Why Did the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) Have Many Weddings ?

Questions:

Weddings ? Why did the Prophet (peace be upon them) have many? This is the very common question asked by many people so we decided to answer it

Answer:

Assalamu Alaikum WA rahmatullahi WA Barakatuh

Thank you for your question.

Our responsibility is to constantly portray & follow the most effective example of the prophetic teachings. It’s always best to busy oneself with the positive instead of the negative. All Prophets (peace and blessings upon them) remain of ethics, high status & exemplary character, even though individuals spread hate against them. That being said, some of the answers the scholars have presented to your question, are listed below:

Islam restricted the number to four. Islam introduced limits. Men of the time have been recorded to have many wives.

In fact, most males of all faiths had many wives. Marrying many wives was a common custom during that era. This is why no Christian, atheist or idolater etc. living at now, ever objected to his polygamous marriages.

All weddings apart from the first were when the age of fifty.1st wedding of Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) was at the age of twenty-five.

All weddings of Muhammad (peace & blessings upon him) were commanded by God Almighty. Therefore he was obeying the command of God.

Several matters of religion are only known to us from the wives. A’isha (may God be pleased with her) is amongst those who narrate the most hadiths from the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him). By being in polygamous marriages, the wives were able to transfer the prophetic teachings of domestic life.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) broke this inappropriate custom demonstrating that there’s no curse by marrying widows. Therefore, all his wives apart from one were widows. He married the widows to facilitate & support them. During his time, marrying a widow, particularly with kids, would be looked upon as a curse.

Stretching Feet Facing the Kabah: Allowed?

Q uestions: As-salamu `alaykum. Is it wrong to sit or sleep with your feet facing the east or facing the Kabah A nswer: In his response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states: If a person is sitting stretching his feet towards the direction of the Kabah with the specific intention of showing disrespect, then that is definitely considered a blasphemous act and a grave sin, for at all times we are ordered to respect the symbols of Allah. The Kabah, being the House of Allah, is worthy of utmost reverence. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “O Allah! Enhance the honor, status and awe of this House in the minds of those who visit or go around it.” Allah says, “Whosoever respects the symbols of Allah, he does so only by virtue of the piety embedded in their hearts.”(Al-Hajj 22:32) Having said this, however, I should further state: If a person does no...

Why do Dogs start Barking (Howling) at the time of Azan ?

Q uestions: Why do dogs cry at the time of Fajr Azan? This is an incident that I’ve noticed very often. A nswer: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. There are many wonders of Allah in His Creation. Dogs are among His Creatures. It is confirmed in a Hadith that dogs see what human beings cannot see. Abu Dawud reported in his Sunan that Jabir Ibn Abdullah narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said:” If you hear the barking of dogs and the braying of donkeys by night, seek refuge in Allah, as they see what you cannot see”. Albani and others classified this Hadith as authentic. In Sahih Al Jamie’, following the above Hadith is stated: ..’And reduce going out when it is quiet( when everybody is indoors at night time) as Allah diffuses by night what He wishes among His Creation, and lock your doors and mention the Name of Allah on them as ...
