Sulayman b. al-Qāsim said, Every deed’s reward is known except for patience. 'The patient will be given their reward without measure,' (Q39:10) he comments, "like flowing water." Ibn al-Qayyim, ʿUddah al-ṣābirīn, p. 75

Every individual goes through things that no one else can understand. Life changes us all in ways that aren’t always clear. We tend to forget that our parents are individuals with their own stories, their own struggles, their own inner challenges, etc.

We tend to be so preoccupied by what we’re going through and the reality of our experience, we forget that they also see the world a particular way due to the way their experiences have shaped them. They may not always be right. At the end of the day, no one can make decisions for you but you. But you can recognize that they love you and express their love in their own ways. It might be a cup of coffee while you’re studying. It might be yelling out advice. It might be non-stop calls. They won’t know how you want to be loved if you don’t express it.

Someone always has to decide to be compassionate first. Make the intention that it will be you. They may not always be aware of how their actions or words impact you. But if you gently point it out and express a little empathy, you’ll be surprised by how far your actions can go.

There’s a reason why Allah made obedience to parents a right. They have been patient with you in ways you don’t realize. When you exercise patience with them, even if they don’t realize how great an effort it takes, smile. Because Allah sees your efforts and intentions. And it is these efforts and intentions that strengthen families and allow them to earn the love of Allah 🤍

The evil stepmother is a fixture in European fairy tales because the stepmother was very much a fixture in early European society—mortality in childbirth was very high, and it wasn’t unusual for a father to suddenly find himself alone with multiple mouths to feed. So he remarried and brought another woman into the house, and eventually they had yet more children, thus changing the power dynamics of inheritance in the household in a way that had very little to do with inherent, archetypal evil and everything to do with social expectation and pressure. What was a woman to do when she remarried into a family and had to act as mother to her husband’s children as well as her own, in a time when economic prosperity was a magical dream for most? Would she think of killing her husband’s children so that her own children might therefore inherit and thrive? [...] Perhaps. Perhaps not. But the fear that stepmothers (or stepfathers) might do this kind of thing was very real, and it was that fear–fed by the socioeconomic pressures felt by the growing urban class–that fed the stories.

We see this also with the stories passed around in France—fairies who swoop in to save the day when women themselves can’t do so; romantic tales of young girls who marry beasts as a balm to those young ladies facing arranged marriages to older, distant dukes. We see this with the removal of fairies and insertion of religion into the German tales. Fairy tales, in short, are not created in a vacuum. As with all stories, they change and bend both with and in response to culture.
