Confusion

The challenge of modern life is essentially twofold: (1), its excessive emphasis and reliance on materialism (worldly gain), and (2), the exacerbating growth of ignorance (loss of wisdom) directly as a consequence to

#1. Materialism creates a physical and metaphysical environment with a worldview filled with things and ideas that are anti-thetical to the 'Cause of Allah'; which itself concerns only the perfection of His purpose in Creation (form and function). Man (Adam, and those submitted to his prophetic lineage) as God's vicegerent, is the husbandman of the Earth, and therefore, without knowledge of both God and His purpose, man can only deviate from this holy Shepherd’s path, and thus, destroy, for the want of virtue, what God intended to be perfectly formed.

As in everything, Islam is the middle way of balance between too much or too little of both things and ideas that oppose God's purpose.

Therefore, the goal of modern Muslims is not to reject material progress or new ideas, but to weigh them in the balance and reject what is excess or extreme.

We accomplished this only by virtue of grace, which, as we demonstrated, must be actively sought and obtained through faith and deeds that are acceptable and pleasing to al'Mussawwir (swt). Deeds include the getting of knowledge and here is a major cause of failure to obtain the grace that maintains (virtue) and perfects that which is formed in the womb even after birth. The failure of men to learn, and the present success of women in this realm, is a major factor in the current demise of the family worldwide. It is a principal goal of al'Dajjal, as prophesied in both the hadith and al'Kitab.

Hence, men, who by nature are instinctively driven to govern, now either govern with impressive ignorance, or are resentfully subjected to women governors who have knowledge but naturally lack the manly instincts, and therefore, cannot attain unto the perfection of wisdom in the office of vicegerent on her own. This represents then, a state of gender-role confusion never before witnessed in the earth except during the ancient goddess idolatry of Shakti in Dravidia.[1]This confusion is as far from equality as the East is from the West, and manifests itself in the homosexual epidemic that historically precedes the demise of every major civilization, such as in Greece and Rome. In no way can such a state of human affairs engender the perfected form of Gods' intended ‘Muslimity’ of Creation, under the governance of such a confused people.

As women succeed in their adaptation to the male role as governor, provider, protector, and even sower of seed (artificial insemination without solemn marriage); their own identity as Matriarchal Governess (Shepherdess) of the domestic domain is changed from the genteel, soft, receptive, and passive care-giver and nurturer, to that which is essentially contrary.In the process, she loses the full charm of her femininity and becomes either a vixen (female fox) or domineering shrew.And what is worse, she utilizes energies intended to preserve her female nature and form for purposes reserved primarily for the male dominion. This role-play reversal represents a grave imbalance, and cannot be fully compensated for by medical intervention. Woman, in this role reversal, essentially loses the fullness of her femininity and becomes no-longer: truly 'woman' in the pristine sense, both psychologically and even physically.

By adopting ideas, deeds, and authority which are essentially male, she then carries these additional responsibilities on shoulders much too narrow to bear both the male and female responsibility, and in doing so, transfers that which is male to her soul as a force which contradicts the divine word "Be Woman" that created her. This estate negatively effects (robs) that which is formed within her: both her reproductive organs, as well as any child she may conceive.

Her thoughts and deeds no longer co-operate with the word of Allah that created her. She defaults to that which is not good for her true estate.Shaitain has convinced or coerced her to do so by virtue of the Muslim male's own neglect to govern and protect her with wisdom. Unfortunately, today he is no longer qualified as vicegerent, as his own spiritual growth is stunted; much like a dwarf.He remains an ignorant boy in a man's body: pre-occupied with religious ideations rather than practical work, or with the new toys, games (e.g. football), and pleasures of the modern world, rather than the 'getting of knowledge which leads to grace, virtue, and wisdom in that order.Hence, he cannot attain to the potent dominion of the 'Cause of Allah' that both world and wife require of him. And it may even be that he is rich, but in no way do excess financial means qualify a man as Allah’s virtuous slave.

I state merely the archetypal truth, and will not venture into the details or examples of this modern conflict.

Suffice it to say that the Muslim must learn more than the recitation of al'Quran and religious ritual, as these are insufficient for him to attain true mastery of his house so that he may relieve his wife of anxieties antithetical to her nature.

The growing numbers of un-married professional women is proof enough that the Muslim man has failed his office as Adam’s vicegerent of knowledgeable governance.The sad fact of the matter is that he is no longer qualified to govern these women, and they, in turn, may well have disqualified themselves as Muslimah wives by virtue of the adaptation of the male role.This perplexing state of affairs does not co-operate with al'Mussawwir's created form within the womb.

If a woman seeks justice, it is because men do not administer it.If she seeks dominion, it is because men are not qualified to rule.If she cries out to Allah for relief from her sorrow, it is because she is under the dominion of ignorant tyranny.And when she seeks medical treatment because her female parts rebel by deviating from form and function, it is because the men in her life: fathers, brothers, husbands, and bosses, have all failed in their Islam. It is really quite simple to fathom.

So now, let us look at what to do about it.
