The Prophet said that women totally dominate men of
intellect and possessors of hearts.
But ignorant men dominate women, for they are
shackled by an animal ferocity.
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 the radiance of God, she is not your beloved. She
is a creator
– you could say that she is not created.
(Rumi)
