*Be Grateful And Appreciate Your Wife's Efforts*

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏ لاَ يَشْكُرُ اللَّهَ مَنْ لاَ يَشْكُرُ النَّاسَ

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, *“He has not thanked Allah who has not thanked people.”* 📚Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4811

President of the Senate!

There's something called - Gratitude (shukr). Yes. Shukr is about expressing thanks and appreciation to those who do any favor to us.

Are you aware that,

Housework may possibly seem an easy job to you,, but it is only fair to acknowledge it as a hard and tedious job. Yes. A housewife, even if she works all day and night, would not be able to finish all her work. Yes. Cooking, cleaning, washing the clothes and ironing, washing the dishes and arranging them, making the beds, and arranging the furniture and above all taking care of children, not one day, but everyday is very difficult.

A man might think that his wife is just cooking food three times a day and forgets about the rest of her work.

Honestly speaking,

Only a man who is prepared to give it a *trier* by staying in the house for a week *and do the housework* would know the pressures involved😀. He would then *appreciate* his wife's efforts. A housewife does all this work *happily* but she expects her husband to appreciate her and to show his gratitude.

Mr Senate President Sir! 

What is wrong with thanking your wife for her housekeeping❓ Why should you not express your fondness for the food she cooks❓ What is wrong with thanking her with regard to her efforts in taking care of your children❓Is it a *crime* to say - Thank you my wife 50X in a day❓ Are you not aware that your appreciation for her would encourage and refresh her❓

If you remain indifferent to her efforts, or do not show your gratitude by voicing it out,, she would lose interest in the housework and then you would complain about her.. You should know that you could be the cause of your wife's indolence.

And,

If a stranger does you a *small favour,* you would thank him many times,, but upon your wife's many favours 🙆 you are not even thanking her once❗ You are not prepared to even make her happy by showing your appreciation for all her efforts.. What is good for the strangers is also good for the family members, especially your wife.

Some men regard it as a manly act to ignore their wives' housework.. They think if they make compliments to their wives for their work,, the women would be spoiled😀. They might even believe that a man and wife do not need to thank each other.. Who tell you that❓

This belief is not right, because any good-doer from a psychological point of view,, needs appreciation and gratitude. Yes. Appreciation encourages one to do good, and this is especially true for a housewife who is doing a tedious job everyday over and over again. Thus Islam regards being thankful as a good quality in one's behaviour,, as quoted in the hadeeth above

TO BE CONTINUED....

Allah alone knows best.

سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ان لا اله الا انت نستغفرك ونتوابوااليك

Share for Allah's sake
