Sometime some peopls have to be exposed this christian Abiodun Ajiboye like to ask question blindly and when you give him answer he will keep asking an irrilavant question again. Here is his question: ibb moh u have been running from my question ........well i knew muslim hate question , but i wont stop untill all islamic lies and false teaching is expose Muslims teach Muhammad was sinless. However the Koran specifically limits the number of wives a Muslim man can marry to 4. Yet Muhammad married at least 12 women. My question is: Is Muhammad above the very law he gave in the Koran and isn’t the definition of sin violating the law of God? As you can see he didnot even know that our prophet only have 9wives at one time. And i gave him this answer: Abiodun? Are you asking to find the the truth? I want you to pls read with me: your question is Why Prophet Mohammad had 9 Wives When the Rule Says 4 Only? People like you tend to ask these questions either because they just want to criticize and diminish our prophet or simply because they do not know the historical circumstances behind what really happened and why. In this comment I will try to answer the following questions: ~Why did the prophet marry 9 at a certain point of time? ~How come God gave muslims the option to marry up to 4, yet the prophet was married to 9 and kept them all? ~Why didn’t the prophet divorce 5 and stay within the Islamic law limit of 4 (saving himself all the accusations that would come afterwards)? First, of all let’s talk some facts and history about marrying more than one… Before Islam (in many cultures and religions) it was normal for people to marry many women at the same time without any limitation whatsoever. Marrying more than one isn’t an Islamic “invention”. For instance, Prophet David (PBUH) was said to have about 300 women (wives and all). And prophet Soliman (PBUH) was said to have about 700 women. When Islam came, it put the limitation of 4 (with conditions). {فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَى وَثُلاثَ وَرُبَاع}Al Nessa’a When the above Quranic verse was revealed, all muslims (whom had more than 4 wives) had to limit themselves to 4 or less (depending on the case). And so they did. Yet, at that time the prophet (PBUH) was married to 9 wives (before this order was revealed), and he didn’t divorce them. Why? Here’s why… Let it be know that in Islam, the Prophet’s wives are of special value and stance. They are not like any other women… What a lot of people don’t know (I being one of them before I researched for answers), is that before the above verse (limiting to 4 wives) was revealed\descended to the prophet, another order (rule) was revealed\descended a while back… That order was mentioned in this verse (from Al Ahzaab): في قوله تعالى:{وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْذُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلا أَنْ تَنْكِحُوا أَزْواجَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَبَدًا}ا God descended an order that “no one was to marry any of the women the Prophet married”. Before applying that ruling on the wives, they were provided a choice…either to stay his wives and stick to the ruling (never to remarry again) or for them to get divorced at that time… they all preferred to stay with him! The reasons for such a rule (his wives never to remarry)are obvious, it was to protect the prophet and his wives (whether while or after the prophet passed away) from any form of harm or mistreatment. You can Imagine for example, after the prophet’s death any of his wives would remarry, and be mistreated in any way by a husband. Imagine (as a muslim) the impact of this on us!! Or even if any of his wives would remarry, and be verbally mocked by atheists or christians (who were ready to use anything just to demoralize or mock the prophet, his wives and muslims). You can imagine the type of low talk that can be used in such a situation, no need to mention it here. This of course was important because the wives of the prophet have a very special stance in Islam (after all they are called “Mothers of all Muslims”). So, here is the situation: 1- God said the prophet’s wives(9 of them at the time)are not to remarry after him. 2- God ordered muslims not to marry more than 4 at the same time. In other words, the prophet will have to divorce 5 out of the 9 he had as wives at that point. Those 5 will neither be his wives nor any one elses (unlike all other women who when divorced can remarry). Out of God’s mercy for the Prophet’s wives, He descended this verse: يقول تعالى لنبيه صلى الله عليه وسلم:{لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدُ، وَلَا أَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَاجٍ، وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ حُسْنُهُنَّ It is an order from God directed to the prophet (specifically) never to marry anymore women at all (keeping the 9 he already has). And that he (the prophet) does not have the right to replace his wives (divorce one or more and marry new ones while keeping his limit of wives at 9). And this rule (that applied to him only) was the answer for his situation (since he had 9 wives whom cannot remarry again). So, from that point on... neither could the prophet remarry nor could his wives! Special case, special reason and that was that. Allah knows best!!!
