What is the Ruling on Plural Marriage?.

Praise be to Allaah.

Allaah has allowed men to have more than one wife, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice”

[Surah Al-Nisa’ 4:3]

This clearly shows that plural marriage is permissible, and that according to Islamic sharee’ah a man may marry one, two, three or four wives, but it is not permissible for him to marry more than four. This is the view of the mufassireen and fuqaha’; the Muslims are unanimously agreed on this point and there is no difference of opinion.

It should be noted that there are conditions attached to plural marriage:

1. Justice and fairness.

Because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one” 

[Surah An-Nisa’ 4:3]. 

This verse shows that justice is a condition of plural marriage being permissible. If a man fears that he will not be able to treat his wives fairly if he marries more than one, then it is forbidden for him to marry more than one. What is meant by justice here is treating all wives equally with regard to spending, clothing, staying overnight and other material matters which are within his ability to control.

With regard to justice and equal treatment in the area of love, he is not held accountable for that, and it is not required of him because it is not possible to control it. This is what is meant by the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):

“You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent desire”

[Surah An-Nisa’ 4:129]

i.e., with regard to love of the heart.

2 . Being able to afford spending on plural wives.

The evidence for this is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allaah enriches them of His Bounty”

[Surah Al-Noor 24:33]

In these verses Allaah commands the one who is able to get married but cannot afford it to remain chaste. One of the reasons for not be able to afford to get married is not having enough to pay the mahr (dowry) or not being able to spend on one’s wife. 

[Al-Mufassal fi Ahkaam al-Mar’ah, vol. 6, p. 286.]

Some of the scholars are of the view that plural marriage is better than restricting oneself to one wife. Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: Is the basic principle concerning marriage plural marriage or marriage to one wife? He replied: The basic principle in sharee’ah is plural marriage for those who can afford it, if there is no fear of injustice, because of the many interests that are served by that, such as keeping himself and those whom he marries chaste, kind treatment of them, producing lots of children and increasing the numbers of the ummah and the numbers of those who worship Allaah alone. This is indicated by the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):

“And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice”

[Surah An-Nisa’ 4:3]

And because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married more than one wife, and Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Indeed in the Messenger of Allaah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow”

[Surah Al-Ahzaab 33:21]

One of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “As for me, I will not eat meat,” and another said, “As for me I will pray and never sleep”; another said, “As for me I will fast and never break my fast,” and another said: “As for me, I will never marry women.” When news of that reached him, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) addressed the people. He praised Allaah then he said: “You are the ones who said such and such. As for me, by Allaah, I fear Allaah more than you do, but I fast and I break my fast, I pray and I sleep, and I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah has nothing to do with me.” These great words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) include both marriage to one woman and plural marriage.

[Majallat al-Balaagh, issue no. 1015; Fataawa ‘Ulama al-Balad al-Haraam, p. 386.]

Isn't it True that Islam is an Arab Religion?

This mistaken assumption is possibly based on the fact that prophet muhammad was an arab, that most of the first generation of muslims were arabs, and that the qur'an is in the arabic language.

But in actual fact, only about 18 percent of muslims in the world today are arabs. the largest muslim populations are found in indonesia, the indian sub-continent and other parts of asia. islam is also widespread in many parts of africa, and there are substantial minorities in europe, north and south america, and oceania. islam is the fastest growing major religion in the world, and its adherents on all continents include both arabs and non-arabs.

Further, not all Arabs are Muslims, for there are significant communities of christian Arabs as well as a number who belong to other religions or profess atheism. while "Arab" is a geographic and cultural term, "Muslim" refers to an adherent to the religion of Islam.

While the revelation was still in its early stages, the qur'an disclosed that islam is indeed a global religion. Allah addressed his prophet therein, saying:

"and we have not sent you but as a mercy to [all] the worlds." [1]

"and we have not sent you except comprehensively to mankind, as a bringer of good tidings and a warner, but most of the people do not know."  [2]

Islam is meant for all people regardless of race, nationality, cultural or religious background. from the commencement of his mission, the prophet's companions came from a wide range of lands and races. among them was an African, a byzantine, a Persian and a Jewish scholar. all were united in the brotherhood of faith.

There are many references in the qur'an to the universal nature of islam. it frequently addresses humanity, saying, "o mankind" or "o people." the prophet, his companions and their followers made every effort to spread the message of truth to all nations and peoples. he naturally began the propagation of god's message among his own people, the arabs, but that does not mean it was restricted to them - rather, only that initially conveying it to those nearest him was the logical first step toward the realization of a long-term goal. later in his mission when conditions became more favorable, he sent letters of invitation to islam to the rulers of the byzantine and persian empires, abyssinia, egypt, damascus, bahrain, yamamah, omanand others who represented the influential world figures of the day. whatever, their response to it, the prophet's message was fully acknowledged by the major powers of his time.

What is a Muslim?

A Muslim is someone who practices islam; that is, who willingly submits to the revealed directives of god. everything in the universe is inherently submissive to god, functioning according to the natural laws created by him. human beings are physically "muslim" in that their bodies function according to the genetic program set by god for the period of time he has decreed.

A ''Muslim" in the religious sense, however, is someone who consciously commits himself to the worship of god alone, not according to his own inclinations or those of other men but according to the method conveyed by god through his appointed prophets. the qur'an gives many examples of people who lived before Muhammad and believed in and obeyed the prophet that god had sent them. they entered paradise because of their obedience to god, and that is the meaning of "islam."

All the prophets of god, from adam to muhammad, and those who believed and followed each of them during the period of his prophethood [1] were called "muslims." but since prophet muhammad was the last of god's messengers to mankind, a "muslim" can now only be defined as one who accepts and complies with the final, completed message conveyed by god through him. for rationally, the most recently revised legislation always supersedes and invalidates whatever came before it

What is Islam?

"Islam" is an arabic word which means peaceful, willing submission - submission to the code of conduct ordained by god. so islam is a religion, but it is also a complete way of life based upon a voluntary relationship between an individual and his creator. it is the way of life ordained by god which was taught by each of his prophets and messengers. what distinguishes islam from other religions is that it refuses to accept any form of creation whatsoever as a deity worthy of worship. instead, it emphasizes the exclusive worship of the one god who created the entire universe and to whom all creation will eventually return.

Monotheism is the foundation of islam and its most important concept which cannot be compromised in any way. not only is god acknowledged as the sole creator and sustainer of everything in existence, but islam declares that he is the only true deity and he alone is worthy to be worshipped. further, it recognizes that the attributes of god are nothing like those of his creation and cannot be compared to it; he is absolute, perfect and unique.

Foreword

No one can deny that islam is very much in the spotlight today. in spite of extremely negative portrayals by  western media (or perhaps because of them), increasing numbers of people are seeking to find out more about it. and more often than not, they are being pleasantly surprised by the fruits of their research. in fact, more people are embracing

Islam today than they did prior to september 11, 2001.

However, there does remain a great deal of misconception and misunderstanding on the subject, frequently fueled by political policies which deem it in their interest to support islam's enemies. in addition, muslims themselves, at first shocked and confused by the events of recent years, did not really know how to respond to the challenge. now they have been rudely awakened to the urgency of refuting the many false claims and accusations being spread against their way of life and of defending the truth, and accordingly, the rights and honor of muslims everywhere on earth.

Islam is the religion and way of life of about one-fifth of the world's population. muslims are of diverse nationalities, cultures and races, but their religion teaches that all men are essentially equal and that no distinction should be made between them on the basis of such superficial differences as color, class status or personal beliefs as long as they remain peaceful and law-abiding citizens. the behavior of certain misguided groups or individuals outside the fold of mainstream islam cannot be attributed to the religion any more than violence in north ireland or mafia activities can be attributed to christianity.

People of secular cultures often fail to understand why practicing muslims cannot always fit in completely with modern westernized lifestyles, why they insist upon a particular type of dress, or upon prayer at particular times. they tend to perceive muslim attitudes as unnecessarily demanding and uncompromising. misunderstandings are frequently due to unmistakable differences between the western concept of religion and that of muslims. islam can indeed seem strange to a society in which religion no longer plays a major role in everyday life; but to a dedicated muslim, islam is life, and there is no division between the secular and the sacred.

Because religious practice occupies a narrow place in his outlook, the adherent to western culture often does not comprehend the relationship between a muslim and his religion or what motivates him to take a particular direction in life. but in the view of islam, religion is not merely a personal issue or something symbolic pertaining to a limited area of one's existence. on the contrary, it involves molding a balanced way of life suitable not only to muslims but to everyone who inclines toward peace, justice and respect for rights. more simply, it can be said to mean the pursuit of happiness, security and moral perfection. in the hearts of muslims their religion remains both a secure refuge and the most effective motivator for tackling all kinds of challenges. at the same time, it preserves the distinctive character of the muslim believer and the pattern of his particular culture.

An individual in the west might see religion within a limited context pertaining to worship alone - a private matter between a person and god. but in islam it is a dynamic system that organizes the progression of life according to basic general principles and flexible rulings that guarantee potential benefit from advancements in science and technology as well as new material facilities. since there is no conflict between islam and scientific research, every new discovery in the world of matter, energy, time and space only increases the believer in faith and humility towards him who devised, projected and systematized such a plan and then assigned to mankind his place and noble role within it. within this understanding it remains to be said that knowledgeable muslims are not in need of secularism since they have no problem with religion.

How do you know there is Life after Death?

We live in a world that demands logic and proof and is not content with only belief. someone might wonder how a rational, practical minded person could believe in life after death. people tend to assume that anyone who believes in the hereafter does so on the basis of blind faith. but in fact, belief in the hereafter is completely logical. and it is the only way the injustices of this world can be reconciled with a just and all- powerful creator.

We know that in addition to physical pleasures and comforts there are certain ideal conditions that human beings instinctively desire and strive to attain, such as love, respect, security and contentment. though many people are able to acquire a portion of these objectives here on earth, there remains one that is largely unobtainable - and that is justice. most people hold the conviction that life is not fair: that they have often been misunderstood or not appreciated, that in some way they have been harmed, cheated or oppressed. daily newscasts disclose the killing, torture, displacement and starvation of countless innocent people by powerful tyrants and nations, lives ruined by the vicious or careless acts of others or by natural disasters, and the poor and helpless being subjected to theft and deception. seldom is even partial justice ever restored. yet, every human being desires justice. even if he does not seek it for others, he certainly wants justice for himself.

So why has the creator instilled in man a longing for something he cannot experience in this world? the answer is that this life is only one portion of his existence and that the logical conclusion which restores the equilibrium found in all creation is in the hereafter. it is there that every person will be fully and precisely compensated for his good and evil deeds. this is the perfect and absolute justice which god has promised all people.

The present life is a trial in preparation for the next realm of existence. the explanation given by the qur'an about the necessity of life after death is what the moral consciousness of man demands. if there was no life after death, the belief in god would be meaningless, or it would be a belief in some kind of indifferent and negligent deity who, after having created the human race, is no longer concerned with its welfare.

But certainly, god is just. he will indeed punish the tyrants who have killed thousands and caused suffering to their families, corrupted institutions and societies, enslaved people and nations, robbed, deprived and plundered. and what about i hose who patiently endured so much injustice and hardship, suffered to uphold truth, saved lives or sacrificed in order to assist many people? what earthly compensations could possibly restore the balance for them?

This can only take place in an eternal life where every individual affected in the least by someone's actions will testify for or against him, and where the innermost thoughts and intentions, known completely to god, will be judged precisely and perfectly. since man's term of life in this world is limited and because numerous individuals are affected by one's actions, adequate rewards and punishments are impossible in the present life. the qur'an states categorically that the day of resurrection must come and that god will then decree the fate of each soul according to its record of deeds.

Additionally, god has stated in the qur'an that the present creation is in itself a clear proof that he is able to create and re-create as he wills, whatever he wills, however he wills and whenever he wills, for god originates and repeats creation with equal ease. consider these words revealed to his final prophet:

"say, 'travel through the land and observe how he began creation. then Allah  (الله سبحانه و تعالى) will produce the final creation.'' [1]

"did we fail in the first creation? but they are in confusion over a new creation."[2]

"is not he who created the heavens and the earth able to create the likes of them? yes, and he is the knowing creator.”[3]

"do they not see that allah, who created the heavens and earth and did not fail in their creation, is able to give life to the dead?" [4]

"does man not remember that we created him before, while he was nothing” [5]

"and you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?" [6]

"have they not considered how allah begins creation and then repeats it? indeed that, for allah, is easy." [7]

"and it is he who begins creation; then he repeats it, and that is easier for him." [8]

"as we began the first creation, we will repeat it. [that is] a promise binding upon us. indeed, we will do it." [9]

in fact, the material of creation is already in existence, merely to be developed once again at his command. observable evidence of this ongoing process is now being presented regularly by astronomers and specialists in other fields of modern science.

Ang Sinumang Tumalikod sa Islam ay Papalitan

يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَنْ يَرْتَدَّ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ يُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Sinabi ng Allaah - subhanahu wa ta'ala,

"O kayong mga nanampalataya, sinuman sa inyo ang tumalikod sa kanyang relihiyon ay papalitan sila ng Allah ng ibang tao na minamahal ng Allah at nagmamahal sa Kanya. Mahabagin sa mga mananampalataya at malupit sa Kuffar. Mga Nakikibaka sa Landas ng Allaah at Hndi Natatakot sa Paninisi ng mga Naninisi. Ito ang biyaya ng Allah na binibigay niya sa sinumang kanyang naisin. Tunay na ang Allah ay Mapagbigay at Pinakamaalam."

[Suratul Maidah: 58]

ANG KAHALINTULAD NG MAYBAHAY NA MATUWID

"Ang Matuwid na Babae dito sa Dunya (Mundo), Ibig sabihin ang Maybahay, Magiging Mas Mainam, Mainam ang amoy, at mas lalong kalugod lugod sa kanyang asawa kaysa sa Hoor Al 'Ayn (mga babae sa Jannah) sa Akhirah (Kabilang Buhay). Tunay na pinabatid sa atin ng Propeta  (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam) na ang unang grupo na papasok sa Jannah ay Kahalintulad ng Kabilugang Buwan na Maliwanag."

- Sheikh Muhammad bin Saalih Al Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah)

[http://www.ibnothaimeen.com/all/noor/article_1313.shtml]

DAWAH, GOOD MANNERS FIRST?

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful…

One of the great senior scholars of this era, Shaykh Saalih ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan(may Allaah preserve him), was asked:

Is this manner of da’wah (Islamic propagation) correct: One that begins by inviting the people to good manners at first?

The shaykh responded by saying:

No, this is misguidance, a contradiction to the da’wah of the Messengers. This is the call of the hizbees (bigoted sectarians) nowadays. It is a false da’wah, because it is contradictory to the methodology of the Messengers. What they (really) desire is that people remain upon their (various) beliefs, whether they are (the beliefs of) the Qubooriyyah (gravesite fanatics), idol-worship, or sufism. What is important (to them) is just to gather the people together, merely for the sake of following them (i.e. their group) exclusively.

Source: This Arabic recording.

IMPORTANT COMMENTARY:

1. When the Prophet (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) sent Mu’aath ibn Jabal (may Allaah be pleased with him) to Yemen, he told him:

إنك تقدم على قوم من أهل الكتاب، فليكن أول ما تدعوهم إلى أن يوحدوا الله تعالى، فإذا عرفوا ذلك، فأخبرهم أن الله قد فرض عليهم خمس صلوات في يومهم وليلتهم، فإذا صلوا، فأخبرهم أن الله افترض عليهم زكاة في أموالهم، تؤخذ من غنيهم فترد على فقيرهم، فإذا أقروا بذلك فخذ منهم، وتوق كرائم أموال الناس

“Verily, you are going to a people from Ahlul-Kitaab (i.e. the Jews and Christians), so let the first thing you invite them to be to worship Allaah alone. If they understand that (and accept it), then inform them that Allaah has ordained upon them five daily prayers. If they pray, then inform them that Allaah has ordained upon them the payment of zakaat from their wealth, taken from their rich and given back to their poor. If they agree to that, then take (zakaat) from them, but abstain from the people’s best (most expensive) belongings.”

 [Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]

From this and many other clear evidences, we learn that the focus and priority of theda’wah of the Prophet Muhammad (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) was totowheed. Other essential matters of the Religion were presented only after people accepttowheed.

This same methodology is also evident from the many Quraanic passages describing theda’wah of Allaah’s Prophets and Messengers. Refer to the book The Methodology of the Prophets in Calling to Allaah by Shaykh Rabee’ ibn Haadee for a more complete discussion of this important topic.

2. Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan, in the above fatwaa, is not saying that good manners inda’wah is not important, nor is he saying that calling the people to good manners is not from Islaamic da’wah. He is merely assisting the Ummah to redirect their focus and priority in giving da’wah back to its original theme – that Allaah has the sole right to be worshipped.

3. Many Muslims today incorrectly assume that, since manners are highly stressed in Islaam, we should make them our priority when giving da’wah. There is a difference between giving da’wah with good manners and beginning one’s da’wah by inviting to good manners.

4. Making good manners the focus and priority of da’wah causes us to resemble the Christians, whose great Prophet and Messenger called them to worship Allaah alone from his very first words after birth, announcing himself as a worshipper of Allaah alone! [Soorah Maryam, 19:30-36] However, you find modern Christians explaining their religion as merely good morals and manners. Not only have they taken towheed out of the priorities of their da’wah, they have removed it from the religion altogether! Muslims must be wise enough to learn from the mistakes of the people who came before us. We must not follow in their footsteps into the traps of Shaytaan.

5. Every Muslim is a daa’ee (caller, one who invites to Islaam), through his/her actions and behavior, and we are all required to implement Islaam properly in our lives and be good examples of Muslims. However, it is not correct to say that any Muslim knows enough to get involved in organized da’wah work and outreach programs. How often we see ignorant Muslims who wish to serve their Religion cause extensive harm and corruption in the name of da’wah! Knowledge must come before this kind of da’wah work. We must shun the corrupt form of ”do-it-yourself” da’wah, independent of the scholars of Islaam and their advice and direction.

And Allaah knows best.

Hasten to get of the Hereafter

Ali ibn Abi Talib (radhi Allaahu anhu):

"Goodness is not in your wealth and offspring being plentiful; true goodness is when your [good] deeds are plenty and you have great understanding and forbearance, and when you compete to worship your Lord.

If you do good you praise Allah and thank Him, and if you sin you beg Allah’s forgiveness. There is no good in this life except with two types of men: A man who sins but then corrects himself through repentance, and a man who strives and hastens to get [the good] of the hereafter."

[Ibn ‘Asakir, Al-Tawbah article 13]

"Ang Palatandaan sa Laylat Al-Qadr

Ang Unang Palatandaan:

Iniulat ni Ubayy ibn Ka’b na ipinahayag ng Propeta na ang isa sa kanyang palatandaan ay kung ang sikat ng araw sa sumunod na umaga ay walang makikitang sinag.

 [Muslim, ٧٦٢]

Ang Pangalawang Palatandaan:

Iniulat ni Ibn ‘Abbaas narrated mula kay Ibn Khuzaimah at sa musnad ni al-Tayaalisi na sinabi ng Propeta :

“Laylat al-Qadr ay isang kasiya-siyang gabi, ang kapaligiran ay katamtaman hindi mainit o malamig, at ang sumunod na araw, ang araw ay sisikat ng mapula at mahina.”

 [Saheeh Ibn Khuzaymah, ٢٩١٢; Musnad al-Tayaalisi]

Ang Pangatlong Palatandaan:

Iniulat ni al-Tabaraani na hasan ang isnaad mula sa hadith Waathilah ibn al-Asqa na sinabi ng Propeta :

“Laylat al-Qadr ay isang maliwaag na gabi, hindi mainit o malamig, na walang bulalakaw na makikita.” 

[Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer. See Majma’ al-Zawaa’id, ٣/١٧٩; Musnad Ahmad]

*Ito ang mga tatlong saheeh ahadeeth na nagpapaliwanag sa mga palatandaang nagpapatunay ng Laylat al-Qadr

              Hindi mahalaga sa isang nakasaksi ng Laylat al-Qadr na mapag-alaman na nasaksihan niya ito. Ang mahalaga nito ay ang matiyagang pagsusumikap at maging matapat sa pagsamba batid man o hindi ng iba na nasaksihan niya ang Laylat al-Qadr. Maaring ang ilan sa mga hindi nakababatid na nasaksihan nila ang Laylat al-Qadr ay nakahihigit sa mata ng Allah at nakatataas ang antas kung ihahambing sa mga taong nakababatid sa anong uri ng gabi ang nagdaan, sapagka’t matiyaga siyang nagsumikap.

Hilingin nating mula sa Allah na tanggapin an gating pag-aayuno at an gating panalangin sa gabi, at upang tulungan tayong maalaala Siya at pasalamatan Siya at sambahin Siya ng maayos. Nawa’y ipagkaloob ng Allah ang biyaya sa ating Propeta Muhammad .
