Well...........~sighs~
I used to remember when polygamy was for honourable reasons and done with the utmost intention and goal to please Allah and relieve the growing Muslim community by helping widowed, divorced, and unmarried women past their age.
Now that’s a great reason to maybe give the practice a thought. It is an allowed practice, but for extreme reasons and it is not encouraged in Islam, I don't even want to get into too much detail on this, since Dan has already summed that up so well.
Some people need to stop questioning a woman's Iman when she refuses to share her husband. People are not automatically charity currency.
Muslimah, About my grandfather, I am not mad at him insha'Allah. I wish he didn't hurt my grandmother when she needed him the most and was pregnant with his first child. I can't even imagine being in that situation, just thinking about it does unpleasant things to me (it hurts) I shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.
Quote:U think any relation could sustain without Divine support?
I'm passed the fact that its all Halal for Men, Whatever rocks their boat.
Quote:Plus when people dedicate the act to Allah for ex when a man takes the intention in re marrying to help, support, provide for a Muslim sister, u think Allah Shall let him down? I don’t think so. Not Allah Whom we all know
The truth is the majority of men who have multiple wives don't even meet the standard thats required of them whether its emotionally, physically or financially. Sometimes it seems as though all they've ever learned of islams permisability for polygamy is only "the fact that they are allowed to" They just don't seem to get passed that. There is more to it than just that!
Quote:She feels not enough of a woman, why do u think u see women going out of their way to bring them back no matter what it takes? It is the female pride. Why he looked at her? What is with her that I don’t have?
How else is a normal functioning red blooded woman supposed to react? "don't look at me now" ~goes ducking~
Quote:On the other hand sometimes a woman is so much attached to a man in a way that could lead to Shirk (minor shirk) shirk is taking associates with Allah.
<b>"And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in peace and tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): Verily in that are signs for those who reflect" (Quran 30:21). </b>
and KhaaLaas insha'Allah enough gushing from me
AstaqfuruAllah
