THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 12th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1440, (Sunday, 17th February, 2019). THOSE WHO SPEAK AGAINST POLYGAMY ARE COMMITTING A GRAVE CRIME. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. The fact that some Muslims are abusing the trust they've taken in marrying more than one does not justify anyone hating or speaking against what ALLAH has permitted. Note that ALLAH does not permit anything if it has no benefits for us and surely ALLAH does not permit anything wrong. *_ALLAH Almighty says, “And it is not ever for a believing man or a believing woman, when ALLAH and HIS Messenger have decreed a matter, to have for themselves a [contrary] choice or view in their affairs. For whoever disobeys ALLAH and HIS Messenger has truly strayed into clear misguidance.” (Al-Ahzab 33:36)_*. Submission to ALLAH’s laws, whether one understands the wisdom behind them or not, is an essential part of being a Muslim. Polygamy is an exception not the rule. A man is required to be just and give each wife her rights in a fair way, which is difficult for many men; otherwise, he has to face the prophetic warning, “Whoever has two wives and is inclined to favor one of them over the other will come on the Day of Resurrection with half of his body leaning.” (Abu Dawud). This is a serious warning to my fellow brothers in particular. If you cannot treat two wives fairly, commit to only one and if you choose to marry additional wives then you must adhere to the rights of each wife and ensure both wives are treated fairly for the sake of ALLAH. It doesn't mean loving them equally but rather treating them fairly and with Justice. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. May ALLAH (Al-Fattah, The one who open doors of opportunities) air us to treat our wives fairly and grant our singles good partners. Aameen.
