    Assalaam Alaikum @siki

    Please show the females you so desperately wish to remain 'enlightened' by false interpretations and translations, where I am 'grossly in error'.

    I await your response.

      Assalaam Alaikum @siki

      First, point I am a male

      Thanks God, half of the problem is solved.

      Brother , picking out any alternate meaning of your suiting of an arabic word from the dictionary and replacing it in an ayaha? I am afraid , it does not work like that.

        Assalaam Alaikum @siki...

        Im not concerned about your personal opinion of me. Im concerned about your assertion that I am in error as it relates to polygamy / ploygyny.

        Please respond with evidence not your personal sentiment, which has no value as it relates to the Quran.

        I await your response.

          To all the knowledgable sisters at this forum

          I am quite sure , that you are in disagreement with Muslimtruthrvealed on some of her ideas that she has presented in this forum. But i find you all quite, just hushed up, in sisterhood, why is that so?

          Is that an honest way to carry out learning? Isn't that against what GOD ordains, that you should not conceal what your hearts recognize as truth?

          I am sure our sister MTR,,, would pecieve it differently, if one of you come forward and correct her instead of us.

          peace

          siki

          Peace siki ? agree, regardless of ones stance on the issue the silence by the more knowledgeable members is perplexing especially with the out of context grammatical nonsense bandying about. A believer cannot remain silent when obvious mangling of Quran verses are being distorted...e.g.

          O those who believe in the Prophet!

          'Nonsensical, unclear, garbled, cryptic sentences, and does not fit context'?

          33.37......A decree or judgement has brought an end to the (previous) excesses] regarding (marriage to) your FEMALE's, the one SINGLE object of your desire is for YOU to marry one female.

          This part of the ayah is clearly enforcing the mandate that all previous excessive and oppressive practices as it relates to women are over, done, 'nada'


          Please showme the arabic statements for

          1. '3337 And when you say to who God blessed/comforted and eased on him...'
          2. 'him'

          Also lets get the 'basics' first before attempting to argue about something you know nothing about

          We will address Sura 3.144 after clarifying Sura 33.37

          Read in context starting from

          Ya nisaa alnnabiyyi...
          3332 You, the prophet's women (wives)...

          Perhaps translate the passage in a coherent thought or say if you do not agree with wives?

          (&#1634 (&#1635 (&#1636 (&#1637 (&#1638 (&#1639

          3337 Wa-ith taqoolu lillathee anAAama Allahu AAalayhi...

          Lastly, we cannot continue until you first address what you posted earlier...

          uuh excuse me, we are focusing on the arabic of the ayah NOT someone's translation. 'Zaid' s NOT in the arabic its 'zaydun'...a verb..NOT a noun.

          Therefore, since you know Arabic ?grammar and dictionaries? according to German scholars, Hans Wehr et al, answer the simple question...

          Is below person/name or a verb?

          3144 Wama muhammadun illa rasoolun..

          3340 Ma kana muhammadun...

          4829 Muhammadun rasoolu Allahi

            Assalaam Aalikum

            Look folks, this is NOT an argument, nor an exercise in who can translate better or who knows arabic.

            The topic is 'Number of Wives'.

            I addressed the ayah Sura 4.3 from the Quranic Arabic grammar, then gave supporting references from the Quran from Sur'a 33.37 & 24.32 and 33.50.

            ALL of my references clearly suggest and make it clear that Allah does NOT support the practice of polygamy / polygyny in regards to the Quran's instruction.

            Now, you are free to enlist the assistance of anyone you choose to refute what I have shown from the Quran, its fine.

            In fact, I host a room on www.paltalk.com 'Quran Says No Polygamy No Polygyny No Pimping'

            Your invited to discuss the topic here or there.

            I await your response.

              salam muslimthreadrevealed.

              you forge lies against allah with your claims that polygyny is not supported.

              allah exposes lies with the truth.

                Again, its obvious you do NOT study the Quran in the language of the Quran.

                Nisa does NOT mean 'wives'

                When Allah refer's to 'wives' Allah uses the term 'Imraatan'

                When Allah refers to (a gender neutral reference) 'mates' Allah uses the term 'azwajan'

                Now again before I choose to engage you any further, lets get the basics down first.

                Im still awaiting a response to my request regarding your translation of 33.37

                Please showme the arabic statements for

                1. '3337 And when you say to who God blessed/comforted and eased on him...'
                2. 'him'

                      Greeting@Muslimtruthrevealed,

                      OK I'll be nice and ignore the know it all pseudo-intellectual comments.

                      I posted...

                      Ya nisaa alnnabiyyi...
                      3332 You, the prophet's women (wives)...

                      The prophet's women (wives, plural in parentheses) whereas imraatu when referring to one.

                      Also was posted the entire context from 3332-37 including...

                      3337 Wa-ith taqoolu lillathee anAAama Allahu AAalayhi...

                      Do you disagree prophets had more than one woman/wife?

                      Also, why avoid not answering a simple question; is below person/name or a verb?

                      3144 Wama muhammadun illa rasoolun..

                      3340 Ma kana muhammadun...

                        And what about this? Would you translate it as "wife" even before deciding to enter into Nikah?

                          I hope it is admitted that divorce is given only to wife and not to mother and sister.
                          Pl see 6501,04 who are being given divorce "Nisa" or Imraatan.

                            Peace Mazhar,

                            Good points above -- always read Quran in context and cross-reference to get best meaning.

                              When Allah refers to (a gender neutral reference) 'mates' Allah uses the term 'azwajan'

                              This too is a wrong perception;

                              If "azwajan" is merely "mate" and not 'wife' how has she been made pregnant?

                                majnoon dhimmi.

                                      Do you disagree prophets had more than one woman/wife?

                                      Why do you avoid answering a simple question; is below person/name or a verb? Yes/No will suffice.

                                        This too is a wrong perception;

                                        If "azwajan" is merely "mate" and not 'wife' how has she been made pregnant?

                                        @Mazhar "azwajan" is NOT in the arabic you posted!

                                        I see which means 'from the female mates/wives', there is the 3rd person, feminine pronoun 'ha' affixed to the words 'min' and 'zawja'

                                        Now lets stay on topic...'Number of Wives'....

                                          Do you disagree prophets had more than one woman/wife?

                                          Assalaam Alaikum @Nun...

                                          Im not avoiding anything, personally I dont have to answer any question. Thus I reserve the right to respond to those questions and inquiries that specific to the topic and conducive to informing the audience. If you wish to discuss the 'Muhammadun' of the Quran, create a thread, I will participate.

                                          O those who believe in the Prophet! We have made lawful to you thy wives to whom you have paid their dowers; and those whom you have control of leading to the right/blessings whom Allah has assigned to you; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with you; and ANY BELIEVING WOMAN WHO DEDICATES HER SOUL TO THE PROPHET IF THE PROPHET WISHES TO WED HER;- THIS ONLY FOR YOU / yastankihaha/ khalisatan/ , AND NOT FOR THE BELIEVERS (AT LARGE); We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the those whom they have control of leading to the right/blessings;- in order that there should be no difficulty for you. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
