Mothers have a great role to play in shaping the characters and morals of nations:

 * *Two incidents about the loss of a pencil!* *The first case of the missing pencil:* One robber says: Once, when I was in 4th class, I lost my pencil. When I came home I told my mother about it, as a punishment she hit me and scolded me. She called me stupid, irresponsible and much more. As a result of my mother's harsh behaviour, I made up my mind that I would not go to my mother empty-handed, so I decided to steal the pencils of my classmates. The next day, I made a plan and I didn't stop stealing one or two pencils but stole the pencils of all my class fellows.

It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns.” [2:286]* And, *“So verily, with every difficulty there is relief: (repeated) Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.” [94:5-6]* I ask: _"Why do I lose hope?"_ Quraan answers: *“So lose not heart, nor fall into despair…” [3:139]* I ask: _"How can I face it?"
