A French woman came to an Islamic center in France with her fourteen-year-old son so that her son could become a Muslim. They both reached the Islamic center and the boy met the director in his office. The boy said, "My mother wants me to become a Muslim." The director of the Islamic center asked the boy, "Do you want to embrace Islam...?" The boy replied, "I haven't really thought about it yet, but it is my mother's wish that I embrace Islam." The director was greatly surprised by the boy's answer. He asked him, "Is your mother a Muslim...?" The boy said, "No, my mother is not a Muslim, and I don't even know why she is telling me to embrace Islam." The director asked, "Where is your mother...?" The boy replied, "She is standing outside the Islamic center." The director said, "Bring your mother here, so that I can talk to her and understand the situation." The boy brought his mother to the director. The director asked the mother, "Is it true that you are not a Muslim, yet you want your son to become a Muslim...?" The mother replied, "Yes, that is absolutely correct." The director was astonished by this answer and asked the mother, "Why do you want your son to embrace Islam?" The answer the mother gave was truly mind-blowing. She explained, "In the flat where I live in Paris, there is a Muslim family living right opposite to mine. They have two children who study at the university. Every morning and evening, whenever these two children leave the house or enter it, they kiss their mother's forehead and her hands. They treat their mother with immense respect and manners, as if she were the prime minister of some country. Ever since I saw this sight, it became my heart's deepest desire that my son should also become a Muslim. Otherwise, I am afraid that when I grow old, he might put me in an old age home. I want him to treat me exactly the way these Muslim children treat their mother." (Narrated — Selection: Islamic Tube Pro App)
