    LOL! Exactly! I know many men who even if they had the option of marrying more than one wife, wouldn't do it. They say one wife is headache enough, LOL!

    Peace Amina,

    When my husband I were discussing this issue, he did say that to me once, but then quickly retracted this statement after seeing my facial expression voodoo..haha.

    The truth is, both husband and wife are headaches to one another laugh. I've made many sacrifices, and he has had to learn a lot of patience over the years. I find that marriage is like this learning experience that helps us grow as individuals, makes us more patient, and teaches us what it really means to love and care for a person beyond the initial lust and infatuation. We still love and respect one another, but it has not been easy.

          Peace Amina,

          I very much agree! I guess I just laugh at that comment because I know the type of woman I am...I can be confusing at times because...well sometimes I just don't know what I want! I always have my hands in one thing or another One minute I am taking a sewing class, the next minute I have signed up for an Arabic language class, and next week I will probably be interested in learning how decorate cakes. I hardly ever finish anything I start. ;D

          And also about your other comment...you are right. If one marriage is in trouble, moving on to another doesn't solve anything. As a matter of fact, it only creates another problem. I tried to explain this to my ex when he accused me of having eyes for other men. I told him "How in the world does having an affair solve anything? Then I would have TWO men on my hands, and you are more than enough work!"

          -Amina

            Peace Amina,

            I know what you mean. I started guitar lessons back home, and now I have yet to find a new guitar teacher out here. My guitar is sitting lonely in a corner.

                          Peace sister Maha,

                          Peace bro. You suggest the same thing, so whats the problem?

                          No, a man married to multiple women is not same as many men married to same multiple women.

                          You are right. I havent shown you that yet, I apologize for that. So let me show you the verse

                          Forbidden for you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and the sisters of your father, and the sisters of your mother, and the daughters of your brother, and the daughters of your sister, and your foster mothers who suckled you, and your sisters from suckling, and the mothers of your women, and your step-daughters who are in your lodgings from your women with whom you have already consummated the marriage; if you have not consummated the marriage then there is no sin upon you; and those who are in wedlock with your sons who are from your seed, and that you join between two sisters except what has already been done. God is Forgiving, Merciful.

                          How is the above verse evidence that many women are allowed to marry many men?

                          423 prohibited on/over you your mothers w-bnat-km and your girls/daughters and your sisters and your father?s sisters and your mothers sisters w-bnat and girls/daughters the brother w-bnat and girls/daughters the sister and mothers the ones who nursed you and your sisters from the nursing and mothers nisakum/your feminine/women and your step daughters the ones who in your guardianship from nisakum/your feminine/women the ones who entered in them so if not you were entered in them so not blame on/over you and wives your sons the ones who from your loins and that you gathered between the two sisters only what hence passed indeed The God is Forgiving Merciful

                          On the contrary IF prohibited ? between the two sisters? THEN permitted are non-sisters!

                          So you mean that quran is a book for tribal societies? Well then we cannot really use it anymore in our modern western gender-equal society anymore, right?

                          P.s Can you show me where the quran says that it was delivered in the 6th century?

                          No, not what I wrote.

                          It does not say in Qur?an nor did I write; approximate time known by language history (coins, inscriptions).
                          http//ancientcoinsforeducation.org/gallery2/v/Coins+of+Pre-Islamic+Eastern+Cultures/10+Sasanian+Khusru+II.jpg.html

                          His pairs is lawful for him. What has this to do with the nisa discussion?

                          Another translating could be No NISA are lawful to you after this, nor that you change them for pairs, even though you may be attracted by their goodness, except what is maintained by your oath. And God is Watcher over all things.

                          In other words, you cannot exchange NISA with Azwaj.

                          In context, explain pairs and likewise how other than females/nisa can menstruate and give birth?

                          Let me give you the verses where NISA cannot mean women

                          314 Beautified for people {An-Nas} is the love of that which they desire ? of women {An-Nisa?} and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah has with Him the best return

                          Nisa here cannot mean women because Homosexuality would then be justified

                          Cross-reference for consistency and best meaning ?

                          sons (plural)

                          3355 not blame onto them in their fathers and not their sons and not their brothers and not sons their brothers and not sons their sisters and not their feminine/women and not what possess their right hands and be mindful The God indeed The God is on/over each thing witness

                          249 and when We saved you from family Pharaoh afflicting you horrible the punishment slaughtering your sons and letting live nisakum/your feminine/women and in those a trial from your Lord great

                          wal-bnyn/and the masculine/males

                          314 ornament/beautified to al-nas/the humankind love

                          the desires from the feminine/women and the masculine/males
                          and the heaps the stored up from the gold and the silver
                          and the horses the branded
                          and the cattle
                          and the tilled land

                          those provision the life the world
                          and The God with Him best the place of return

                          6100 and they make to God partners the jinn and He created them and they attribute to Him bnyn/masculine/males w-bnat/and girls/daughters without knowledge Glory be to Him and Exalted He of what they attribute

                          37151 that not indeed they from their lie they say
                          37152 walada/born/begot The God and indeed they surely liars
                          37153 has He chosen al-bnat/the girls/daughters on/over al-bnyn/the masculine/males

                          I will come up with other verses soon as well..

                          OK and please first answer above questions posted to you especially on menses and child birth.

                          Peace

                            Noon

                            No, a man married to multiple women is not same as many men married to same multiple women.

                            Please explain why its not the same.

                            How is the above verse evidence that many women are allowed to marry many men?

                            Let me repeat it Forbidden for you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and the sisters of your father, and the sisters of your mother, and the daughters of your brother, and the daughters of your sister, and your foster mothers who suckled you, and your sisters from suckling, and the mothers of your women, and your step-daughters who are in your lodgings from your women with whom you have already consummated the marriage; if you have not consummated the marriage then there is no sin upon you; and those who are in wedlock with your sons who are from your seed, and that you join between two sisters except what has already been done. God is Forgiving, Merciful.

                            Use your brain please. You are not allowed to marry the wife of your biological son, which means that if he wasnt your biological son you could marry her. So the wife ends up having two husbands.

                            On the contrary IF prohibited ? between the two sisters? THEN permitted are non-sisters!

                            Same thing goes from the verse above. IF prohibited between your biological sons THEN permitted are non-biological sons wife!

                            No, not what I wrote.

                            It does not say in Qur?an nor did I write; approximate time known by language history (coins, inscriptions).

                            What have these coins to do with anything? And you basically say that a modern woman like me who doesnt live in a tribal village, should not follow the quran since its not written for me?

                            In context, explain pairs and likewise how other than females/nisa can menstruate and give birth?

                            give me the verses and please answer my question. is being lesbian allowed?

                            sons (plural)

                            3355 not blame onto them in their fathers and not their sons and not their brothers and not sons their brothers and not sons their sisters and not their feminine/women and not what possess their right hands and be mindful The God indeed The God is on/over each thing witness

                            249 and when We saved you from family Pharaoh afflicting you horrible the punishment slaughtering your sons and letting live nisakum/your feminine/women and in those a trial from your Lord great

                            wal-bnyn/and the masculine/males

                            314 ornament/beautified to al-nas/the humankind love

                            the desires from the feminine/women and the masculine/males
                            and the heaps the stored up from the gold and the silver
                            and the horses the branded
                            and the cattle
                            and the tilled land

                            those provision the life the world
                            and The God with Him best the place of return

                            6100 and they make to God partners the jinn and He created them and they attribute to Him bnyn/masculine/males w-bnat/and girls/daughters without knowledge Glory be to Him and Exalted He of what they attribute

                            37151 that not indeed they from their lie they say
                            37152 walada/born/begot The God and indeed they surely liars
                            37153 has He chosen al-bnat/the girls/daughters on/over al-bnyn/the masculine/males

                            I didnt understood the point of the cross references. Please just tell me in short, how I desire women.

                            Peace

                                Hmmm...just because we are not quoting from the Qur'an or having a deep discussion using every Arabic term doesn't mean we are getting off topic...did I not just use a personal situation to refer to the topic we are discussing? I think I did.

                                But fine...I will leave the thread alone so that you can participate.

                                  Peace Fallen Angel,

                                  Thank you for your reply in post 224. I take your point about the husband having to ask permission. However, even if a woman has the opportunity to be consulted, I fear her heart will have been broken by the sheer knowledge that her husband would like an additional wife. Remember, that this new marriage is not just about protecting the adult orphan women, marriage implies they are going to be intimate with each other. So, whereas personally I would be impressed if my husband wanted to support an unfortunate woman financially, I would not be happy with the intimacy part of the support.

                                      Hmmm...just because we are not quoting from the Qur'an or having a deep discussion using every Arabic term doesn't mean we are getting off topic...did I not just use a personal situation to refer to the topic we are discussing? I think I did.

                                      But fine...I will leave the thread alone so that you can participate.

                                      Peace Amina,

                                      Your participation is welcome and we love reading your posts. Don't worry about what anyone says.

                                          Peace Maha,

                                          Please explain why its not the same.

                                          Not same or A != B
                                          A. Man married to multiple women
                                          B. Woman married to multiple men

                                          Use your brain please. You are not allowed to marry the wife of your biological son, which means that if he wasnt your biological son you could marry her. So the wife ends up having two husbands.

                                          Same thing goes from the verse above. IF prohibited between your biological sons THEN permitted are non-biological sons wife!

                                          1. Needs to divorce first; see example in 3337
                                          2. 423 waalailu your sons the ones who from your loins
                                            the above pertains to their sons? former wives Ha-Lam-Lam = To untie/undo/open (a knot)
                                          3. Already married women are prohibited 424 w-al-mnat (already explained by Fallen Angel)

                                          What have these coins to do with anything? And you basically say that a modern woman like me who doesnt live in a tribal village, should not follow the quran since its not written for me?

                                          You asked about the revelation timeline how it can be determined; therefore, coins, inscriptions, etc.
                                          No. I did not write or infer anything about your modernity. Those are ideas that popped in your head.

                                          give me the verses and please answer my question. is being lesbian allowed?

                                          Sure for you and Shirley ? explain how al-nisa can be other than (insert meaning) feminine/women?

                                          2222 and they ask you about the menstruation say it ailment so abandon the feminine/women in the menstruation

                                          411.... so if are feminine/women above two (feminine) so to them (feminine) two thirds what left

                                          422 and not marry whom married your fathers from the feminine/women

                                          651 O you the prophet when you divorce the feminine/women so divorce them to their waiting period and count the count

                                          654 and the ones (feminine) who despaired from the menstruation from nisakum/your feminine/women if you doubt so their waiting period three cycles and the ones (feminine) not menstruated and those the pregnant their term that they put aside their loads (i.e. give birth) and from fears The God He makes for him from His directive easier

                                          I didnt understood the point of the cross references. Please just tell me in short, how I desire women.

                                          I'm sure that not all people have a fetish for fine horses, cattle, and farms.
                                          Try insert your meaning for al-nisa then post the verse see how it comes out?
                                          Read verse carefully pay attention to each word especially "from" (i.e. subset).
