Turning Housework into Worship

zainab bala

Allah is sufficient.
In our homes, generally our womenfolk cook and clean kindly from the goodness of their hearts. From morning to evening how many household chores do they undertake? But most of our mothers and sisters dont have any specific intention behind what they are doing. They have no intention; they undertake their tasks as a matter of routine.

If our mothers and sisters think that my young children are small and innocent. I am cooking for them and when i feed them how happy will they become. And if i become the means of creaating hapiness in the hearts of my children then how happy will Allah become. I am cleaning my house because everyone likes to live in a clean environment. My husband will be pleased, my mother-in-law will be pleased, my father-in-law will be pleased, my children will be pleased, any guests that visit my house will be pleased. If i become the means of bringing pleasure to the hearts of people then Allah will definitely become pleased with me.

Now (because there is an intention and the intention is correct) all the work that you are doing is turned into worship.

Of course, there is more writings on this from scholars on this subject, but I can't remember the writings.
