A Wife in Islam
By Housewife4Palestine
A Love so great you feel you are walking on clouds
and everyday is Spring. It is nice to have the sun
warm your face.
Together Forever
Many people in the West have many misunderstandings of what it is like to be a Muslim wife. They have expressed to me that we are mistreated and that we have no rights. In the Quran, it is written that a Muslimah is equal to a man. In certain ways we can do thing’s a man cannot do and it is their burden to make sure that their family is well cared for. Especially with the global economic crisis, he has to work twice as hard and make certain sacrifices for the care of his family. But one thing that is very beautiful in Islam is that a man treats his wife like she is the most beautiful creation on earth. And everyone of his children a blessing from Allah (God).
When we marry, one thing that is told to us that we must obey our husband; but not so long ago in the west, this same line was in the vows for marriage there. And public opinion was with the western equality issue, it was removed.
A husband and wife have so much love and respect for each other that our homes are one of much harmony. We do not have the divorce rate like they do in the West and to me this is sad, for so many Western people have severe heart break and the children live many times in dysfunctional homes due to divorce.
It is understood that in the West they are suffering the “ME” generation where children have no discipline so they have trouble’s with the sense of right and wrong. Like the current trend of children murdering their parent’s for the Life Insurance because at a single moment the money is more important then the love and care of their parents. Or the legal consequences of their actions.
As for the equal right’s issue in the West, a Muslimah has had more rights for centuries then women try to have in the West. As with the way the society is in the West, it is my opinion that men and women have to truly respect each other for equality to exist. There are some men in the West that actually act as though they hate women and treat them like dogs. I am not saying that we are perfect but the abuse of women in such a manner, I have never seen in the Muslim world.
The average Muslim wife does have a very busy life for many households there is numerous children. Also, like many women in the West we must take care of the home. Family life is very important to us. And our children are our heart as much as our husbands are.
And yes, we can have occupations outside the home as well as education. For occupations, that are just as significant as I know women in the West in the last forty years struggled to achieve, creating much hardships and sacrifice’s too; with home and family.
Also, much has come into focus about the morality views in the Muslim world. That which we are taught in regards to morality, is for us to be the best people we know how. And our customs, such as a man and woman lowering their gaze; if you think about it stops many social problems such as infidelity and rape. We are actually a very socially orientated people partly due to the fact we view all Muslims as brother and sister and there is no racial difference among us. We also, have a very refined form of manners.
In conclusion, my husband works long hours to care for us and he loves us dearly and I have to admit Muslim men, I think, are the last great romantic’s on earth. There is a saying in our world that a Muslim man treat’s his wife like a Queen. And I know this to be very true.
