While it’s normal for women to feel jealousy and to dislike to share their husbands, any woman (or man) who hates the act of polygyny in and of itself becomes a disbeliever.

Even worse are those women who label Muslim men who take on multiple wives via Halāl means as “cheaters under the guise of Islām”. Do you know the implications of such a grievous statement or belief? By default, such a label returns to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, the Sahābah, and most likely your Muslim great grandfather. لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله

Speaking of “standards”, you want to know what’s really the standard default in the Qur’ān when it comes to marriage? It’s that each man should have a minimum of two wives, because Allāh started with “two”, not one. And then He سبحانه وتعالى said that if a man fears injustice, then just one wife. [Mentioned by Shaykh Ahmad Jibrīl حفظه الله in an old audio lecture]

Polygyny is part of our Deen and tradition as Muslims. But #Feminism demonizes the act and paints those who engage in it as evil and corrupt people. The reality is, it’s actually in favor of women and society in general. But obviously, #Feminist aren’t looking out for the well-being of women, as they claim.

Yes, most women dislike to share their husbands and even the thought makes them jealous. This is normal, even the wives of the Messenger ﷺ felt jealousy. But a real believing women has more jealousy over her religion and the Sunnah of her Messenger ﷺ — including polygyny. She can’t stand to hear it being outlawed or badmouthed, because she knows it’s revelation from Allāh عز وجل, let alone to hate it or those who engage in it properly.

Remember the days when slander, insults, and mockery used to grieve your heart, and then thank Allāh that now they only bring a smile to your face.

For the Muwahhid, they are the unexpected companions in life that remain more loyally by his side than any friend.

When you sense their absence, recheck your path. Perhaps you’ve lost your way.

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ described the best of women as being who?

“Those who are kind to their young ones and who look after their husband's property.”

The Messenger ﷺ described the role of the woman in a family as what?

“A woman is a shepherdess in charge of her husband's house and children and she is responsible for them.”

The Messenger ﷺ eulogized his late wife, the best woman of this Ummah, Khadījah رضي الله عنها, for what?

Her support of him in his most difficult times and because: “From her I had children”

#Feminism has your priorities mixed up. You neglect that which Allāh made your responsibility to fulfill the responsibilities of corporations and men. Women can never properly fulfill this Amānah and right upon them if they’re encouraged to leave their homes and take up the responsibilities of the outside world. They cannot guard their husbands property when they are not present in the home, nor can they nurture and raise their children properly. This leads to destruction of homes and society at large, as we already see in the West.

The esteemed companion of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, Ibn Mas’ūd رضي الله عنه, said:

“Women are but an ‘Awrah (something private to be covered). A woman might leave her house without there being any problem with her, but the Shaytān seeks her out and says [to her], “You will not pass by anyone except that you will impress/please him.” A woman puts on her clothes and is asked where she is going, to which she replies, “To visit a sick person,” or “to attend a funeral”, or “to pray in the masjid”; but a woman never worships Allāh in the way she does when she worships Him in her house.”

If this is the case when leaving for good deeds, then what would be the case when she leaves for Harām (free-mixed work and school) & unnecessary reasons?

We remind all brothers and sisters using the Project Mawadah platform, and all those who intend to do so, that the website requires you to swear an oath by Allāh that the information you provide is correct.

Allāh سبحانه وتعالى says:

وَأَوْفُوا۟ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا عَـٰهَدتُّمْ وَلَا تَنقُضُوا۟ ٱلْأَيْمَـٰنَ بَعْدَ تَوْكِيدِهَا وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُمُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفِيلًا ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

And fulfill the covenant of Allāh when you have taken it, [O believers], and do not break oaths after their confirmation while you have made Allāh, over you, a security [i.e., witness]. Indeed, Allāh knows what you do. [An-Nahl]

Hardly anyone is ignorant about the severity and punishment of breaking oaths in Islām. We leave this Āyah as a reminder to everyone insha’Allah.

#Feminists are renowned for their allergy to accountability.

You attract what you are. But instead of taking a look at themselves and realizing that they, too, are trash, the feminist would rather take the easier route. That is, pointing fingers at the entire male gender and smearing every last one of them with the same label.

#Feminism produces corrupt, evil women. These women then attract corrupt, evil men. After wronging and oppressing one another and finally separating, the corrupt women get together and share their experiences. Then they put their empty heads together and decide that the issue must be the entire male gender, obviously. How could a woman ever be at fault???

The reality is, they were trash women, that dealt with and lived in the dumps. So they attracted trash men, because no righteous, decent man could ever even imagine looking their way. But the feminist doesn't believe in ever holding herself accountable, so she lives her life throwing the blame for her promiscuous and vile lifestyle on others, even if that means insulting her father and sons in the process.

May Allāh destroy this vile cult and those who ascribe to it and allege it is Islāmic. Every Prophet was a man. OUR Prophet ﷺ was a man. The companions who carried this Deen to the ends of the globe were men. The majority of 'Ulamā' who preserved and compiled the religion were men.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Many amongst men attained perfection but amongst women none attained the perfection except Maryam, the daughter of 'Imrān, and Āsiyah, the wife of Pharaoh."

With the rise of Feminism and the hoards of so-called "Muslim" women ascribing to it, it's not difficult to understand why women are so much less likely to achieve the rank of perfection than men. Are all men perfect? Not by any means. But blanket statements like this one includes the greatest men to have ever lived and is considered slander on even the best of them.

The Shaytān Seduces Slowly

First, she begins to leave her home often,

Then she becomes bold and begins to interact with Non-Mahram men on a daily,

Then, she begins to wear bright colored Jilbābs and Niqābs,

Then, her gloves are only an accessory for some occasions (she starts showing her hands),

Then, her Jilbāb slips back and she begins to reveal her forehead and eyebrows,

Then, she begins to style her outfits, matching her shoes/purses with the color of her garments,

The plain eyes aren’t satisfying to her anymore, so now she uses cosmetics to enhance them,

Then, the Jilbāb disappears and now its an Abāyah and a scarf,

Then, the Abāyah becomes flashy, adorned with laces and sequins,

Finally, the face is no longer hidden.

After this her style of dressing begins to resemble the women of the Kuffār, her interactions with Non-Mahram men become casual and even flirtatious, and leaving her home becomes a pastime for her to the point that she begins to loathe staying in.

Is this the way of a Muslim woman? Has she forgotten that Allāh says:

وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰ ۖ

“And stay (firmly) in your houses and to not display yourself like the display of the Jāhiliyyah before…”

Your Hijāb is not a fashion statement, sisters, nor is it an accessory that you do up in a way that looks nice. Its meant to be a COVERING for your accessories and adornment, so do not contradict it!

The moment you begin to think of how this color Jilbāb would match those shoes & bring out the color of your eyes, or that this purse goes well with that style, then be aware that this is the whispering of the Shaytān as he seeks to seduce you to go down his misguided path.

Your Hijāb should be simple and unadorned, and you should not leave your homes unless you have a necessity.

— Al-Qawāreer

ابْنَ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ:‏ ‏مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةٌ تَكُونُ مِثْلَ الْمُسْلِمِ، وَهْىَ النَّخْلَةُ.‏

Narrated by Ibn ‘Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is a tree among the trees which is similar to a Muslim (in goodness), and that is the date palm tree." [Bukhāri]

In multiple Ahādith, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ compared the believer to the date palm tree.

Shaykh Ahmad Mūsā Jibrīl حفظه الله provided some benefits explaining this analogy many years ago, saying:

The Prophet (ﷺ) compared a palm tree to believer.

1. One way it resembles is that it’s leaves are firm when it gets windy, like a believer’s faith in hardships.

2. Both need to nourishment to survive; water for the tree; Qur’ān and Sunnah for the believer.

3. A palm tree is a very firmly rooted in the Earth and that's the Īmān of the believer in his heart.

4. The tree does not live everywhere — some places with good fruit, some without fruit, some with sour fruit, like Īmān.

5. Healthy palm trees produce dates throughout the year, like the deeds of a believer going to Allāh.

6. Every single part of a palm tree is used and is useful in someway or another, like a believer.

7. Leaves of a palm tree don't fall, just like the supplication of the believer never goes unanswered!

8. Impurities around tree need to be maintained as it's growing, otherwise it dies — like Tawheed.
