as salam a`alaman itab`alhoda
John had posted under this thread a topic discussing our beloved Messenger's marital life and circumstances. I deleted it due to him going off limit. As a Muslimah I was concerned to be held accountable before Allah for leaving someone talk in an ill manner about the Messenger. Yet I made Istikharah (prayer to consult Allah). Although I am positive that John is not here to learn or listen. But he is not the only non Muslim guest we have. And again out of my duty as a Muslimah, I found to post a reply explaining bit by bit the points he raised which I will summarize in a nut shell since I was the who deleted it.
1. He brought forth the issue of the Messenger marrying more than 4 and keeping them even after Allah revealed Quran limiting men to only 4 wives.
2. He brought hadeeth that the Messenger of Allah used to go around his wives.
3. He also brought forth ayahs of Jihad and our relation with non Muslims
Insh a Allah in the following post I will cover the 1 and 2
Later Insh aAllah to give u all a chance to benefit will discuss the 3rd
May Allah makes this post a useful knowledge and accepts it in His name,
Well I also had banned John but just out of being fair to Allah, will let him come back. We are only here to learn and help others learn
