    There's nothing nicer than washing a sinkful of dishes in warm soapy water. My mom used to enjoy doing the dishes, she found it relaxing. Id agree with her as well, (although I do prefer the dishwasher lol).

    Do you also find washing dishes therapeutic?

    I don´t but I could invite you to here to relax a little - specially after I have baked or cooked something.



    Free dishbrush includes the offer and maybe some cookies too.

    From Occupied Palestine:

    We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.

    Not at all. I wish I had a genie who would do the dishes for me.
    Oh, wait. I do have a dishwasher. But I would so love it that a dish gets cleaned the very instant I'm done using it - no loading the dishwasher and a very clean sink.

    Oh, so many wishes....

    Assalamu-alaikum,


    One can spend the time during such chores (and all other times when not intensely engaged in activity) in the Zikr (remembrance) of Allah.
    This is referred to as Wuqoof-e-qalb (Vigilance of the Heart).

    In this way, that activity can become a means of worship, reward and nearness to our Rabb, in shaa Allah (versus activities with benefits that are just related to this dunya).

    Re: Washing dishes - therapeutic?

    With the responses, lol, you guys must be thinking this is a joke thread and that Im weird for thinking washing dishes is therapeutic .

    I suppose we'r so busy who has time to enjoy washing dishes haha. I myself find it a chore loading the dishwasher but that's a separate issue lol.

    Washing dishes by hand gets really tiring when you have to do it all day. But generally, doing a sinkful of dishes in hot, sudsy water is nice sometimes - not those big greasy sticky pans though, thats a big turn off

    Thanks for the responses everyone.
