Understanding Polygamy.

For this topic I could give a lecture about it but I wouldn't be able to explain it better than someone who has studied Islam. So this post is like a mid-break so that those who view this blog might have a better understanding. My apologies for not doing this earlier for those who were confused.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I have decided to split this blog up into two parts and the two parts are of such: one part is all about good character and the other part is about remedies for illnesses. The second part is based on a book which I am reading at the moment titled 'Healing With The Medicine Of The Prophet(Peace be upon him)' written by the knowledgeable scholar  named ibn Qayyim. Islam is about balance as The Prophet(Peace be upon him) walked a moderate path. The extremist destroys himself. To be moderate and mild I have decided to make one post about good character and the second about health each week. This way moderation is being practiced and beneficial knowledge on both topics is being shared without over burdening any of the readers who view this blog.

  1. This video has confused me more than it probably should have. I still do not understand why the Prophet felt it was necessary to marry a bunch of women at once. Does the Qur'an not state whether polygamy is right or wrong? This topic seems very wish washy.

    1. Hmm, The Prophet (Peace be upon him) didn't marry any woman unless he was Commanded to from Allah. Once a woman went to him and offered herself for marriage but he put his head down indicating that he didn't want too. Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon him) (Abraham) also had more than one wife, he had two. It's to take care of women who were struggling, I'll send a video that explains it a bit more :) Also Allah States in the Qur'an that we can marry up to 4 women but if we cannot do justice between them then let us marry only one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFuS3MR6_yQ This video should help clarify :)
