Asma (RA) reported that she approached the Prophet (SAW) on behalf of woman and mentioned that men excelled women due to their participation in Friday and congregational prayers, visiting the sick, attending funeral prayers, performing the Hajj and Umra, and due to their participation in Jihad. The Prophet (SAW) replied: "Go and inform the women that their beautification for their husbands, discharging their rights, seeking their pleasure and obeying them is equal in reward (to the above mentioned acts) of men" [Kanz-ul-Amaal] (Taken from DailyHadith App for Iphone)
So, while guys are out their, risking their necks jihad, or standing in rows for long periods of time, shoulder to shoulder with Bashir Big Beard and Tareq Turban, or sitting on the floor as their lower extremities slowly lose feeling listening to an Imam lecture on for an hour, women can sit at home, put on their makeup and make themselves even prettier while watching T.V, maybe do some chores with a youtube video playing on the counter, perhaps prepare a snack for their hubbies and themselves or do whatever else was asked of them AND GET THE SAME REWARD.
"But Th3luba you chauvinist!" you may exclaim "we have to do what our husbands tell us to do! How is that fair?" To which I wittily respond "See last weeks post. And really, 70 years (if even that) of being a good wife pretty much gets you an ETERNITY of bliss. Some guys never even SEE a jihad, let alone participate in one, and all you have to do is keep us happy (it's not hard, it really isn't. We have two moods: hungry and....let's call it cuddly (for the kiddies sake)) so enough complaining; go give your man a hug and swap it for a Palace in Paradise."
