Quote:So I wanted to know what the Islam thinks about people who marry more than one wife just for the purpose of lust and not for the truly cause of the Islam. Thanks for your reply.Soledad u r most welcome, and I wrote this long post for others also to c, and thanks for u to bring up this question, I have a little story here that happened in the prophet time, one of the sahaba his father died in jihad, after a while he married an older woman than him who was a widow, so the prophet told him: y didnt u marry a young girl like u so that u will play with each other, he told him : o prophet my father left me ten sisters and I am the eldest and they have no one to take care of them so I saw this pious woman is the most suitable, the prophet was pleased with him and told him that it was a good decision, so where is the lust here? I would like to add something here, that the Islamic nation did not begin to collapse until they forgot about their noble purpose
and began falling into the swamp of lust, they did not serve in cause of Allah in any way, they became lucious selfish rulers drowning in their sins, when muslims go back to Allah and do exactly what he ordered we will again be a strong nation, that respect others, the main purpose of spreading Islam and fighting for it is to spread high moral and respect between people and nations and not to spread lucious ideas or dogmas, and the example for this was in spain, it was the begining of the collapse of the islamic nation when they forgot their main purpose and ran after their own lust.
I assume u know this history and read about it, accept my apology if i was too long in my posts and answers.
May Allah accept from me, and forgive
my sins.
