Re: Very disturbing
very well said ......... this is exactly as i have studied and as from my research and understanding ... this is the issue which has just been explained ....
The Prophet was an example to all of us .. so he was our guide ... and he showed us ... every possibility ..and lawful things a muslim may /can do ... and this is one of them where a man marry his adopted sons wife AFTER he has divorced her ... and as sharaabi said .. he isnt his real son ... so a man may marry this woman ....
.. also .. The Prophet wanted to spread Islam in all parts and regions of the world .. he did so in many ways ...... and one of the ways was that he married women of different tribeds, cast, rich and poor... in order to spread the word of Islam ..... if you see ... All HIS SAW's wives ... they were from different tribes families etc .. but HE only had children from Hazrat Khadijah RA .... and the other thing is that .. HE SAW .. did not have two or more wives at one time .... HE SAW married all at different times .... for various reasons ....
NOTE:
But one thing i must say is that ..... this is a very long and big issue .. and really there isnt any need to question as to why and who our Beloved Messenger married .... But what matters the MOST is WHAT he taught us .... and secondly .. there are many Issues SUCH as this .. in which on the day of judgement we wont be asked that Why our Prophet Married such and such lady or for what etc etc .. and so it is best that these issues are left out of disscussion cos otherwise we are questioning the Authority of our Prophet SAW ... and what sorta muslims would we be if we are questioning HIS SAW's decisions .....???
JazakAllah Khair for confirming.
The issue at hand is that many 'Hater's of Islam' those people who malign and deceive they pick up these hadith and mould interpretation in order to make them appear odd or even inhumane.
That is why we must understand the finer details sometimes because with a slight detail out of place it could appear dodgy. Such as the prophet Muhammad (SAW) found Zainab (RA) beautiful prior to her divorce and it was THAT that caused her to be divorced is down right slander. The truth is kept away from the argument, which is that she was not happy in the first place.
The point is that it doesn't matter if he was adopted or not if a woman is already married to someone and they are both happy then even a prophet has no say over her intimate affairs. He has authority over her like a father figure but nothing more than this.
