Not sure if it's in the Qu'ran- still learning. In the Old Testament, it states you can marry again if your first wife cannot have children. And yea- the widow. It states that you have to be fair to all your wives, and treat them the same. Also, this is probs down to tradition (like most things), but a lot of Arab countries can have up to 7 wives.-not sure on the basis of what tho. I dont personally agree with it. -ur marriage vows are to one person only- 'in sickness and in health, til death do us part'.

Yeah that shit does happen in alot of Arab countries. That is unrelated to islam in my oppinion. It is probably due to the being un-islamic if anything. And i agree with you that marriage should be to one person, this allows two people to love each other without jealousy. In desperate situations(such as in times of war) a man may marry more than once. This isn't happening in the Arab countries as they are re-marrying for pleasure, therfore what they are doing is wrong imo.

The Qur’an Is the only holy book that actually says “Marry Only One”

"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.' (An-Nisaa’ 3:3)"

Polygamy in Islam is not recommended, it is only permitted under certain guidelines. permission to practice polygamy is not associated with mere satisfaction of passion. It is, rather associated with compassion toward widows and orphans. the verse revealed to the Prophet (p) that gave man a choice of marrying up to four women was revealed to solve a major social problem to prevent major sins such as illegal sex and prostitution. the purpose was absolutely not for man's sexual pleasure nor privilege.

this verse was revealed at a time when the pagans declared war on islam when it was revealed a number of times, due to these battles muslims suffered a dramatic decrease in the number of Muslim men. this loss had left so many Muslim women Widows and not able to get married if they were single.

also one of the signs of the day of judgement according to the hadiths is that women in the future will out number men 50 to 1, today If every adult American man married only one woman, there would still be more than 25 million women in the United States who would not be able to get husbands, at least considering that according to latest statistics, 10 percent of the american population is gay, that’s close to 30 million people, same with many other countries where women have a much larger population than men.

The temptation thing doesn't make sense to me. Surely, then, attractive men should have to cover up and unattractive women shouldn't?

Men are also encouraged to cover from the neck to the knees in loose clothing. Modesty is a major part of the Islamic faith

 

[Khaled]

the quran says women should cover everything but their faces...
different ppl interpret this different ways, some cover the whole head, some just the hair...

anyway, the quran came at a time when rapes were very common during intertribal wars in the arab peninsula. I guess the idea was to make women less attractive, so that every man can see only his wife's beauty... but that s just my intrpretation.

"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.' (An-Nisaa’ 3:3)"

i think it actually says that "you can marry up to four women IF you can deal justly with them but YOU WON'T" (this s just my translation from arabic)

of course, ppl often ignore the last part

nah all Qur'anic translations of that verse are similar to the one i posted

 

[feichen]

its tradition.
the jewish arabs and christian arabs do it too...
so it has nothing to do with religion.

also,
its not like every woman is FORCED to do it (some are, but certainly not all).
they WANT to do it, to feel good (and maybe protected) themselves.

its more than tradition when you are labled as an non believer if you8 don't cover yourself...

TechNeex,
i just checked, the Quran clearly states the "you won't be fair to 4 wives" part

 

[chaos]

Men are obliged to cover themselves also, their hair, from the elbows, and from the knees. They are also obliged to look downwards when walking in the street where there are women.


Women must cover themselves modestly although this only applies to men outside her household, her household being her father, husband, brothers, sons.

you are talking about a different verse

An-Nisaa’ 4:3 says "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.'

than when Islam later became much stronger and put an end to all the wars and made peace with their neighbours God nullified this excuse to marry more than one women

(Qur'an verse 4:129) "Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away from a woman altogether, so as to leave her as it were hanging in the air. If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."

First of all, I am Christian but I want to know why it is that I have met many more Christians that have trouble tolerating or not making fun other religions and religious traditions than anybody else. Maybe it is only like this in the U.S. but its ridiculous. It bothers me when I hear, see, or read about Christians making fun of other religions. It bothers me because never once have I heard a muslim or jew or anybody else make fun of the way we Christians pass out chocolate rabits and eggs for Easter. Honestly, somebody please tell me what hiding and finding eggs have to do with Easter, I would like to know and I am not being sarcastic so if eggs are relevant with the day that Jesus was risen, somebody please tell me.

 

[Glockmatic]

its not really christians not tolerating different religions, its human nature to think different things are "weird".

 

[M.C.Chillz]

Sorry dogg, I cant agree with that completely. Its true that most people are scared of or just plain ignorant of things outside their comfort zone, but there are many people that tolerate things that are "weird" or learn about stuff when they dont know.
