    Really I fell down laughing from the chair.
    laugh laugh

    Now you notice what I wrote wow

    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.

    I hope they dont end up in front a Judge who gives this verdict likr A-A
    ?If the gentleman had married one woman, went on to marry another woman, then married a third woman, all three without giving any one of them a talaq, this gentleman is well within the hudood, he has a right accorded to him by Allah to have more than one wife. To speak ill of his conduct is gheebat, his conduct is that of a momin.? brickwall

      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.

        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.
        peace

        Peace,

        Good point sister Farida!!! Men are too greedy, they want too much and cannot manage it ;D

                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.

                Badar

                Badar!

                How about you doing some hard work , and analyse this arabic word.

                  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'

                                  Only, one so far saying that Azwajika is a noun followed by personal pronoun. Azwaji + Ka. Is the no answer from anybody else, suggest all in agreement. If not we need some descenting opinions. Lot of friends on this forum have Arabic as their native language. Peace and love.

                                    my grammer is not great, but in arabic if he were speaking of singular then he would say zawjatika.......azwajaka is plural
                                    also the word 2ojorahoNNA which comes after the word azwajaka also implies plural form which the NNA is used for plural , if it were singular it would be 2ajriha............ in 3350 again if it were singular it would bi lizawjatika there would be no hamza or an alf infront of the L.......as in li2azwajika

                                          Azwaji-ka means YOUR mates or spouses, the 'Ka' is a 2nd person pronoun,

                                          So far so good...

                                          denoting now, present tense NOT past tense.

                                          A prnoun has no past or present...just as a noun. If you mean the whole sentence, then this is redundant since the verse is addressing the prophet at that time when he was alive, which we know, and are not deducing this information of "past address" from the construction of the verse.
