Polygamy in Islam: The Amount of Miseducation that surrounds the subject of polygamy in Islam is simply criminal

BismiLLAH AlhamduliLLAH  Polygamy Ijmaʿa : Why I Wrote This Book I wrote “Polygamy Ijmaʿa” , a digital book published on Google Docs for FREE because the amount of miseducation on polygamy in Islam is criminal. This is a book that fills a gap in Islamic literature . If you read it , you’ll learn things you’ve never heard about polygamy in Islam. For example: In Al-Mughnī, Volume 9, page 483 , all of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ agreed that a Muslim woman can decide NOT to be in polygamy. The False Narrative Around Polygamy Polygamy is usually presented in Islam as something that a woman has no choice about. In fact, it is presented as a VIRTUE . Men are portrayed as beings who are incapable of controlling their sexual desires without polygamy. THESE ARE ALL LIES. There is NO evidence in Islamic literature that connects male sexual desire with polygamy AT ALL . In fact, polygamy was made permissible for only one reason , and that reason is documented severa...

ALLAH Is Closer Than You Imagine (The Tasbih from Masjid-l-Haram)

-
Image
BismiLLAH AlhamduliLLAH  ALLAH Is Closer Than You Imagine When I performed Umrah about two months ago, I met a fellow sister from Nigeria who has lived in Makkah for  about 11 years. She was so warm to me—and she speaks Yorùbá. She isn’t Yorùbá by tribe, but she lived in Kwara, and that is how she learned my language. So we spoke Yorùbá inside Masjid al-Ḥarām . We were both happy. As a parting gift, she gave me a tasbih counter. She herself is like a light and a delight. May Almighty ALLAH preserve her. That counter turned out to be a very meaningful gift. A Quiet Intention About two years ago, a grandmother accepted Islam through me. She only began observing Ṣalāh last week. I wanted to give her a gift. And the tasbih counter came to my heart—because it is beautiful to say tasbih after Ṣalāh. Still, I debated with myself. Should I give it to her or not? I kept telling myself, “It’s my gift.” Yet, I went to her house anyway, with the intention of giving it to h...

We are not having the right conversations about Polygamy in Islam

BismiLLAH AlhamduliLLAH  We Are Not Having the Right Conversation About Polygamy We are not having the right conversation about polygamy—and it is destroying this Ummah. We should not be centering the conversation on how a wife is supposed to react after her husband marries another wife. That framing is already dishonest. It assumes inevitability. It assumes she had no say. It assumes the matter was decided over her, not with her. That is not the Islamic position. What the Companions Actually Agreed Upon In Al-Mughnī , Volume 9, page 483, it is clearly stated that the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ had a consensus that a woman may decide not to be in a polygamous marriage. Yes— a Muslim woman can decide not to be in polygamy . This is no different from the well-known ruling that although Muslim men are permitted to marry Christian women, a Christian woman still has the right to refuse . Permission for a man does not eliminate choice for a woman . Permissi...

Polygamy in Islam: What the Companions Agreed Upon (Not Sexual Desire)

BismiLLAH AlhamduliLLAH  Polygamy in Islam: What the Companions Agreed Upon (Not Sexual Desire) When it comes to polygamy in Islam, many of us have been lied to . Did you know? None of the daughters of the Prophet ﷺ practiced polygamy. The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ agreed that a woman who does not want polygamy may stipulate it as a condition in her marriage contract. There is no evidence in the Qur’an and Sunnah for the claim that polygamy was made permissible because of male sexual desires . Once again, there is literally no evidence connecting polygamy to men’s sexual desires . If you would like to know the only authentic reason polygamy was made ḥalāl , and uncover many other hidden truths , here is your free Polygamy resource .

She Accepted Islam

BismiLLAH AlhamduliLLAH  She Accepted Islam As a person of grassroots da‘wah, one of the greatest feelings in the world is when your da‘wah efforts yield results. About two years ago, I spoke to an elderly grandma in my neighbourhood until she accepted Islam. I placed the Shahādah on her tongue. I also taught her how to observe Ṣalāh. I tried so hard, but she never started observing Ṣalāh. So I kind of gave up. Today, almost two years later, I visited her and subḥānAllāh—one of the first things she said to me in the Yorùbá language was, “I started praying. I started last week.” This was absolutely unexpected, and verily, all praise belongs to ALLĀH. Listen, guys—I wrote, with my own hand, pen on paper, the simplest instructions on how to observe Ṣalāh in the Yorùbá language for her. I tried so hard. So, so hard. I did a lot to ensure that she observed Ṣalāh, and nothing worked. To be honest, I had lost all hope, and I was no longer expecting her to actually observe Ṣalāh un...

Poverty Is Not Piety in Islam: Qur’an 2:201, Provision, and the Neglect of Believing Women

BismiLLAH AlhamduliLLAH  Poverty Is Not Piety: A reflection on why financial neglect of believing women is oppression  Distinguished  Worshippers of ALLAH , In Sha ALLAH, I will never stop speaking about this. I will keep speaking about believing men who use money as a weapon against believing women . And I will keep speaking until this wickedness stops being dressed up as religion. Over the years, we have raised funds — too many times — for women who needed medical treatment, food, rent, and basic human survival. These were not women without husbands. These were women whose husbands had money . Let that sink in. As I'm writing this, a lot of normal men can never even imagine a situation where they ate to their fill but their wife and children are starving. But I'm telling you categorically even if you're not aware that there are a lot of practising Muslim men who are playing with the fire of ALLAH by depriving their families of sufficient and obligatory financial ...
