UDL: "The Women"

“We have on one side the concern for our life, the form of life that we will take; how it will be influenced by elements and factors in the environment. On the other hand, we have the need to express our human form, our human nature. We see that urge to express being depicted in male form. The need to defend ourselves against the bad influences, we see as being a mother’s role, or a woman’s role.

What we are hoping for is that men who have given up their responsibility to support society, have just become satisfied with welfare, or satisfied just being idle, can be encouraged to become the supporters of their women, their wives, their sisters and supporters of their family. (We are hoping that women will see the need for them to assume a leadership role in bringing society back to those fundamental things, those things that make for good life; things that made good supporters for life over thousands and thousands of years. What we are referring to is the moral content of life, the quality of life, the concerned that human beings should have for each other. We believe that these sentiments are first formed in society because of nature, mother nature, and what she offers society, what she gives her children. We believe those concerns are, basically, nourished by females. But in public life, men begin to speak for those concerns. We think men lose their vision, lose their sensitivity and that there comes a time when women have to lead us back to protect the fundamental things that make for good life.” Pp. 16-17 “The Women Who Call to the Issue” Imam W.
