    Assalaam Alaikum @Nun

    Again, its obvious you do NOT study the Quran in the language of the Quran.

    Nisa does NOT mean 'wives'

    When Allah refer's to 'wives' Allah uses the term 'Imraatan'

    When Allah refers to (a gender neutral reference) 'mates' Allah uses the term 'azwajan'

    Now again before I choose to engage you any further, lets get the basics down first.

    Im still awaiting a response to my request regarding your translation of 33.37

    Please showme the arabic statements for

    1. '3337 And when you say to who God blessed/comforted and eased on him...'
    2. 'him'

        What about 'Imraatan' of 2723 "I found 'Imraatan' ruling over them"

          Greeting@Muslimtruthrevealed,

          OK I'll be nice and ignore the know it all pseudo-intellectual comments.

          I posted...

          Ya nisaa alnnabiyyi...
          3332 You, the prophet's women (wives)...

          The prophet's women (wives, plural in parentheses) whereas imraatu when referring to one.

          Also was posted the entire context from 3332-37 including...

          3337 Wa-ith taqoolu lillathee anAAama Allahu AAalayhi...

          Do you disagree prophets had more than one woman/wife?

          Also, why avoid not answering a simple question; is below person/name or a verb?

          3144 Wama muhammadun illa rasoolun..

          3340 Ma kana muhammadun...

          4829 Muhammadun rasoolu Allahi

            And what about this? Would you translate it as "wife" even before deciding to enter into Nikah?

              I hope it is admitted that divorce is given only to wife and not to mother and sister.
              Pl see 6501,04 who are being given divorce "Nisa" or Imraatan.

                Peace Mazhar,

                Good points above -- always read Quran in context and cross-reference to get best meaning.

                  This too is a wrong perception;

                  If "azwajan" is merely "mate" and not 'wife' how has she been made pregnant?

                      We went over this already.... Here is the answer....again

                      Ya Nominative Case

                      ?Ya? used to express feelings or affection towards someone or something when followed by a verbal noun or Nominative Case.
                      Language of the Holy Quran, page 400

                      Next point relative to the topic please.......

                      @Mazhar...By the way, I dont play 'hide and seek' or the 'shell game' with the Quranic ayahs

                            @Mazhar "azwajan" is NOT in the arabic you posted!

                            I see which means 'from the female mates/wives', there is the 3rd person, feminine pronoun 'ha' affixed to the words 'min' and 'zawja'

                            Now lets stay on topic...'Number of Wives'....

Thus I reserve the right to respond to those questions and inquiries that specific to the topic and conducive to informing the audience. If you wish to discuss the 'Muhammadun' of the Quran, create a thread, I will participate.

                              O those who believe in the Prophet! We have made lawful to you thy wives to whom you have paid their dowers; and those whom you have control of leading to the right/blessings whom Allah has assigned to you; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with you; and ANY BELIEVING WOMAN WHO DEDICATES HER SOUL TO THE PROPHET IF THE PROPHET WISHES TO WED HER;- THIS ONLY FOR YOU / yastankihaha/ khalisatan/ , AND NOT FOR THE BELIEVERS (AT LARGE); We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the those whom they have control of leading to the right/blessings;- in order that there should be no difficulty for you. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

                                  First you post this...

                                  uuh excuse me, we are focusing on the arabic of the ayah NOT someone's translation. 'Zaid' s NOT in the arabic its 'zaydun'...a verb..NOT a noun.

                                  Now you run away from answering this...

                                  Likewise ? which words did you translate as those who believe in verse below?

                                  3350 Ya ayyuha alnnabiyyu

                                    And what about this? Would you translate it as "wife" even before deciding to enter into Nikah?

                                    Imraata / Imraatan is used interchangeably to refer wives or women.

                                    'Wife of Nuh', Wife of Lut' & 'Wife of Firawn' in Sura 66.10-11

                                    imraata Noohin wa imraata Lootin /
                                    imraata firAAawna /

                                    'Imraatan' in Sura 33.50 is referring to the 'Believing Women', which makes sense because its part of a Accusative Case Imraatan Muminatan /
                                    Tanween makes the words 'indefinite', thus indicating they are NOT 'wives' at this point, but 'Believing Women'

                                    Now lets get back to the topic 'Number of Wives'.....
