    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)

    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!

              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

              Salamun alaikum,

              Try to find out what is a "legal exception/exemption".

              General Rule Exception
              Forbidden to eat -> Can eat flesh of swine
              flesh of swine (Emergency)
              (2173) (2173)

              Cannot kill -> Can kill
              a person (War)
              (22.39)

              One wife -> Multiple wives
              (3350) (orphans)
              (43)

              and so on..

              If fear of unjust to wives, Allah command for one wife, i.e. the reinstatement of the general rule in (3350), and even in the situation for the benefit of an orphan. One wife.

              Peace brother.

                Salaam Israfeel,

                I didn't say that you were wrong about the verse 334.

                But you used the verse to say that the verses (that contain the word women) you showed to Mazhar also talked to singular man.

                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)

                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.

                You gave the verses that talked about WIVES. Then Mazhar responded to you that the verses talking about WIVES also used the plural PRONOUN (see what pronoun is, i.e. I, You, He, She, It, They, We) of man.

                Then you responded to Mazhar only by using the verse 334 that uses singular NOUN of man to prove that a man is normal for having multiple wives.

                You hope that I would be banned?
                Why don't you yourself read your own posts that may make people hate Islam?
                Because of people like you, Ali Sina and his buddies keep laughing at Islam.

                You want me to get banned?
                This forum is dedicated to God and study His scripture. This forum is a Qur'an-alone forum.
                You are angry with my words now?

                Why don't you re-read Mahar's response to your posts of verses that you higlighted in red the word wives?

                Instead of wishing me to get banned, why don't you yourself read your posts that ridicule your own religion Islam and the Qur'an?
                You breach rule no 2.
                I also have the right to report your posts that ridicule the Qur'an.

                I apologize for the 'insults' but why don't you yourself understand why I used the words? But it is true that you try your best to twist God's words to suit polygamy-without-exception?

                Anyway I was saying about your desires. Not yourself! Why are you even angry when I said such things? Why don't you look at countries like Afghanistan (some parts), Yemen, Mali, Saudi Arabia where women are treated like garbage because of male-dominated ideology?

                Regards,
                Yuliana

                  Wait, Isn't it even logical to use "their wife"?

                  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)
                  Wait, it is not logical to use "unto us wife" right?

                  Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body nor has He made your wives whom yedivorce by Zihar your mothers (334)
                  Anyway, the phrase "Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body" has pwned and disproved your view on polygamy(polygamy-without-exception).

                      Peace.

                      And DO NOT APPROACH unlawful sexual intercourse
                      Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.
                      (<a href="http//quran.com/17/32">1732</a&gt

                      "Do not approach" adultery means deeper than the words "Do not commit" adultery. "Do not approach" means do not approach whatever that can leads to adultery. The difference between lawful and unlawful sexual intercourse is marriage; ie. lawful or unlawful marriage.

                      Therefore this will bring us to a new question, what is unlawful marriage according to the Qur'an?

                      Sura (3350) describes what is unlawful to the Believers; ie. unlawful marriage.

                      (3350) = Unlawful marriage
                      = Unlawful sexual intercourse
                      = Adultery
                      = "DO NOT APPROACH"

                        Dear Yuliana

                        It has nothing to do with any view I support. I even support some of your views. I was referring to the personal name calling. Do you disagree with what I said in the previous post?

                          Two sentences are independent clauses; these are compounded by a conjunction waw. Independent since the verb is repeated.

                          The first sentence needs a careful parsing. "Two hearts" is not there; instead it is a prepositional phrase with Min "something emanating from two hearts" and then is adjectival description for the dual noun by a prepositional phrase coupled with possessive phrase. The object of verb is elided.

                          The discourse is about not accepting the word of the Non-Believers and Muna'fi'qeen Imposter believers.

                          Now one has to research as to what is the relationship of uttering a word-expression with the heart and chest.

                          When next wives are mentioned the pronoun for men is again plural.

                                Salamun alaikum,

                                Try to find out what is a "legal exception/exemption".

                                General Rule Exception
                                Forbidden to eat -> Can eat flesh of swine
                                flesh of swine (Emergency)
                                (2173) (2173)

                                Cannot kill -> Can kill
                                a person (War)
                                (22.39)

                                One wife -> Multiple wives
                                (3350) (orphans)
                                (43)

                                and so on..

                                If fear of unjust to wives, Allah command for one wife, i.e. the reinstatement of the general rule in (3350), and even in the situation for the benefit of an orphan. One wife.

                                Peace brother.

                                I am differing only to remain precise. In legal parlance, a command verb places obligation upon the subject. He has to do it.

                                Law provides saving clauses for meeting exigencies of situation or instances of impracticability in obeying the prescribed provision of law.

                                  When next wives are mentioned the pronoun for men is again plural.

                                  Peace,

                                  To quote Israfeel

                                  "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)

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

                                  To translate Mazhar's English into English "any man" 33/4 denotes "all men" (plural)

                                  God bless

                                  peace

                                      Peace Mazhar,

                                      Did I understand you correctly yes/no?

                                      Two sentences are independent clauses; these are compounded by a conjunction waw. Independent since the verb is repeated.

                                      The first sentence needs a careful parsing. "Two hearts" is not there; instead it is a prepositional phrase with Min "something emanating from two hearts" and then is adjectival description for the dual noun by a prepositional phrase coupled with possessive phrase. The object of verb is elided.

                                      The discourse is about not accepting the word of the Non-Believers and Muna'fi'qeen Imposter believers.

                                      Now one has to research as to what is the relationship of uttering a word-expression with the heart and chest.

                                      When next wives are mentioned the pronoun for men is again plural.

                                      God bless

                                      peace

                                          Number of wives?
                                          This thread has got to number 531 posts! That is more than Soloman had as wives and concubines added together according to a certain source. By "certain source" I do not mean it is certain!!!

                                          And here is me having a complicated life with just one? And Yes,she will also say the same.

                                          And to think there will be "72" waiting for you up there? According to another source.

                                          Help!!! I do not want to go up there.
                                          GOD bless you all.
                                          Peace.
