The Taqua of Marriage

(Dana P.) #1

words to not 'touch' the woman's heart persuasively , or if his manner is gruff,
or if he somehow fails to reflect the image or even scent of her father as wali ,
she will not desire union with him and her body's sexual response system will
not welcome him freely of its own inherent will. She will reject him
automatically as does the infant reject the unproven stranger.


There is hadith that tells of a woman refusing the Prophet's marriage proposal
― she did not find him pleasing enough to touch in love and actually sought
refuge in Allah from him! This episode reveals the end-result of many factors
of sexualization we have discussed and some we have not. And many of these
factors are void of moral qualities but have everything to do with the child's
conditioning as a baby as well as chemical mediators such as chemicals that
modify hormones and end organ responses and even body odor. It is quite
possible the lady refused Muhammad because he failed her subconscious
'sniff test’.


Double Standards


"And if the dying person be of those on the Right Hand, then there is safety and
peace (from the punishment of Allah) for those on the Right hand." (Q, 56:91-92)

"Did we not create you from a despised water (semen)? Then we placed it in a
place of safety (womb). (Q, 77: 20-21)

Iman (faith) is implicit in animal behavior. Animals do not worry but go
about their pre-ordained duties and when trouble comes they may seek relief
or escape, but if no help or exit arrives they simply die without too many
complaints, being secure in their animal faith that they have done their best
to avoid the inevitable. But this is not so for most humans. If every infant is
born a natural Muslim inclined towards Allah, and if the verse of our pre-
primordial covenant with Allah is true, then every man is born with an
instinctive memory of Allah. This indicates that hypocrisy – that rampant
disease of the heart – is a direct result of a spiritual infection through human
conditioning. This is to say that humans are taught the art of hypocrisy by
their caregivers. The estate of hypocrisy is that of the liar:


"And they think that they have something to stand upon. Verily, they (hypocrites)
are liars." (Q; 58:18))
