Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.
Quote:I actually read Miz Aziz's book & I recommend that all Muslims invest their time & money into it. Personally, for me, it just confirmed what I thought all along (<b>that polygyny is a form of adultery</b>),
Please don’t let us start on “<i>adultery thing</i>”, let alone the priests of your Church talk about sexual abuse and ‘<b>real adultery’</b>,… if the Christians are not satisfied with polygyny, then why on earth the leaders of Christianity are roaming around looking for more <b>illegal partners </b> like what Jimmy Swaggart have done few years ago, a man who have written dozen of books speaking strongly against sinful sexual acts, and yet he himself cheated on his wife and was caught with a prostitute.
Before trying to enlighten us that Jimmy Swaggart (<i>and many other Christians preachers and priest who were involved of similar acts</i>) are actually <b>NOT TRUE CHRISTIANS</b>, let me save your time and tell you that we are not going to believe you because protestant leaders don’t consider YOU too as a catholic to be a true believer, so God alone knows the truth.
Meanwhile, you can do some search on the board to find our responses to your allegation. we have talked about this like millions of times.
Quote:but if Muslims are going to advocate it, I guess it should be done in a liveable manner that all parties on earth are satisfied with. Miz Aziz seems happy & is a great role model for all Muslims that are pro-polygyny.
This matter is to be left totally to the people who are involved in polygynous marriages,<b> it is none of our business actually. </b>
Quote:She never claims to be a scholar & constantly states that any mistake in the book is of her own fault & not a reflection of Allah (SWT) or Islam.
Neither do the Muslim scholars give credits to themselves after writing books or issuing an Islamic ruling, they will humbly admit the same thing, that if anything they’ve said was wrong, it is due to their limitation as human beings, but if they’ve said anything right, it is only because of Allah’s guidance. This is the teaching of our <b>prince of peace MUHAMMAD pbuh </b>, that we should be humble and always remember that we are nothing without Allah’s help.
Quote:One interesting point to note is that in her intro, she dissects the Ayahs pertaining to the issue & mentions that polygyny is the ideal marital state in Islam & monogamy is the secondary command. What's the consensus around here? Agree or disagree?
Well, for me it doesn’t really matter, the thing is that if you are involved in a polygynous marriage, then all parties have to do their best to abide by Allah's rules, only then where you can be blessed as sister Poly and her family including her sister-wife. May Allah strength their Iman. Ameen.
Sister Poly… <b>your book is just amazing. Mash a Allah.</b>

Wael.
