THE RULINGS ON PLURAL MARRIAGE(POLYGAMY) AND THE WISDOM BEHIND IT

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 15th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Monday 6th February. 2023).

*_THE RULINGS ON PLURAL MARRIAGE(POLYGAMY) AND THE WISDOM BEHIND IT_*. BismilLah. 


Because Quran and Islam are the final messages to mankind from the Creator ALLAH, it contains rules till judgement day. One of the rules is the permissibility of plural marriage.  Let me make it clear to all brothers and sisters in particular that ALLAH does not permit anything if it is not good for us. We all know ALLAH has permitted polygamy with conditions so it's up to us to study the conditions and if we can adhere to its conditions then it's better for us to go for it. ALLAH says in the Qur'an; *_Marry women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then marry only one,  that is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice”_*. [al-Nisa’ 4:3]. If you study this verse well, you will notice that the command is to marry two, three or four but if you can't afford in handling them justice which includes, caring for them, accommodating them, clothing them etc then marry one meaning polygamy is something ALLAH loves us to go for if we can afford it. 


To speak against it or dislike it is a Major sin bcs you are disliking what ALLAH has permitted as such you are indirectly telling ALLAH HE permitted something wrong Astaghfirullah. Basically, polygamy is for those who are Muumin not just Muslims, meaning if your fear of ALLAH is lacking substance then you can't do justice to even one wife let alone two and in such a person, polygamy is forbidden for him. A sister in Marriage must NEVER oppose her husband adding a wife and a sister must never reject going into polygamy unless you have genuine reasons in regards to the eemaan of the brother and in such a situation you raise your concerns with the local imams or elders who were witness to the marriage without just opposing or fighting with your husband or the new sister as many does. 


*_May ALLAH increases us in wisdom to understand HIS rulings and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...

BELIEF IN PRE-DECREE (al-Qadar) CREATES PEACE IN OUR HEART continues

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 26th day of Swafar 1447AH, Wednesday, 20th August 2025. *_BELIEF IN PRE-DECREE (al-Qadar) CREATES PEACE IN OUR HEART continues_*. BismilLah.  For the past few days, we have been reminding ourselves that calamities in our lives can also be blessings in disguise. Let's continue with some of the wisdom behind calamities:  10. Another reason behind calamities and hardship is that a person becomes able to distinguish between true friends and friends who only have their own interests at heart. You may be so close to a colleague but wait for a calamity to you to see his or her real nature.  11. Calamities remind us of our sins so that we can repent from them.  ALLAH Azzawajal says:  “Whatever of good reaches you, is from ALLAH, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself” [al-Nisa’ 4:79]. “And whatever misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much” [al-Shoora 42:30]. Calamitie...
