10 Reasons I Love Being a Traditional Woman
Nowadays, we live in a society where the role of a woman being a good wife, mom, and homemaker are regarded as oppressive and being weak. I disagree 100% and feel strongest and closest to Allah SWT when I fully adopt my role as a traditional woman.
Sadly, if you look up the definition of a traditional woman, it inaccurately describes the term and makes it seem that those women are old fashioned and oppressed.
Be a feminist they say, it will “free” you from the shackles of your womanhood.
If that were true, women would be thriving! Instead, look around, females in modern society are more tired and disgruntled than ever before. I am not, nor will I ever be ashamed to say I am a supportive wife, a doting mother, and a stay at home woman to my family.
If you’re one too, or hope to be one, don’t let society make you believe it’s not worth anything or that you are not appreciated enough. Alhumdulillah as Muslims, we know the immense reward we will receive from our Creator for being traditional women.
Remember, it is mothers who raise the future ummah and we don’t need society’s measuring stick to know our worth and impact on the world.
In hopes of motivating you to feel proud of being a good wife and mother, and choosing to follow your heart instead of society, I am sharing 10 reasons I love being a traditional woman.
Please note, I am not saying that it is wrong, sinful, or that a woman can’t do more than seeing to her husband, kids, and home. Actually, our rights in Islam are crystal clear if you study the deen, so I don’t see the necessity in stating the obvious of what Muslim women are able to do.
I simply want our other roles as wife and mom to be regarded as high and for us to acknowledge them as the most important part of our life after seeing to our own needs and being a worshiper.

1. I love being a woman who takes care of her husband and children for the sake of their long-term success and well-being.
2. I love seeing to my home and keeping it in order so my family has a tranquil abode for their weary days.
3. I know that my work and efforts as a woman will be immensely rewarded in this life and the next and my family’s success is also my own.
4. I feel the doors of barakah open for me when I take care of my husband and kids with a good heart because Allah Knows my intentions are pure.
5. I accept my female abilities, strengths, and limitations fully as I trust in Allah’s Qadr and I envelop my role as a woman with dignity.
6. I understand that when I fulfill my obligations as a traditional woman, society thrives and that angers shaytan.
7. I know that when I am a good and loyal wife, my husband thrives and will slay more dragons for me and our children.
8. I know when I choose to stay home for my children, they will thrive, behave better, and stay on track by my cautious eye.

Our sacrifices as Muslims, spouses, and parents will be immensly rewarded, and all our acts of charity from the duties we perform is considered an ibadah (worship) so we don’t need to worry what anyone says.
Let’s Make Dua
May Allah SWT accept all our efforts as women, wives, and mothers and grant us Jannatul Firdous for our sacrifices and good intentions, ameen.
