Dialogue with Allah

Sustain reverent dialogue with Allah through prayers. Prayer is the real power point of faith. All your troubles ain’t grounds for regret. They are mere challenges to be conquered. Triumph ain’t cheap nor easy. Waste not your time in doubt nor fear. Pray. It ties us all to Allah’s mercy and yield personal powers of control and balance. Fear Allah. Do good. May you and yours obtain Allah’s highest earthly victory and find eternal  bliss in paradise.  Happy Jumaat!

Polygamy: Not treating wives fairly is haram

One of the things that Allah has enjoined in His Book is fair treatment of wives. Allah says:

“You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent desire, so do not incline too much to one of them (by giving her more of your time and provision) and leave the other or others hanging. And if you do justice, and do all that is right and fear Allah by keeping away from all that is wrong, then Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Q4:129)

The justice that is required here is a fair division of nights, and the giving of each wife her rights as regards feeding, clothing and shelter. This does not refer to emotions or love, because man has no control over his feelings. But some people, when they marry more than one wife, favour one and neglect the other, spending more time with one wife and spending more on her, and ignoring the other.

This is haraam, and the person who does this will come on the Day of Resurrection in the condition described by the Prophet (s.a.w) in the hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah: “Whoever has two wives and gives one of them preferential treatment, will come on the Day of Resurrection with half of his body leaning.” (Narrated by Abu Dawud, 2/601; see also Saheeh al-Jaami’, 6491).
