Quote:The real story should be "How to be successful at Polygany" because even the salaf of this deen had some marital problems. Some sahaabas were married alot of times, and our mothers(The Wives of the Prophet) showed some jelousy at times. Yet they never came out against Polygamy nor did they try to find new ways to sercumvent the established way like todays late-commers to islam have tried... and Im not saying anyone here is trying to do that but these people they are out there" The polygamy haters"amoungst women and men muslims and non-muslims alike. But this issues has already been delt with there are a host of fataawa on this issue. and Finally Our prophet said" there is not a Prophet or messenger except they informed their nation about all matters which would bring benefit and all matters which would cause harm to them" reported by at-Tirmithee My last statement is <b>Al-Hamdullillahi rabbil alameen</b>
akhi, masha'Allah, if this post is in reference to the questionnaire and anthology, i think you are misunderstanding the purpose of the above-mentioned project. the purpose is <b>NOT</b> to add to the negative, biased view of polygyny in Islam already being propagated in the world. <b>THE POINT IS TO SHED A POSITIVE LIGHT ON POLYGYNY IN THE SHADE OF THE QUR'AAN AND SUNNAH, BY FOCUSING ON THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF THOSE WITHIN OUR UMMAH WHO HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING POLYGYNOUS MARRIAGES</b>.
And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guide us in our affairs and keep us upon the Straight Path. Ameen.
