    Salam Israfeel

    I have given you the link, it is easy.. just click to read the actual text.

    Secondly, I am not familiar with the method you use to the Clause.

    The way I'm reading the Clause are as follows

    General Rule For Marriage

    O Prophet, indeed
    We have made lawful
    to you your wives <-- more than one

    (1) to whom you have given their due compensation
    (2) and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you
    (3) and the daughters of your paternal uncles
    (4) and the daughters of your paternal aunts
    (5) and the daughters of your maternal uncles
    (6) and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you
    (7) and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet
    if the Prophet wishes to marry her

    only for you, excluding the believers. <- general rule

    This is what happens when you try to interpret Pure Quran by yourself by rejecting Hadith. You end up with such stupid and absurd logic.

    According to this bizarre interpretation, only the Prophet peace be upon him can marry the daughters of his maternal and paternal uncles and aunts. So that means all the cousin marriages of all Hadith rejectors are now declared null and void by your interpretation of Quran. Great job!

    Not only that, but all the marriages of Hadith-rejectors which involved giving of dowry are also declared null and void by your interpretation.

    Plus there are now contradictions in the Quran, because the verse about polygamy clearly says believing men can marry two three or four wives. Your weird interpretation of Quran to suit your desires has made the Pure Quran a book which is contradictory, inconsistent and makes no sense (God forbid!)

      Salam Israfeel,

      The Qur'an is the truth.

      Prohibition of inconsistent Hadith

      Say, , "Bring forward your witnesses
      who will testify
      that Allah has prohibited this."
      And if they testify <- including by way of hadith
      DO NOT testify with them
      And DO NOT follow the desires of those who deny Our verses
      and those who do not believe in the Hereafter
      while they equate with their Lord.
      (<a href="http//quran.com/6/150">6150</a&gt

      and further, no one knows Allah's plan.

      So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement
      We will overtake them by degrees
      from whence they perceive not
      And I do bear with them
      surely My plan is firm
      (6844-45)

      Anything could happen, and expect the unexpected.

      Peace brother.

          Salam Israfeel,

          I have already given you my complete answer. I believe, you are the one who are unable to dispute it according to the rules of the Qur'an and relying on external rules or facts to validate your "opinion". Is this Islam?

          "...while they equate with their Lord..." (6150) + (404)

          Peace brother.

            Salaam Israfeel,

            It is in the Christian Bible that says women are lower than men.

            Muslims didn't use the Qur'an to null dowry, etc.

            But in 3350, only the Prophet was allowed to take multiple wives. Muslims didn't use the verse to null dowry and prohibition of marriage to some people but he just wanted to show that only the Prophet was allowed to marry women whom he wished

            And in 43, men are only allowed to marry up to four women in the case of orphans. But even in the verse 43, God already states that marrying one woman is the best.

            You said people who reject the hadiths just want to follow their own desires? Why don't you look at your beloved Salafi scholars who accept marital rape and honor-killing of women who are rape victims and also pedophilia?

            I pray with all my heart to the Lord that He will make people like you realize how male chauvinistic you all are pr

            Most of us support peace. Why do you hate peace and justice that the Lord promotes to us in the Qur'an?

            Regards,
            Yuliana

              Salam diamantinehoneybunch,

              RED The above rule strengthens that Sura (4.3) is a legal exception, an exemption ... and the general rule is "one wife", i.e. the general rule in Sura (3350)

              General Rule One wife - Sura (3350) (<a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9597268.msg335921#msg335921">Explanation</a&gt

              Exception Sura (43) - Allow up to 4 wives for the benefits of an orphan.
              On the condition, satisfy the following test, "fear test".

              General Rule to Exception "..if you fear that you will not be just (to your wives)..." (43)
              If fear or worry, back to the general rule in (3350), one wife!
              one wife, despite for the benefits of an orphan (4129)(43).

              It is also stated in Sura (4129)

              "..you will never be able to be equal between wives, even if you should strive.." (4129)

              Basically it means it will never be just to marry more than one and it is against Islam, UNLESS it can bring justice to the orphan and wives (lesser). It will bring more justice if they are able to benefit the orphan and at the same time, are able to be equal between their wives. It is only in this situation Allah made it lawful to marry more than one woman.

              Peace.

                Why Allah refers the institution of marriage as an act of fornication?

                Why it is related to the "Mushrikeen" (refer to <a href="http//quran.com/30/31-32">3031-32</a&gt and forbidden to the "Believers"?

                The fornicator
                shall not marry any
                but a fornicatress
                or idolatress <- Mushrikeen

                and (as for) the fornicatress
                none shall marry her
                but a fornicator
                or an idolater <- Mushrikeen

                and it is forbidden to the believers.
                (<a href="http//quran.com/24/3">243</a&gt

                marry = fornication?

                (may also include the issue of <a href="http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9603425.0">whether can marry a hadither</a> - <a href="http//quran.com/6/150">6150</a> + <a href="http//quran.com/40/4">404</a> + <a href="http//quran.com/30/31-32">3031-32</a&gt

                  Fare thee well,

                  I rather be a disbeliever than the religion Israfeel is advocating. Rather hypothetically burn in Hell than obeying an imaginary god who does not even stand by his own opening verse. This projected god is not God. This is not the God Arabs call Allah.

                  God bless you

                      Why didn't you quote 3350 in its entirety...then there would not have been a need to ask the question.

                      Peace Israfeel,

                      The entire verse concerns only the prophet.

                        Peace brother.

                        General Rule as to Justice in Polygamy - No Justice

                        And you will never be able to be equal between wives <- No Justice. It is against Islam.
                        even if you should strive

                        General Rule - One Wife

                        O Prophet, indeed
                        We have made lawful <-- vs. unlawful (zina - (1732) (243))
                        to you your wives <-- more than one, doesn't matter Prophet had 2, 3, 4, .. 11 or 100 wives..
                        what matter is more than one, i.e. wives (plural)

                        (1) to whom you have given their due compensation <- refer to our situation (nikah)
                        (2) and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you
                        (3) and the daughters of your paternal uncles
                        (4) and the daughters of your paternal aunts
                        (5) and the daughters of your maternal uncles
                        (6) and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you
                        (7) and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet
                        if the Prophet wishes to marry her

                        only for you, excluding the believers. <- General Rule, one wife.

                        We certainly know what We have made obligatory
                        upon them concerning their wives
                        and those their right hands possess
                        in order that there will be upon you no discomfort

                          Not true. Allah has addressed the entire Quran to the Prophet (peace be upon him), does it mean the Quran is guidance only for the Prophet peace be upon him?

                          You have a very narrow and weak understanding of the Pure Quran.

                            (43)

                            Salamun alaikum,

                            Not exception but command. For exceptions command verbs are not used. For advice, mood of verb is jussive; for discretion mood of verb is subjunctive.

                            Polygamy as a Custom of having many spouses for pleasure is not allowed in the Grand Qur'aan

                              The Pure Quran talks about having multiple wives (polygamy) as being normal

                              Permitted to you, on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives (2187)

                              But do not associate with your wives while ye are in retreat in the mosques (2187)

                              Your wives are as a tilth unto you (2223)

                              For those who take an oath for abstention from their wives, a waiting for four months is ordained (2226)

                              In what your wives leave, your share is a half (412)

                              And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes (2574)

                              **Why would Islam discourage polygamy when Muslims are taught by the Quran to pray for wives (plural)??

                              Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body nor has He made your wives whom ye divorce by Zihar your mothers (334)

                              Enter ye the Garden, ye and your wives, in (beauty and) rejoicing. (4370)

                                Not true. does it mean the Quran is guidance only for the Prophet peace be upon him?

                                You should not twist God's words to suit your fancy nope

                                  Erroneous way of reading texts. The pronoun for men is plural whereby the following word "wives" is plural. It denotes respective wife--respective wives if a man has married others to fulfill the obligation imposed upon him.

                                    The word 'man' (Rajul) is singular in this Ayah. That destroys your argument.

                                      Very gooooooooood at twisting God's words to fulfil your sex-maniac desires.

                                      The verses that you showed were not this verse.
                                      You lost your argument against Mazhar then you bring another verse that uses singular noun to support and suit your evil sexist mysogynist unjust desires. LOL

                                        I've reported this post to the mods for being a personal attack. Hopefully they will ban this person.

                                        Also like to make clear that the verse I quoted 334 is talking about man (Rajul) in the singular.

                                        Looks like Hadith-rejectors when they can't answer with arguments resort to personal attacks. How sad.

                                          This is a very bad thing to say. I do not think that you realize or have realized the implications of what you have said. I think that you should immediately apologize to brother Israfeel. Do not generalize nor personalize! Continue your arguments constructively!
