[quote]House Hold Chores Asalaamu Alaykum everyone, For the short period of time that I've been married thusfar I feel I have learnt so much, especially in light of the Qur'an and Sunnah. For a young Muslim Sister in the UK who has a full-time profession, seeks Islamic knowledge and helps the community in whichever way I can, finding time for household chores can be difficult. However, from what little Islamic knowledge I do have I know that Allah has given us an answer for every question. Let us turn to history and see what the daughter of our beloved Prophet (saw) did when household chores became too much for her. Her hands were sore from grinding flour and when she learned that the Muslims had acquired a huge booty she was sent by Ali (ra) to request from her father (saw) a servant to assist with household chores. No matter what we may think of our lives today, nothing could have been more hard work than propagating the Islamic message at the time of the Prophet (saw). So if anyone deserved a servant it would have been the daughter of the Prophet (saw). However, the Prophet (saw) gave Fatima (ra) something much more precious than a servant and that is Tasbeeh Fatami. If we recite Subhan'allah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times and AllahuAkbar 34 times Allah will assist us and what greater assistance than Allah's? So, although household chores may seem hard work and the thought of getting a servant so we can learn more Islam may seem an attractive idea, the truth is there is much reward in doing your own housework. If you can create the mess then you can clean it up. Sisters, it is time to realise that shaytaan will trick us at every level. When we are rewarded for even picking up a little rubbish from the floors of our houses, why then are we wanting to employ someone else to take away that reward? Let us follow the example of the daughter of the prophet (saw) and do household chores with our hands not because we think we can do it better but because we want to please Allah and have the best of abodes in the Hereafter. Wasalaam Your dearest Sister in Islam Raffia[/quote]
