২৬. is Home-making disrespectful? an answer from Islamic perspective.

-আইনুল বারী

--   ------       ----

prevailing Consumer Based Capitalist Life-Philosophy teaches us home-making (being full time home maker/house-wife) can't be treated as respectful, neither  it's a job nor anything to be called but only a kind of slavery through masculinity; its after all a brutal gender exploitation.

wives/femininity severely exploited by husbandry or masculinity. 
doing job for earning money should be the highest dignity of life in so called modern civilized societies. to achieve men-women equal status, wives should have obtained equal right so as their husbands, the economic right to do job for earning more money and thus gaining financial power.

Islam shows clearly, it's a wrong perspective. 
in fact Home-making is a much respectful job. this is wife’s principal family responsibility as to maintaining and building up family inside; the noble responsibility of bringing up children with mother’s intensive caring. 
Husband, on the other hand, shall earn money to support the family financially, and help wives to maintain family comfortably. his another important duty is to guard his family from external hazards. in case of emergency/necessity, wife can do job to earn money for family support if job environment is alright. this is not prohibited, according to the teaching of the Qur'an.

so, Islamic Wisdom Doesn't Accept the Capitalist-Consumerist Wisdom: which makes people as mindless creatures, while remaking themselves for buying unwanted products from the ever-expanding markets, and which(capitalist-consumerist), therefore, mainly stands for the principle that earning money should be treated as respectful job.  in other words Market-Based-Wisdom of Consumerism Devalues and Disrespects and Blames Home-making by Not Accepting It as a Respectful Job, as the Dutifulness or as a Principal Family Responsibility (to fulfill its hidden business-agenda?). where as, Islam Honors Wives by giving them Home-making Responsibility.

in all ways family life is the Hardcore of Civilizations.

note: i have tried to specify my analysis on wo/men roles (according to Islamic teaching ) only for family life in marital status. i will elaborate this next time, i hope.
