On "Perfecting Women"
In his book Bihishti Zewar, Thanawi has some rules on how to conduct “miscellaneous matters,” and I think some of the rules can be applied to all humankind because a lot of them generally seem to be good advice for anyone to follow. These are universal aspirations of mankind. My favorite ones from the list (p.188) are “think about whatever you do, consider its outcomes, then do it calmly,” “if someone seeks your advice, give the counsel you consider to be best,” and “check your anger as far as possible” (Thanawi 188). These rules seem similar to some of the instruction in the Bible.
