Nogo Mission 1: A Gift for mum...

Alhamdulillah.. our first Nogo session was held at our Nogo Workstation aka Backyard, 99a Oats St, Carlisle from 2pm to 3.30pm, Thursday 10th December 2015.
We started our session with a short chat about mum referring to our Islamic values sheet:

Mission 1: A gift for Mum

And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his Parents, His mother bears him with hardship and she brings him forth with hardship. (46:15)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) was once asked: O Messenger of Allah, who among people is most deserving of my good treatment? He said: Your mother. The man asked twice more, Then who? And was given the same response. Only until the fourth time did the Prophet (peace be upon him) respond: Your father.
