Furthermore, for a woman to think she is sufficient for an authentic
Patriarchal husband or that she possesses either him or his heart is a
romantic trap that will imprison her in a cage of emotions from which she
cannot escape! It is rare that such a man finds one woman who can
encompass and penetrate his heart in its entirety. Wise women have sense
enough to be no more than a single rib, and even they often prove inadequate
for the task as we may acknowledge from the life of the many Polygamous
Prophets. Therefore, plural marriage and the superfluity of good women has
a unique place in the Kingdom of God, in order to safeguard, comfort, and
give joy to the hearts of those men who carry the burden of leadership in
Allah’s Cause, so that the Kingdom may prosper and multiply in health of
mind, spirit, and body for all concerned. This burden is often too heavy for
one wife, and the strain will age her prematurely which often alienates her
husband’s physical attentions. Therefore, wise wives will welcome the help
and love of a companion wife, so that the burden is shared and the heart of
her husband may expand and contract comfortably in the hands of such
sisters. These principles do not hold true for people with a romantic worldly
view, as these mysteries are reserved for the humble and wise of heart who
serve the Kingdom of God!
If you oppose your husband’s desires and vision, you cease to be a woman and
enter the realm of manly competition. This will only demean your nature and
deny or delay the cause of your destiny. Please read that again! A woman’s
greatest shield of protection is her piety and submission. Feminists are veiled
from this truth and cannot comprehend it! They are Liliths: goddesses of
destruction! A wife’s opposition is a battle she may cleverly win, but it starts
a war she is destined to lose if she maintains such an aggressive posture.
Rightly guided men will ignore her and her bed! This is a spiritual law for the
mature of heart who do not worship cupidity’s foolishness! Just as your
charms bring forth the fire of your husband’s seed, your submission draws
forth the grace of his greatest potential in the Kingdom of God! This is
spiritual law and is truly your heart’s desire. There is no other way it may be
achieved with the peace of God’s grace. Insha’Allah, the following essays will
help you to orient yourself to the responsibility of being your husband’s rib;
that is: his companion, the closest soul to his heart in the Cause of Allah, even
when he doesn’t realize it!
