Re: Rape and emotions
I consider people with no shame as dead people…Now when I say the word ‘shame’ it is solely based on one’s psychology…People with no shame have no sense of belonging…They cannot take for themselves something completely devoted to them and them solely…Untainted by the movements and reverberations of other entities…
Rape is more than just forceful coitus…It is the mental and psychological snatching, ripping and tearing apart of something precious to those who are alive…It is their self…A rape is devastation of the ‘self’…Now the ‘self’ itself is a psychological term…It is a mental denotation of something that makes us who we are…
When I say I am different from others, I am expressing my self…When I say I cannot be controlled by anyone, I am expressing my self…When I say I am independent of anyone’s control over me, I am expressing my self…The self is mental but it what defines who I am…
In the western lifestyle, the ’ free and liberated’ woman goes around sleeping with various partners…She considers it her ‘self’…For her to satisfy her lust, she sacrifices, according to us, the ‘self’ that is made up of her belonging to a family, a person, father, mother, tribe, family, nation e.t.c. in other words, according to us, she has no shame…She gives her self to whoever she deems fit not bonded to any other entity…She has no sense of belonging soul and heart to anything whether a life partner, husband, family, e.t.c., in other words, there is nothing to define her shame…She can be with one partner one day and another the next day…She has no sense of being devoted to anyone or anything…
In our culture, this shame, purely a mental word, is strongly defined…It is what shapes our women and gives them that essence of desirability, their ability to be solely and wholely devoted to something…Whether it’s a life partner, family, tribe nation, religion, she is solidly defined as being part of something or the other without the intervention of any other entity…
Rape is an assault on that sense of ‘self’ or shame…It is an attack on the very bonds and attachments that define our ladies, their sense of shame and their sense of belonging wholly and solely to something or the other whether a life partner, family e.t.c…
That is why, girls from families who have a well endowed sense of belonging are cherished…(Well at least by me, and I am sure others as well who subscribe to the notion of devotion)…It is because these girls have the capability to be wholly and solely devoted to something, their sense of shame strong and their sense of ‘self’ well developed…It denotes a living will behind their actions to be devoted to something, life partner, family e.t.c…Most girls from good families with deep roots in their noble heritage of traditions, would rather kill or kill themselves than be subjected to rape…So strong is their sense of utter devotion…And men like myself seek, cherish and desire such women from such families…And it is these kinds of women that give womenkind a good name…
So for a woman, who can easily give up her sense of ‘self’ and shame like a prostitute, it means she is dead…Spiritually…She has no sense of devotion, no sense of belonging, she is the kind that gives a bad name to womankind…She surrenders her sense of ‘self’ and shame to anyone…And the reason that a woman would be looked down if she was raped and she didn’t give a hoot, was because she so easily gave up her ‘self’ without a struggle…That means anyone can come by and take her ‘self’ as he wants…
Wallahi, I am amazed at my religion and my Prophet :saw:…He said, “For he, who has no shame, let him do whatever he wants…”
To many of you this will not mean much…But just try to understand, that this sense of shame, a purely mental and psychological thing, is tied so closely to my faith Islam…It is this shame that defines a Muslim…
Didn’t mean to digress, but the bottom line is, this sense of shame is tied to the core of the human psyche…It is from this that devotion bubbles up…Devotion to whatever, life partner, family, parents e.t.c…The person not having this is dead…He is cheap…Apart from having a cheap sense of living, their affection, dislike, love, taste and everything else is cheap too…For they have no devotion to anything…
So that’s why, I guess there is such a blockage and severe penalty in Islam for rape…For it ravages a woman’s sense of ‘self’…That’s why women are meant to cover up, so the desire to rape is lessened…
Wallahoalam…
