Polygamy is the worst mistake i made in my life cos it has ruined me totally to be in a polygamy setting is not easy work I just pray that may Allah make it easy for all muslim sisters out there who are in a polygamy setting cos as for me I know what a polygamy setting is like may Allah grant us shiffa and patience ( Amin)
Assalamalykum sis, jazakumlahukhaira for this beautiful video. I think you should also make a video about how sisters can cope if it comes their way. Polygamy is halal and anyone could find themselves in it. Alhamdulillahi It starts with our orientation. When I watched lecture of sis yasmine mogheed about how to love. It made it easier. The same problem about sharing hubby is what we see in the cases of mother in laws. Loving Allah before Loving others and understanding if we die today some else will definitely take over all that we are ready to loose our deen for will make one understand no man is worth loosing your al janah for. I'm not asking women to put up with anything and everything but constant reminder of if and how things can turn around will make us understand and we can get through this with patience and not make rational decisions. I hope many brothers take lessons from this and stop discarding their wife's feelings. Obviously men in everywhere I've been enjoy this topic in their favour and immediately gets in defence mode when its discussed. It takes the fear of Allah for them to think right when in to it. The truth is the test of Polygamy is greater for men than women but society has made we women more of the victims. Also the Incoming wife's too is another problem. Most don't give a damn about the first wife and even get selfish. A second wife should understand she made a choice to share a man so should not be ready to separate him from his first family. Most of the time the children are not even been considered in all the game and a child who can't go to bed without her dad now can't understand why she barely sees him. There's a lot to this matter . To cap it all if men are doing it for Allah sake their attitude is more composed and the wife hardly feel insecure compared to those doing it for greed. May Allah protect us from the evil of the society and not give us a burden greater than we can bear. Amin.
May Allah hold you accountable for all the marriages you've ruined and sisters you've turned away from marriage! May Allah hold you accountable for all the fitna you have spread!
My family members used to bully my mum in front of my dad by jokingly suggesting he marry a second wife. This caused me to feel sick when I heard men talking about polygamy because I viewed it as a way of creating conflict between women and therefore enforcing control. I look forward to watching this video to return to Allahs wisdom behind the practice and the kind sunnah of it all. Barakallah feeki for this video, sister.
Salam that’s cruel - I’m very outspoken and gobby in my family I’d definitely not tolerate such crap. My dad’s sister tried to get my dad who is very simple minded to divorce my mum . However dad stood his ground and stuck with us. Needles to say that aunt of mine - well me and my siblings and maternal side treated her like scum our whole life - total boycott. My mum forgave her in her old age , I’m ok now but I keep her at arms length. Non of her kids care for her . I protect my parents aggressively. Kids have a job too, if you see the abuse - call it out , protect the mother / father . Sometime parents need the assurance and help of their children
You can know go to those nasty ppl, and encourage their spouse to remarry . And remind them evil they did to your mum. Also use the Ayah in the Quran which tell about the punishment of those who scheme to separate a married couples
“There is no compulsion in religion” [al-Baqarah 2:256]... Gaslighting and Manipulating women into polygamy marriages!!!. Polygamy marriages are corruption... """And you will never be able to be equal between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. From Quran surah Nisa"""... Muslim ummah keep telling others don't follow your desires, women are desires!. But desires can be very powerful. They can hold sway over the mind and lead a person away from reality. When a person follows desires and submits to them, without giving consideration to the guidance received from God, he goes astray. Following of desires is directly linked to misguidance. To understand the effect of desire it is important to analyze what desire does to human intelligence. It puts a curtain over the eyes of the mind. It makes a person so attached to its target that reality is overlooked. The conditions to understand reality include an objectivity to it. It means acceptance of reality whether palatable or bitter, whether it is for personal gain or against it. These conditions are not in line with the dictates of desire. In another verse Almighty Allah puts forth this truth in even stronger terms. He calls desire the god of some human beings. He says: Have you seen him who has taken his desire to be his god? (Q 25:43). Such a god has been condemned in the strongest terms in Hadith. The Prophet (s) has said: There is no god under the sky that has been worshipped other than Allah that is worse than the desire. (Taken from Tafsīr Namūne). No other deity is as despicable as the human being’s own desire. Imam al-Sādiq (a) says: Be apprehensive of your desires in the same way as you are apprehensive of your enemies. For there is no greater enemy for human beings than their own desires and what their tongues reap (Al-Kulaynī, al-Kāfī, 2: 336.) Following of desires is often not recognized for the lowly quality it is. It can be masqueraded as freedom, having fun, being with the masses, etc. It clads a veil over the person as well as others who are exposed to him. Only those who have insight and reflect on reality are able to see through it. This verse reminds us of the danger! Polygamy marriages come under desires!Polygamy marriages are corruption... Destroying the frist marriages!. Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Satan places his throne over the water and he sends out his troops. The closest to him in rank are the greatest at causing tribulations. One of them says: I have done this and this. Satan says: You have done nothing. Another one says: I did not leave this man alone until I separated him from his wife.

Popular male figures on the online dawah scene have made a complete mess of the polygamy topic, they focus too much on the male perspective, and when they dabble into the female perspective they immediately jump to the jelousy conclusion and wrap up the topic. I really like how sr Nafisa breaks down each of the reasons besides jealousy (just to clarify jelousy in an of itself is also a VERY valid feeling in this situation as well) and why some women will refuse to engage in polygamy. This video was much needed alhamdulilah, I hope it goes viral.
I hate it when they talk as if the wife's feelings don't matter and as if polygamy is mandatory, whereas in fact, Allah has limited polygamy to a maximum of four wives and didn't prohibited it completely because in the times of war many women ended up as widows with many orphan children (clearly stated in the same verse but they only take the part that satisfies their selfish desires). It's hypocritical how they bring the “context” argument for every controversial verse, but not this one. I was really pissed off when a dawah guy said “I don't worship your hormones” ; well, Muslim women don't worship your hormones either...
Agree, just look at Ali dawah channel stance on it. The brothers done great stuff but the debate on polygamy is very disappointing. Very Male perspective. In some cases it does not suit all couples. No. People don't have the maturity for it.
Oftentimes polygamy is used as a distraction and excuse not to work on what is in right front of you, especially if the couple are experiencing marital problems The man's thinking goes something like this "My wife is making me miserable Let me get another wife that can make me happy" It's flawed thinking because at the end of the day the only person we have control of is ourselves No one and nothing can make us happy but ourselves Polygamy will never solve your marital problems That's like trying to solve an internal issue with external solutions when the only person we should be staring at is the person looking back at us in the mirror
@@sholay706 how come? If the first marriage is terrible the second won’t be any better cuz now you have to split the resources. From my observations, I see polygynous marriages end up with someone getting divorced anyway.
@@sholay706 no aren’t cuz her wealth is hers and it is not her responsibility to spend it even on herself. Man you are the exact example that Nafisa is referring to in the video.
JazakAllah khair, I think all men need to watch this video and deep it. As a man, if you can’t afford the cost of two whole households by yourself, you should not be getting a second wife. If your wife still pays for some of her stuff, you should not be getting a second wife. If you have arguments with your wife or some “irreconcilable” dispute, you are not ready to get a 2nd wife. A lot of weak an immature men who are not ready for polygyny are sadly allowed to go through with it. Imams setting these marriages up need to do more to determine no injustice is taking place. Or maybe the father of the prospective 2nd wife needs to do better in vetting these men. As a man, you are Qawammun, Allah placed you as the provider for your family. The average man today has been sadly weakened, islamically, mentally, physically, financially
@@MartianTane I don’t think Allah said he prefers a man to have one wife without conditions. I believe there was a condition placed on that preference (“if you fear that you will not be able to treat them justly”). It’s not a blanket preference. But you’re right about the problem being Muslims. But most women would accept it if men weren’t so weak. When I hear why women don’t like it, they point out fears that they wouldn’t have if men weren’t so weak.
@@emma647Cannot stop a man from remarrying, that's taking away his right. A woman can give herself the right do divorce if a condition has been breached. There's a difference between taking someone's right and giving yourself a right.
And the whole “sick wife” thing is just atrocious. Imagine being sick and now you lose support and gain emotional pain along with the physical. People truly don’t understand what they even say.
Equally when a man is sick/can’t provide the woman has every right to divorce him because of the fact that maintenance is a right. But I don’t think in reality most women are cold enough to leave their partner for financial gain.
True- but for some terminally I’ll women- they want their husband to find someone and take pride in helping him with that. That is an act of kindness LOVED. Y Allah (swt).❤️ May Allah (swt) save us from this, but I’d like to think that if for no other reason or time during my marriage- thus would be cause for me to accept it!❤️
@jabbwumani7095 I feel that is sad too. I guess ot comes down to love and caring. I've stayed with my husband through his illness and the poverty that followed. I am 100% sure I'm not the only sister . But also I know the opposite is also true.
Absolutely on the nose. Someone who loves you will care about how their decisions affect you. Real men don’t stomp on their woman’s heart to get to another one. it’s honestly so sad that this has to be explained. If these men wanted to practice the religion correctly they would take into account kindness, empathy, and love. It’s simple, if you can’t even take care of the financial, physical, and spiritual well-being of your wife, don’t take another one! They forget they will be questioned about the treatment of their wives on the day of judgement. Smh. May Allah be with all of the women going through this trial. Ameen.
Agreed. But you wo*m'n will also be questionned as to how you'll treated your husbands. Undoubtedly, most of you who will be in the hellfire will be there for this very reason. Allah is not biased...
Yes in Islam most women go to hellfire because there is no place for them in Jannah where “good” muslim men will have each 72 virgin girls and will have super powerful and lasting erection that can only dream of on the earth. In Christian heaven you don’t need sex because heaving is infinitely better than any earthy pleasures
There’s one thing you didn’t touch up on that I think is a key takeaway from this. Men always want to put us through something they themselves cannot handle. Just the thought of another man so much as so looking at his wife fills him with anger and rage. But that’s not jealousy or emotionalism apparently. I mean men would literally shoot each other in the face if polygamy was the other way around. I say that simply to make a point. But we’re the hysterical emotional freaks because we get jealous and cry. That to me is hilarious because it shows you how men have such a false perception about themselves as these stoic logical creatures when they’re anything but that 😂 Their jealousy is supposedly “protective”. Ours is just there. So they can explain their feelings, but we can’t. I’m sorry sister. I commend you for this video especially as I sister who has struggled with marriage a lot and just decided to opt out because it’s not something I can see myself doing. For me it’s reached a point where it’s not even worth it. I value my space and tranquility so much. I wouldn’t be able to tolerate nonsense because I don’t even tolerate it from myself 😂
Clap lol, she said I don't even tolerate nonsense from myself ,lol,you are my kind of friend,I wish more women would have your brain,because it seems like a lot of these women are on leashes
Any time I raise this issue with a man like "imagine your wife was allowed to have 4 husbands" they don't think about it because they end it w "it'd be haram so pointless to think about" it's like can your daft brain not pretend for a second....? I don't get it. Men foam and get all rabid at the thought of a man accidentally looking at his woman's ankles in a passing glance let alone her being sexually with another man
What you said at the end, it's so me I chose to be single and I'm happy with this decision, I can't handle men selfishness, I'm not someone's maid , I'm not someone's punching bag, I'm not someone's property and I don't want to deal with interrogations and restrictions coming home from my work as a teacher , I dress decently with hijab , I don't need a man telling me what to wear and how to practice my religion. There might be a man out there that's understanding and respectful of my space and the hardship of womenhood, I didn't meet him yet
Polygamy was actually recommended to HELP women who are orphans and widows, and otherwise to settle political unease/to balance the gender-marriage ratio. And men are using polygamy only from the male perspective to satisfy their sexual desires. It's not nice.
Maybe I'm incorrect but the way you're phrasing your sentence has an underlying tone of implying she's incorrect. And I'm sorry for my words here but it makes you look extremely ignorant. Go look it up yourself so you'll absorb this knowledge better. What did you think the reason was that Allah swt made this halal? It's definitely not one sided and only beneficial for the husband to satisfy his needs 😂
@@iMitiga the problem is you try to refute this polygamy in a very detailed manner I supposed you had a PhD degree on it😄. Matters of the religion especially those that have to do with rullings are supposed to be followed, sometimes it might not be easy I know. Just because is not easy doesn't make it wrong. You again try to justify your point by saying it is meant for widows.. BLA BLA, I supposed you have evidence for that. By the way is just a conversation, I am open to correction
This video is what all men need to watch at the masjid or at Eid prayer or something . My father can’t even provide for his kids and he’s trying to marry another wife, as an elder sister this traumatized me so much like you can’t even give 200$ to your current wife and kids to spend on themselves and you want another one for what ? This is the reason if I do get married inshaallah I’ll tell my husband up front , if you want another wife , give me my divorce because growing up with that miserable household I refuse to live it again
But what abt if he can afford it? If u marry a very well established man who has been working since he was 16 and now 40yrs old so has saved up A LOOOT. You will be looking out for ur sister who will not have to go out to work (at least reduce hours) and be a prey for men
@@VICTORIOUSAFGHANS227 no he needs to worry about providing for his kids and making them happy , not worrying About getting another wife 🙄🙄 that’s selfish asf and that’s wrong
Divorced women say that it is sunnah to marry divorced women. When the man says polygamy, oh no, what about the women's feelings, sunnah is out of the window? If we just say to ourselves, i will do what will make Allah happy, all problems solved.
@@freespirit7835y’all don’t marry divorced women or widows do you? That’s the issue. Polygamy is supposed to benefit women more than men. Yet men will marry with their whims. Not actual sunnah
It has always disgusted me when a man practiced polygamy, and many of them cannot even afford a wife. A woman who marries a man who is already married is usually out of desperation, and the man is taking advantage of the situation. There are few circumstances that should be allowed, e.g if the woman is not able to have children or she becomes an invalid or she suffers from diseases. An imam should never marry a man who simply wants to take another wife without good reason to support the untamed desire of a wolf. In the end, the one that allows the marriage is the one that commits a sin for allowing the breaking of a family and the suffering that it causes.
My mom has this story where she basically says that she’s seen brothers want polygamy but instead of taking care of their wives, they have basically these women living off government programs and section 8 housing because these men barely had the means to take care of one wife and family let alone 3 more. Husbands must provide the life she was raised in and more.

Prophet wanted to put a stop to all cruelties to women. He preached kindness towards them. He told the Muslims: "Fear Allah in respect of women." And: "The best of you are they who behave best to their wives." And: "A Muslim must not hate his wife, and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, let him be pleased with one that is good." And:"The more civil and kind a Muslim is to his wife, the more perfect in faith he is." The Prophet (peace be upon him) was most emphatic in enjoining upon Muslims to be kind to their women when he delivered his famous khutba on the Mount of Mercy at Arafat in the presence of one hundred and twenty-four thousand of his Companions who had gathered there for the Hajj al-Wada (Farewell Pilgrimage). In it he ordered those present, and through them all those Muslims who were to come later, to be respectful and kind towards women. He said: "Fear Allah regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of Allah, and made their bodies lawful with the word of Allah. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you in respect of their food and clothing according to your means." In Islam a woman is a completely independent personality. She can make any contract or bequest in her own name. She is entitled to inherit in her position as mother, as wife, as sister and as daughter. She has perfect liberty to choose her husband. The pagan society of pre-Islamic Arabia had an irrational prejudice against their female children whom they used to bury alive. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was totally opposed to this practice. He showed them that supporting their female Islam raised the status of women, and made them equal with men in most rulings. So women, like men, are commanded to believe in Allah and to worship Him. And women are made equal to men in terms of reward in the Hereafter. Women have the right to express themselves, to give sincere advice, to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and to call people to Allah. Women have the right to own property, to buy and sell, to inherit, to give charity and to give gifts. It is not permissible for anyone to take a woman’s wealth without her consent. For more about the rights of women in Islam, see the detailed answer.Islam showed full respect to the women and ensured rights, dignity and honour and equal status of men and women in case of marriage because for being a valid marriage acquiescence of the bride groom as well as bride is mandatory. In this regard no one is superior.The Quran explicitly states that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. Furthermore, the Quran: forbids female infanticide (practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia and other parts of the world) instructs Muslims to educate daughters as well as sons.
A man just needs to be able to provide food, shelter, clothing, leadership and sex. Everything else is at his discretion, not according to the woman's entitlement
It's disgusting how some have taken what Allah created to benefit women to emotionally, and spiritually bully us. He chose her, I chose me and my sanity. The betrayal was too much for me. I told him it was going to destroy us. We were married for 15 years. I asked for a Khula and now he's alone begging me to come back. Absolutely NOT, he will remember this for the rest of his life. I didn't benefit at all. I tried to stay, I couldn't handle it. He really thought I was jealous, it wasn't that at all. I could see the train going off track, crashing and burning. I told him it would be over in 90 days, it was. I asked him if he was unhappy, he said no I said why would you expose us to all the drama and fitnah? He said it was his decision. I said ok, you're going to be alone. I cried so hard, my hair fell out, my blood pressure was through the roof. He didn't care, he said so you want me to make this decision based on your feelings. Look who's in their feelings now. Bottom line, if your initial wife doesn't want to, he shouldn't. He now realizes that I loved him and supported him totally and completely.
I bet you 90% of the men wouldn't have a seat for this conversation 😂, is so funny how they just misunderstand the concept of polygamy and call the first woman an angry bird lol, anyways may Allah grant us understanding and Iman.
Sisters you are in the wrong religion, Mohamed wouldn’t approve your words, women are made to serve men until he dies so he be ready to meet other 72 virgins and will have an everlasting erection. You muslim women don’t get 72 handsome men in Jannah, sorry. Jus follow Jesus who shed his blood for all of us including Muslims, Hindus etc, no best earthy pleasures can compete with real heaven.
There is actually no "concept of polygamy", that's the real problem muslims have. They turn it into something religious, though it's actually something totally cultural.
I remember a time when a friend of mine told me about his aunt who never acted the same since his uncle married another wife and couldn't understand why it was so difficult for women to accept polygamy. I told him to imagine sharing his wife with another man and asked him how it'll make him feel. He told me it wouldn't be cool and i said exactly. The only difference between the two is that you are permitted to do that and she isn't, but every other feeling is the same.

I dont know in which sura, sunna it is written that because a man can treath all his 4 wives equal; its better ge has one wife. Most men forget this statement. For me, i rejected islam because i dont deal with the dessert arabs religion who enslaved and killing africans. And i am not from quraish tribe. Muhammed came for his own tribe. Least but not least, let the tell you that the kill the original muhammed and it was abu abukari who is the fake muhammed and was a killer, a murder and a pedophile!
FINALLY a perspective that's not watered down and flowered up. These are my thoughts exactly. It's extremely dismissive and disrespectful when men say the only reason that women have an issue with it is because of jealousy. There's so many other factors that just get overlooked and women get told to just get over it and it's so disheartening. Thank you for finally giving perspectives that are more accurate to what issues we TRULY have.
18:00 OMG ! You just described my late father Allah y rahmou every time he had a new wife ! My dad's polygamy is the main reason why as a 39 years old never married woman , I am highly traumatized by marriage and polygamy.
Farah,It is best to forgive and forget. Sometimes it is not best to hold grudges as that hurts you more and May Allah have mercy on her deceased father. Forgiveness sets you free and you can focus on the right things in life.
you're right, I went through all that, and after 4 years of effort I'm giving up and getting a divorce. They know perfectly well what they're doing, but they don't care because they're selfish, they're only focused on their enjoyment and they have no measure in it. My health is destroyed. I look forward to the peaceful and secure life I will build with my children
@@Therebelliousprince001 why do you think that people around you are so ignorant ... I have been in the process of divorce for a long time ... and my husband ruined the marriage and I am just saving myself and the children
@@Therebelliousprince001 you know it is possible to live without a man ... Aisa r.a. was a widow for 57 years...and if Allah blesses me with a good husband, that wouldn't be so bad either
Great video👏 I think the message here is that men can marry more than one wife only if he can do justice between his wives in the way Islam teaches men to do. Otherwise men will be held responsible for it in the hereafter.
@@m.a.8032How is it impossible? Justice is primarily in time and money. Surely a man can be just. Even a broke man can find a woman who wants misyar marriage, and then he can be "unjust" without sinning. Don’t make it mission impossible.
To be honest men can’t be fair whatsoever. They might be able to pour their money on their wives evenly, but they are not gonna give the same treatment evenly cuz they are naturally going to lean towards one wife and our prophet peace be upon him was an example of that, he wasn’t perfectly perfect, but he was the prophet, women were falling head over heels for him. We don’t want just money from men, we also want fair love and treatment which is impossible to get with polygamy, so if you want wives who are not gonna cause you headaches just marry women who don’t care about you.
I have seen some men marrying so many wives secretly but end up having different kids. When the wives find out, they get a divorce but he fails to notice that he has no one at the end. The kids don’t know each other and no home in the end. Was it worth it?Having one home can have more blessings. So let’s appreciate what we have rather than getting greedy. Sisters don’t agree to be a second option in someone’s life as you need to respect and value yourself.

So it's a lose-lose situation then either wich way it wuda went. Damned if he told them and Damned if he didn't (wich in this case he didn't). But did he harm the women in anyway? Were the children harmed?? Was he able to maintain wen all the wives DIDN'T KNOW?? You women act like this is "acceptable" that bcuz if or at 1nce y'all find out that the husband married again, that sumhow thas GROUNDS to divorce wen not taking into account the factors before she found out!? If that man has not harmed you or his children not put y'all further into Debt then where's the harm?? But the true & real Harm is from you women who ABANDON the marriage bcuz you're NOT the ONLY WIFE or the ONLY one who had his kids and now wanna separate/estrange whole sibling lineages/relationships bcuz you dont wanna believe in the whole of the Book of Allah awj. You'd rather split a good Muslim Man's whole Household than to stand firm and be patient thru the ordeal of Polygyny. Thas wat makes me angry about sisters like that. Yes, jealousy is a real feeling and I'm not denying that, but wen a good Muslim man is doing his best to strive in the way of Our Prophet sawa and following his sawa Sunnah and you women impede or obstruct in justice of the family Unit then you do a disservice to your own Faith and Hereafter and might even be blocking a whole gang of blessings you CUD HAVE gotten if you wud take on Polygyny as a jihad against your own selfish Nafs on the Day of Judgement to be rewarded for. But nobody wants to talk about that part tho, huh?!
@@rabbannibey1128 Marriage is built on trust, respect and confidence. If the husband hides a second familie, where is the trust? If you can lie about something so major, what else can you do? How can I trust you with my life? Because thats what it is about, TRUST and RESPECT! How can I trust you not to abuse the resposibility and power over me that Allah swt give you? Why are you taking my chose away? Because it is MY chose if I want to stay with you or divorce you. Marriage is partnership, US not YOU or ME. Your half of my deen, just as I`m half of you deen. A husband should know his wife, her habits and like/dislike. Ask yourself: Why is it so importet to for you to have a second wife, that you would rather destroy your marriage and hurt your other half? Who are you to take away my chose when Allah swt gave my the freedom to chose? I`m not against poly but I`m against breaking your oath and lying. I`m against shaming women becaus of their choice. I`m against hurting your partner, because nothing hurts more then SO telling you that your not important or loved enough that the "temptation" of being with other women is more significant then what we have. TLDR; Hiding your second familie is a lie and you take away the chose of your wife who is half of your deen. If a guy really wants 4 wifes then he can be honest before nikkah and tell the girl that. Why is it necessary to marry a second wife and hurt you SO? PS; English is not my first or second language. PSPS; It haram to lie🙂 Edit: Because I wanted to add more and correct any grammar.
@@rabbannibey1128 It's always easy to say when you aren't the one going through the ordeal. Until you experience it yourself you can't dictate how a sister should feel or act when facing such a trial. Is polygamy just about the man alone? Do you think hurt only has to with financial or physical aspects? What about emotional and phycological hurts? Even the Prophet SAW who had Allah's guidance when he practiced polygamy the way it should be, what happened among the mother's of Islam? Talk more of people who are majorly doing it for their own selfish interests. As a good Muslim there are many other ways one could perform jihad or Sunnah not just marrying more than one wife which might even be a cause for earning Allah's displeasure when you do it in a way that wasn't prescribed. Some people haven't even completed their pillars of Islam that is compulsory but only want to do the Sunnah of marrying more than one wife. Actions, Allah said, would be judged according to intentions.
I like how you presented the genuine concerns of polygyny. So many women pretend to be single for assistance and I have always said they are lying for resources that could go to other families truly in need of it.
I divorced my ex one of the reasons being he wanted me to go on assistance while he was working cause he didn’t want to give me anything or lose money on me. He only cared about saving for himself on the pretence it was for us. I’m not stupid. I knew if I got busted this man would never bail me out cause he had no intensions of supporting me. What I regret though is giving him a cent of my money. I urge women stop doing this 50/50 because u will end up the loser in the end. A man will come and divorce u or marry a second wife with so much audacity not knowing your kindness towards him for making living easier on them by working a job to go help him financially.
Thank you so much sister Nafiza for this subject ! My own mother suffered because of polygamy her in laws suddenly treated her so bad I am wondering if it is the reason why she died so young ! Unfortunately most people who practice polygamy have this primitive village mentality. I believe the smart open minded one don’t behave that way. As a French imam once said : we do not build a castle by destroying an empire !
Statistically- women in polygamous marriages suffer diseases and die earlier than single and/or monogamous married women. May Allah (swt) have mercy and reward your mother with Jannah!❤️
Hello Nafisa. I am not a moslem, but i have wondered how muslim women handle this. I have seen a lot of your sisters in my community go through this and are not even allowed to talk to anyone or non moslems about this. Thanks for speaking about this and creating a space for women in polygamy. Your voice is so strong against Ali Dawah and other Moslem men who shamelessly put down women who refuse to accept polygamy.

allah gave us the right to marry 4 women only if we can make it just between them and if we can't we have to stay with one , if a woman can't handle it, thats her going against the word of allah just like men desire to be with multiple women but we can't because we have to obey allah's words and go through the whole process of marriage , otherwise we will end up doing what these western people do and just be girlfriend boyfriend have 4 kids and never get married... or go and do adultery with multiple partners and risk having a lot of children with multiple women and ending with a lot of single mothers households. in conclusion allah knows his creation more than anyone and he created men and women with different attributes and gave us orders according to those differences.
Salam sister! You’ve brought such beautiful light to such a heavy topic in today’s world. As a single Muslimah I understand how difficult it can be for a wife take on the duties, child labor, domestic chores, and even work a full career/job, this too can upset some sisters on why their husband would want another wife. A lot of sisters have been forced to be masculine unfortunately. I love how you brought up how some women will not require anything from their husbands besides the honorary title of being a wife. In today’s world while being married does elevate both women and men’s social status, I’d argue that women who settle for less and only want a title of companionship will not be happy later in their lives. I’ve seen my aunt who was a beautiful wife, cared for her 6 children, raised them right, taught them Quran at home, now divorce her husband of 25 years because he had a secret family. It tore her a part and her sons do not respect their father any more. I genuinely feel sorry for any sister or auntie that experiences this pain. May Allah ease your heart ache. I learned recently we must not become too attached to another human being as they are truly not ours to begin with. Also if we lose something not just death we can say “inna lilahi waa inna rajoon” to Him we belong, and to Him we return. Everything in life has an expiration date. Not to change the topic of marriage and polygamy but I truly believe in the west if women raise their standards, become educated in deen and academics, create their own assets, and pray for good fortune Allah will guide you through every loss or hardship with ease. When I get married I plan to write this in my contract. To not engage in polygamy and if it’s done the consequences that will carry over. Know your rights sisters. This is something that should be discussed early before nikkah and have it written. If I’m wrong please correct me. Jazakh’Allah for this video sis!
@@abdulgamiedabderoef8628I guess some women don’t think holistic. Don’t ever think about "What if I become divorced one day and have trouble remarrying?"
An idea I found from RC Blakes is not to help the man to build. Men are generally not loyal and thankful, so often she will end up being resentful towards him when he later wants to marry a younger, trophy wife. I think women should require their husbands to be the man and provider of the house, as per Islam. Sister Nafisa is right, women require too little from men, I guess out of societal pressure and desperation.
Absolutely, some men can feel less of a man with the woman who helped him build because she saw him at his lowest. She reminds him of his struggle. When they become successful they go for younger women and splash money on them to seem like that “alpha” that he always wanted to be
@@sarahosman9030 yes, exactly right. This is also why women should not be their husbands’ therapists. The men unconsciously start hating their women once she knows all his weaknesses, because everyone wants to be seen in their best light to others.
You bring forth all good arguments...but I could not stand him wanting to have another wife. Knowing when he is not around, he is with her, having sex with her. That would not only cause jealousy but it would certainly instill a hatred in me towards him. I have to give him all my love and attention while I would only receive 50% in case of one extra woman and 25% in case of 3 women!! And I understand God allows it when certain conditions are met but God also urge men to be juste. And I feel that most men do are not driven by justice when making that decision, but by lust.
This is a sensitive topic and thank you addressing it. I do agree that some men do marry more than one wife even though they cannot afford to provide financial support. Nowadays some men look for single mothers as they can just take their belonging and move to live with them. There are good and bad guys out there so choose wisely girls.
The prophet showed an example of monogamy in his marriage to his first wife and also an example of polygyny. Men only reference the latter due to their egos.
Because they are selfish and only think about themselves, I have met many children who’s fathers were polygamous and they all complained and most resented their dads and complained saying it’s like they didn’t have a dad because he’s almost never around
Great thing to add. It's one of the biggest reasons women don't want it. Yeah maybe the children's father will love them but what if he gets manipulated by his second wife. What if one of his wives die and then who will take of the children that was born from her ? Step moms are horrible these days. And in most cases. I've known a girl in my class who's father committed adultery and was in an affair with his office colleague. He then told his wife that Islam has given him the right to marry another woman. Imagine the audacity to preach Islam after committing adultery. Then he married that woman. Few years later his first wife died through a disease. And now he wants his daughters to leave the home. Because his new wife doesn't like his daughters. 😊She wants to kick them out of home. And those girls their relatives aren't even capable of taking care of them. They aren't even married. They are literally children. Their step mom doesn't let them eat what's been cooked in the house. One day that woman burned one of their board exam certificate. And said oops I accidentally did it while cleaning your room. 😊And there are still men who will say polygamy is pious and a must to do thing. Okay you wanna marry more than one . Be JUST. DON'T GET MANIPULATED. HAVE SOME CONSCIENCE. ya Allah
Thank you sis for raising the topic. This is my understanding of polygamy. So feel free to correct me. Although Polygamy is permitted However it is by permission and not an obligation or recommendation in the Quran that a Muslim’s men should indulge in polygamy. At the time of the Prophet Muhammed (Peace upon Him) it was because thousands of Muslim men died in wars. What I don't understand is some Muslim’s men in the west want to have one wife in the west and one in for instance in thier native country.
From my perspective this happens primarily for two reasons. The first one is that polygamy is not legal recognized in Western countries. Therefore to provide legal backing to their second marriage they wish to have that spouse settle in Africa. The second reason is that most brothers from Africa eventually wish to permanently move back to Africa and therefore it makes sense to have a home and a spouse back there. Most sisters, especially from Africa, do not wish to ever permanently move back.
Correction: In the Prophet Muhammad's time (Peace Be Upon Him) polygamy was always there not just because of war. It was quite normal in many parts of the world. A lot of men even had much more than four wives. Islam came with new rulings to restrict it to four wives, so companions that had more than four divorced some of their wives and kept their favourite ones. In fact, there isn't a 'reason' for polygamy it's just allowed, but it comes with certain conditions (I.e each wife has their designated night among many other things)
@@khalidnoor7735 Polygamy is beneficial but isn't without its negative consequences, the negative consequences can be so serious, i.e the complete breakdown of someones mental health or the marriage itself, Allah swt would not have permitted it unless it served a purpose. the verse regarding polygamy was revealed at the time of war, although war is not the only time where polgamy addresses societal problems. that aside Allah swt instructs his servants to prioritise marrying the single, not those who are married already, therefore polygamy is there where sisters otherwise would not be able to find a husband for themseleves otherwise many times some men would have many wives and as a result other men would have none, we haven't yet lived in a time where women out number men by 4 to 1, although that time will come towards the end of the world. Also a man does need a reason to embark on pologamy, a man needs a reason to get married once, if i explain, if a man has no desire for marriage, intimacy etc, he cannot get married, a man can't get married more then once without any reason. hope that makes sense.
Finally a video that discusses this 'issue' or how it has become an issue, because of the naivety, overgiving, and yes dropping of standards from women and the entitled, selfish, and narcissistic attitude of some men (who immaturely hide behind religious allowances without even wanting to step up and take responsibility as requested by Allah SWT). The first step to really solving how this has because such a problem is for women to wise up, understand and put ourselves first for a change. We also forget that the Prophet (PBUH) was loyal to his first wife Khadija for 25 years and did not 'marry over' her.

My respect for Nafisa has trebled after this video. She has so many points that I have always thought about but could not articulate as well in words without feeling triggered and angry about it. And no I've never been married or in a relationship and I would never see myself with a man who engages in polygamy. Just not for me.

It means acceptance of reality whether palatable or bitter, whether it is for personal gain or against it. These conditions are not in line with the dictates of desire. In another verse Almighty Allah puts forth this truth in even stronger terms. He calls desire the god of some human beings. He says: Have you seen him who has taken his desire to be his god? (Q 25:43). Such a god has been condemned in the strongest terms in Hadith. The Prophet (s) has said: There is no god under the sky that has been worshipped other than Allah that is worse than the desire. (Taken from Tafsīr Namūne). No other deity is as despicable as the human being’s own desire. Imam al-Sādiq (a) says: Be apprehensive of your desires in the same way as you are apprehensive of your enemies. For there is no greater enemy for human beings than their own desires and what their tongues reap (Al-Kulaynī, al-Kāfī, 2: 336.) Following of desires is often not recognized for the lowly quality it is. It can be masqueraded as freedom, having fun, being with the masses, etc. It clads a veil over the person as well as others who are exposed to him. Only those who have insight and reflect on reality are able to see through it. This verse reminds us of the danger! Polygamy marriages come under desires!Polygamy marriages are corruption... Destroying the frist marriages!. Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Satan places his throne over the water and he sends out his troops. The closest to him in rank are the greatest at causing tribulations. One of them says: I have done this and this. Satan says: You have done nothing. Another one says: I did not leave this man alone until I separated him from his wife.

Just married 3 months ago and yes some of these men do think they don’t have to provide he told me you make more than me. You got it. Some of theses men need to learn the religion as well as we do. If you can afford to care for more than one wife and can be fair do it. If you can’t even afford the one you have then fear your lord.
So you are ok to share your body with other women, you will be his Mon-Tue wife. Do you have some self respect? I’m not a feminist , just asking out of common sense
So very to the point sister. If we are already coping with the bare minimum, financially and emotionally, how on earth can we deal with even less. I feel my husband was engaged in emotional infidelity with the intention of making it into a polygamous situation. His interactions with her took over his life, he even gave more attention to her children while neglecting ours. Unfortunately there are women out there who have no empathy for the first wife and just want the man they have set their sights on, regardless of what they are destroying. I do feel my ex husband has traits of a covert Narcissist and that this woman of his is also Narcissistic, my life would have been destroyed by the both of them. I know you’ve covered Narcissism before, but would it be possible for you to highlight Narcissistic men who fall into the situation of polygamy with a woman who herself may be Narcissistic? Jazak’Allah khair for your beneficial content ♥️
You've dropped some gems…I’m still watching the video as I write this; also another point is men use polygamy/polygyny as a symbol of status to portray having wealth and use multiple marriages as a way to emotionally blackmail women.
Allah humma baarik sister Nafisa! You´re doing real community work, mash´Allah! May you feel its fruits in both this dunya and after. I sensed some fear and apprehension on your part in the beginning. I might be wrong, but if you were scared, it´s not strange at all. The common sport for Muslim "brothers" (can we even call them that?) on social media today seems to be "Who can bash Muslim sisters the most?" Any sister who dares speak about this usually gets her video cut into clips and then they go on a rant to dismiss her and misrepresent her. Some amazing sisters on a popular Muslim RUclips show got ripped into shreds by so called Muslim brothers, and branded as "kaafir" astaghfarullah, for even bringing up the topic of polygyny being used the wrong way. The men treating the allowance of polygyny as a FARDH just cannot stand any woman even breathing in the direction of the topic. The common tricks and vocabulary to dismiss honest and brave sisters is "Feminist", "Affected by the West", "Past her prime" and "Misled". (Ironically, all of these men are sitting IN THE WEST with their podcast, living in Western countries, often on Western benefits and mostly craving Western white women as extra wives). Notice how they will never be able to touch the topic in a decent manner with facts. No, they resort to humiliation because they simply cannot admit what is happening in the Ummah regarding polygyny. And honestly, it seems like they don´t care. They will attack sisters´ faces, their age, their career, their education but...not talk about the topic at hand: Polygyny being misused WIDELY in the Ummah.
My apprehension was more on choosing my words carefully so as to best get across what I mean. I have NO FEAR OF ANYONE ON SOCIAL MEDIA for any come back. I don’t enjoy drama, it’s an energy I don’t attract but trust me I can absolutely stand firm for myself and my views. They are not my Lord so their thoughts or labels mean nothing to me. Much of what you have said is the truth. May Allah keep us all rightly guided and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us.
I’m a western man married to one wife and I have no cravings for other wives or mistresss because my only wife is more than enough for me. It’s more satisfying to have one wife that you love than having several wife that you don’t love all and have to force yourself to satisfy each equally. And how an average Muslim man can make 4 wives happy? Only reach can afford that, if you live in a developed country, you know how expensive it is, and I’m not talking about some lazy bums that make no money and blame the government, I’m tslking about men having decent and important professions - doctors, teachers, police officers, fire fighters. I don’t think Mohamed didn’t know that and made Islam convinient only rich men. Now imagine 20% of male population can afford 4 wives and marry them, that would leave very few women available for those doctors m, teachers etc, very unfair. And I don’t mention the pain that poor Muslim women have to endure sharing their husband with other p…ssies(sorry for French). Islam is not fair for non-rich men and women. Which proves this religion is a big lie . Allah is the best of decievers , first lied to billions of Christians putting someone else on the cross instead of Jesus, and after 600 years he lied to billions of Muslims.
@Crusader312 You are wrong. Islam is the First Religion that advises to marry only one. Marry 2 3 or 4 If you can treat them equally. Goes on to say, If you can't treat them equally then marry only one. Later in the Same Surah says And you won't be able to treat them equally. So what might be the equation of that? For a good Just honorable man one wife could be enough. For a greedy man Not even 4 wives are enough. What if a woman has children with a toxic man and ist Not able to get a divorce for whatever reason, maybe financial, maybe cultural. Wouldn't it be better for her to share the Situation with Others? This Kind of man, will have more wives anyway. Takes the burden off just one. And there are other circumstances where a noble man May have four wives and Takes Just Care of them and Protects them and fullfills their needs. But that is a huge responsibility.
@Crusader, And how is it Not fair? You say you crave only one wife and then get upset that wealthy men May be able to have more wives. That does Not make any sense

Jazakumllahu khayran sister.
Very nice video that actually comes with compassion. So many men try to attack women’s emaan for having these emotions, when there’s a natural way we were created as well as legitimate reasons why it wouldnt work for us. I used to think that even though I rather be an only wife that if my future husband were to engage in it, I wouldn’t be able to do much. After getting married my feelings changed and I don’t want any parts. I think there’s a reason I used to joke that I wouldn’t mind being among 4 wives of mufti menk if he were to want that lol bc there’s a correlation with great character, compassion, and sympathy that can things like that easier to deal with. But yea at this point of time, I want nothing to with it. I just wish to reactify my mindset about it so that I don’t transgress against Allah.😢

Great video. Honestly, as a Muslim woman, I HATE POLYGAMY... Not only because of jealousy, but I also don't want to catch any STDs' or STIs, my grandparents ( who are Muslims by the way ) never lived that lifestyle, and my mother never lived that lifestyle either. I'm not sure if my father ever try to pressure my mom into Polygamy even though he's Christian
@@gcsparts She knows the basics of her religion. Polygyny isn't one of the basics, nor is it mandatory. Stop trying to police how a woman feels and thinks about certain topics, she has every right to not want to be in a polygynous marriage. Which is why it is halal for a woman to put that as a stipulation before marriage.
As I woman I agree, men don't have maturity for it and clearly is destroying marriages - due to their selfish desire. However, you do not get STDs from it, as it is within a marital contract. STDs is only through extra marital affairs and adultery.
Hmmmm I was on phone talking with my husband not knowing he was expecting his so called 2wives that very night. I have distanced myself from that marriage. Because I felt betrayed
It hurts soo bad very much it happened to me to i have 2 kids with him and 6 months pregnant just found out , i used to touch him phone but now not anymore he changes password like nothing i just gave up and left everything in the hands of Allah mey Allah make it easy for me coz its really not easy at all
Sis, subhanAllah I feel like this is just great marriage advice in general. I don’t think men understand all that a wife does for them. Making me tear up, there’s so many things you’ve said that I’ve felt but never really understood the depths. I’m not in a polygamous relationship nor do I see myself ever being in one, you’ve spoke such haqq that us women go through. Marriage is jihad for women for a reason. Jazakallahu khairan ❤
I swear you will destroy your marriage if you keep listening to such "marriage advices". More like divorce advises lol. See, you already think you're doing too much and your husband, too little. Having this mentaliy will cause problems in your marriage.
Prophet wanted to put a stop to all cruelties to women. He preached kindness towards them. He told the Muslims: "Fear Allah in respect of women." And: "The best of you are they who behave best to their wives." And: "A Muslim must not hate his wife, and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, let him be pleased with one that is good." And:"The more civil and kind a Muslim is to his wife, the more perfect in faith he is." The Prophet (peace be upon him) was most emphatic in enjoining upon Muslims to be kind to their women when he delivered his famous khutba on the Mount of Mercy at Arafat in the presence of one hundred and twenty-four thousand of his Companions who had gathered there for the Hajj al-Wada (Farewell Pilgrimage). In it he ordered those present, and through them all those Muslims who were to come later, to be respectful and kind towards women. He said: "Fear Allah regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of Allah, and made their bodies lawful with the word of Allah. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you in respect of their food and clothing according to your means." In Islam a woman is a completely independent personality. She can make any contract or bequest in her own name. She is entitled to inherit in her position as mother, as wife, as sister and as daughter. She has perfect liberty to choose her husband. The pagan society of pre-Islamic Arabia had an irrational prejudice against their female children whom they used to bury alive. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was totally opposed to this practice. He showed them that supporting their female Islam raised the status of women, and made them equal with men in most rulings. So women, like men, are commanded to believe in Allah and to worship Him. And women are made equal to men in terms of reward in the Hereafter. Women have the right to express themselves, to give sincere advice, to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and to call people to Allah. Women have the right to own property, to buy and sell, to inherit, to give charity and to give gifts. It is not permissible for anyone to take a woman’s wealth without her consent. For more about the rights of women in Islam, see the detailed answer.Islam showed full respect to the women and ensured rights, dignity and honour and equal status of men and women in case of marriage because for being a valid marriage acquiescence of the bride groom as well as bride is mandatory. In this regard no one is superior.The Quran explicitly states that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. Furthermore, the Quran: forbids female infanticide (practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia and other parts of the world) instructs Muslims to educate daughters as well as sons.
@@trublacking8572It's to make sisters hate/fear/resent brothers and refrain from marriage altogether so that the l'g'b't agenda can be fulfilled upon sisters.
@@trublacking8572 It's because of the muslim daees on youtube talking about how men are born with a polygamous nature (not true) and making polygamy more relevant than it actually is lol.
@@trublacking8572 Probably how so many people publicly talk about it without considering the women's perspective. If you look at almost every video regarding polygamy, it only shows the men's perspective.
As a wife, from another religion, my heart goes out to Muslim women. This is a heart wrenching topic. I admire that you have tried to rationalise this and provide reasons aside from jealousy, but the truth is jealousy is enough to be a reason in itself. If you are unhappy and miserable, what kind of life will you lead? I wouldn’t even accept my husband having close female friends. Yet, you are expected to accept your husband having another sexual partner or partners. It is definitely a sorry state of affairs, excuse the pun!
Christian men have a long history of justifying unfaithfulness too and all they have to do to clean their souls in confess over and over to a priest. The purpose of multiple wives as I understand it was to care for disenfranchised women as a result of war unbalancing the population ratio and not intended for sexual conquest.
You‘ve made a respectful and nice statement, thank you for that. I think, This topic needs a little deeper understanding that leads to an understanding and accepting opinion and the clear message in mind, that it‘s a choice for every woman, based on the right of free will without external force from anyone.
Recently in my country a man unalived both his wives because they wouldn't stop quarreling. He turned himself into the police and left his 7 children orphans. This coward couldn't handle the pressures of polygyny, so his solution was to engage in haram to "fix" it. The reason why women are against polygamy is because we know our limitations. The problem is men don't understand their limits . Most can't treat one wife right, but want to invite more people to the party. Heck , some of them aren't even married at all, but still indulge in such fantasies instead of becoming better, more marriageable men.
Absolutely IA A 43 year old 6 feet tall man being extremely irresponsible and immature NO THANK YOU . I think I have had enough I thought I was marrying a man not a child . He needs a DAD who can teach him the basics of living a normal life . He ruined every imp moment occasion and event in my life and my children's life . I dealt with it patiently . I have had enough . He has serious mental health problems . I cannot be his psychologist anymore and my home is not a mental hospital.
@@sarabibi7812I’m proud of you for standing up for yourself and kids, well done, you’ve done what a lot of women can’t. Be proud of yourself and may Allah strengthen and bless you and your kids endlessly
Well said. It is a selfish decision. l struggled for years with my husband wanting a new wife. l said get it together. Full fill the rights of your kids and me and then go ahead. Allah knows best, do it the right way and l'll learn to except but don't come to me with this when your not putting 💯 effort in now to the family that is already here.
I said the same to mine, he didn’t listen got a wife and had kids half way across the world he doesn’t hardly see, made us live in constant poverty relying on benefits. Decides to disappear now and then for months comes back like nothings happened..I have lost all respect, my kids don’t even want to get married because they don’t trust anyone.
Assalamu alaykum, great points sister! I have been married for 20 years to my husband and we started with nothing. We both sacrificed and worked hard. I helped a lot financially too. Alhamdulillah we are in a much better position now. I would feel hurt if my husband was to take another wife now after what we have been through. I wouldn’t stop him or even divorce him, but it would definitely change our marriage.
I highly doubt he would. He probably thinks of you all day lol. A wife who is with her husband from when he had nothing, is a keeper. May Allah bless your marriage
@@Therebelliousprince001 Why do you feel fearful hearing the truth? Being faithful to a husband while they had nothing has never stopped most men from marrying another wife when they have something. Why is it so hard for men to consider their wive's feelings or put themselves in their shoes? Just because it being this is halal and the other way Haram doesn't make the feelings different.
I have never ever seen in the history of man a successful, thriving, expanding, community where polygamy is the norm. Never seen where the children are contributing, emotionally well balanced members of a powerful society. What I have witnessed is pervasive poverty, disease community of second class citizens that are often criminally insane. I’ve seen the secret second wife and her mother, sister and friend planning to tie up the the first wife put her in cement shoes and throw her in the ocean. i’ve seen the husband partner with the other wife to steal the wealth and inheritance and everything, then leave. men and women doing black magic on each other. Everybody lying about everything all of the time collectively. Good reputation’s destroyed by vitriol and gossip because of jealousy. Even Aisha suffered terrible tears and a beating from her own father Abu Bakar on gossip and false accusations. Muhammed (saw) turned his back on her, because men easily believe and are easily led to believe the worst about one they even love. so it seems to me that polygamy is not a haqq but clearly a test. Only a test.
Thank you soooooo much. You said everything I have in mind when I see shows like “the bitter truth” talking on this topic. They are always biased and never consider the side effects that come with polygamy. It’s always the woman’s fault cuz she’s a clump of brainless emotions (in the men’s opinion). You should be there on the show.
Allah said "And seek by means of what Allah has given you the future abode, and do not neglect your portion of this world, and do good (to others) as Allah has done good to you, and do not seek to make mischief in the land, surely Allah does not love the mischief-makers. Quran 28:77
I think it’s completely stupid for men to think this is an appropriate thing to do…. Rich or not, honestly. The women in polyamorous dynamics affirm to themselves that they are an object for men… period!
Nafisa, before talking about the financial situation, I think you should ask ‘why would a man, with a good wife and kids, want to take on a second wife?’ And, why would good wife want to share her man with another woman? It made sense in the Prophet’s times, when there were helpless widows, daughters or orphans, left behind from wars. But, simply getting married out of lust makes no sense! It feels like cheating almost. I don’t understand, why any self respecting working, unmarried girl would even consider becoming a second wife, when clearly she is not required!
@@rosemarie6347yea the full esteemed once are still single till date ,are you going 2 marry them ,with the rice of men unwilling to get married cause of the system , depression is ravaging everywhere here in the west ,people are getting lonelier and you are here talking about self esteem ,who as it helped ,you modern women GB the worst kind of advices and you ain't even near better yourself
Lots of women do this because it makes them feel like they have power over the first wife. 'I'm younger, prettier, less baggage, etc.' I have no respect for those women. They deserve misery in their marriages to an already married man.
Another scientifically noted reason is gene pool diversification. If everyone married the same men leaving single men not only is this a problem for them but it cuts down in the diversity of the gene.pool so it's nature's way of helping to preserve humanity.
So grateful to you for making this video it was much needed unfortunately the men feel they are untouchable when it comes to this topic they feel they have a right to take another wife no reasons considered. It is very complicated I have seen many abusive men take another wife and neglect the first wife and children. Then they will say they are performing a Sunnah by marrying another wife, by neglecting a fardh! There is soo much to say on this topic and men abuse this privilege. I blame the male scholars and da’ees who do not guide them and allow them to keep feeding this passion of theirs as that’s what it is
Very informative video, Nafisa. The female perspective on this topic is so often ignored or reduced to petty jealousy. I’m Nigerian, Hausa to be specific so you can imagine that I’ve had almost no example of positive polygamy in my life. What I’ve seen is women having psychotic breaks because their husbands never told them they were getting married again until after the nikkah, men who are in their 50s and 60s preying on girls fresh out of secondary school and university, men essentially turning their eldest children into parents because they keep having babies with their new young wives even though they can’t take care of them, and households so toxic that one of the wives ends up dead and the other in jail for manslaughter. I’m sure there are people who have married a second wife for the right reasons, and I’m sure there were more of them in the past, but in this modern era all I see are men remarrying to ignore a problem with their current wife, or old men remarrying for lustful reasons, completely ignoring the impact on their first wife and any children they may have together. My parents never participated in polygamy, and insha Allah neither will I.

If a woman is developing psychosis because a man simply takes a second wife, the man is not the problem - she is It's jealousy and possessiveness taken too far with harmful consequences
Omg that user called polygyny who's saying a psychotic breakdown is the women's own fault and reduced it to "jealousy" is either an idiot or a troll. Probably both. Their line of logic would be that PTSD from war is due to a man being weak. Basically, this user has no idea how humans work, only how his 🍆 works.

As a first wife i have accepted polygamy and my husband having a second wife. I feel my husband will be equal and not treat me any different after he gets married. I feel like communication is the key and having trust in allah is what makes it easier. But every single point you have mentioned is exactly whats going through my mind. Would love to hear the positive of polygamy from your perspective and how it can go right. Jazaki allah kheir for this amazing video ❤
Adam and Eve, only one Eve. If look at demographics of most countries, the ratio of man to women is roughly 50/50. That shows that God want one man to be with one woman. Stop following Mohamed, he brought wars, slavery and sick ideology that teaches women to accept their inferior status to men so they should be ok to share their most loved man with other women. As a man imagine you had to share you most loved woman with other men - I know sounds unacceptable . Islam really makes people blind. Christianity is fair , it teaches men to love their wives like Jesus loved the church, marriage is a Union of One man and One woman, they become one flesh. In Islam wife is just a temporary helper, because in heaven you are promised much younger, virgin and many more wives. As a christian if I go to heaven, I just want to be together with my only wife.
I am a Muslim man, 62 years old. I agree 100% with the logic and emotions that the sister brought up in this video. A man who is not fulfilling his martial responsibilities to level of excellence, should not even think about marrying another wife. In addition, even if he is a good husband but his wife sacrificed through marriage to make up for long difficult circumstances they had to go through, then the least of appreciation for her is to pay back the favor by protecting her emotionally and pleasing her every way he can, including rejecting the idea of marrying another wife. If the situation is different than all of the above, then they can reach sone mutual agreements in regard to polygamy, if necessary. By the way, from my research, I found out that polygamous marriages in most Muslim communities in the world, that last, are much less than 1% of all marriages. I think most men do not have the capability to have a polygamous marriage AND succeed, in nowadays cultures and economic burdens.
At the rate that this happens, the court needs to put a cap, like you have to be making this much to have more than one legal wife, and the income should increase per additional wife. I think it would be Islamic to do that, being that equality and equity need to be established, and Allah had already concluded "You won't be equal with them" Which means just stick to one, instead of accumulating sins! Like honestly, stories are sad out there. For a man to say, "Oh, you are jealous!" It just says that the man actually thinks he is all that (weird!!)
it is like secretly dont want to do it becuase they know men wont be getting their enjoyment as much anymore. shame on those men who fail to provide and may Allah give them the judgment they deserve.
Yes I agree totally that's very weird for a husband who fear Allah,.....to say that a woman is jealous ....well duh as women we have our natural jealousy....and it's even more weird when the wives tell each other that....oh u jealous of me ...or I know we have our jealousy moments like leave that alone
Listen,I don't have time,once he says he wants a second wife, I am getting a divorce,I don't have time to argue and go back and forth,you need to start thinking about your sanity instead of pleasing a man who doesn't care about you.
As Salaamu alaykum ukhti! You have articulated this so well, everything that has been going on in my head for the past month you have described. Alhamdulillah! May Allah be pleased with you. Inshallah the men and women learn something by your video.
One man, one wife! As a revert Muslim I see Muslim men, misuse the whole reason why polygamy was provided. In ancient times to provide for a fallen comrades family in a honourable way and for protection. Now many do this for many reasons, and mainly for the sexual desires of an old man, wanting young flesh. Totally unacceptable but men will be men! When considering a man for marriage, you women have the right to question him, as to his opinion of polygamy, and if he married you, would he agree to stay with you only. If he agrees and then breaks such an agreement, divorce him if you cannot accept his willingness to break his word. What is a man, without honour? Nothing whatsoever!
Absolutely right, you are. Saying that as a man. Man relaying on wife for even 1% to support the family shouldn't even think of 2nd wife. Get 2nd job instead.
Thank you for bringing light to this topic. I feel like a lot of the married men who consider polygamy have the emotional intelligence of a fruit and they are weak minded. They struggle to protect and provide for the existing females in their lives. I also feel that a lot of them use it to demean their wives and to make them feel small. Cruel
All Islamic legal schools allow women to demand in the marriage contract that their husbands do not take other wives. the norm in Islam is monogamy, and you have every right to refuse polygamy if you hear anything else saying the opposite, ignore it!
Even the leader of women in jannah did not like her husband taking a second wife during her lifetime. It is only after her death he took multiple wives.
As a man, I see your points and was good to hear a women side of polygamy. 1) the first 10-15min of the vid highlighted the sacrifices that women make in marriages and I also agree they do but also men do the same so it not only one sided. These sacrifices should be made to make a good marriage so I’m not complaining. 2) the 15-20 min mark stated that women may made a man with ambition and successful due to the fact he was lazy and was not working and a women took over or pushed him to be a successful man. As she stated the women may had been desperate to get married and carried that burden but I think she shouldn’t have because these kind of men couldn’t look after themselves. (These are kind of men that should think deeply before thinking of pologomy) In the contrary of that, if a man that’s ambitious and may make enough for the time and became successful during the marriage due to him building a skill that was high rewarding and fulfilled the rights of his wife emotionally and financially then he can do pologomy because he is a good guy and a responsible man. (If he fulfilled this and the wife decides to leave then that a bad move on the wife, not saying she doesn’t have the right to say her feelings or feel a certain way) 3) the latter stage of the video. We are humans and yes we may show a bit more feelings towards the new wife due to it being a new relationship. The man should be a emotionally aware and not start acting different towards his first wife but that new feelings will also ware off and the man can logically think when the new marriage feelings goes. Summary The women should set standards of not going for men that are lazy and not ambitious. I’m not saying only go for the people that got money but don’t be in a situation were the guy doesn’t work and is neglectful of his responsibility. (This is a good video and make us look at both sides of the coin)

Very well said!!! Infact Allah knew what first wives need to bear. Even second and third wives have their own to bear. First wives look at building a man from the scratch but they forget the millions of men who have become better and advanced due to the efforts of the second and third wives which in the end benefits all families. Am a woman but let's not be biased. It's not anyone's fault that you came into man's life when he was younger. We can't expect young men to have everything older should have. But this doesn't make the less of men. Allah has created men differently from women. Besides, Islam also looks at the bigger picture of society. Do you want other women who could even be your daughters to become prostitutes, lesbians or single mothers just coz you came at a point where a man had nothing? Is it fair to other people and the society? Come on ladies let's think. We can all have our rights from fulfilled without making it look like men shouldn't marry again if they begun when they were broke. We also forget that as women we were also no where when these men has just come into our lives. We are too ungrateful to appreciate the sacrifices these men made with the little they had at that time. We are also too selfish to appreciate their personal efforts they have made to advance themselves. We take ourselves like we are Allah who gave them everything they have.

What is interesting is that we incessantly hear men desire more than one wife. But the first man ever created, Adam( as), Allah created for him a one wife Hawah.
I totally agree and I love the insight you offered in this video. I honestly don’t think many of these men deserve multiple wives. Many don’t know how to treat any women, let alone many women.
Thank you sister Nafisa!!! I love that you bring this topic up. It's important for men and women. You have one of the greatest channel. Keep up the work! I'm so proud of you sister. It is so important to inform our muslims, knowledge is important.
A nuanced and reasonable take on a difficult subject, and further example of the failings of Muslim men in this age. With the widespread use of porn and most guys my age also not having grown up with many positive role models, I fear this problem gets worse before it gets better. May Allah ease us in correcting ourselves, and guide is to what is best.
Honestly I don't think it's something happening in this age, in my opinion it has always been that way , people are just placing this issue upfront in this generation,on a public platform,
@@purplelove3666Even at the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and the 4 rightous caliphs? Do you realize that you're slandering the Muslims of the past? May Allah curse you and rid you from this ummah!

If my husband wants a second wife i ask divorce immediately! He swears me thank want only me forever and i trust in him, but if he keep a second wife i ask divorce!
Salaam. Thank you for this video. I found out recently after my nikah that I am actually the second wife for my husband. I've been trying to get over the guilt of his first wife not knowing that he married me, and what's more, as a recent revert I am trying to get over the initial reactions of disgust and hurt from betrayal and lying. I know it is not my place or my right to question his marriage to his first wife, but a large part of me is grieving over my expectations for my marriage, guilt for his doing this to his first wife, and disappointment that I could be misled in such a manner. I doubted myself when I said that polygamy is selfish, but the way you put it is correct. It is selfish of the man, but they are quick to call the women selfish because they do not want to participate in it. I pray Allah SWT will remove these feelings from me over time, but it is good to know that other muslimahs feel the same way I do about polygamy. It is just when it is just, but it disgusts us when we are lied to and betrayed.
Adding to my story because it was brought up in the video: He married me but refuses to have a civil marriage with me (legal marriage, in the US) because he is already married to the first wife. I am the one who is able to bear kids, but the first wife is not able to. So in this situation, if I get additional assistance from the government, is this money haram? These are the questions I ask him, because by refusing to support me and my future children in a just manner (50% first wife no kids, 50% second wife with kids... to me that is not justice), he will be driving me towards haram actions. There are consequences to his decisions.
@@putocuchinta a man should always tell his first wife that he is getting married not to cause any trust issues or hatred, regarding other questions ask a sheikh just to be sure nothing haram is going on. I wish u the best okhti, good luck.
Yes, that money is haram. He should be providing, in stead of tax payers. And it's disgraceful if you're known to authorities as a single mom. There in no honour in such fraud. Keep your dignity and your chin up lady@@putocuchinta
Actually, Men has nothing to do with polygamy. Don't ask men. Ask women, why she chose to marry a guy who had wives, and she knew it,yet, she chose it. Allah(SWT) has given us free will. If the parents force someone to do something, then, that's different, Islam has nothing to do with it. I'm a man and ofcourse I will marry only 1 wife. Wth am I supposed to do with multiple wives☠️ Just sharing.🙏
Ask Allah why he permitted this ridiculos nonsense and put a number to it. Polygamy comes with pain hurt jealousy, diseases trauma.... The bad outweighs the good by a lot
@@nancyfancy1956 let's suppose each man on the planet is assigned only to each woman. Then, what about the others. What about them? Let me tell you, if their imaan is not strong, most probably, they may join to become a prostitute out of depression and loneliness, which many teenagers have become prey of. Look, Sister, Everything has a reason. A man is allowed to marry more than one woman, if he fulfills some criteria. But a woman is not. Everything has a reason , a man does not bear a child, woman does. Just try to think, I'm not explaining here..

I don’t think the women know where to find the good men. I know so many sisters looking and a man who is also looking so may Allah make it easier. People’s criteria’s are also different so it makes it challenging
The prophet said he loved good smelling oil and women, and here you are saying it is selfish to want multiple women. You might as well hand over your testes now bruv.
@@SheedLordBear No bro, I need them. My cat wad neutered, wasn’t same after that. Jokes, aside, whatever the Prophet said is with doubt the truth and beneficial for us. I am all for 4 wives, Im like you bro, reading tahajud and making pray for them. But, my thing is this, if your wife is good to you, then do it only so long as your not letting her standard of life slip.
@@SheedLordBear what does the prophet loving women have to do with this? The prophet values women, this doesnt mean he encouraged polygamy. Polygamy was only a norm when it was a necessity for reasons such as war, not so that men can run around parading multiple women because they cannot discipline themselves sexually. Polygamy was allowed for the benefit of women not the benefit of men.
One wife is enough and if both know the right of their spouse and the responsibility of each other then that is the best. leave the polygamy who can avoid it. it is not for all and certainly not the poor (in Deen, and wealth).
Vast majority have one wife. Only a tiny minority (mostly rich and tribals) have multiple. It's not possible for all to have multiple. Yet muslim male podcasters keep on trying to promote it.
@user-mc1yd9bp5xlol men won't care ,so far they are getting that kuchy ,freely ,it translates 2 even modern relationships now we're a woman as more than 1 bf ,most of the guys involved knows very well but choose 2 pretend they know nothing so far they get it ...and secretly have a main babe aside ,men don't Scrabble like women do ...we look 4 solutions ..not base our decisions on feelings
@user-mc1yd9bp5x That might be the way you want it to play out in your mind, but the real world results are very different. Don't let the Western world fool you, transplanting cherry picked parts of two different cultures and mixing them can be very dangerous.
@user-mc1yd9bp5x most women can't either to the 3rd power, you'll scoff at a random woman wearing the same dress/outfit at an event you're both attending.
When both husband and wife does not study and put Islam into practice there is always a problem. Most of this problem will occur due to Islamic illiteracy, greed, and jealousy, Sister your presentation is good but guide us using the Quran and Hadith while You give us clarification. May Allah guide us.
Prophet wanted to put a stop to all cruelties to women. He preached kindness towards them. He told the Muslims: "Fear Allah in respect of women." And: "The best of you are they who behave best to their wives." And: "A Muslim must not hate his wife, and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, let him be pleased with one that is good." And:"The more civil and kind a Muslim is to his wife, the more perfect in faith he is." The Prophet (peace be upon him) was most emphatic in enjoining upon Muslims to be kind to their women when he delivered his famous khutba on the Mount of Mercy at Arafat in the presence of one hundred and twenty-four thousand of his Companions who had gathered there for the Hajj al-Wada (Farewell Pilgrimage). In it he ordered those present, and through them all those Muslims who were to come later, to be respectful and kind towards women. He said: "Fear Allah regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of Allah, and made their bodies lawful with the word of Allah. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you in respect of their food and clothing according to your means." In Islam a woman is a completely independent personality. She can make any contract or bequest in her own name. She is entitled to inherit in her position as mother, as wife, as sister and as daughter. She has perfect liberty to choose her husband. The pagan society of pre-Islamic Arabia had an irrational prejudice against their female children whom they used to bury alive. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was totally opposed to this practice. He showed them that supporting their female Islam raised the status of women, and made them equal with men in most rulings. So women, like men, are commanded to believe in Allah and to worship Him. And women are made equal to men in terms of reward in the Hereafter. Women have the right to express themselves, to give sincere advice, to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and to call people to Allah. Women have the right to own property, to buy and sell, to inherit, to give charity and to give gifts. It is not permissible for anyone to take a woman’s wealth without her consent. For more about the rights of women in Islam, see the detailed answer.Islam showed full respect to the women and ensured rights, dignity and honour and equal status of men and women in case of marriage because for being a valid marriage acquiescence of the bride groom as well as bride is mandatory. In this regard no one is superior.The Quran explicitly states that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. Furthermore, the Quran: forbids female infanticide (practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia and other parts of the world) instructs Muslims to educate daughters as well as sons.
I think men underestimate the strength and righteousness that it takes to care for multiple wives. Id say out of 300 men maybe 1 man is capable of caring for more then one wife the correct way.
This argument is so hypothetical. What if the man is already established? And doing well. When work for any wife is optional? Most men in this position will let a potential wife know polygamy is what he wants because he can afford it.He has to be responsible and able. We all know that- And lastly if Allah grants it and the man does it correctly. No matter what you think. Allah allows it for a reason ; there are many benefits that come with polygamy- its not all doom and gloom. Allah doesnt allow anything halal to be all doom and gloom with lots of fitna- It can be very beautiful and rewarding for all; in the eyes of Allah-
Thank you! Jazzaki Allahu khairan❤ The best video on polygamy I have ever watched Mashallah! I've downloaded it as well. May Allah bless you sister for such an input. You're very intelligent Mashallah!
I was ask to be the 3rd wife, but I said “no “ because of many reasons . it wasn’t because I did not love him enough. #1 I make more money then all his wives , and I was willing to help pay for school fees (maybe) for children that are not mine, but then if he is having a new baby every year , it dawned on me, that he has no ‘time ‘ for me. I told him he had to many responsibilities. He was very upset. I am American with many Muslims in my family. My great-grandfather from India, had 4 wives and many children. We are liven in different times now. Leah Tunkara
@@astroflyinsights No he did not ask for money, it was just that he wanted to get his oldest daughter to go to school in America, and I was gonna try to arrange that. He offered to pick me up from the airport on my very first trip to Africa and he knew my first husband who was born in London. So he won my respect and then my love. He was a total gentleman ♥️🌍
The one who is best for his wive, is also the one who accepts her choice for polygamy. The first, then the second, then 3rd, then 4th need to accept the coming one. If the first one doesn't agree, there is no polygamy. So the man is good for the wive and respects her choice. Simple.
I strongly feel polygamy should be against the law and banded permanently. Marriage should be taken more seriously instead of men being so selfish because they're wife is menstruating, emotional, or too tired to give into so much. The men need to be grateful for what their women contribute already. I don't care if they can afford it. It's hurtful to a lot of women and myself to know that a man wants more than what we bring to the table. Having an extra woman takes away from the little attention we already are given. The don't bother to consider our opinion or feelings. I would feel like I've been replaced. This polygamy crap just gives them an excuse to cheat
Not only this but polygyny that's not legal doesn't protect the wife and family and can lead to less accountability. Women and children need legal protection and that is what legal marriage is for.
very true, bigamy is an offence in some western countries still so the other wives will be denying themselves of their legal rights and benefits to being married in the country. even non muslims know that legal marriage affords more protection than just cohabitation
@@SheedLordBear The constitution of the United States is based on the Quran that all people are equal with equal rights. Allah knows who is and who is not a believer. In Moslem countries all divorces get rulings and make sure the Family is taken care of. I wish online that people would be acting on their best both anonymously and not. We should always have Allah in our hearts.

Prophet wanted to put a stop to all cruelties to women. He preached kindness towards them. He told the Muslims: "Fear Allah in respect of women." And: "The best of you are they who behave best to their wives." And: "A Muslim must not hate his wife, and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, let him be pleased with one that is good." And:"The more civil and kind a Muslim is to his wife, the more perfect in faith he is." The Prophet (peace be upon him) was most emphatic in enjoining upon Muslims to be kind to their women when he delivered his famous khutba on the Mount of Mercy at Arafat in the presence of one hundred and twenty-four thousand of his Companions who had gathered there for the Hajj al-Wada (Farewell Pilgrimage). In it he ordered those present, and through them all those Muslims who were to come later, to be respectful and kind towards women. He said: "Fear Allah regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of Allah, and made their bodies lawful with the word of Allah. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you in respect of their food and clothing according to your means." In Islam a woman is a completely independent personality. She can make any contract or bequest in her own name. She is entitled to inherit in her position as mother, as wife, as sister and as daughter. She has perfect liberty to choose her husband. The pagan society of pre-Islamic Arabia had an irrational prejudice against their female children whom they used to bury alive. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was totally opposed to this practice.

Sisters, LET’S SHARE THIS VIDEO AND HAVE OUR VOICES HEARD!
Polygamy is the worst mistake i made in my life cos it has ruined me totally to be in a polygamy setting is not easy work I just pray that may Allah make it easy for all muslim sisters out there who are in a polygamy setting cos as for me I know what a polygamy setting is like may Allah grant us shiffa and patience ( Amin)
Assalamalykum sis, jazakumlahukhaira for this beautiful video. I think you should also make a video about how sisters can cope if it comes their way. Polygamy is halal and anyone could find themselves in it. Alhamdulillahi It starts with our orientation. When I watched lecture of sis yasmine mogheed about how to love. It made it easier. The same problem about sharing hubby is what we see in the cases of mother in laws. Loving Allah before Loving others and understanding if we die today some else will definitely take over all that we are ready to loose our deen for will make one understand no man is worth loosing your al janah for. I'm not asking women to put up with anything and everything but constant reminder of if and how things can turn around will make us understand and we can get through this with patience and not make rational decisions. I hope many brothers take lessons from this and stop discarding their wife's feelings. Obviously men in everywhere I've been enjoy this topic in their favour and immediately gets in defence mode when its discussed. It takes the fear of Allah for them to think right when in to it. The truth is the test of Polygamy is greater for men than women but society has made we women more of the victims.
Also the Incoming wife's too is another problem. Most don't give a damn about the first wife and even get selfish. A second wife should understand she made a choice to share a man so should not be ready to separate him from his first family. Most of the time the children are not even been considered in all the game and a child who can't go to bed without her dad now can't understand why she barely sees him.
There's a lot to this matter .
To cap it all if men are doing it for Allah sake their attitude is more composed and the wife hardly feel insecure compared to those doing it for greed. May Allah protect us from the evil of the society and not give us a burden greater than we can bear. Amin.
You started your video with a quote that is not in the Quran....the Quran says the best of you is the most righteous...
@@sma4301 Ameen. Unfortunately Nafisa here seems to be intent on destroying marriages and turning sisters away from marriage.
May Allah hold you accountable for all the marriages you've ruined and sisters you've turned away from marriage!

My family members used to bully my mum in front of my dad by jokingly suggesting he marry a second wife. This caused me to feel sick when I heard men talking about polygamy because I viewed it as a way of creating conflict between women and therefore enforcing control. I look forward to watching this video to return to Allahs wisdom behind the practice and the kind sunnah of it all. Barakallah feeki for this video, sister.
subhanallah how cruel people can be
Salam that’s cruel - I’m very outspoken and gobby in my family I’d definitely not tolerate such crap. My dad’s sister tried to get my dad who is very simple minded to divorce my mum . However dad stood his ground and stuck with us. Needles to say that aunt of mine - well me and my siblings and maternal side treated her like scum our whole life - total boycott. My mum forgave her in her old age , I’m ok now but I keep her at arms length. Non of her kids care for her . I protect my parents aggressively. Kids have a job too, if you see the abuse - call it out , protect the mother / father . Sometime parents need the assurance and help of their children
You can know go to those nasty ppl, and encourage their spouse to remarry . And remind them evil they did to your mum. Also use the Ayah in the Quran which tell about the punishment of those who scheme to separate a married couples
Dang now the Muslim women want to be subjected to satan and collect child support.
“There is no compulsion in religion” [al-Baqarah 2:256]... Gaslighting and Manipulating women into polygamy marriages!!!. Polygamy marriages are corruption...
"""And you will never be able to be equal between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. From Quran surah Nisa"""... Muslim ummah keep telling others don't follow your desires, women are desires!. But desires can be very powerful. They can hold sway over the mind and lead a person away from reality. When a person follows desires and submits to them, without giving consideration to the guidance received from God, he goes astray. Following of desires is directly linked to misguidance.
To understand the effect of desire it is important to analyze what desire does to human intelligence. It puts a curtain over the eyes of the mind. It makes a person so attached to its target that reality is overlooked. The conditions to understand reality include an objectivity to it. It means acceptance of reality whether palatable or bitter, whether it is for personal gain or against it. These conditions are not in line with the dictates of desire.
In another verse Almighty Allah puts forth this truth in even stronger terms. He calls desire the god of some human beings. He says: Have you seen him who has taken his desire to be his god? (Q 25:43). Such a god has been condemned in the strongest terms in Hadith. The Prophet (s) has said: There is no god under the sky that has been worshipped other than Allah that is worse than the desire. (Taken from Tafsīr Namūne). No other deity is as despicable as the human being’s own desire.
Imam al-Sādiq (a) says: Be apprehensive of your desires in the same way as you are apprehensive of your enemies. For there is no greater enemy for human beings than their own desires and what their tongues reap (Al-Kulaynī, al-Kāfī, 2: 336.)
Following of desires is often not recognized for the lowly quality it is. It can be masqueraded as freedom, having fun, being with the masses, etc. It clads a veil over the person as well as others who are exposed to him. Only those who have insight and reflect on reality are able to see through it.
This verse reminds us of the danger!
Polygamy marriages come under desires!Polygamy marriages are corruption...

Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Satan places his throne over the water and he sends out his troops. The closest to him in rank are the greatest at causing tribulations. One of them says: I have done this and this. Satan says: You have done nothing. Another one says: I did not leave this man alone until I separated him from his wife. Satan embraces him and he says: You have done well.”

Polygamy marriages come under desires!
Popular male figures on the online dawah scene have made a complete mess of the polygamy topic, they focus too much on the male perspective, and when they dabble into the female perspective they immediately jump to the jelousy conclusion and wrap up the topic. I really like how sr Nafisa breaks down each of the reasons besides jealousy (just to clarify jelousy in an of itself is also a VERY valid feeling in this situation as well) and why some women will refuse to engage in polygamy. This video was much needed alhamdulilah, I hope it goes viral.
I hate it when they talk as if the wife's feelings don't matter and as if polygamy is mandatory, whereas in fact, Allah has limited polygamy to a maximum of four wives and didn't prohibited it completely because in the times of war many women ended up as widows with many orphan children (clearly stated in the same verse but they only take the part that satisfies their selfish desires). It's hypocritical how they bring the “context” argument for every controversial verse, but not this one. I was really pissed off when a dawah guy said “I don't worship your hormones” ; well, Muslim women don't worship your hormones either...
@@TobiramaSenju-ol4zbso, did the Prophet only married widows

@@sadafahmed9563 I'm not asking about majority or minority.
what she meant was the only reason for polygamy are widows and orphans.
Oftentimes polygamy is used as a distraction and excuse not to work on what is in right front of you, especially if the couple are experiencing marital problems The man's thinking goes something like this "My wife is making me miserable Let me get another wife that can make me happy" It's flawed thinking because at the end of the day the only person we have control of is ourselves No one and nothing can make us happy but ourselves Polygamy will never solve your marital problems That's like trying to solve an internal issue with external solutions when the only person we should be staring at is the person looking back at us in the mirror
That is actually better than just divorcing her. Better to marry another and still maintain the previous wife
@@sholay706 how come? If the first marriage is terrible the second won’t be any better cuz now you have to split the resources. From my observations, I see polygynous marriages end up with someone getting divorced anyway.
@metaknight859 depends, if the 2nd wife is wealthy then you are fine. People anyways divorce in monogamous marriages
@@sholay706 no aren’t cuz her wealth is hers and it is not her responsibility to spend it even on herself. Man you are the exact example that Nafisa is referring to in the video.
@@sholay706 okay, so let’s increase the rate of divorces with polygamy cuz people get divorced anyway right?! What a dumb mindset.
JazakAllah khair, I think all men need to watch this video and deep it.
As a man, if you can’t afford the cost of two whole households by yourself, you should not be getting a second wife.
If your wife still pays for some of her stuff, you should not be getting a second wife.
If you have arguments with your wife or some “irreconcilable” dispute, you are not ready to get a 2nd wife.
A lot of weak an immature men who are not ready for polygyny are sadly allowed to go through with it.
Imams setting these marriages up need to do more to determine no injustice is taking place.
Or maybe the father of the prospective 2nd wife needs to do better in vetting these men.
As a man, you are Qawammun, Allah placed you as the provider for your family.
The average man today has been sadly weakened, islamically, mentally, physically, financially

Absolutely on the nose. Someone who loves you will care about how their decisions affect you. Real men don’t stomp on their woman’s heart to get to another one. it’s honestly so sad that this has to be explained. If these men wanted to practice the religion correctly they would take into account kindness, empathy, and love.
It’s simple, if you can’t even take care of the financial, physical, and spiritual well-being of your wife, don’t take another one! They forget they will be questioned about the treatment of their wives on the day of judgement.

There’s one thing you didn’t touch up on that I think is a key takeaway from this. Men always want to put us through something they themselves cannot handle. Just the thought of another man so much as so looking at his wife fills him with anger and rage. But that’s not jealousy or emotionalism apparently. I mean men would literally shoot each other in the face if polygamy was the other way around. I say that simply to make a point. But we’re the hysterical emotional freaks because we get jealous and cry. That to me is hilarious because it shows you how men have such a false perception about themselves as these stoic logical creatures when they’re anything but that 😂 Their jealousy is supposedly “protective”. Ours is just there. So they can explain their feelings, but we can’t.
I’m sorry sister. I commend you for this video especially as I sister who has struggled with marriage a lot and just decided to opt out because it’s not something I can see myself doing.
For me it’s reached a point where it’s not even worth it. I value my space and tranquility so much. I wouldn’t be able to tolerate nonsense because I don’t even tolerate it from myself 😂
Clap lol, she said I don't even tolerate nonsense from myself ,lol,you are my kind of friend,I wish more women would have your brain,because it seems like a lot of these women are on leashes
Any time I raise this issue with a man like "imagine your wife was allowed to have 4 husbands" they don't think about it because they end it w "it'd be haram so pointless to think about" it's like can your daft brain not pretend for a second....? I don't get it. Men foam and get all rabid at the thought of a man accidentally looking at his woman's ankles in a passing glance let alone her being sexually with another man
Good Point. I totally agree that men would Go bonkers, they would loose it. But womens emotions seem to have no weight ...
Double Standards.

Polygamy was actually recommended to HELP women who are orphans and widows, and otherwise to settle political unease/to balance the gender-marriage ratio. And men are using polygamy only from the male perspective to satisfy their sexual desires. It's not nice.
What is the evidence of your claim
Maybe I'm incorrect but the way you're phrasing your sentence has an underlying tone of implying she's incorrect. And I'm sorry for my words here but it makes you look extremely ignorant. Go look it up yourself so you'll absorb this knowledge better.
What did you think the reason was that Allah swt made this halal? It's definitely not one sided and only beneficial for the husband to satisfy his needs 😂
@@iMitiga the problem is you try to refute this polygamy in a very detailed manner I supposed you had a PhD degree on it😄.

Divorced women say that it is sunnah to marry divorced women. When the man says polygamy, oh no, what about the women's feelings, sunnah is out of the window? If we just say to ourselves, i will do what will make Allah happy, all problems solved.
@@freespirit7835y’all don’t marry divorced women or widows do you? That’s the issue. Polygamy is supposed to benefit women more than men. Yet men will marry with their whims. Not actual sunnah
It has always disgusted me when a man practiced polygamy, and many of them cannot even afford a wife. A woman who marries a man who is already married is usually out of desperation, and the man is taking advantage of the situation. There are few circumstances that should be allowed, e.g if the woman is not able to have children or she becomes an invalid or she suffers from diseases. An imam should never marry a man who simply wants to take another wife without good reason to support the untamed desire of a wolf. In the end, the one that allows the marriage is the one that commits a sin for allowing the breaking of a family and the suffering that it causes.
And I bet ho'm'o'se'xu'alit'y doesn't disgust you does it?
You have no right to install your own fatwa upon what Allah swt has allowed. Your points are all invalid islamicaly
Afford , don't think like overseas
That's a big mistake
Like college is free overseas etc...
We live in america !!!! Lol
My mom has this story where she basically says that she’s seen brothers want polygamy but instead of taking care of their wives, they have basically these women living off government programs and section 8 housing because these men barely had the means to take care of one wife and family let alone 3 more. Husbands must provide the life she was raised in and more.
“There is no compulsion in religion” [al-Baqarah 2:256]... Gaslighting and Manipulating women into polygamy marriages!!!. Polygamy marriages are corruption...
"""And you will never be able to be equal between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. From Quran surah Nisa"""... Muslim ummah keep telling others don't follow your desires, women are desires!. But desires can be very powerful. They can hold sway over the mind and lead a person away from reality. When a person follows desires and submits to them, without giving consideration to the guidance received from God, he goes astray. Following of desires is directly linked to misguidance.
To understand the effect of desire it is important to analyze what desire does to human intelligence. It puts a curtain over the eyes of the mind. It makes a person so attached to its target that reality is overlooked. The conditions to understand reality include an objectivity to it. It means acceptance of reality whether palatable or bitter, whether it is for personal gain or against it. These conditions are not in line with the dictates of desire.
In another verse Almighty Allah puts forth this truth in even stronger terms. He calls desire the god of some human beings. He says: Have you seen him who has taken his desire to be his god? (Q 25:43). Such a god has been condemned in the strongest terms in Hadith. The Prophet (s) has said: There is no god under the sky that has been worshipped other than Allah that is worse than the desire. (Taken from Tafsīr Namūne). No other deity is as despicable as the human being’s own desire.
Imam al-Sādiq (a) says: Be apprehensive of your desires in the same way as you are apprehensive of your enemies. For there is no greater enemy for human beings than their own desires and what their tongues reap (Al-Kulaynī, al-Kāfī, 2: 336.)
Following of desires is often not recognized for the lowly quality it is. It can be masqueraded as freedom, having fun, being with the masses, etc. It clads a veil over the person as well as others who are exposed to him. Only those who have insight and reflect on reality are able to see through it.

Polygamy marriages come under desires!
Prophet wanted to put a stop to all cruelties to women. He preached kindness towards them. He told the Muslims: "Fear Allah in respect of women." And: "The best of you are they who behave best to their wives." And: "A Muslim must not hate his wife, and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, let him be pleased with one that is good." And:"The more civil and kind a Muslim is to his wife, the more perfect in faith he is."
The Prophet (peace be upon him) was most emphatic in enjoining upon Muslims to be kind to their women when he delivered his famous khutba on the Mount of Mercy at Arafat in the presence of one hundred and twenty-four thousand of his Companions who had gathered there for the Hajj al-Wada (Farewell Pilgrimage). In it he ordered those present, and through them all those Muslims who were to come later, to be respectful and kind towards women. He said:
"Fear Allah regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of Allah, and made their bodies lawful with the word of Allah. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you in respect of their food and clothing according to your means."
In Islam a woman is a completely independent personality. She can make any contract or bequest in her own name. She is entitled to inherit in her position as mother, as wife, as sister and as daughter. She has perfect liberty to choose her husband. The pagan society of pre-Islamic Arabia had an irrational prejudice against their female children whom they used to bury alive. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was totally opposed to this practice. He showed them that supporting their female
Islam raised the status of women, and made them equal with men in most rulings. So women, like men, are commanded to believe in Allah and to worship Him. And women are made equal to men in terms of reward in the Hereafter. Women have the right to express themselves, to give sincere advice, to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and to call people to Allah. Women have the right to own property, to buy and sell, to inherit, to give charity and to give gifts. It is not permissible for anyone to take a woman’s wealth without her consent. For more about the rights of women in Islam, see the detailed answer.Islam showed full respect to the women and ensured rights, dignity and honour and equal status of men and women in case of marriage because for being a valid marriage acquiescence of the bride groom as well as bride is mandatory. In this regard no one is superior.The Quran explicitly states that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. Furthermore, the Quran: forbids female infanticide (practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia and other parts of the world) instructs Muslims to educate daughters as well as sons.
A man just needs to be able to provide food, shelter, clothing, leadership and sex. Everything else is at his discretion, not according to the woman's entitlement

@@PolygynyIslam is a biased nd sh*tty religion I must say
It's disgusting how some have taken what Allah created to benefit women to emotionally, and spiritually bully us. He chose her, I chose me and my sanity. The betrayal was too much for me. I told him it was going to destroy us. We were married for 15 years. I asked for a Khula and now he's alone begging me to come back. Absolutely NOT, he will remember this for the rest of his life. I didn't benefit at all. I tried to stay, I couldn't handle it. He really thought I was jealous, it wasn't that at all. I could see the train going off track, crashing and burning. I told him it would be over in 90 days, it was. I asked him if he was unhappy, he said no I said why would you expose us to all the drama and fitnah? He said it was his decision. I said ok, you're going to be alone. I cried so hard, my hair fell out, my blood pressure was through the roof. He didn't care, he said so you want me to make this decision based on your feelings. Look who's in their feelings now. Bottom line, if your initial wife doesn't want to, he shouldn't. He now realizes that I loved him and supported him totally and completely.
I bet you 90% of the men wouldn't have a seat for this conversation 😂, is so funny how they just misunderstand the concept of polygamy and call the first woman an angry bird lol, anyways may Allah grant us understanding and Iman.

Sisters you are in the wrong religion, Mohamed wouldn’t approve your words, women are made to serve men until he dies so he be ready to meet other 72 virgins and will have an everlasting erection. You muslim women don’t get 72 handsome men in Jannah, sorry. Jus follow Jesus who shed his blood for all of us including Muslims, Hindus etc, no best earthy pleasures can compete with real heaven.
There is actually no "concept of polygamy", that's the real problem muslims have. They turn it into something religious, though it's actually something totally cultural.
I remember a time when a friend of mine told me about his aunt who never acted the same since his uncle married another wife and couldn't understand why it was so difficult for women to accept polygamy. I told him to imagine sharing his wife with another man and asked him how it'll make him feel. He told me it wouldn't be cool and i said exactly. The only difference between the two is that you are permitted to do that and she isn't, but every other feeling is the same.

FINALLY a perspective that's not watered down and flowered up. These are my thoughts exactly. It's extremely dismissive and disrespectful when men say the only reason that women have an issue with it is because of jealousy. There's so many other factors that just get overlooked and women get told to just get over it and it's so disheartening. Thank you for finally giving perspectives that are more accurate to what issues we TRULY have.

@@m.a.8032yeah absolutely, nowadays you rarely see a just man who provides for his wives equally
@@m.a.8032How is it impossible? Justice is primarily in time and money. Surely a man can be just. Even a broke man can find a woman who wants misyar marriage, and then he can be "unjust" without sinning. Don’t make it mission impossible.
@@moonwalkerr87 it's impossible because no man is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. One little mistake and you have failed to be just.
@@m.a.8032 Ah, I see. So polygyny is actually haram? Only Prophet (bpuh) and the first generations did it right, right?
To be honest men can’t be fair whatsoever. They might be able to pour their money on their wives evenly, but they are not gonna give the same treatment evenly cuz they are naturally going to lean towards one wife and our prophet peace be upon him was an example of that, he wasn’t perfectly perfect, but he was the prophet, women were falling head over heels for him. We don’t want just money from men, we also want fair love and treatment which is impossible to get with polygamy, so if you want wives who are not gonna cause you headaches just marry women who don’t care about you.
So with all the wars around the world and men dying, who takes care of the women?
exactly. Women who don't have an ounce of jealousy simply don't care about the man whatsoever.
@@freespirit7835she can take care of herself. Most women nowadays are financially independent al hamdulilah for this blessing.
I have seen some men marrying so many wives secretly but end up having different kids. When the wives find out, they get a divorce but he fails to notice that he has no one at the end. The kids don’t know each other and no home in the end. Was it worth it?Having one home can have more blessings. So let’s appreciate what we have rather than getting greedy. Sisters don’t agree to be a second option in someone’s life as you need to respect and value yourself.

So it's a lose-lose situation then either wich way it wuda went. Damned if he told them and Damned if he didn't (wich in this case he didn't). But did he harm the women in anyway? Were the children harmed?? Was he able to maintain wen all the wives DIDN'T KNOW?? You women act like this is "acceptable" that bcuz if or at 1nce y'all find out that the husband married again, that sumhow thas GROUNDS to divorce wen not taking into account the factors before she found out!? If that man has not harmed you or his children not put y'all further into Debt then where's the harm?? But the true & real Harm is from you women who ABANDON the marriage bcuz you're NOT the ONLY WIFE or the ONLY one who had his kids and now wanna separate/estrange whole sibling lineages/relationships bcuz you dont wanna believe in the whole of the Book of Allah awj. You'd rather split a good Muslim Man's whole Household than to stand firm and be patient thru the ordeal of Polygyny. Thas wat makes me angry about sisters like that. Yes, jealousy is a real feeling and I'm not denying that, but wen a good Muslim man is doing his best to strive in the way of Our Prophet sawa and following his sawa Sunnah and you women impede or obstruct in justice of the family Unit then you do a disservice to your own Faith and Hereafter and might even be blocking a whole gang of blessings you CUD HAVE gotten if you wud take on Polygyny as a jihad against your own selfish Nafs on the Day of Judgement to be rewarded for. But nobody wants to talk about that part tho, huh?!
@@rabbannibey1128 Marriage is built on trust, respect and confidence. If the husband hides a second familie, where is the trust? If you can lie about something so major, what else can you do? How can I trust you with my life? Because thats what it is about, TRUST and RESPECT! How can I trust you not to abuse the resposibility and power over me that Allah swt give you? Why are you taking my chose away? Because it is MY chose if I want to stay with you or divorce you.
Marriage is partnership, US not YOU or ME. Your half of my deen, just as I`m half of you deen. A husband should know his wife, her habits and like/dislike. Ask yourself: Why is it so importet to for you to have a second wife, that you would rather destroy your marriage and hurt your other half? Who are you to take away my chose when Allah swt gave my the freedom to chose?
I`m not against poly but I`m against breaking your oath and lying. I`m against shaming women becaus of their choice. I`m against hurting your partner, because nothing hurts more then SO telling you that your not important or loved enough that the "temptation" of being with other women is more significant then what we have.
TLDR; Hiding your second familie is a lie and you take away the chose of your wife who is half of your deen. If a guy really wants 4 wifes then he can be honest before nikkah and tell the girl that. Why is it necessary to marry a second wife and hurt you SO?
PS; English is not my first or second language.
PSPS; It haram to lie🙂
Edit: Because I wanted to add more and correct any grammar.
Sounds like the problem here is that women are forcing him into hiding his own wives and children.
@@rabbannibey1128 It's always easy to say when you aren't the one going through the ordeal. Until you experience it yourself you can't dictate how a sister should feel or act when facing such a trial. Is polygamy just about the man alone? Do you think hurt only has to with financial or physical aspects? What about emotional and phycological hurts? Even the Prophet SAW who had Allah's guidance when he practiced polygamy the way it should be, what happened among the mother's of Islam? Talk more of people who are majorly doing it for their own selfish interests. As a good Muslim there are many other ways one could perform jihad or Sunnah not just marrying more than one wife which might even be a cause for earning Allah's displeasure when you do it in a way that wasn't prescribed. Some people haven't even completed their pillars of Islam that is compulsory but only want to do the Sunnah of marrying more than one wife. Actions, Allah said, would be judged according to intentions.
I like how you presented the genuine concerns of polygyny. So many women pretend to be single for assistance and I have always said they are lying for resources that could go to other families truly in need of it.
This is a massive sin on a husband then as he has made her lie
I divorced my ex one of the reasons being he wanted me to go on assistance while he was working cause he didn’t want to give me anything or lose money on me. He only cared about saving for himself on the pretence it was for us. I’m not stupid. I knew if I got busted this man would never bail me out cause he had no intensions of supporting me. What I regret though is giving him a cent of my money. I urge women stop doing this 50/50 because u will end up the loser in the end. A man will come and divorce u or marry a second wife with so much audacity not knowing your kindness towards him for making living easier on them by working a job to go help him financially.

Polygamy marriages come under desires!
allah gave us the right to marry 4 women only if we can make it just between them and if we can't we have to stay with one , if a woman can't handle it, thats her going against the word of allah just like men desire to be with multiple women but we can't because we have to obey allah's words and go through the whole process of marriage , otherwise we will end up doing what these western people do and just be girlfriend boyfriend have 4 kids and never get married... or go and do adultery with multiple partners and risk having a lot of children with multiple women and ending with a lot of single mothers households.
in conclusion allah knows his creation more than anyone and he created men and women with different attributes and gave us orders according to those differences.
Salam sister! You’ve brought such beautiful light to such a heavy topic in today’s world. As a single Muslimah I understand how difficult it can be for a wife take on the duties, child labor, domestic chores, and even work a full career/job, this too can upset some sisters on why their husband would want another wife. A lot of sisters have been forced to be masculine unfortunately.
I love how you brought up how some women will not require anything from their husbands besides the honorary title of being a wife. In today’s world while being married does elevate both women and men’s social status, I’d argue that women who settle for less and only want a title of companionship will not be happy later in their lives. I’ve seen my aunt who was a beautiful wife, cared for her 6 children, raised them right, taught them Quran at home, now divorce her husband of 25 years because he had a secret family. It tore her a part and her sons do not respect their father any more.
I genuinely feel sorry for any sister or auntie that experiences this pain. May Allah ease your heart ache. I learned recently we must not become too attached to another human being as they are truly not ours to begin with. Also if we lose something not just death we can say “inna lilahi waa inna rajoon” to Him we belong, and to Him we return. Everything in life has an expiration date. Not to change the topic of marriage and polygamy but I truly believe in the west if women raise their standards, become educated in deen and academics, create their own assets, and pray for good fortune Allah will guide you through every loss or hardship with ease.
When I get married I plan to write this in my contract. To not engage in polygamy and if it’s done the consequences that will carry over. Know your rights sisters. This is something that should be discussed early before nikkah and have it written. If I’m wrong please correct me. Jazakh’Allah for this video sis!
You do know that it's not only the wife's responsibility to only do house chores right? Or domestic chores right?.
ASLM...sister ...surplus women..how will you solve this problem about surplus women....?????
@@abdulgamiedabderoef8628I guess some women don’t think holistic. Don’t ever think about "What if I become divorced one day and have trouble remarrying?"
@@purplelove3666Of course it is. Ask the real scholars like Sheikh Al Albani.
@@moonwalkerr87 and how many of these men marry divorcees? Majority marry virgins
An idea I found from RC Blakes is not to help the man to build. Men are generally not loyal and thankful, so often she will end up being resentful towards him when he later wants to marry a younger, trophy wife. I think women should require their husbands to be the man and provider of the house, as per Islam. Sister Nafisa is right, women require too little from men, I guess out of societal pressure and desperation.
Absolutely, some men can feel less of a man with the woman who helped him build because she saw him at his lowest. She reminds him of his struggle. When they become successful they go for younger women and splash money on them to seem like that “alpha” that he always wanted to be
Absolutely 💯
@@sarahosman9030 yes, exactly right. This is also why women should not be their husbands’ therapists. The men unconsciously start hating their women once she knows all his weaknesses, because everyone wants to be seen in their best light to others.
I love RC Blake talk,, very deep and thoughtful
You are correct. I watched the RC Blake’s video about that.
You bring forth all good arguments...but I could not stand him wanting to have another wife. Knowing when he is not around, he is with her, having sex with her. That would not only cause jealousy but it would certainly instill a hatred in me towards him. I have to give him all my love and attention while I would only receive 50% in case of one extra woman and 25% in case of 3 women!! And I understand God allows it when certain conditions are met but God also urge men to be juste. And I feel that most men do are not driven by justice when making that decision, but by lust.
This is a sensitive topic and thank you addressing it. I do agree that some men do marry more than one wife even though they cannot afford to provide financial support. Nowadays some men look for single mothers as they can just take their belonging and move to live with them. There are good and bad guys out there so choose wisely girls.
A second wife was murdered by the first wife in my country, and they are muslims,its very sad.
The prophet showed an example of monogamy in his marriage to his first wife and also an example of polygyny. Men only reference the latter due to their egos.
Not only their egos, but their lust as well.
@@Daughter-of-Palestine agreed .
@@Daughter-of-PalestineAre you from Palestine?
Have you looked into our hearts to see the egos?

Why does no one mention the affects of polygamy on the children?
Great question
Because they are selfish and only think about themselves, I have met many children who’s fathers were polygamous and they all complained and most resented their dads and complained saying it’s like they didn’t have a dad because he’s almost never around
It isn't polygamy. Children are affected by their parents. Regardless if they're mongamous parents or polygynyous parents.
@EriPagesand guess what polygamy effects the mental state of parents. Which effects the children too.
Great thing to add. It's one of the biggest reasons women don't want it. Yeah maybe the children's father will love them but what if he gets manipulated by his second wife. What if one of his wives die and then who will take of the children that was born from her ? Step moms are horrible these days. And in most cases. I've known a girl in my class who's father committed adultery and was in an affair with his office colleague. He then told his wife that Islam has given him the right to marry another woman. Imagine the audacity to preach Islam after committing adultery. Then he married that woman. Few years later his first wife died through a disease. And now he wants his daughters to leave the home. Because his new wife doesn't like his daughters. 😊She wants to kick them out of home. And those girls their relatives aren't even capable of taking care of them. They aren't even married. They are literally children. Their step mom doesn't let them eat what's been cooked in the house. One day that woman burned one of their board exam certificate. And said oops I accidentally did it while cleaning your room. 😊And there are still men who will say polygamy is pious and a must to do thing. Okay you wanna marry more than one . Be JUST. DON'T GET MANIPULATED. HAVE SOME CONSCIENCE. ya Allah
Let's start from beginning- Allah made just ONE ADAM AND ONE EVE.
So?
Thank you sis for raising the topic. This is my understanding of polygamy. So feel free to correct me.
Although Polygamy is permitted However it is by permission and not an obligation or recommendation in the Quran that a Muslim’s men should indulge in polygamy. At the time of the Prophet Muhammed (Peace upon Him) it was because thousands of Muslim men died in wars. What I don't understand is some Muslim’s men in the west want to have one wife in the west and one in for instance in thier native country.
From my perspective this happens primarily for two reasons. The first one is that polygamy is not legal recognized in Western countries. Therefore to provide legal backing to their second marriage they wish to have that spouse settle in Africa. The second reason is that most brothers from Africa eventually wish to permanently move back to Africa and therefore it makes sense to have a home and a spouse back there. Most sisters, especially from Africa, do not wish to ever permanently move back.
Correction: In the Prophet Muhammad's time (Peace Be Upon Him) polygamy was always there not just because of war. It was quite normal in many parts of the world. A lot of men even had much more than four wives. Islam came with new rulings to restrict it to four wives, so companions that had more than four divorced some of their wives and kept their favourite ones. In fact, there isn't a 'reason' for polygamy it's just allowed, but it comes with certain conditions (I.e each wife has their designated night among many other things)
@@khalidnoor7735 Polygamy is beneficial but isn't without its negative consequences, the negative consequences can be so serious, i.e the complete breakdown of someones mental health or the marriage itself, Allah swt would not have permitted it unless it served a purpose. the verse regarding polygamy was revealed at the time of war, although war is not the only time where polgamy addresses societal problems. that aside Allah swt instructs his servants to prioritise marrying the single, not those who are married already, therefore polygamy is there where sisters otherwise would not be able to find a husband for themseleves otherwise many times some men would have many wives and as a result other men would have none, we haven't yet lived in a time where women out number men by 4 to 1, although that time will come towards the end of the world. Also a man does need a reason to embark on pologamy, a man needs a reason to get married once, if i explain, if a man has no desire for marriage, intimacy etc, he cannot get married, a man can't get married more then once without any reason. hope that makes sense.
Finally a video that discusses this 'issue' or how it has become an issue, because of the naivety, overgiving, and yes dropping of standards from women and the entitled, selfish, and narcissistic attitude of some men (who immaturely hide behind religious allowances without even wanting to step up and take responsibility as requested by Allah SWT).
The first step to really solving how this has because such a problem is for women to wise up, understand and put ourselves first for a change.
We also forget that the Prophet (PBUH) was loyal to his first wife Khadija for 25 years and did not 'marry over' her.

My respect for Nafisa has trebled after this video. She has so many points that I have always thought about but could not articulate as well in words without feeling triggered and angry about it. And no I've never been married or in a relationship and I would never see myself with a man who engages in polygamy. Just not for me.

IM NOT MUSLIM BUT I RESPECT THIS WOMAN'S LOGIC AND MINDSET. THAT'S WHAT I LOVE THE MOST ABOUT MUSLIM WOMEN...
No respect,they choose their slavery. Women for Islam is like chickens for kfc.
So very to the point sister. If we are already coping with the bare minimum, financially and emotionally, how on earth can we deal with even less.
I feel my husband was engaged in emotional infidelity with the intention of making it into a polygamous situation.
His interactions with her took over his life, he even gave more attention to her children while neglecting ours.
Unfortunately there are women out there who have no empathy for the first wife and just want the man they have set their sights on, regardless of what they are destroying.
I do feel my ex husband has traits of a covert Narcissist and that this woman of his is also Narcissistic, my life would have been destroyed by the both of them.
I know you’ve covered Narcissism before, but would it be possible for you to highlight Narcissistic men who fall into the situation of polygamy with a woman who herself may be Narcissistic?
Jazak’Allah khair for your beneficial content ♥️
You've dropped some gems…I’m still watching the video as I write this; also another point is men use polygamy/polygyny as a symbol of status to portray having wealth and use multiple marriages as a way to emotionally blackmail women.
Allah humma baarik sister Nafisa! You´re doing real community work, mash´Allah! May you feel its fruits in both this dunya and after. I sensed some fear and apprehension on your part in the beginning. I might be wrong, but if you were scared, it´s not strange at all. The common sport for Muslim "brothers" (can we even call them that?) on social media today seems to be "Who can bash Muslim sisters the most?" Any sister who dares speak about this usually gets her video cut into clips and then they go on a rant to dismiss her and misrepresent her. Some amazing sisters on a popular Muslim RUclips show got ripped into shreds by so called Muslim brothers, and branded as "kaafir" astaghfarullah, for even bringing up the topic of polygyny being used the wrong way. The men treating the allowance of polygyny as a FARDH just cannot stand any woman even breathing in the direction of the topic.
The common tricks and vocabulary to dismiss honest and brave sisters is "Feminist", "Affected by the West", "Past her prime" and "Misled". (Ironically, all of these men are sitting IN THE WEST with their podcast, living in Western countries, often on Western benefits and mostly craving Western white women as extra wives). Notice how they will never be able to touch the topic in a decent manner with facts. No, they resort to humiliation because they simply cannot admit what is happening in the Ummah regarding polygyny. And honestly, it seems like they don´t care. They will attack sisters´ faces, their age, their career, their education but...not talk about the topic at hand: Polygyny being misused WIDELY in the Ummah.
My apprehension was more on choosing my words carefully so as to best get across what I mean. I have NO FEAR OF ANYONE ON SOCIAL MEDIA for any come back.
I don’t enjoy drama, it’s an energy I don’t attract but trust me I can absolutely stand firm for myself and my views.
They are not my Lord so their thoughts or labels mean nothing to me.
Much of what you have said is the truth.
May Allah keep us all rightly guided and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us.
I’m a western man married to one wife and I have no cravings for other wives or mistresss because my only wife is more than enough for me. It’s more satisfying to have one wife that you love than having several wife that you don’t love all and have to force yourself to satisfy each equally. And how an average Muslim man can make 4 wives happy? Only reach can afford that, if you live in a developed country, you know how expensive it is, and I’m not talking about some lazy bums that make no money and blame the government, I’m tslking about men having decent and important professions - doctors, teachers, police officers, fire fighters. I don’t think Mohamed didn’t know that and made Islam convinient only rich men. Now imagine 20% of male population can afford 4 wives and marry them, that would leave very few women available for those doctors m, teachers etc, very unfair. And I don’t mention the pain that poor Muslim women have to endure sharing their husband with other p…ssies(sorry for French). Islam is not fair for non-rich men and women. Which proves this religion is a big lie . Allah is the best of decievers , first lied to billions of Christians putting someone else on the cross instead of Jesus, and after 600 years he lied to billions of Muslims.
@Crusader312 You are wrong. Islam is the First Religion that advises to marry only one. Marry 2 3 or 4 If you can treat them equally. Goes on to say, If you can't treat them equally then marry only one. Later in the Same Surah says And you won't be able to treat them equally. So what might be the equation of that?
For a good Just honorable man one wife could be enough.
For a greedy man Not even 4 wives are enough. What if a woman has children with a toxic man and ist Not able to get a divorce for whatever reason, maybe financial, maybe cultural. Wouldn't it be better for her to share the Situation with Others? This Kind of man, will have more wives anyway. Takes the burden off just one.
And there are other circumstances where a noble man May have four wives and Takes Just Care of them and Protects them and fullfills their needs. But that is a huge responsibility.
@Crusader, And how is it Not fair? You say you crave only one wife and then get upset that wealthy men May be able to have more wives. That does Not make any sense

Very nice video that actually comes with compassion. So many men try to attack women’s emaan for having these emotions, when there’s a natural way we were created as well as legitimate reasons why it wouldnt work for us.
I used to think that even though I rather be an only wife that if my future husband were to engage in it, I wouldn’t be able to do much.
After getting married my feelings changed and I don’t want any parts.
I think there’s a reason I used to joke that I wouldn’t mind being among 4 wives of mufti menk if he were to want that lol bc there’s a correlation with great character, compassion, and sympathy that can things like that easier to deal with.
But yea at this point of time, I want nothing to with it. I just wish to reactify my mindset about it so that I don’t transgress against Allah.😢

It makes a person so attached to its target that reality is overlooked. The conditions to understand reality include an objectivity to it. It means acceptance of reality whether palatable or bitter, whether it is for personal gain or against it. These conditions are not in line with the dictates of desire.
In another verse Almighty Allah puts forth this truth in even stronger terms. He calls desire the god of some human beings. He says: Have you seen him who has taken his desire to be his god? (Q 25:43). Such a god has been condemned in the strongest terms in Hadith. The Prophet (s) has said: There is no god under the sky that has been worshipped other than Allah that is worse than the desire. (Taken from Tafsīr Namūne). No other deity is as despicable as the human being’s own desire.
Imam al-Sādiq (a) says: Be apprehensive of your desires in the same way as you are apprehensive of your enemies. For there is no greater enemy for human beings than their own desires and what their tongues reap (Al-Kulaynī, al-Kāfī, 2: 336.)
Following of desires is often not recognized for the lowly quality it is. It can be masqueraded as freedom, having fun, being with the masses, etc. It clads a veil over the person as well as others who are exposed to him. Only those who have insight and reflect on reality are able to see through it.
This verse reminds us of the danger!
Polygamy marriages come under desires!Polygamy marriages are corruption...
Destroying the frist marriages!.
Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Satan places his throne over the water and he sends out his troops. The closest to him in rank are the greatest at causing tribulations. One of them says: I have done this and this. Satan says: You have done nothing. Another one says: I did not leave this man alone until I separated him from his wife. Satan embraces him and he says: You have done well.”

Polygamy marriages come under desires!
Great video. Honestly, as a Muslim woman, I HATE POLYGAMY... Not only because of jealousy, but I also don't want to catch any STDs' or STIs, my grandparents ( who are Muslims by the way ) never lived that lifestyle, and my mother never lived that lifestyle either. I'm not sure if my father ever try to pressure my mom into Polygamy even though he's Christian
u need to learn basics of your religion sister and whjo Allaah is
@@gcsparts I know who Allah is, that's number one. Two, I do not, and I refuse to live my life as a sister wife That's not me and it will never be me
@@gcsparts She knows the basics of her religion. Polygyny isn't one of the basics, nor is it mandatory. Stop trying to police how a woman feels and thinks about certain topics, she has every right to not want to be in a polygynous marriage. Which is why it is halal for a woman to put that as a stipulation before marriage.
@@Daughter-of-Palestine she shouldn't say she hates polygamy as Allah has made it halal. How can you hate halal as good Muslim 🙉
As I woman I agree, men don't have maturity for it and clearly is destroying marriages - due to their selfish desire. However, you do not get STDs from it, as it is within a marital contract. STDs is only through extra marital affairs and adultery.
Hmmmm I was on phone talking with my husband not knowing he was expecting his so called 2wives that very night.
I have distanced myself from that marriage.
Because I felt betrayed
May Allah ease your affairs my sister. You will get through this and thrive with the help of Allah.

Sis, subhanAllah I feel like this is just great marriage advice in general. I don’t think men understand all that a wife does for them. Making me tear up, there’s so many things you’ve said that I’ve felt but never really understood the depths. I’m not in a polygamous relationship nor do I see myself ever being in one, you’ve spoke such haqq that us women go through.
Marriage is jihad for women for a reason. Jazakallahu khairan ❤
I swear you will destroy your marriage if you keep listening to such "marriage advices". More like divorce advises lol.
See, you already think you're doing too much and your husband, too little.
Having this mentaliy will cause problems in your marriage.
Unless it is true.
Prophet wanted to put a stop to all cruelties to women. He preached kindness towards them. He told the Muslims: "Fear Allah in respect of women." And: "The best of you are they who behave best to their wives." And: "A Muslim must not hate his wife, and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, let him be pleased with one that is good." And:"The more civil and kind a Muslim is to his wife, the more perfect in faith he is."
The Prophet (peace be upon him) was most emphatic in enjoining upon Muslims to be kind to their women when he delivered his famous khutba on the Mount of Mercy at Arafat in the presence of one hundred and twenty-four thousand of his Companions who had gathered there for the Hajj al-Wada (Farewell Pilgrimage). In it he ordered those present, and through them all those Muslims who were to come later, to be respectful and kind towards women. He said:
"Fear Allah regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of Allah, and made their bodies lawful with the word of Allah. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you in respect of their food and clothing according to your means."
In Islam a woman is a completely independent personality. She can make any contract or bequest in her own name. She is entitled to inherit in her position as mother, as wife, as sister and as daughter. She has perfect liberty to choose her husband. The pagan society of pre-Islamic Arabia had an irrational prejudice against their female children whom they used to bury alive. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was totally opposed to this practice. He showed them that supporting their female
Islam raised the status of women, and made them equal with men in most rulings. So women, like men, are commanded to believe in Allah and to worship Him. And women are made equal to men in terms of reward in the Hereafter. Women have the right to express themselves, to give sincere advice, to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and to call people to Allah. Women have the right to own property, to buy and sell, to inherit, to give charity and to give gifts. It is not permissible for anyone to take a woman’s wealth without her consent. For more about the rights of women in Islam, see the detailed answer.Islam showed full respect to the women and ensured rights, dignity and honour and equal status of men and women in case of marriage because for being a valid marriage acquiescence of the bride groom as well as bride is mandatory. In this regard no one is superior.The Quran explicitly states that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. Furthermore, the Quran: forbids female infanticide (practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia and other parts of the world) instructs Muslims to educate daughters as well as sons.
I'm a Muslim man, polygamy is useful is certain situations, however 1 wife is far better. Inshalla we all fight the right one
Also what I find very funny is most Muslim men don't even really have a second wife so I don't even know the purpose of this video
@@trublacking8572It's to make sisters hate/fear/resent brothers and refrain from marriage altogether so that the l'g'b't agenda can be fulfilled upon sisters.

@@trublacking8572there are actually a lot of men that bring this topic up to their wives. The topic of this video is on point
As a wife, from another religion, my heart goes out to Muslim women. This is a heart wrenching topic. I admire that you have tried to rationalise this and provide reasons aside from jealousy, but the truth is jealousy is enough to be a reason in itself. If you are unhappy and miserable, what kind of life will you lead? I wouldn’t even accept my husband having close female friends. Yet, you are expected to accept your husband having another sexual partner or partners. It is definitely a sorry state of affairs, excuse the pun!
The amount of adultery amongst the disbelievers speaks for itself.
With all due respect, you not being Muslim cannot comprehend our level of understanding. We have a different mindset. You don't have to understand.
Christian men have a long history of justifying unfaithfulness too and all they have to do to clean their souls in confess over and over to a priest. The purpose of multiple wives as I understand it was to care for disenfranchised women as a result of war unbalancing the population ratio and not intended for sexual conquest.
You‘ve made a respectful and nice statement, thank you for that.
I think, This topic needs a little deeper understanding that leads to an understanding and accepting opinion and the clear message in mind, that it‘s a choice for every woman, based on the right of free will without external force from anyone.
Atleast to have a legal 2nd wife
Than to have side chicks
Recently in my country a man unalived both his wives because they wouldn't stop quarreling. He turned himself into the police and left his 7 children orphans. This coward couldn't handle the pressures of polygyny, so his solution was to engage in haram to "fix" it.
The reason why women are against polygamy is because we know our limitations. The problem is men don't understand their limits . Most can't treat one wife right, but want to invite more people to the party. Heck , some of them aren't even married at all, but still indulge in such fantasies instead of becoming better, more marriageable men.
Most mn can't treat one wife right? Can you swear by Allah that that is the case?
Is that why you're a le's'bi'an? Because only women can treat women right, right!?
May Allah curse you!

Assalamu alaykum, great points sister!
I have been married for 20 years to my husband and we started with nothing. We both sacrificed and worked hard. I helped a lot financially too. Alhamdulillah we are in a much better position now.
I would feel hurt if my husband was to take another wife now after what we have been through. I wouldn’t stop him or even divorce him, but it would definitely change our marriage.
I highly doubt he would. He probably thinks of you all day lol.
A wife who is with her husband from when he had nothing, is a keeper.

@@Therebelliousprince001 Why do you feel fearful hearing the truth? Being faithful to a husband while they had nothing has never stopped most men from marrying another wife when they have something. Why is it so hard for men to consider their wive's feelings or put themselves in their shoes? Just because it being this is halal and the other way Haram doesn't make the feelings different.
I have never ever seen in the history of man a successful, thriving, expanding, community where polygamy is the norm. Never seen where the children are contributing, emotionally well balanced members of a powerful society. What I have witnessed is pervasive poverty, disease community of second class citizens that are often criminally insane. I’ve seen the secret second wife and her mother, sister and friend planning to tie up the the first wife put her in cement shoes and throw her in the ocean. i’ve seen the husband partner with the other wife to steal the wealth and inheritance and everything, then leave. men and women doing black magic on each other. Everybody lying about everything all of the time collectively. Good reputation’s destroyed by vitriol and gossip because of jealousy. Even Aisha suffered terrible tears and a beating from her own father Abu Bakar on gossip and false accusations. Muhammed (saw) turned his back on her, because men easily believe and are easily led to believe the worst about one they even love. so it seems to me that polygamy is not a haqq but clearly a test. Only a test.
Thank you soooooo much. You said everything I have in mind when I see shows like “the bitter truth” talking on this topic. They are always biased and never consider the side effects that come with polygamy. It’s always the woman’s fault cuz she’s a clump of brainless emotions (in the men’s opinion). You should be there on the show.
Allah said "And seek by means of what Allah has given you the future abode, and do not neglect your portion of this world, and do good (to others) as Allah has done good to you, and do not seek to make mischief in the land, surely Allah does not love the mischief-makers. Quran 28:77
I think it’s completely stupid for men to think this is an appropriate thing to do…. Rich or not, honestly. The women in polyamorous dynamics affirm to themselves that they are an object for men… period!
Nafisa, before talking about the financial situation, I think you should ask ‘why would a man, with a good wife and kids, want to take on a second wife?’ And, why would good wife want to share her man with another woman? It made sense in the Prophet’s times, when there were helpless widows, daughters or orphans, left behind from wars. But, simply getting married out of lust makes no sense! It feels like cheating almost. I don’t understand, why any self respecting working, unmarried girl would even consider becoming a second wife, when clearly she is not required!
Some women are desperate and lack self esteem.
@@rosemarie6347yea the full esteemed once are still single till date ,are you going 2 marry them ,with the rice of men unwilling to get married cause of the system , depression is ravaging everywhere here in the west ,people are getting lonelier and you are here talking about self esteem ,who as it helped ,you modern women GB the worst kind of advices and you ain't even near better yourself
Lots of women do this because it makes them feel like they have power over the first wife. 'I'm younger, prettier, less baggage, etc.' I have no respect for those women. They deserve misery in their marriages to an already married man.
Another scientifically noted reason is gene pool diversification. If everyone married the same men leaving single men not only is this a problem for them but it cuts down in the diversity of the gene.pool so it's nature's way of helping to preserve humanity.
So grateful to you for making this video it was much needed unfortunately the men feel they are untouchable when it comes to this topic they feel they have a right to take another wife no reasons considered. It is very complicated I have seen many abusive men take another wife and neglect the first wife and children. Then they will say they are performing a Sunnah by marrying another wife, by neglecting a fardh! There is soo much to say on this topic and men abuse this privilege. I blame the male scholars and da’ees who do not guide them and allow them to keep feeding this passion of theirs as that’s what it is
Very informative video, Nafisa. The female perspective on this topic is so often ignored or reduced to petty jealousy.
I’m Nigerian, Hausa to be specific so you can imagine that I’ve had almost no example of positive polygamy in my life. What I’ve seen is women having psychotic breaks because their husbands never told them they were getting married again until after the nikkah, men who are in their 50s and 60s preying on girls fresh out of secondary school and university, men essentially turning their eldest children into parents because they keep having babies with their new young wives even though they can’t take care of them, and households so toxic that one of the wives ends up dead and the other in jail for manslaughter.
I’m sure there are people who have married a second wife for the right reasons, and I’m sure there were more of them in the past, but in this modern era all I see are men remarrying to ignore a problem with their current wife, or old men remarrying for lustful reasons, completely ignoring the impact on their first wife and any children they may have together. My parents never participated in polygamy, and insha Allah neither will I.

Omg that user called polygyny who's saying a psychotic breakdown is the women's own fault and reduced it to "jealousy" is either an idiot or a troll. Probably both.

I feel my husband will be equal and not treat me any different after he gets married.
I feel like communication is the key and having trust in allah is what makes it easier.
But every single point you have mentioned is exactly whats going through my mind.
Would love to hear the positive of polygamy from your perspective and how it can go right.
Jazaki allah kheir for this amazing video ❤
Please don't let these vids negatively affect your marriage...
Adam and Eve, only one Eve. If look at demographics of most countries, the ratio of man to women is roughly 50/50. That shows that God want one man to be with one woman. Stop following Mohamed, he brought wars, slavery and sick ideology that teaches women to accept their inferior status to men so they should be ok to share their most loved man with other women. As a man imagine you had to share you most loved woman with other men - I know sounds unacceptable . Islam really makes people blind. Christianity is fair , it teaches men to love their wives like Jesus loved the church, marriage is a Union of One man and One woman, they become one flesh. In Islam wife is just a temporary helper, because in heaven you are promised much younger, virgin and many more wives. As a christian if I go to heaven, I just want to be together with my only wife.
@@Therebelliousprince001it doesn't
May Allah bless you sister
Foolishness. Good intended one man one woman, that’s his original plan. Islam is a lie.
I am a Muslim man, 62 years old. I agree 100% with the logic and emotions that the sister brought up in this video.
A man who is not fulfilling his martial responsibilities to level of excellence, should not even think about marrying another wife. In addition, even if he is a good husband but his wife sacrificed through marriage to make up for long difficult circumstances they had to go through, then the least of appreciation for her is to pay back the favor by protecting her emotionally and pleasing her every way he can, including rejecting the idea of marrying another wife.
If the situation is different than all of the above, then they can reach sone mutual agreements in regard to polygamy, if necessary.
By the way, from my research, I found out that polygamous marriages in most Muslim communities in the world, that last, are much less than 1% of all marriages. I think most men do not have the capability to have a polygamous marriage AND succeed, in nowadays cultures and economic burdens.
At the rate that this happens, the court needs to put a cap, like you have to be making this much to have more than one legal wife, and the income should increase per additional wife. I think it would be Islamic to do that, being that equality and equity need to be established, and Allah had already concluded "You won't be equal with them" Which means just stick to one, instead of accumulating sins! Like honestly, stories are sad out there.
For a man to say, "Oh, you are jealous!" It just says that the man actually thinks he is all that (weird!!)
it is like secretly dont want to do it becuase they know men wont be getting their enjoyment as much anymore. shame on those men who fail to provide and may Allah give them the judgment they deserve.
Yes I agree totally that's very weird for a husband who fear Allah,.....to say that a woman is jealous ....well duh as women we have our natural jealousy....and it's even more weird when the wives tell each other that....oh u jealous of me ...or I know we have our jealousy moments like leave that alone
Listen,I don't have time,once he says he wants a second wife, I am getting a divorce,I don't have time to argue and go back and forth,you need to start thinking about your sanity instead of pleasing a man who doesn't care about you.

@@purplelove3666Even if he is just and provides for you and both of your kids?
As Salaamu alaykum ukhti! You have articulated this so well, everything that has been going on in my head for the past month you have described. Alhamdulillah! May Allah be pleased with you. Inshallah the men and women learn something by your video.
One man, one wife! As a revert Muslim I see Muslim men, misuse the whole reason why polygamy was provided. In ancient times to provide for a fallen comrades family in a honourable way and for protection. Now many do this for many reasons, and mainly for the sexual desires of an old man, wanting young flesh. Totally unacceptable but men will be men! When considering a man for marriage, you women have the right to question him, as to his opinion of polygamy, and if he married you, would he agree to stay with you only. If he agrees and then breaks such an agreement, divorce him if you cannot accept his willingness to break his word. What is a man, without honour? Nothing whatsoever!
Absolutely right, you are. Saying that as a man. Man relaying on wife for even 1% to support the family shouldn't even think of 2nd wife. Get 2nd job instead.
Thank you for bringing light to this topic. I feel like a lot of the married men who consider polygamy have the emotional intelligence of a fruit and they are weak minded. They struggle to protect and provide for the existing females in their lives. I also feel that a lot of them use it to demean their wives and to make them feel small. Cruel
💯
Y’all do nothing but complain
@@SheedLordBear so do you men
All Islamic legal schools allow women to demand in the marriage contract that their husbands do not take other wives.
the norm in Islam is monogamy, and you have every right to refuse polygamy
if you hear anything else saying the opposite, ignore it!
Precisely! I wonder why Muslim male podcasters and preachers in mosques don't talk about this right of women often. Why they try to hide it.
Even the leader of women in jannah did not like her husband taking a second wife during her lifetime. It is only after her death he took multiple wives.
As a man, I see your points and was good to hear a women side of polygamy.
1) the first 10-15min of the vid highlighted the sacrifices that women make in marriages and I also agree they do but also men do the same so it not only one sided. These sacrifices should be made to make a good marriage so I’m not complaining.
2) the 15-20 min mark stated that women may made a man with ambition and successful due to the fact he was lazy and was not working and a women took over or pushed him to be a successful man. As she stated the women may had been desperate to get married and carried that burden but I think she shouldn’t have because these kind of men couldn’t look after themselves. (These are kind of men that should think deeply before thinking of pologomy)
In the contrary of that, if a man that’s ambitious and may make enough for the time and became successful during the marriage due to him building a skill that was high rewarding and fulfilled the rights of his wife emotionally and financially then he can do pologomy because he is a good guy and a responsible man. (If he fulfilled this and the wife decides to leave then that a bad move on the wife, not saying she doesn’t have the right to say her feelings or feel a certain way)
3) the latter stage of the video.
We are humans and yes we may show a bit more feelings towards the new wife due to it being a new relationship. The man should be a emotionally aware and not start acting different towards his first wife but that new feelings will also ware off and the man can logically think when the new marriage feelings goes.
Summary
The women should set standards of not going for men that are lazy and not ambitious. I’m not saying only go for the people that got money but don’t be in a situation were the guy doesn’t work and is neglectful of his responsibility.
(This is a good video and make us look at both sides of the coin)
“There is no compulsion in religion” [al-Baqarah 2:256]... Gaslighting and Manipulating women into polygamy marriages!!!. Polygamy marriages are corruption...
"""And you will never be able to be equal between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. From Quran surah Nisa"""... Muslim ummah keep telling others don't follow your desires, women are desires!. But desires can be very powerful. They can hold sway over the mind and lead a person away from reality. When a person follows desires and submits to them, without giving consideration to the guidance received from God, he goes astray. Following of desires is directly linked to misguidance.
To understand the effect of desire it is important to analyze what desire does to human intelligence. It puts a curtain over the eyes of the mind. It makes a person so attached to its target that reality is overlooked. The conditions to understand reality include an objectivity to it. It means acceptance of reality whether palatable or bitter, whether it is for personal gain or against it. These conditions are not in line with the dictates of desire.
In another verse Almighty Allah puts forth this truth in even stronger terms. He calls desire the god of some human beings. He says: Have you seen him who has taken his desire to be his god? (Q 25:43). Such a god has been condemned in the strongest terms in Hadith. The Prophet (s) has said: There is no god under the sky that has been worshipped other than Allah that is worse than the desire. (Taken from Tafsīr Namūne). No other deity is as despicable as the human being’s own desire.

Following of desires is often not recognized for the lowly quality it is. It can be masqueraded as freedom, having fun, being with the masses, etc. It clads a veil over the person as well as others who are exposed to him.

Polygamy marriages come under desires!
Very well said!!! Infact Allah knew what first wives need to bear. Even second and third wives have their own to bear. First wives look at building a man from the scratch but they forget the millions of men who have become better and advanced due to the efforts of the second and third wives which in the end benefits all families. Am a woman but let's not be biased. It's not anyone's fault that you came into man's life when he was younger. We can't expect young men to have everything older should have. But this doesn't make the less of men. Allah has created men differently from women. Besides, Islam also looks at the bigger picture of society. Do you want other women who could even be your daughters to become prostitutes, lesbians or single mothers just coz you came at a point where a man had nothing? Is it fair to other people and the society? Come on ladies let's think. We can all have our rights from fulfilled without making it look like men shouldn't marry again if they begun when they were broke. We also forget that as women we were also no where when these men has just come into our lives. We are too ungrateful to appreciate the sacrifices these men made with the little they had at that time. We are also too selfish to appreciate their personal efforts they have made to advance themselves. We take ourselves like we are Allah who gave them everything they have.

What is interesting is that we incessantly hear men desire more than one wife. But the first man ever created, Adam( as), Allah created for him a one wife Hawah.
I totally agree and I love the insight you offered in this video. I honestly don’t think many of these men deserve multiple wives. Many don’t know how to treat any women, let alone many women.
If the government is taking care of the family then YOU CANT AFFORD ANOTHER WIFE! smh I hate that this sister is so hurt by us men.

Protect your marriage and your husband
@@Therebelliousprince001 what you mean?
Salaam. Thank you for this video. I found out recently after my nikah that I am actually the second wife for my husband. I've been trying to get over the guilt of his first wife not knowing that he married me, and what's more, as a recent revert I am trying to get over the initial reactions of disgust and hurt from betrayal and lying. I know it is not my place or my right to question his marriage to his first wife, but a large part of me is grieving over my expectations for my marriage, guilt for his doing this to his first wife, and disappointment that I could be misled in such a manner. I doubted myself when I said that polygamy is selfish, but the way you put it is correct. It is selfish of the man, but they are quick to call the women selfish because they do not want to participate in it. I pray Allah SWT will remove these feelings from me over time, but it is good to know that other muslimahs feel the same way I do about polygamy. It is just when it is just, but it disgusts us when we are lied to and betrayed.
Adding to my story because it was brought up in the video: He married me but refuses to have a civil marriage with me (legal marriage, in the US) because he is already married to the first wife. I am the one who is able to bear kids, but the first wife is not able to. So in this situation, if I get additional assistance from the government, is this money haram? These are the questions I ask him, because by refusing to support me and my future children in a just manner (50% first wife no kids, 50% second wife with kids... to me that is not justice), he will be driving me towards haram actions. There are consequences to his decisions.
@@putocuchinta a man should always tell his first wife that he is getting married not to cause any trust issues or hatred, regarding other questions ask a sheikh just to be sure nothing haram is going on.

Actually, Men has nothing to do with polygamy. Don't ask men. Ask women, why she chose to marry a guy who had wives, and she knew it,yet, she chose it.
Allah(SWT) has given us free will. If the parents force someone to do something, then, that's different, Islam has nothing to do with it.
I'm a man and ofcourse I will marry only 1 wife. Wth am I supposed to do with multiple wives☠️
Just sharing.🙏
I hate married men, I hope that answers you're question!
Ask Allah why he permitted this ridiculos nonsense and put a number to it. Polygamy comes with pain hurt jealousy, diseases trauma.... The bad outweighs the good by a lot
@@nancyfancy1956 let's suppose each man on the planet is assigned only to each woman.
Then, what about the others. What about them? Let me tell you, if their imaan is not strong, most probably, they may join to become a prostitute out of depression and loneliness, which many teenagers have become prey of. Look, Sister, Everything has a reason. A man is allowed to marry more than one woman, if he fulfills some criteria. But a woman is not. Everything has a reason , a man does not bear a child, woman does. Just try to think, I'm not explaining here..
Because of hypergamy. Some of women would rather choose a rich married guy rather than a single guy of their own social status. That's also bad.
They both said, _"Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the lost."_ Holy Qur'an 7:23

As salaam alakium why would these muslima sisters continue marrying and becoming second wives when you have good muslim brothers that are not married and looking for a wife
True 💯
I personally know of three men currently looking for a wife.
I don’t think the women know where to find the good men. I know so many sisters looking and a man who is also looking so may Allah make it easier.
People’s criteria’s are also different so it makes it challenging

Jokes, aside, whatever the Prophet said is with doubt the truth and beneficial for us. I am all for 4 wives, Im like you bro, reading tahajud and making pray for them. But, my thing is this, if your wife is good to you, then do it only so long as your not letting her standard of life slip.
@@SheedLordBear what does the prophet loving women have to do with this? The prophet values women, this doesnt mean he encouraged polygamy. Polygamy was only a norm when it was a necessity for reasons such as war, not so that men can run around parading multiple women because they cannot discipline themselves sexually. Polygamy was allowed for the benefit of women not the benefit of men.
One wife is enough and if both know the right of their spouse and the responsibility of each other then that is the best. leave the polygamy who can avoid it. it is not for all and certainly not the poor (in Deen, and wealth).
Vast majority have one wife. Only a tiny minority (mostly rich and tribals) have multiple. It's not possible for all to have multiple. Yet muslim male podcasters keep on trying to promote it.
If polygamy was permissable for women. I wonder how men would react emotionally if his wife married other men for example his friends.
ohh my God, we are talking about the Deen which is ''ISLAM'' POLYGAMY is DEEN. In the way you put it, it will no longer a POLYGAMY but ''FOLLOGAMY''

When both husband and wife does not study and put Islam into practice there is always a problem. Most of this problem will occur due to Islamic illiteracy, greed, and jealousy, Sister your presentation is good but guide us using the Quran and Hadith while You give us clarification. May Allah guide us.
Prophet wanted to put a stop to all cruelties to women. He preached kindness towards them. He told the Muslims: "Fear Allah in respect of women." And: "The best of you are they who behave best to their wives." And: "A Muslim must not hate his wife, and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, let him be pleased with one that is good." And:"The more civil and kind a Muslim is to his wife, the more perfect in faith he is."
The Prophet (peace be upon him) was most emphatic in enjoining upon Muslims to be kind to their women when he delivered his famous khutba on the Mount of Mercy at Arafat in the presence of one hundred and twenty-four thousand of his Companions who had gathered there for the Hajj al-Wada (Farewell Pilgrimage). In it he ordered those present, and through them all those Muslims who were to come later, to be respectful and kind towards women. He said:
"Fear Allah regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of Allah, and made their bodies lawful with the word of Allah. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you in respect of their food and clothing according to your means."
In Islam a woman is a completely independent personality. She can make any contract or bequest in her own name. She is entitled to inherit in her position as mother, as wife, as sister and as daughter. She has perfect liberty to choose her husband. The pagan society of pre-Islamic Arabia had an irrational prejudice against their female children whom they used to bury alive. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was totally opposed to this practice. He showed them that supporting their female
Islam raised the status of women, and made them equal with men in most rulings. So women, like men, are commanded to believe in Allah and to worship Him. And women are made equal to men in terms of reward in the Hereafter. Women have the right to express themselves, to give sincere advice, to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and to call people to Allah. Women have the right to own property, to buy and sell, to inherit, to give charity and to give gifts. It is not permissible for anyone to take a woman’s wealth without her consent. For more about the rights of women in Islam, see the detailed answer.Islam showed full respect to the women and ensured rights, dignity and honour and equal status of men and women in case of marriage because for being a valid marriage acquiescence of the bride groom as well as bride is mandatory. In this regard no one is superior.The Quran explicitly states that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. Furthermore, the Quran: forbids female infanticide (practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia and other parts of the world) instructs Muslims to educate daughters as well as sons.
I think men underestimate the strength and righteousness that it takes to care for multiple wives.
Id say out of 300 men maybe 1 man is capable of caring for more then one wife the correct way.
This argument is so hypothetical. What if the man is already established? And doing well. When work for any wife is optional? Most men in this position will let a potential wife know polygamy is what he wants because he can afford it.He has to be responsible and able. We all know that-
And lastly if Allah grants it and the man does it correctly. No matter what you think. Allah allows it for a reason ; there are many benefits that come with polygamy- its not all doom and gloom. Allah doesnt allow anything halal to be all doom and gloom with lots of fitna-
It can be very beautiful and rewarding for all; in the eyes of Allah-
Omg I have never heard a woman speak so much sense, you have described the story of my life ❤
Thank you! Jazzaki Allahu khairan❤ The best video on polygamy I have ever watched Mashallah! I've downloaded it as well. May Allah bless you sister for such an input. You're very intelligent Mashallah!
I was ask to be the 3rd wife, but I said “no “ because of many reasons . it wasn’t because I did not love him enough.
#1 I make more money then all his wives , and I was willing to help pay for school fees (maybe) for children that are not mine, but then if he is having a new baby every year , it dawned on me, that he has no ‘time ‘ for me. I told him he had to many responsibilities. He was very upset. I am American with many Muslims in my family. My great-grandfather from India, had 4 wives and many children. We are liven in different times now. Leah Tunkara
@@astroflyinsights No he did not ask for money, it was just that he wanted to get his oldest daughter to go to school in America, and I was gonna try to arrange that. He offered to pick me up from the airport on my very first trip to Africa and he knew my first husband who was born in London. So he won my respect and then my love. He was a total gentleman ♥️🌍
I agree with you wholeheartedly sister. 😢 I hear the pain in your voice.
And the pain is caused by the weakness and ineptitude of the men. Smh
The one who is best for his wive, is also the one who accepts her choice for polygamy. The first, then the second, then 3rd, then 4th need to accept the coming one. If the first one doesn't agree, there is no polygamy. So the man is good for the wive and respects her choice. Simple.
I strongly feel polygamy should be against the law and banded permanently. Marriage should be taken more seriously instead of men being so selfish because they're wife is menstruating, emotional, or too tired to give into so much. The men need to be grateful for what their women contribute already. I don't care if they can afford it. It's hurtful to a lot of women and myself to know that a man wants more than what we bring to the table. Having an extra woman takes away from the little attention we already are given. The don't bother to consider our opinion or feelings. I would feel like I've been replaced. This polygamy crap just gives them an excuse to cheat
Not only this but polygyny that's not legal doesn't protect the wife and family and can lead to less accountability. Women and children need legal protection and that is what legal marriage is for.
Legal marriage in the west is unislamic.
very true, bigamy is an offence in some western countries still so the other wives will be denying themselves of their legal rights and benefits to being married in the country. even non muslims know that legal marriage affords more protection than just cohabitation
You mean legal protection in Kaafir systems.. I got you
