It is not surprising to hear such fabrications against the prophets and messengers because the fact is that enemies opposed every prophet. This fact is stressed in the Holy Quran; Allaah says what means: <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>\u201cAnd thus We have made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But Sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.\u201d <\/strong><\/span>[Quran: 25:31]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Among the misconceptions repeatedly hammered on by some westerners is that regarding the polygny practiced by Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. They allege that: <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cMuhammad was a womaniser, indulging in satisfying his carnal desires. He was not satisfied with only one wife, rather he gathered ten or more wives in order to fully satisfy his excessive lust.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">They also say: \u201c&#8217;Eesaa (Jesus) and Muhammad, may Allah exalt their mention, were never alike. There is a great difference between a man who could confound his whims and control his carnal passions (Jesus), and another who was wallowing in sexual indulgence&#8221;. What a big lie and an atrocious deformation of facts this is!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was extremely far from being lustful and sexually preoccupied. Rather, he was a messenger of noble conduct and high disposition. He was neither a god nor a son of God, as Christians mistakenly believe &#8216;Eesaa, may Allah exalt his mention, to be. He \u2013 Muhammad, peace be upon him &#8211; was only a man like other men. The only distinguishing point is that he was singled out by Divine revelation: <em>\u201c<\/em><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Say [O Muhammad]: &#8216;I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed \u2026&#8217;\u201d<\/span><\/strong> [Quran: 18:110]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">He was in no way different from the Prophets who preceded him. He never came to change their course of life. Of those noble prophets, may Allaah exalt their mention, the Holy Quran says: <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cAnd we have already sent messengers before you and assigned to them wives and descendents\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/strong> [Quran: 13:38]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Why is it, then, that those fanatic falsifiers launch their ignominious campaign against the final of all Prophets?! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Baseless Allegation<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">To absolutely refute such a misconception, we have to keep in mind two important points that debunk whatever allegations arise in this respect, and shut the mouths of the scandalmongers. These two points are:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">1- <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, did not practice polygny except after he had passed the age of fifty.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">2- <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">All of his wives were widows except for \u2018Aa\u2019ishah who was a virgin. She was the only one whom he married while she was still young. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">From these two points we realize how simply absurd and baseless the accusations imputed to the Prophet by the orientalists are. Had his objective of polygny been answering his sexual desires to satisfy his personal whims, he could have married in his youth and not in his old age. Moreover, he, peace be upon him, could have married young virgins, not old widows.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">It is narrated that Jaabir bin &#8216;Abdullaah \u2013 a prominent companion of the Prophet, peace be upon him \u2013 once came to the Prophet, peace be upon him with a gleeful expression on his face and wearing sweet-smelling perfume. &#8220;Have you gotten married?\u201d the Prophet, peace be upon him, asked. &#8220;Yes, O Messenger of Allaah!\u201d Jaabir answered. &#8220;A virgin or a widow?\u201d the Prophet , peace be upon him, further enquired. &#8220;A widow,\u201d was the answer. &#8220;Why not a young virgin,\u201d the Prophet asked \u201cso that you may tease (play) and have fun with each other?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Noble Messenger, peace be upon him, advised his follower (Jaabir) to prefer the virgin as a wife. This vividly means that he (the Prophet, peace be upon him) was not unaware of the path of carnal enjoyment and the way sexual needs are best satisfied.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Is it logical, then, that he married old widows turning his back on the young virgins if his only purpose was sexual satisfaction? Moreover &#8211; as mentioned before &#8211; his practice of polygny began only when he passed young age and entered old age.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Why Polygny?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The divine wisdom behind the Prophet\u2019s polygamy is of multiple aspects. However, we can sum up these aspects in the following four points:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The Educational Aspect <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Legislative Aspect <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Social Aspect <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Political Aspect <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Let us now speak briefly about each one of these points:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">First: The Educational Aspect<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The main purpose of the Prophet\u2019s polygamy was to qualify several women as teachers to teach the Muslim women the Islamic rulings (Sharee\u2019ah). Women are the inevitable other half of society and they are ordained to undertake their duties as men are.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Muslim women were too bashful to ask the Prophet about some of the legislative rulings, particularly the female-related concerns, such as those regarding the monthly period (menstruation), postpartum period, ceremonial impurity (post-discharge state), and other marital affairs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">For women, shyness was a great obstacle when they wanted to ask the Prophet about such matters. The Prophet on the other hand, was known for his absolute shyness also, which was among his outstanding, conspicuous attributes. It is narrated in the authentic books of Sunnah (Prophet Muhammad\u2019s sayings, practices, and approvals) that he was more bashful than a virgin in her boudoir. Accordingly, he could not answer frankly, using open and direct language, all the questions women raised. He rather made use of metaphorical and a highly refined style of language, which could be too difficult for those laywomen to grasp.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/> For example:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u2018Aa\u2019ishah narrated that a woman from the Ansaar (the inhabitants of Madeenah) came to the Prophet and asked him about how to purify herself (i.e., wash up) after her menses. The Prophet taught her how to do so and then said: \u201cTake a perfumed piece of cotton and clean yourself with it.\u201d She said: <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cO Messenger of Allaah! How do I clean myself with it?\u201d<\/span><\/strong> to which he embarrassedly replied: <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cGlory be to Allaah! Clean yourself with it!\u201d<\/span><\/strong> \u2019Aa\u2019ishah then caught the lady&#8217;s hand, drew her aside, and said to her in a whisper: <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cPut the piece of cotton in such and such a place and wipe away the blood.\u201d<\/span><\/strong> She explicitly named to her the private place to be cleaned.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/> Being very shy, it was too embarrassing for the Prophet to use the direct, open style of language that &#8216;Aa\u2019ishah used with the woman. Those women who could, with great difficulty, confound their timidity to ask the Messenger frankly about their affairs were very few.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Ref. www.islamweb.org<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the advent of Islam, more than fourteen centuries ago, its opponents have spared no effort to enshroud its Prophet\u2019s character with doubts, drawing a deformed image of him to&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":988,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-misconceptions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Prophet Muhammad and polygyny - I - Right Islam<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Noble Messenger, virgin as a wife, he married old widows,Why Polygny?
