A woman has to carry out many roles in her daily lives...she has to look after the house, cook food for her family, nurture her children, be an obedient and loving wife... She plays the role of a chef, a caretaker, a nurse, a teacher, a driver and a counselor too.
Due to these responsibilities, she at times feels disconnected from her Lord. She may feel disheartened that she does not seem to find the time to do the extra Nafl Ibaadah. She at times feels frustrated and accuses herself of not being a good Muslim. At times she wishes to forsake her responsibilities.
To all such women out there... Don't think in that way. Know, that the responsibilities that you carry out on your daily basis is itself an Ibaadah. Your cleaning and maintaining the house, doing the washing, ironing and cooking, loving and looking after your husband and nurturing your children are all acts of Ibaadah (worship). Even though you may not be able to carry out the extra Ibaadah due to lack of time or tiredness, you may however still engage yourselves in the remembrance of Allah Ta’ala whilst carrying out your daily chores.
Switch on the mp3 player and listen to the Qiraat or naats whilst doing your cooking, cleaning and washing. Keep your tongue moist with the Dhikr of Allah Ta’ala, Istighfaar and Durood Shareef. If you know any portion of the Qur’an by memory, then keep reciting it. And guess what, you will get double reward...one for carrying out your responsibilities and the second for keeping yourselves engaged in the remembrance of Allah Ta’ala.
