Do I Make it to Heaven Being a Wife?

It was the first activity for HELWA (Hal Ehwal Wanita) Taman Sutera. A talk by Ahmad Husni Abd. Rahman, from Eksekutif Dakwah Pusat Pungutan Zakat (PPZ). I just love the activity, the fact that the talk was specially dedicated to mummies and kids were busy coloring for the colouring contest. Sometime in between, baby cries were heard and kids running in the surau. Aren't kids supposed to be exposed to the environment though most of the time they weren't even listening. The best part was the food right after that. :)

However, there was one thing that really caught my attention. It was when Ustaz told for a fact that a lot of women won't make it to heaven just because they are not thankful for their husbands and never really appreciate their husbands for their kindness. I was busy pondering my thoughts to listen to the rest of the talk especially when he asked "How many of you really greet your husbands at the door?" [i do.. hehe] "and thank him for working the whole day to take care of us" [opps...].. He continued "How many said thank you when your husbands give you money [i do.. hehe] and make a looongg face when it is not enough [oppssssss].. ".

I was told by a friend to be thankful when I complained that I'm embarrassed because most of the time my husband is the one doing the house chores as I'm mostly with Muhammad breastfeeding him. My husband is indeed a rare species.

My husband stopped charging my phone because I complained that he was gonna ruin my battery and now there are times that my handphone suddenly went off because it is out of battery.

I complained that he never really took me out to big malls when he had already given me permision to go with my friends. While some of my friends are stuck at home because their husband won't allow them go outing with friends and never really took them out.

I can write a long list of the things that I complain but I'd better not because some of my complaints are not said outloud but I can't deny the dissatisfaction I have in my heart. Hopefully things are gonna change from now on because of what Ustaz said to end his session:

Setiap waktu seorang wanita itu bersama keluarganya, yang dilakukan dengan penuh keikhlasan adalah dikira ibadah..
