The Muslim woman may find herself becoming neglectful and slipping from the Straight Path, so she may fall short in her practice of Islam in a way that does not befit the believing woman. But she will soon notice her error, seek forgiveness for her mistakes or shortcomings, and return to the protection of Allah (swt):

( Those who fear Allah, when a thought of evil from Satan assaults them, bring Allah to remembrance. When lo! They see [aright]! ) (Quran 7:210)

She feels a sense of responsibility for the members of her family

The responsibility of the Muslim woman for the members of her family is no less, in the sight of Allah (swt), than that of the man. Her responsibility is in fact even greater than a man’s because of what she knows of the secret life of her children who live with her most of the time; they may tell her things that they do not tell their father. The Muslim woman feels this responsibility every time she hears the words of the Prophet (saas):

“Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. The leader is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock; a man is the shepherd of his family and is responsible for his flock; a woman is the shepherd in the house of her husband and is responsible for her flock; the servant is the shepherd of his master’s wealth and is responsible for it. Each of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

This sense of responsibility constantly motivates her to put right any faults of shortcomings she finds in her family’s behavior. A woman does not keep quiet about any deviance, weakness or negligence in her family or home, unless she is lacking in religion, her character is weak, and her understanding is incomplete.
