Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

A mother’s love is unconditional, her patience is endless, and her prayers accompany us throughout our lives. Even in the most difficult moments, our mothers embrace their children with hope; their voices bring peace, and their presence is a source of security. Motherhood is not just about bringing a child into the world; it’s about shaping a life with effort, faith, and love. Mother’s Day is an important occasion to remember this unique value and express our gratitude.

On this meaningful day, I am delighted to celebrate Mother’s Day for all mothers who are at the center of our lives with their compassion, sacrifices, and love.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) beautifully expressed the value given to mothers by saying, “Paradise lies at the feet of mothers.” Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk also expressed his respect for Turkish women and mothers with the words, “Everything in the world is the work of women,” clearly emphasizing their place in society.

Throughout history, mothers have been one of the most important forces determining the fate of our nation. In Çanakkale and the War of Independence, Anatolian women carried ammunition to the front lines, selflessly sent their sons off to fight for their country, and, when necessary, took part in the struggle for independence, making significant contributions.

Our mothers, who raise their children to be individuals beneficial to their country, nation, and humanity, are the cornerstone of society and the most secure guarantee of our future.

On this occasion, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all mothers, especially the mothers of our beloved martyrs, on Mother’s Day, and wish them a lifetime of health, peace, and happiness.

Asfa Holding Board Chairman Asaf Atasoy included the following statements in his message;

We are happy to celebrate this special day of our mothers, who form the foundation of our society and turn the family home into an island of peace by holding it together with their sacrifices.

Our mothers, who are the unifying element of family life and who have undertaken one of the most difficult tasks in the world, are the embodiment of goodness, compassion, devotion, mercy and unconditional love, possessing the most sublime emotions.

Our beloved Prophet’s words, “Paradise lies under the feet of mothers,” are very meaningful in terms of revealing the importance our religion gives to our mothers and the respect we should show them.

Our mothers are not only the beings who bring humans into the world, but also the protectors and teachers of humans from the moment they are born.

No amount of service can be enough to our mothers who put forth their whole selves by patiently enduring various sacrifices and difficulties.

With the belief that Mother’s Day will help us better understand the value of our mothers, I congratulate my mother and all mothers, especially those who have given their children as martyrs for their country, on Mother’s Day and wish them healthy, happy and peaceful days with their families.
