*What was the Wisdom Behind Prophet’s Multiple Marriages? Why Did Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) Have Many Wives?*
The prophet’s first spouse was Khadijah (might Allah be happy together with her), a rich girl in Mecca. When the Prophet (ﷺ) married her, he was 25 years previous and he or she was about 40 years previous. She had been married thrice beforehand. And it was the primary marriage of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), if he would have married for pure needs or lusts, he would have chosen an attractive younger virgin of Mecca slightly than a widow fifteen years his senior.
When she died in the course of the eighth yr of his prophethood, he remained single for about 5 years and introduced up his kids by himself. All of his later marriages started when he was 53 years previous when his Dawah actions have been at their peak and he was completely absorbed in his preaching duties. After these clear evidences, how can a fair-minded scholar declare that he was self-indulgent?
In addition, the early biography of the Prophet’s life reveals that he was pure in all features of life. It will not be doable to think about that he acquired married for pure needs. If there was any carnal need behind his marriages, it’s not logical to desire widows or divorcees. The solely virgin amongst his wives was Aishah, the daughter of the primary Caliph of Islam. He married multiple for noble humanistic functions and stylish objectives. Every certainly one of them performed an eminent function within the propagation of his teachings among the many Muslim ladies.
Also, the Prophet (ﷺ) supposed by these marriages to help them as they’ve nobody to vouch for them. That is why he chosen the widows, the divorced, and the aged.
Furthermore, he was solely to obey Allah’s Orders, each second of his life was sensible translation of Allah’s Commands and Instructions. Allah says about him: Say, “I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord.” (Quran 7:203)
In the matter of marriage, he was merely guided by Allah with a view to obtain the humanistic and Dawah objectives.
How can we increase such doubts whereas we’re speaking a few man who was in a position to dwell because the kings despite the fact that he most well-liked a way of life of the poor? Then How you declare that he was ruled by carnal needs?
The Prophet (ﷺ) was a person who selected the lifetime of subsistence and contentment willingly, though he was in a position to present the calls for of his pure wives, and he had the power to offer them an opulent life which was simple for him, then how are you going to declare that he was ruled by his carnal needs?
*Prophet and His Opponent’s Testimony:*
Why all these illusions after 1400 years, whereas he was recognized earlier than his marriage and after his marriage with chastity? Why these suspicions now whereas he was an emblem of purity, honesty, truthfulness, and all types of fine qualities?
And once they grew to become his bitter enemy after the declaration of the prophethood, they by no means accused him of polygamy, though they have been very keen to search out any flaw in his character. This denotes that it by no means was a degree of weak spot in his persona, slightly they have been assured that it’s a kind of perfection and a form of philanthropy, as he cared for the widows, divorcee, helpless and needy by these marriages. If it was any kind of flaw, they might have been the primary to lift such questions, but it surely by no means occurred.
His boyhood, his youthfulness and his center age have been open web page in entrance of the individuals. He by no means surrendered to the pleasures, promiscuity, or inhibitions in the course of the prime of his youth, whereas his coevals have been indulged in all sorts of indecencies. During the times of ignorance, all impermissible acts have been permissible, however despite that, he was recognized by his purity, honesty, reverence and sobriety.
