Islam for Muslims / Re: Is Mohamed Really The Last Prophet by damike99: 5:49pm On Oct 31, 2013
Why is there no similarity in what the Bible says about Jesus and what the Koran says?
Islam for Muslims / Re: Would You Marry A Second Wife If You Were Wealthy? by damike99: 5:25pm On Oct 31, 2013

On a more serious note, Lets look at the facts

Polygamy : a system of marriage whereby one person has more than one spouse

Polygyny : where a man marries more than one woman (Allowed in Islam)

Polyandry : where a woman marries more than one man (Not Allowed in Islam)


1 Islam did not introduce polygyny

Moses 2 wives (Exodus 2:21 , Numbers 12:1)
Abraham at least three wives (Genesis 16:3 ,Genesis 25: 1-5)
David -12 Wives , 3 Concubines (1 Samuel 18:27 ,1 Chronicles 3 1-5)
Solomon 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 kings 11:3 ,Songs 6:8 2 Kings 10:1)

2 : The Qur'an is the only religious scripture in the world that says, 'marry only one'

"Then marry those that please you of women
two or three or four.
but if you fear you will not be just, then (marry only) one " Q 4:3

3. Polygyny protects the interests of women and children in society. It requires men to spend on their additional wives and their offspring.

The Prophet(PBUH) says,
“When a man has two wives and he is inclined to one of them, he will come on the Day of resurrection with a side hanging down (paralyzed) Abu Dawud

4.Only a minority (10-15 %) of Muslims practice polygyny because of additional financial and psychological burdens of handling more than one family.

Please Note.
The Bible does not support polygamy.
God says "A man should be united to his wife not wives"
and Jesus re-emphasized this fact "Mathew 19:4-6" and He says what God has joined together let no one put assunder.
It is clear that Monogamy is the best system, where then did prophet Muhammad get his revelation from?
God never said a man can have more than one wife in the Bible, please prove it if you can. Every one who married more than one wife
thought it was the best thing to do but see what it caused them.
