I only clicked for the sister's lovely smile. Allah knows best

[asiyabadmus]

Masha Allah, we must obey the rules of Allah. As women, may Allah make it easy for us

[AyubKhan-mdkm]

Islam also came to safe guard the rights of women and guide them..
Polygyny is allowed as it makes sure no women is not recognised with respect when she conducts a relationship with a man.. as we can see how so many women outside the Islamic understanding are not more then mistresses or just used by married men and it's problematic for the society to give a respectful standing to women who live in a society where man is allowed only one wife...

Also why Islam does not allow one woman to have many husbands, imagine if the husbands wish to have many children from that one wife.. it would be disadvantageous to the woman's health

[jocelynburrell]

A serious Responsibility of taking care of women and told tteat them well

As much as I liked this lecture, it's amazing how it is very similar to what the Bible teaches but unfortunately Christians don't know because we don't read the Holy Book.
The bible clearly teaches that you'll love the child who obeys you. Jesus Christ taught us that in Matthew.
Thank you for teaching the truth.

Those who bash and criticize Islam, should look in to their own culture. Their is no concept of modesty, chastity and fidelity in these cultures. It may be shocking to know that till 1964, it was legal to swim naked in public swimming pools in US.

My husband took a third wife without me to know, i agreed to be second one just couse i loved him so much and i though i do the right thing.As i found out i am the third, i was heartbrokend, he lied to me, he brought her to my home, without even asking me.I cried everyday, couse they tried to force change my mind.The woman was very offensive to me, she attacked my intimacy and my privacy in a very bad way.... I changed my mind about polygamy and i dont want never again marry a man who wants more than one wifes... This experience changed my so much that i even though to leave islam, i did not and dont will couse i know the problem are the, ,people,, not our religion... Just i will be rather single all my life as to again go through all this again... Theory is ever simpler and nicer than a practical side of a topic, every one who ist open for polygamy shot think about that to not damage lifes of others or themselfs

Yes those who disbelievers ( past Present and Future) will bear the burden of their disbelief and those have done good deed will prepare a good place in Paradise for themselves.30-44

[abdul-haiymuhammad]

By Allah, marriage means MONOGAMY in the Qur'an and Hadith. In the Qur'an we read,

"THEN marry women of your choice, two, three, four, BUT IF you fear you cannot due justice between them, then one or what posses rightfully. ( 4:3)

Notice the word is " فَإِنْ" which does not mean "but if" nor "AND if" is no "if" in Arabic. If you type in فَإِنْ in the Hans Wehr dictionary, it says "and then". There is no "if" no where. This is Arabic. So it should say :

Then marry women of your choice, two, three, four AND THEN fear you cannot due justice between them, then one or what posses rightfully.

This is the version in ARABIC. So it means MONOGAMY. What you possess rightfully, which is "ma malakat aymanukum" is synonymous to married because it says in 4:25 to MARRY what you possess rightfully of the female servant. Not slaves. Refer to فَتَاة which says a female servant in lane's lexicon. Simply type it in Arabic.

As for the Hadith, notices that nisaa means "women". Not wives. Type in نِسَائِهِ and it says women in Bukhari 1 Vol 5 Num 282. Simply go into sunnah.com and go to Bukhari under "Bathing (Ghusl). In Arabic it says women Not wives. In every Hadith, it means women. Not wives. Zawj means husband and wife and azwaj is plural for husbands and wives. It means a "pair" of masculine and feminine and in context and it relates to spouse. Hence, husband and wife. See verse 2:25. So nisaa means women and Zawj/azwaj means husband and wife or husbands and wives.

So in conclusion, the Qur'an and Hadith says monogamy, meaning one husband and wife.

And Allah knows best

Every community has surplus number of females, who are widows, divorcees and girls who have passed the prime age and nearing menopause and some not so attractive.
