The microscope: Strong marriages make safer nations – Part 3
This is my third instalment on this topic our commitment to strong marriage secures our nation. Allah (God) gave men authority over women. The adversary intentionally ruined the Black man and liberated the Black woman from being in his charge. The White man’s control shattered her, and she developed into the vigour of damages for the Black man and his community. Please don’t get hot behind the collar and start to drum up criticisms, read on.
The Book of Genesis in the Bible says that God fashioned man first. This is not male superiority being pushed here. Then, the deity shaped the woman and furnished the man with her as a helpmeet (please note not mate). The man was under the straight power of the almighty and the woman was to come up under man’s influence, except a snake came into the equation and was constantly trying take charge of the place of God. One of Allah’s (God’s) characteristics is the regulator. He did not just put planets in the cosmos, He put control on them by way of laws and as long as they accept these laws and remained under control, they would have time without end.
The Honourable Elijah Muhammad strove to place not just the Black man but also the whole of humanity back under the control of God, that we could once again be in command of our world. Even though women may not like this sort of philosophy, should we take stock of the human exchanges, women are out of control and because they are out of guidance, they are condemning the population to a great fatal outcome.
In the Nation of Islam through the Muslim Girls in Training and Fruit of Islam (Men) classes, the Honourable Elijah Muhammad returned a measure of control to the Black man/Black woman experience and rules of engagement, and she cherished it because we had acquiesced to the control of God and that concluded the process for her to accept the man’s control because it, in actuality, wasn’t man’s control; it was God domineering our dwelling.
The Bible says that Christ is the head of man; man is the head of the woman, and woman is the head of the children. But Satan has ruined that charge. As men in the nation, we have gone astray losing the proper clout in our houses because of infidelity. We have to put the guilt where the guilt belongs. We have dishonoured our bond of marriage and our promise. We have desecrated our wives and our relationships. How can we build a strong family unit again? To my Muslim and African Brothers, we can discuss the subject of having additional wives because it is written in the Holy Qur’an, but are we competent for that? If you can’t handle one wife, how are you going to handle two wives? Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him) established polygamy because of the decimation of the male inhabitants, which resulted in too many women becoming widows and children becoming orphans. There was a societal rationale for polygamy and Allah (God) made known to Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be unto Him) the occasion and state of affairs under which sex ought to be appropriate. several men are fond of reading a small section of the verses in the Holy Qur’an that assure their salacious wishes so that they can employ another woman other than their spouse and break the harmony and faith in their homes. After a man tears down the splendour of his wife, principally if she is a trustworthy woman, then he wishes to argue he is a man of God. But men fracture women’s trust in God by what they do with God.
We have ruined our nation. We have destroyed our families. Can we get it back? Of course, we can. Allah (God) says: “I am going to make you go through an element of what you have done so that they may well come back.” Come back to what? Revisit that straight pathway that presented to us proper influence in our homes, which we have polluted and lost. Have we had an adequate amount of the hurt of a wrecked home, broken nuptials and bewildered children? If we have, then let us endeavour, again, to make your word your union, reconstruct our marriages and families, rebuild our broken conviction and, in the progression, restore our nation.
I anticipate that we will make a vow to marriage and family and let nobody break up our families. If, as men, we have made blunders, then we must admit and ask for pardon and do not convey any more dishonesty into our dwellings. Females, if your behaviour has driven you to inappropriate deeds, then return to yourself and return home to God and let us restore our lives and our country.
