*Being Nice to the Womenfolk!!!*

At-Tirmidhi (3895) narrated from ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best of you is the best of you to his family, and I am the best of you to my family.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albani in Saheeh al-Jami‘, 5625.

The institution of marriage in Islaam encourages the couple to be patient in putting up with unavoidable shortcomings that may occur in their relationships. This is aimed at achieving cooperation between them, acting in accordance with the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):

“”Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety)

[al-Maidah 5:3]

and in accordance with the general meaning of the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) “Whoever meets the needs of his brother, Allaah will meet his needs.” Saheeh – agreed upon. (Fatawa Islamiyyah, 3/289)

Of course, no one says it's Haram for the Muslim womenfolk to engage in work either as a means to support their immediate familial hustling or for their personal upkeep/empowerment/fetching for the raining day!

Our fear gets hightened in the eventual  running of the home from work rather than running the work from home; that's even if working in this context becomes inevitable for them.

The _bait of feminism_ is not inconspicuously glued to _the line_ of those advocating things like this. Equally men would only be free from _mysogynist appellation_ if they sincerely act to see that the womenfolk are honoured with the primary roles they are known for from time immemorial.

I would say it's even insensitive for anyone to think of _adding salt to injury_ with the already ```homeful``` responsibilities of our women...

The effects of succumbing to such waves are not only manifested in the moral decadence of the youth of today but also accessible in the pervasiveness of immoralities going on in the nook and cranny of our cities; our towns and even our villages are also not spared...

Our Lord who purposely structured the mouths as flat but flexibly inclined to foods and drinks hasn't stopped to be ar-Razaaq...

We ask Allaah to bless us with the *hikmah* to always act towards His wishes and against His anger in every of our actions, inactions and reactions, aamiin.
