Fariq Naik – Among all Scriptures, only Qur’an Limits the Number of Wives one may Have

Fariq Naik
AI: Summary ©
The speaker discusses the issue of Islam's policy on marriage, stating that only one wife is allowed and polygraphies are prohibited. They suggest that the issue may be legal, but it is unclear if it is legal. The Chief Rabbi of Israel put a restriction on marriage, allowing only one wife and allowing women to have multiple sex partners to protect their sister from becoming "monemonic." The logical and scientific reasons for marriage are discussed, including that male and female sex is stronger and optional, that women are more likely to die due to drug and alcohol addiction, and that women are more likely to have multiple partners than men.

The fifth most common question is that why does Islam permit a

00:00:11 --> 00:00:16

Muslim man to have more than one wife? Earlier this misconception

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

it was at the top of the charts. But now it has come down to number

00:00:19 --> 00:00:25

five, Jihad and terrorism has overtaken the question is, why

00:00:25 --> 00:00:30

does a slob permit polygamy? Polygamy is divided into two

00:00:30 --> 00:00:37

types, polygyny and polyandry polygyny is where a man marries

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

more than one wife and polyandry is where a woman marries more than

00:00:41 --> 00:00:47

one husband. In Islam, limited polygyny is permitted, whereas

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

polyandry it is completely prohibited.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:55

In fact, Quran is the only religious book on the face of the

00:00:55 --> 00:01:01

earth, which says that marry only one. There is no other religious

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

book on the face of the earth, which says that marry only one.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:10

But that be the Talmud, with the Old Testament, but the bit of our

00:01:10 --> 00:01:15

Mayan, whether it be the Bible, Quran is the only religious book

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

on the face of the earth, which says that marry only one.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

And if you read

00:01:22 --> 00:01:27

Rama and the father of Shri Ram, King Dasha, he had more than one

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

wife. According to Mahabharata, Krishna, how many wives do you

00:01:31 --> 00:01:31

have?

00:01:33 --> 00:01:40

For 10 100,000 16,108?

00:01:42 --> 00:01:48

If Krishna can have 16,108 wives, why can a Muslim maximum four

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

even if you read the Christian scriptures, according to the

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

Bible, a question can marry as many wives as he wishes.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03

It was later on that the Christian church, they put a restriction and

00:02:03 --> 00:02:07

said that a Christian should marry only one wife. Even if you read

00:02:07 --> 00:02:12

the Jewish Scriptures, the Talmud, the Old Testament, Abraham, he had

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

three wives, Solomon had 700 wives.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

So even according to the Jewish Scriptures, a dual can marry as

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

many wives as he wishes.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:30

It was later on that Robert toship, Ben Yehuda, he issued an

00:02:30 --> 00:02:35

edict against it and said that a Jew should marry only one wife.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:41

Even the Jewish community that lived among the Muslims, even they

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

married more than one wife, till as late as 1950.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:52

It was later on that the Chief Rabbi of Israel, he put a ban he

00:02:52 --> 00:02:57

put a restriction and said that a Jew should marry only one life.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

Whereas according to the Scriptures are two can marry as

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

many wives as he wishes.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09

Sending in the Hindu scriptures, or Hindu can marry as many wives

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

as he wishes.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:17

If you read the statistics of the status of women in Islam,

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

published on page number 66, and 67,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:27

which showed that Muslims did 4.31% polygamous marriages,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:34

whereas the Hindus did 5.06% point seven 5% More than the Muslims.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

Even though it is illegal for a Hindu to have more than one wife

00:03:40 --> 00:03:45

after it being illegal, the Hindus were more polygamous as compared

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

to the Muslims. I don't know if it are legal however, the percentage

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

would have reached two.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:56

But according to the Hindu scriptures, a Hindu can marry as

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

many wives as he wishes. It was later on that the Indian

00:04:00 --> 00:04:06

government, the Indian Penal Code, in 1954, in the special Marriage

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

Act, they put a ban and said that a Hindu should marry only one

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

wife.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:16

Whereas, according to the Scriptures, a Hindu can marry as

00:04:16 --> 00:04:24

many wives as he wishes for 10 100,000 10,000 no upper limit

00:04:26 --> 00:04:30

let's see what the Glorious Quran talks about this.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran and Sunnah Nyssa

00:04:34 --> 00:04:38

trap number four was number three phunki Omar favela conveniently

00:04:38 --> 00:04:43

sir must know what to look for in a crystal Allah delu for Wahida

00:04:44 --> 00:04:49

Maddy woman of your choice in twos threes or fours, but if you feel

00:04:49 --> 00:04:52

that you cannot do justice, the narrow only one

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

so only if you can do justice, you can marry more than one wife.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:05

Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran, it's the Nyssa

00:05:05 --> 00:05:09

chapter number four was number 129. While into stata you and

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13

daddy lubaina Nyssa wallow huddlestone fell out Emilio kolel,

00:05:13 --> 00:05:19

May 1 kalamalka. And you will never be and you cannot do justice

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

between your wives, but do not turn away from them altogether.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:29

Many people think that it is compulsory in Islam to have more

00:05:29 --> 00:05:29

than one wife.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:36

Whereas it is MOBA. It is optional in Islam to have more than one

00:05:36 --> 00:05:40

wife. But if you have more than one wife, and if you cannot do

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

justice, then you are in a problem.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

So only if you can do justice, you can marry more than one wife.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:54

Let's analyze what are the logical and scientific reasons why Islam

00:05:54 --> 00:06:00

allows a man to have more than one wife. If we analyze male and

00:06:00 --> 00:06:03

female, about an equal proportion,

00:06:04 --> 00:06:10

but if you ask any medical doctor, he will tell you that the female

00:06:10 --> 00:06:15

* is a stronger six, it has got more immunity than the male *.

00:06:17 --> 00:06:22

So in the pediatric age itself, there are more deaths in males as

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

compared to females. As life goes on.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

There are deaths due to drug addiction due to alcoholism

00:06:31 --> 00:06:36

due to wars that take place. In all these cases, there are more

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

men who die as compared to the woman.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

And the statistics tell us that the average lifespan of a woman is

00:06:44 --> 00:06:49

more than the average lifespan of man. Today in the world, there are

00:06:49 --> 00:06:55

more females as compared to males. Except it's some third world

00:06:55 --> 00:06:59

countries like India, because female feticide and female

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

infanticide is practiced.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:07

And there was a BBC report on the program assignment. The topic was

00:07:08 --> 00:07:14

let her die. A British reporter by the name of Emily Beckenham states

00:07:14 --> 00:07:20

that every day in India, more than 3000 fetuses have been aborted

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

after they're identified that the females and if you multiply this

00:07:24 --> 00:07:30

by 365, more than a million fetuses are being aborted every

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33

year after they identify the females.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

And according to Tabouleh to go but hospital, out of dead females

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

born alive for up to death.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:48

And if this female infanticide stops. In India and the third

00:07:48 --> 00:07:52

world countries in a couple of decades, the female population it

00:07:52 --> 00:07:53

will outnumber the male population.

00:07:54 --> 00:08:00

Today in the world, there are more females as compared to males. In

00:08:00 --> 00:08:04

New York alone, there are 1 million females more than males.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:09

In USA alone, there are 7.8 million females more than males.

00:08:09 --> 00:08:13

In UK alone, there are 4 million females more than males. In

00:08:13 --> 00:08:17

Germany alone, there are 5 million females more than males. In Russia

00:08:17 --> 00:08:21

alone, there are 9 million females more than males. And God alone

00:08:21 --> 00:08:26

knows how many million females are more than males in a complete

00:08:26 --> 00:08:26

world.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:33

If I agree with the non Muslim, that every man should marry only

00:08:33 --> 00:08:37

one wife. And suppose if your sister or suppose if my sister

00:08:38 --> 00:08:43

happens to live in USA, and the market saturated, every man has

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

found a life partner.

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

And suppose if your sister or suppose my sister

00:08:50 --> 00:08:54

happens to be one of the 7.8 million females who have not found

00:08:54 --> 00:08:59

life partners, the only two options she has is marry a man who

00:08:59 --> 00:09:03

already has a wife or to become public property. Someone might say

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

public property, such a harsh word.

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

It's the most sophisticated word I can use.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:14

Having mistresses in America is very common.

00:09:15 --> 00:09:20

The American statistics tell us that an average American he has a

00:09:20 --> 00:09:25

different sexual partners before he sat down with one. Some may

00:09:25 --> 00:09:31

have turned some may have 20. But before an average American he gets

00:09:31 --> 00:09:35

married. He has a different sexual partners before he sat us down

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

with one. How many has after he married the statistics doesn't

00:09:39 --> 00:09:39

tell that.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:46

Having mistresses in America is very common. Then 20 No problem.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

But having more than one wife does not go down their throat.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:57

You know, when a woman she's a second wife. She has protection.

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

She gets honor. She lives a peaceful life.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:05

Life. Whereas when a woman, she's a mistress, she lives a life of

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

disgrace, she has no protection.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:12

Therefore, in Islam, a man is allowed to have more than one wife

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

in order to protect the woman.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

And under normal circumstances, no woman would like to share her

00:10:19 --> 00:10:23

husband, but a good Muslim ah, who knows the situation of the world

00:10:23 --> 00:10:27

would not mind to share her husband in order to protect her

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

sister from becoming public property.

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

And if you ask any modest woman, what would she choose to marry a

00:10:35 --> 00:10:40

man who already has a wife or to become public property and

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

immodest woman, she would choose the first time
