Does Ancient Muslim Wisdom Have Answers To Modern Western Problems?

Western civilization was not the only producer of wisdom. I stumbled upon some useful Islamic quotes, many of which are from Ali ibn Abi Talib, the leader of the Islamic caliphate from 656-661 AD and cousin of the Prophet.

[...]

Sex differences

"‘The good characteristics of women are the bad characteristics of men: pride, cowardice and stinginess. If a woman has pride she will not allow herself to be taken advantage of; if she is stingy she will guard her wealth and her spouse’s wealth; and if she is cowardly she will be cautious of everything that confronts her.’" (Iman Ali)

Obeying

"Obeying women is the ultimate ignorance.

[—]

Obeying desire corrupts the mind." (Iman Ali)

[...]

Sexual pleasure

"Beware of too much passion for women and being seduced by the sweet temptations of this world, for passion for women is trying and being seduced by worldly temptations is humiliating." (Iman Ali)

[...]

Virgins

"‘The archangel Gabriel descended to the Prophet (SAWA) and told him, ‘O Muhammad, verily your Lord extends salutations on you and says, ‘Verify the virgins from among your women are as fruits on a tree, which when they ripen must be plucked otherwise the sun rots them and the wind alters them. So when young women reach marriageable age, they have no other recourse apart from husbands, otherwise they will not be safe from corruption.’" (Iman al-Rida)

A suitable wife

"He who marries a woman solely for her beauty will not find anything he likes in her, he who marries her for her wealth will be deprived of it as soon as he marries her, so look to marry women of faith.

[—]

The beauty of a woman’s faith must be given priority over the beauty of her face." (The Prophet)

An evil woman

"‘Beware of the verdure growing in manure.’ When asked what verdure growing in manure was, he replied, ‘It is the beautiful woman that comes from an evil environment.’" (The Prophet)

Happy husband

"Woe unto the woman who angers her husband, and blessed is the woman whose husband is pleased with her.

[—]

If I was in a position to command anyone to prostrate in front of anyone else, I would command the woman to prostrate in front of her husband." (The Prophet)

Husband’s duty

"The right of a woman on her husband is that he feeds her, clothes her, and does not cause her to lose face [by insulting her or chiding her].

[—]

Verily the man who lifts a morsel of food to his wife’s mouth is well rewarded" (The Prophet)

A woman’s jihad

"The sacred war (jihad) of a woman is to be of excellent service to her husband." (Iman al-Kazim)

Marital mistreatment

"If a man has a wife who mistreats him, Allah does not accept her daily prayer, nor any other good deed she performs, even if she was to fast all her life, until and unless she relieves him and pleases him—and the husband will bear the same burden and punishment if he mistreats or oppresses his wife." (The Prophet)

Cursed woman

"Cursed! Cursed indeed is the woman who troubles and distresses her husband; and blessed! Blessed indeed is the woman who honours her husband, does not trouble him and obeys him in all matters." (Iman al-Sadiq)

Cursed man

"Every man who is controlled by his wife is indeed cursed." (Iman Ali)

Nobility

"Habituate yourself to performing noble deeds and tolerate the burdens of losses, and your self will be noble." (Iman Ali)

[...]

While many of us here do not agree with the sometimes violent spread of Islam to European lands, their views on the sexes and marriage fully account for the true nature of women that we’re all too aware of.

Islamists understand that a woman can become feral if not constrained by a strong patriarch in the home. When a culture fails to incorporate this understanding, the result is what we have in the modern West, of women who trade having a healthy family to become degenerates and sterile freakshows. Islam is not without its problems, but if their higher birth rates are of any indication, their gender strategies should be duplicated to some degree in the West.
