If you're familiar with Islam it's probably impossible for you not to have heard of polygamy in Islam
This practice is completely and explicitly
permitted in the Quran and the other Islamic Scripture Islam allows a maximum of four wives which is weird because
Muhammad had according to Islamic scripture much more than four wives, but let's come to that in a bit
Having four wives is not mandatory or anything
It is allowed in a Quran first chapter 4 verse 3 where it says marry those that please you two or three or four?
Like it's tomatoes and continues, but if you fear that you won't be just then marry one
This refers to being financially just as elaborated in a hadith all those your right hand possesses
Sex slaves that of course is totally just in the almighty allah site
So the quran mandates that it is every man's divine right to marry for women this of course is in complete contradiction
With the values of other cultures, especially with our modern values
especially with Western European values Islam stands here in our time is pretty much the only major religion the only major
Culture that has a set system and an explicit permission for polygamy
I wouldn't even have a big problem with this whole polygamy thing and would simply consider it a cultural difference if Islam was not a
political system that
Imposes its culture on others and wants everyone to adopt it fiercely
We can see that polygamy was apparently practiced massively in pre-islamic Arabia
According to Islamic Scripture, some men had more than 10 or 20 wives because there was no limit
It was people's own business
Well men's own business some sources suggested
Polyandry a woman marrying multiple wives was also practiced an important thing to note is also that in pre-islamic Arabia
Marriage was not a sacred
concept a marriage was simply a
Contract between women and men that was of course not the case with Islam which interferes with every aspect of your life
Such as what to wear and how to wear it when Islam arrived marriage suddenly became a sacrament that there are rules for
We have Islamic evidence. Hadith that
suggests that Muhammad limited the number of wives to four and even told people to choose
For among their wives and divorced the rest. How convenient right
Women are only possession Tomatoes before and briefly after his self-proclaimed prophethood
Muhammad had only one wife. Although his wife was also his filthy. Rich employer. Of course. He had to stay with her
this is also very interesting because according to Islam women were completely oppressed before Islam and
Girls would be buried right after birth
It's a bit weird that men had twenty wives and Muhammad's wife was rich
anyway
after the death of his first wife Mohammed started rocking the women of
Arabia and expanded his inventory to a dozen wives plus sex slaves
having sex with each one of them in one night was not a problem for him because Mohammed had apparently
the sexual strength of
30 men. Yeah, let's not be jealous. If we come to the reason of Mohammed having more than four wives
Which was the limit for every normal Muslim
This was a special permission for Mohammed from the Almighty merciful Allah in Quran chapter
33 verse
50 the Almighty Allah tells Muhammad that he can take any
Believing woman who offers herself to the Prophet and marry her and that this is only for him
Excluding other believers so that there would be no discomfort for Muhammad
Do you see how weird this sounds?
Apparently a lot assigned his prophet to enjoy sex fully and wholly and cared a lot about Muhammad's sexual desires
So much that when his Quran first was revealed his child bride. Aisha made a very interesting remark
I feel that your Lord Hastings in fulfilling your wishes and desires
Some modern apologists suggest that Muhammad was a very important person and had to marry princesses and women of very high
Importance but really Allah made this world
He set a rule for all people and he made a little fix here for Muhammad doesn't look
Well-organized and almighty at all
But what do I know coming back to normal polygamy limited to four wives?
For the poor regular Muslim man, and not the glorious prophet with his eleven wives
It looks very much like polygamy exists in Islam because it existed in its previous
culture in pre-islamic Arabia
It also looks like Islam's marriage system
Again is not compatible with core values of other cultures at all
Which is interesting since allies supposed to be the Almighty God
Who created everyone and everything and Islam is supposed to be the perfect system for all mankind?
until eternity
It was outlandish for a common Westerner in the 10th century and it still has the same status which likely
Enforced and still enforces the view that Islam is just a foreign culture. That should better stay out
Just looking at researches and current statistics. We can see that polygamy is nowadays practiced among a minority of Muslims
Although it used to be a common form of marriage not too long ago
Evidently monogamy is becoming the norm even in the Muslim world in our time and in the future yet
Here is the Islamic Scripture that is supposed to be perfect until eternity telling us that we can take 2 or 3 or 4
Tomatoes especially in today's time where we also globally find common sense and conclude that a woman and a man are pretty much equal
It is unthinkable for a man to have 4 women
that all belong to the man for women that have to stay with the man and can't just divorce but a man can
whenever he wants for women that have no say in whether the men can take other wives or not and
Here at this point. I want to briefly come to some westernized
moderate Muslim positions
Apologetics and respond to them before ending this episode number one a woman can decide if her husband can take another wife or not
This claim is circulated and supported by many moderate Muslims, but it is entirely baseless
There is no such thing found in Islamic scripture at all and therefore Islamic scholars agree that a husband doesn't have to ask his wife
Anything he can simply go and take up to four wives and the wife has to live with that
A woman can divorce if the man takes more wives false a woman can't simply initiate a divorce in Islam
She can only ask authorities for divorce if the man has clear faults like being religiously weak being sexually impotent
Being a heretic or a non-muslim and so on polygamy is not a valid cause because it is explicitly allowed in Islam
Islam wanted to end polygamy gradually, come on
the Almighty Allah who made this war didn't have the power to come and say this is the form of marriage period
The Almighty Allah thought it would be a great idea to end polygamy gradually while allowing it explicitly in the Quran
Lastly the Quran implies that you can't be just with all four women and therefore
Monogamy is the way this is the stupidest argument. I have seen on this subject and yet the most widely circulated one
It is usually based on the Islamic suggestion to be just between your wives and verse hundred 29 in chapter 4
Where the Quran says you will never be able to be equal between wives even if you should strive to do so the moderate Muslim
Rationalizes here and says that because the Quran requires
Justice between women but also says later that you can never have equality between your wives
polygamy is implicitly wrong and
monogamy is implicitly right but as pointed out earlier the justice order in an earlier verse refers to
Financial justice, and that is also explicitly supported in a related hadith
It has nothing to do with Tweetie new wife's completely equally these moderate Muslims
Also usually don't read the rest of the verse they cite
So let's take this Quran for us again and look at it
Completely and you will never be able to be equal between your wives even if you should strive to do so
So do not incline completely toward one and leave another one hanging
See Allah has no problem with polygamy at all. Neither. Does he have any problem with the feelings of women?
How could he his holy prophet his most favored human was a man who?
Reportedly ordered a man who lost his wife who divorce his wife simply because the man's father didn't like the wife
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Omar a woman was my wife and I loved her but Omar hated her
He said to me divorce her but I refused
Omar then went to the Prophet and mentioned that to him the Prophet said divorce her what a merciful was an empathetic Allah
What a great prophet
so the next time a moderate Muslim or anyone else tells you that Islam is just with women and that monogamy is the way
You can call both on that. Thanks for watching
