Woman working

Q: I am a mother of 3 kids. Few years ago, I used to work as a daily wage lecturer in a college. I left my job to take care of my kids. Now I came to know that my fellow colleagues have all been ranked permanent by the government. My kids are now school going and I feel very depressed at home although I have a loving husband who earns well masha-Allah. Sometimes I regret leaving my job. I feel stressed and awful. Kindly I need good advice.

A: Generally, Muslim women who excelled were women who were not schooled, especially at the secondary level. They excelled at being good mothers, great wives and a source of guidance and hope and ease for society in general. Further, be thankful to Allah Ta`ala that He has saved you from this type of anti human environment.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
