High Value Man in Islam

One of the terms that you'll hear a lot in the red pill community when they're having their discussions about men and women is this term high value male. It's what all men are supposed to want to be and what all women are supposed to want. Never mind the landscape of assumptions in which this discussion takes place. The definition provided by red pillars as to what constitutes a high value male should make us uncomfortable as Muslims. Because for us, of course, what makes a man a high value male is that Allah loves him.

There's no greater source of value than this. And if loves someone, as we know, he will test them frequently with poverty, persecution, illness, trauma, all conditions in life that red pill people would consider devaluing. But if the man perseveres in his patience and in his iman and keeps his mind focused on the Allah will facilitate good for him in this world and in the next. That may mean worldly comfort and it may not, but certainly contentment and happiness. And such a man to us is a high value male.

In the red pill community, he's not. Remember the story when a man passed by Rasulullah and Rasulullah asked their opinion of that man. They said, oh, he's one of the best of us. He's a very high status. If he tried to intercede on anyone's behalf, his intercession would be accepted, and he could offer a proposal of marriage to any woman and she would accept.

Okay. What the red pill people would call a high value male, an alpha male. And then another man passed by and asked their opinion of that man. And they said, he's he doesn't really have any status. If he tried to intercede on someone's behalf, no one would listen to him and there's no woman that would accept the proposal of marriage from this guy.

And what did Rasulullah say? He said that that one man, that man that they had disparaged had more value in the sight of Allah than an entire earth full of men like the first man. In the red pill community, the second man would be a beta, a nobody. Not someone who would be sought after, not someone who would be regarded as high value at all. He would have no value because, of course, their because, of course, the criterion for value in their eyes is material value.

Said that Allah loves the servant who is pious, he's self sufficient, and he's obscure or he's hidden. Self sufficient here means that he's content with what he has, minimal in his possessions, minimal in his earthly material desires. You don't notice him. He sits at the edge of the gathering. He doesn't draw attention to himself.

In other words, according to the red pill idea, he's a beta. Of course, the red pill people will say, okay. Allah may love that kind of a man, but women don't. That's not going to attract women. Ironically, appointing women as the arbiters of what gives a man value.

But then look at the advice of Rasulullah when he gave the advice about the reasons for which men choose their brides, her beauty, her wealth and status, her lineage, and her religiousness. And his advice was to marry the woman who is religious, which means to marry a woman who values in a man what Allah values in a man. So why should you seek to become the type of man who is sought for by women that advised you not to marry? You see the trap that shaitan has set for you? The trick he's playing on you?

You accept as the definition of high value, the type of man whom women who are not ideal for you to marry want, which makes you pursue the dunya to become that type of man to be high value as it is defined by red pillars I e rich. And in your pursuit of the dunya, you become a low value man in the sight of Allah and in the sight of the women that our prophet advised us to marry. That's called you blade yourself.
