بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

To the Muslim man who threatens polygamy while his wife carries his financial burdens:

Have you no fear of the One Who sees your every action? The woman who stands beside you - who shares your financial struggles, who works to put food on your table, who bears your children and your burdens - you threaten to replace her? To bring another while she carries your load?

Allah (swt) says in the Qur'an:
"But if you fear you will not be just, then [marry only] one."📚(An-Nisa, 4:3)

Brother,

Where is your justice? Where is your gratitude? Where is your Islamic character?

You are like a man who cannot swim attempting to rescue two drowning people—you will only succeed in drowning them all, including yourself.

Brother,

When your wife contributes financially to your household yet you threaten her with "your Islamic right":

(a) You are biting the hand that feeds your family - showing ultimate ingratitude to the woman Allah placed as your helper

(b) You are transforming Allah's mercy into a weapon - using Islamic teachings to terrorize the very person who sustains your home

The Prophet (pbuh) said:

"The best of you are those who are best to their wives."📚(Ibn Majah)

Is this your "best"? Threatening the woman who shares your struggles? Using Qur'anic verses to intimidate the one who helps pay your bills?

On the Day of Judgment:

(a) Your wife's financial contributions will testify against your ingratitude

(b) Every threat you made will stand as evidence of your spiritual abuse

(c) Your manipulation of Islamic teachings will be exposed before all creation.

This reminds me,

Brother Lukman's wife, Fatima, worked as a teacher to help put food on the table and pay children's school fees. Yet whenever she expressed an opinion he disliked especially his affairs with ladies outside, he would threaten: "Remember, Islam allows me to marry a second wife."

One evening, after Fatima had paid their son's school fees from her salary, Lukman made his usual threat during an argument.

Their teenage daughter, who overheard, asked her mother: "Mama, why does Dad always say that? Doesn't he see how hard you work for us?"

Fatima wiped a tear. "He thinks it's his right, my daughter."

Then their teenage daughter turned to her father and asked him: "Dad, if you get another wife, will you also get another child?"

Lukman laughed, "Of course not, my daughter."

She (the teenage daughter) asked again: "is that possible to marry another wife without having more children?" Lukman responded: "yes of course".

The child then, said, "That's good, because the children doesn't want a father who uses Allah's words to make their mother cry."

The child's words struck Lukman's heart like lightning. He realized his spiritual abuse had not only damaged his wife, but was teaching his daughter that Islam could be used as a weapon.
