Before he was a Muslim, he lived with his mother until he was about 18
years old. Then he moved out of his homeand lived in a different place
on his own. During those days, he met some Muslims and became a very
close friend of them. Eventually he himself became a Muslim after
learning about the beautiful religion of Islam from them. He made an
effort every day to learn more and more about Islam. One day, he came
to learn about the benefits of being good to one's parents. He learned
that a person who looks at his parents with the eyes of obedience gets
the reward of one accepted Hajj! (The reward is mentioned in
anauthentic hadith of Sahih Muslim). After knowing this, he decided to
visit hismother whom he did not visit for many years. He bought some
flowers and fruits for her on his way. His mother was very pleased to
see him after so long. He started spending lots of time withhis mother
on a regular basis. During his visits, he would stare at his motherand
tears would roll down from his eyes. The mother noticed this happening
many times and asked him one day the reason why he visits her so much
all of a sudden and why he cries. He told her about how he became a
Muslim and thatthe position of a mother in Islam is very high. He also
told her about the reward he gets for looking at her. But while
looking at her, he cries because the mother is nota Muslim and would
not be able to save herself if she dies in this state. The mother
immediately recognized the beauty of Islam and became a Muslim.
