument, the burning of life is deep۔۔۔

The image of the universe becomes colorful because of the existence of a woman, and from this angel of beauty, life and inner fire appear. Muhammad Iqbal sees the beauty of the world in the image of the mothers-women as delicate, graceful and kind gender and reminding the human being that she is the man shield and fabricator of life for humanity. He perceives a woman as a treasure that contains valuable and magnificent jewels.

In the view of Muhammad Iqbal a woman as a mother and nurturer, and obliges men to protect her so that no harm or injury comes to her, because a good and healthy society depends on the existence of chaste women, and he sees them as the foundation and pillar of the family and society. According to Muhammad Iqbal a woman as a mother is responsible to give the birth of healthy and bountiful children.

Muhammad Iqbal expresses in his Persian-Tajik poetry says that that the nation’s asset is not only made of cash, clothes, wires, or gold, but Its real wealth is having mothers-women producing healthy, wealthy hard-working, diligent, and attentive children.

Muhammad Iqbal, addressing humanity, emphasizes that the real wealth of the society is having healthy and fit children who are punctilious and diligent generate the capital of the nation.

Only these healthy and fit children can discover hidden capital that will help and benefit humanity in the development and growth of society. The President Tajikistan always emphasizes in his messages that healthy and brave youth are the future of the nation and homeland, and the progress and development thoroughly related to them.

In summary many countries of the world monthly celebrate 8th of March as “Women day” or «Mother’s Day” including Central Asia and South Asian regions. Meanwhile Tajikistan marks 8th march t as “Mother Day” and Pakistan as “Women’s Day” to appraise the remarkable contributions of women as society affluence contributors and mothers as vigorous fabricators of wealthy children recognizing the ongoing struggle for gender equality. The celebration also means the acknowledging the challenges that women face and working towards addressing them.

However, there are still many obstacles such as limited access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities, particularly in rural areas that women face. Moreover, violence against women, such as domestic violence, sexual harassment, and honor killings, remains a major problem in many countries of the world especially Asia and African regions which are not only affect their’s lives but also hinder the nation’s development.

Despite this, many countries of the world especially Tajikistan and Pakistan upgraded the role and status of women and have made significant contributions to their society in various fields, such as politics, education, science, technology, sports, and entertainment. It is worth noting that in Asia regions such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Singapore, women have worked as leaders and diplomatsas Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, Sheikh Hasina, Halima bint Muhammad Yaqub and others leading their nations towards peace and prosperity.

Thus, in Tajikistan, at the direct initiative of the President of the country, the formation of women’s leadership has received special attention. In this regard, the leader of the country Emomali Rahmon from the first day with full confidence upgraded Tajik women and provided them a favorable atmosphere in the socio-political life of society. As a result of such reforms the first diplomat and ambassador was trained and appointed as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Tajikistan to the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Finally, we can conclude from the valuable words of Muhammad Iqbal that a woman as a mother is the only angel’s earth who rocks the cradle with one hand and the world with the other, and always wants her child to grow up without any defects and become her protector. Constantly the mothers seeing the peace, health, and eloquence of her children, gains a fresh spirit and rises for them. But, unfortunately, many of us are not yet distinguish their values to achieve the honor and respect of this priceless treasure.

In fact, appreciation and respect for women as mothers, sisters and wealth contributors of healthy society is human obligation to be ready to help and serve them, know their value, and bow down to them to find out the true paradise of the life.
