Honour of Women

Bismillahi 'r-rahmani 'r-raheem

The sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi wrote:

Women are honoured to carry in themselves the greatest secret – that of human life.
The Prophet, to whose speech the whole world was enslaved, use to say: “Speak to me, o, Aisha!”

The Prophet said that women dominate men of intellect and possessors of hearts,
But ignorant men dominate women, for they are shackled by the ferocity of animals.
They have no kindness, gentleness, or love, since animality dominates their nature.
Love and kindness are human attributes, anger and sensuality belong to the animals.
She is not your “sweetheart”!
She is the radiance of God.
