    Dear friends let us just analyse this word from 3359 alone

    How come one can read it as one word "Azwajaka". Please pay attention to alphabets. Peace and love.

      Salaam,
      I have voted for "as one as one can manage" and remember that managing means, be there for her as her husband in all walks of life, supporting her financially and sexually as well as companionably, strong enough to provide for her needs....any example there? angel
      Not like wealthy Arabs who can only give their wives enough money to shop and are unable to satisfy them, thus leaving many sexually frustrated.

              Really I fell down laughing from the chair. It is very true if you go to the court here you will find most of divorce cases are filed by women on the above said allegations.

                    Please don?t break the wall a fortune of knowledge is buried under it.
                    The women of this country are very bold and strong they know how to get divorce secondly they have very good jobs and don?t care about men superiority at all and the government is very helpful.

                                Siki, are you up for hard work? Let me be the first one to start it and analyse this word linguistically. All on this board and everywhere are insistent that it is "Azwajika". In this verse 3359 and preceeding 3350 it stands for wives of prophet. Hence, grammatically all asume it to be a noun. Does anybody on this forum differ from this conclusion?

                                  Assalaam Alaikum Brotha Badar

                                  Azwaji-ka means YOUR mates or spouses, the 'Ka' is a 2nd person pronoun, denoting now, present tense NOT past tense.

                                  This ayah and word was appropriate during the time of the Prophet, but the Prophet is no longer here.

                                  Nor is it referring to a plurality of multiple wives.

                                  If it was referring to the Prophet it would be Azwaji-ha, which is a 3rd person reference, referring to someone or something who is NOT present or in the past. It would also be preceded by a preposition like 'ida', denoting a past tense reference.

                                    So in nutshell, you are saying that, this word, if it is a word. It is a combination of a noun and pronoun. That is Azwaji, a noun and Ka a pronun. Am I understanding you correctly? Is this how everybody understands it as well. Peace and love.

                                          Yes, Your understanding is correct in regards to my observations.

                                          How everyone else understands it, is beyond my perceptions.

                                          As Allah states 'If you follow the majority of people on the earth, they will lead you away from the path of Allah'
