The Honour of Women

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Mawlana Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi (q.s.) wrote:

“The Prophet to whose speech the world was enslaved,
Used to say, ‘Speak to me, O ‘Aishah!’
The Prophet said that women dominate men of intellect,
And Possessors of Heart,
And 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.”
