A prostitute should get 100 lashes.
A man should have no more than 4 wives.
If your wife disobeys you, reprimand her, and if that doesn’t work, beat her.
If you want to divorce your wife, say, “I divorce thee,” 3 times then wait 3 months.

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and unto God what is God’s.
When the enemies of Jesus tried to trick him into saying that it was wrong to pay tribute to Caesar, Jesus cleverly evaded the question by saying, “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and unto God what is God’s.”

A civilization which gives no weight in public life to faith, is incapable of achieving for mankind the happiness that men seek. Indeed, a civilization which so regards human life is bound to bring upon mankind all the calamities which have befallen our world in the recent centuries. - Muhammad Husayn Haykal (1888-1956)

If a Christian nation fails, we look to its political and economic system for an explanation, but when a
Muslim state fails, it is only because, as V. S. Naipaul put it, "men had failed the
faith." Disaster in a Christian nation leads to a search for a new political form; disaster in a Muslim
one leads to a reinvigoration of the faith.
