Salaamu Alaikunna
We are commanded, not suggested, to enter into Islaam completely. That means polygyny by men who can afford to practice it, but it is very expensive mentally and emotionally, I have observed as one who was in such a marriage and would actually like to enter into it again… correctly. If a man is able to divide his tangible, material aspects of time, wealth, housing… may Allaah have mercy upon him for what he cannot measure out for his heart. I have been a wife left hanging, I have seen other wives who are left hanging, while the sister being favored excuses it as “I am just the new toy, he will come back to you”. We have to expect the men to be men, and to excuse them when they err, but also call them back to what is righteousness; we have to expect the women to be women, and to excuse them when they are jealous in excess, but also call them back to what is righteous. This is their rights over us, as decreed by the One who has all right over us, Rabbi al alamin.
Jazak Allaah bi khair, wa barak Allaahu feekhunna.

Salaam Alaikum mashaAllah! I thoroughly enjoyed this blog!

I just went to a Islamic fundraiser dinner with Siraaj Wahaj called healing and reconciliation for the group M.A.N.A ( http://www.mana-net.org ) about 2 or 3 weeks ago and it was beautiful mashaAllah.

It looks like the Ummah is awakening to this issue and targeting it. InshaAllah it can get even better. Alhamdulilah in my age group and those younger than me it is not really visible. I only hope the “aunties” and “uncles” and all of our future generations can erase this evil.

Sisters or bros. Could we make a mass global walk with Pink hijab/ jilbab or pins with pink flags and raise some money for this cause?! Can this be organized and let contribute to our communities/countries/world.
Let’s show those with skepticism that Islam in more social that they think

Insha’Allah think about it

Many muslim men enter into polygamy without being prepared for it. My husband had 3 wives at one point and found it to be a struggle. It is incredabley hard to be just in polygamy when you love one wife more than another or dislike a wife altogether. lets remind the brothers that the one who is unjust with his wives will be raised on the day of judgement lopsided. It requires alot of taqwa and knowledge of the deen to get it right. Hope this helps remind everyone it is not easy and not a bit of fun. Assalamu alaikum.

AsalaamuAlaikumwaRahmatulahiwaBarakatahu,
Cinderella and Snow White did a job on me! Lawd ha’ Murcy! It took me two weeks to detoxify my mind and spirit from that ‘one man/one woman only’ madness; It was almost like I was in rehab coming off of a drug; I cried, I was in a deep depression, my mind and heart ached in that place where Marriage belongs – I suffered MaashAllah; After the two weeks, I awoke in a state of acceptance of Polygyny – Thank You Allah. Alhumdulilah!
Wow! I now understand that Allah is VERY, VERY, VERY SERIOUS about our not joining ANYONE in worship with Him – including our Husbands; Cinderella and Snow White caused me to put the man on a spiritual, psychological, and emotional pedestal where he does not belong!
I now understand that if I do not accept Polygyny, then I will be a direct contributor and co-signer of my Muslim Sister’s, Muslim children’s, and Muslims Brother’s sufferings, and also the deterioration of Society; I will be a part of the problem, and not a part of the solution; In my disobedience and selfishness, I will be part of building a Nation where my children, grand-children, great grand-children etc., may/will suffer severely; Polygyny is NECESSARY, NECESSARY, NECESSARY, for a healthy Community! It’s IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE to have a healthy Islamic Society without Polygyny! Polygyny is Allah’s ‘Social Services’!
Polygyny is definitely a test for Muslim Women; We say we believe in Allah, and obviously Polygyny is a way for us to prove our belief.
I would hate if my husband denied me any ONE of the rights given to me by Allah; I believe that when a Muslim Woman denies her husband the right to practice Polygyny (for no Islamic reason), then I believe he will resent her, and never ever treat her as well as he could; I think this phenomenon also contributes to many Muslim men oppressing their wives through spite.
I now understand about the benefits a woman can enjoy by being in a Polygynous Marriage, such as extra time to worship, entertain the children(if any), rest, study, go to school, create, meditate, rejuvenate, wear ugly pajama’s, establish and run a business, travel, shop, be with family and friends, and just enjoy her own company; Alhumdulilah! I think the time away can also ‘freshen’ the Marriage.
shaytaan has promised to mess with us, so, of course we may/will feel this and that, or the other, from time to time – Allah Knows Best; But I know that it is better to be bothered by shaytaan, while submitting to Allah’s Command, than to be conquered by shaytaan, while disobeying Allah.
Every Muslim female should be prepared to accept Polygyny in their lives. I now believe that if a Muslim woman does not accept Polygyny in principle, then she IS NOT ready for an Islamic Marriage! I think a Muslim man is asking for disaster if he marries a Muslim Woman who does not accept every Command in The Quran; Allah Say’s that Muslims say, “We hear and we obey” and not, “Uh Uh! I’m not doin’ dat!
Thank you for reading this.
May Allah increase Blessings, Forgiveness, Bounties, Mercies, Guidance and Light for you and all of the Believers.
May Allah Bless you to be very happy on the Last Day.
With Love MaashAllah,
Saboorah
