Counting Blessings withCautions: Wisdom andVitality of Polygamy In Islam`
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 9
Abstract
Polygamy is an issue recently generates heated debate regarding the rights and liberty of women. It causes concern to non-Muslim as they consider it to be an act of oppression against women. The Westwith their advocacy for women rights and liberty wants Muslims to jettison this social practice, which predate even Islam itself. The West and other who condemn polygamy either does so out of ignorance or to belittle a practice that is so entrenched and well perfected by Islam. This paper argues that there is great social wisdom in polygamous practice and vital blessings to enjoy both in this world and hereafter. But it must be approached with knowledge and caution. The Prophet (S.A.W.)‘s polygamous marriages and the Qur‘an provide illustrative examples in taking those cautions and in practicing it based on the Shari‘a to enjoy these blessings, accordingly.
