Celebrating Mother’s Day: A Tribute to the Strength and Love of Working Mothers

Motherhood is the most beautiful blessing from Allah—a sacred, unbreakable bond that brings meaning, love, and purpose into our lives. On this Mother’s Day, I reflect not only as a mother but also as a corporate woman who balances professional duties with the priceless role of being a parent.

Being a working mother is never easy. It’s a life of constant balancing—juggling meetings and deadlines while nurturing a child’s heart and dreams. But I have always approached all my responsibilities with honesty and dedication. I don’t see work and motherhood as competing priorities. To me, my daughter is just as important as any deadline or project, and I treat my role as her mother with the same seriousness and passion as my professional role.

My daughter is my best friend, and one of the most treasured things she has ever said to me is that I am her best friend too. That single phrase means more to me than any title or achievement. We laugh together, watch movies, go shopping, and cook side by side. Her birthday is a sacred holiday to me—no matter how busy my schedule is, I never miss it. I attend every parents’ meeting and every invitation from her circle, because being present in her life is my top priority.

Though I live and work in the corporate world, I have learned that quality matters more than quantity. I focus on creating meaningful memories, not just spending time for the sake of it. Whether it’s a small talk at dinner or an evening walk, I cherish every opportunity to connect with her heart.

On this Mother’s Day, I want to express my deep respect for all mothers. Every mother’s journey is precious, every story filled with love, strength, and sacrifice. Let us celebrate them not just today, but every single day.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers around the world.
