Aisha (RA) testified that the Prophet ﷺ mended his shoes, cooked, and milked his goat—yet many Muslim husbands today won’t even load the dishwasher. Let’s fix this Sunnah-blindness!

🔑 What This Video Covers:
✔️ Stereotype vs. Sunnah: Why "women do all chores" is cultural, not Islamic
✔️ Proof from Aisha (RA): How the Prophet ﷺ actively shared domestic work
✔️ The psychological toll on wives: Resentment builds when labor is invisible
✔️ Practical steps: Start with one Sunnah chore today (e.g., "I’ll wash the dishes after dinner")

💡 Hard Truth:
"If the best of creation ﷺ could mend his own shoes, why do some men act like taking out trash is ‘beneath them’?"

📢 Action for Husbands:
Challenge: Pick one chore your wife usually does and take it over this week.

00:00The stereotypical norm is that women generally do more housework than the men.
00:04This is the stereotypical norm.
00:06Husbands, if Aisha herself told us,
00:08that our Prophet ﷺ would milk his own goat,
00:12and he would mend his own shoes,
00:13and he would cook his own and prepare his own food.
00:16Now, Aisha said this.
00:18But I asked the women as well,
00:19do you think that Aisha would just sit and do nothing?
00:22What she is saying,
00:24our Prophet ﷺ was not a commanding husband.
00:26Do this, cook my food, mend my shoes.
00:29He was not like that.
00:31If something needed to be done,
00:32and he could do it,
00:33he would stand up and do it.
00:34Now, do you think that Aisha would just sit and do nothing?
00:37No.
00:38When she is there, she will do it.
00:40But he's not the commanding type.
00:42This is the ideal situation.
