hmmm.....i was thinking of starting a new thread on it.
anyway:
Gaia I think theseperverted' and polygamous manly inclinations may be rooted in ier nature.
Relating to this, there is much detail about sex in the koran and hadith.
s.x does not mean only with your wife. It should be noted a man is also allowed to have s.relations with that which 'his right hand posseses', meaning frankly his slave girl.
And in the olden times in which wars dominated, there were a lot of non-muslims slave girls that were freely enjoyable by thier muslim masters that were also tradeble on the open market.
real life example; Great personality H.Ali was awarded slave girl by the prophet (pbuh), who he enjoyed despite having a wife H.Fatima, who was very adverse to hi activity. Infact she used to feel so upset by it, that in one incident she stopped talking to him and left for her fathers home in anger.
So here even the great and ideal H.Ali, did not seem to want to or was not able to control his desires for the sake of his wife. So he did not have to be but was polygamous.
We also know an a war-time incidence, when they sahabies came complaining to the Prophet (pbuh), how thye could not tolerate being away from thier wives and requested if they could get them selves castrated. The Prophet, out of fear that they commit fornication, allowed them one last time to engage in 'Muta' with local girls. So basically here again we have sahabies who are married, but do not see to be able to excercise control for the sake of thier wives, go out looking for other girls.
Also going going a little back, but still relevant is the case of Old Prophet King Solomans (pbuh) example, who had 700 wives and 300 concubines, Prophet david, also had 90+ wives.
Yes you read it correct King Soloman, had 1000 partners.
These kind of statistics were not uncommon in the older times.
Before Islam, there was no restrcition on the number of wives, and it was common fo men to have more than 4 wives.
So here we see another example of the Polygamy/Promiscuity urges. And remember people these men were the best men on Earth, whos acts are meant to be ideals for us rest. and There are so many more examples like these.
bottom line:
It is clear that these men, did not have to engage in polygamy, yet they still all did. What does it prove?
maybe more will cme later:
with the coming of islam many of these practices have been prohibited because WE(men or women) can control ourselves...nothing thats forbidden is beyond our ability..
and in the ancient times we have the best example of self control as well..why not site that?...prophet yusuf(a.s)????..why always look for ways to falsely justify wrong doings when there are as many examples to support good?.....shaitan.....hmmmm
