The textile industry...the horse

Textile industry

The people of the West have set an example for science and art, how to apply craftsmanship to things and make them things dozens of times better than they were.

And as they did with things, they did with living things.

This is what the people of the West did to the Arabian Persians.
The Arabian horse that they have bred today is many times superior to the raw Arabian horse, in speed and patience. And that is an industry.
After making it, this horse was almost worth as much as it was heavy in weight.

- The famous knights: Mahmoud and Bahram

I read in the history of Aga Khan, the late sheikh, that he was forced, during World War II, to sell two of his best horses, “Mahmoud” and “Bahram.” Experts estimated a price of between 175,000 and 200,000 pounds!! They were some of the horses he had by descent, and he spent 20 years breeding them from pure Arab blood in the English countryside, from 1921, until World War II broke out in 1939. Some of them won the championship in the great “Derby” race three times in a row. He was told about that high price, so he said, “I am only selling a pure lineage of blood descended from a fancier mare to a more intelligent mare, and he will descend.”

I read this and it came to my mind: If man were to reproduce like this, then geniuses of every kind would be produced.

- Genius is different

I said geniuses are of every type, because genius comes in many categories: it is genius in one of the attributes of the body, or genius in one of the attributes of the mind, or the soul.

Geneticists have made it clear that heredity does not go back to the blood, as the Aga Khan said, and as people say, in hadiths that have been the norm of speaking over the centuries, and have preceded every tongue, even the tongue of scholars who are first in this regard.

Heredity goes back, as we have often said in what we write here, to chromosomes and the genes in them, which are the origins of creation that are found in a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm. They fuse and form a human being, along with the plan according to which he will be created.

In breeding, from one generation of animals to another, selection takes place by which the lineages advance. It is presented in one characteristic or interconnected characteristics, generally related to the racehorse: lightness of body, deep abdomen, and strength of the legs, all of which in the ring lead to reaching the goal before others.

Dressing horses for racing is different from dressing them for light traction. And do not let them wear heavy traction.

(The heavy Shire horse is the largest of the heavy horses. It is bred in the central regions of England and is distinguished by the presence of tufts of hair at its legs.)

(The heavy Belgian horse, descended from European parents. It has great tensile strength. It is the one whose forefathers rode medieval knights including...
Their bodies are made of heavy armor.)
