Duties of a woman in lslam

[Addoow]

salaaam sisters,i would like to share this with you ,enjoy.

lslam is a fair and balanced system of life. While it specifies the rights ofwomen it also lays down duties. A Muslim is expected to observe the following:

1. Belief in Tawhid and the practice of lslam come first. A Muslim women must perform her Salah, observe Sawm, pay Zakah on her own wealth (If it isapplicable) and go on Hajj if she can afford it. She is exempted from Salah and can defer Sawm during her period, but she must make up the days lostafterwards. Friday prayer (Jumu'ah) is optional for women.

2. She is required to maintain her chastity all the time. She must not have any extra-marital relationships. The same is the case with men.

3. It is her duty to bring up children according to the needs of lslam. Shehas to look after the family and has almost absolute control over domesticaffairs, although the family is run by mutual consultation and co-operation. She is the queen of the family and in charge of domestic life.

4. She should dress modestly and should put on Hijab (covering cloak) whilegoing out and meeting adult males beyond her close relatives (33:59,24:30-31). She should not wear man's clothing.

5. She is her husband's help-mate. A faithful wife is like a garment, a Sourceof peace, happiness and contentment for her husband (30:21,2:187).

6. If she is asked to go against the commands of Allah, she must defy even herhusband, father or brother.

7. She is expected to protect her husband's property and belongings in his absence.

lslam views a husband and wife as complementary to each other.Neither dominates the other. Each has his or her own individual rights andduties - together they form a peaceful and happy family which is the basis fora sound and prosperous society.
