| Just as this
low civilization has caused an
injustice by giving daughters
more than their due, so too it
perpetrates an even greater
injustice by not giving the
mother what is her right. Yes,
the compassion of mothers is a
most sweet, subtle, and lovely
manifestion of Dominical mercy,
and among the truths of the
universe, is one most worthy of
respect and reverence. And a
mother is so generous, so
compassionate, so
self-sacrificing a friend that
driven by her compassion she will
sacrifice all her world, her
life, and her comfort for her
child. A timid hen, even, the
simplest and lowest level of
motherhood, will cast herself at
a dog and attack lion in order to
protect her young “through a
tiny manifestation of that
compassion. And
so, to deprive a mother, who is
the bearer of such an honourable
and elevated truth, of the
property of her child is an
appalling injustice, a most
savage lack of respect, a
compounded wrongful insult, an
ingratitude for bounties that
causes the Divine Throne of Mercy
to tremble, and adds poison to a
most brilliant and benefical cure
for man's social life. If those
human monsters who claim to love
humanity cannot understand this,
for sure true humans can. They
know that the All-Wise
Qur’an’s command of,
And to the
mother a sixth,
is pure truth
and pure justice.
