          WORDS OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD
        
        
          The first four of the following sayings of the
        
        
          Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, stress
        
        
          the high standard of conduct which a man is meant
        
        
          to maintain in his relations with women:
        
        
          Only a man of noble character will honor
        
        
          women, and only a man of base intentions
        
        
          will dishonor them.

          you.

          No believing man should hate a believing
        
        
          woman, for if there is any habit of hers that
        
        
          displeases him, there will be some other habit
        
        
          of hers which pleases him.
