Once again Amir…the point of my post has gone up, above, and beyond your comprehension.
There is no need for you to silence the ladies.
NOBODY is denying that polygamy is allowed. EVERY WOMAN knows that polygamy is allowed in Islam.
I, myself, never denied the permissibility of polygamy. I only referred to the QURANIC VERSE that allows but also discourages polygamy because of the difficulty in treating all wives equally. So I’m referring to a verse in Quran…and not hadith. Allowing and discouraging are not the same thing.
The following is quoted from this web site: Who Practices Polygamy:
**This verse from the Qur’an allows a man to marry more than one
woman but only if he can deal justly with them. Another verse
says that a person is unable to deal justly between wives, thus
giving permission but discouraging.
“You will never be able to deal justly between wives however
much you desire (to do so). But (if you have more than one
wife) do not turn altogether away (from one), leaving her in
suspense…” (Qur’an 4:129)
While the provision for polygamy makes the social system
flexible enough to deal with all kinds of conditions, it is not
necessarily recommended or preferred by Islam. Taking the
example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is
instructive. He was married to one woman, Khadijah, for
twenty-five years. It was only after her death when he had
reached the age of fifty that he entered into other marriages to
promote friendships, create alliances or to be an example of
some lesson to the community; also to show the Muslims how to
treat their spouses under different conditions of life.
**So relax Amir…You don’t need to take out your hadith to show us that polygamy is allowed, or to show that men today and 1400 years ago had the same carnal desire, or to silence the ladies. We already know that. No need to state the obvious again.
