the role of women

i know i am not qualified as yet to discuss this in detail, but i'd just like to touch on the subject.

In Islam, a woman's role is to act as a good daughter, wife and mother.

Imam Ahmad recorded that 'Abdur Rahman bin Awf said that Muhammad s.a.w said: ' if the woman prayed her daily five prayers, fasted her month, protected her chasity and obeyed her husband, she will enter Paradise from any of it's doors '

i am sure that all of us women ( if not girls ) pray to be one of the women stated above. however, i'd like to ask what is the role of the women for a man in Islam?

we have all heard the saying: beside ( not behind ) every successful man, there is a woman.

women are actually very powerful people, when a man trusts and respects a woman he will listen and follow her advice. he will turn to her for advice as a confidant as well as a partner. this could carry a huge burden on women as she has to not only be fair, but ensure that her advice is good and beneficial for him. it is also said that women are more matured than men that same age, though it depends on experience and that emotions always get the better of women, she can't think straight thus men make better leaders.

the point that i am trying to make is that though men have a lot of responsibilities ( they have to provide financially, secure their children education and provide a dowry ), it is important as well for the women in their lives to be wise. i can't say anything for the men who don't listen to their wives, i don't have that experience as yet. but men who do listen rely on their wives for input, ideas and solutions for everything need it be simple choices to their views on Islam . it's a sign of partnership and respect, so we (the unwed ) as women should get ready for that task. we should lower down our emotions, find a way to think more coherently and embrace the responsibility we will have in the future beside our husband. we have to know our own stuff and not just rely on men to teach us because sometimes they need guidance to and if u have a good man ( insyaallah we all will ) they will listen to us.

btw, selamat berpuase! ( down ngn uterus sendiri )
