بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلاَّ تُقْسِطُواْ فِي الْيَتَامَى فَانكِحُواْ مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ النِّسَاء مَثْنَى وَثُلاثَ وَرُبَاعَ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلاَّ تَعْدِلُواْ فَوَاحِدَةً أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْأَيْمَانُكُمْ ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى أَلاَّ تَعُولُواْ
If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two,
or three, or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or that which
your right hands possess. That will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice
The verse above includes the command to treat wives equally, and
anyone who is unable to do so should marry only one wife.
You are never able to be fair between women
The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said:
A man who marries more than one woman and then does not deal justly with them
will be resurrected with half his faculties paralysed (Sahih al-Bukhari)
this system of marriage allow one person have more than one spouse
In earlier times, Christian men were to have as many wives as they wished, since the Bible
puts no restriction on the number of wives they
can have then the Church restricted the number of wives to one
Before the Qur’an was revealed there was no limit for
Polygamy some men use to have even hundred of wives ,
Islam put limit of four wives. Islam gives a man permission to marry two
, three or four women, only on the condition that he deals justly with them.
While Allah permitted to marry up to four wives only if the husband can make equal justice
and equal treatment to all of them, for which he is answerable before God.
Prophet muhammad peace be on him had set an example to his followers
by treating them equally and spend his nights with them equally.
There are some situations in which it is advantageous to society to have men multiple wives.
Qur’an is the only religious book that says ‘marry only one’. phrase is the
following verse from Surah An Nisa’ of the Glorious Qur’an:
I know this is not an easy thing for women to accept this but polygamy is not a rule but an exception,
The religion of Islam was revealed for all societies and all times
