Now, lets answer the main
and very important
question: Was it lust thatcaused the prophet to have
so many marriages?
8/7/2019 The Phrophet's Wives
14/29
To answer the question we
have to mention thefollowing facts:
8/7/2019 The Phrophet's Wives
15/29
1. The Prophet married for the
first time when he was 25 years old.Too old for someone who is drivenby lust.
8/7/2019 The Phrophet's Wives
16/29
2- The first woman he married,Khadijah was 40 years old, alreadymarried twice before him and had
children. He stayed married to heralone for 25 years, until she died. Hestayed single after her death for two
years in grief and mourning over herdeath. He was then 52 years old.
8/7/2019 The Phrophet's Wives
17/29
3- From 52 till 60, he married severaltimes for political and social reasons.After two years of living single , he
married Sawdah, an 80 year oldwidow in order to honor her becauseshe was the first widow in Islam. Not
an act of a lustful man after a longperiod of single life.
8/7/2019 The Phrophet's Wives

.. 52Its not logical to say that lust
had appeared suddenly at the
Prophets life at 52, and at
the middle of the fiercephysical and psychological
struggle to spread Islam.

There is only one conclusion we can
extract from the above:
1- Mohammad the man married Khadijah2- Mohammad the Prophet married therest of his wives.

But , was Mohammad theonly Prophet to havemultiple wives? Or
polygamy was taken byother Prophets as well?

!
The answer is : NO. Polygamy
was the norm at the times of
Ibrahim, Dawoud, Solayman,
all known in the Bible to
have been polygamists.

Now, lets mention thepolitical, social and religious
reasons why did the prophethad these marriages.

42 ..
First: To spread the culture through eyewitnesses with all thedetails known only to intimate people. Aaishah , being so
young, was able to tell all those details to the Muslims for
more than 42 years. She had seen and learned so much fromhim. Her young age was a great advantage in this respect.
She could tell what the Prophet used to do or say in all
aspects of life, so that people do and say the same in the
same situations.

Aaishah , was the most knowledgeable personwhen it comes to the daily life of the Muslim
and how it should go as was lived by theProphet himself . But how come he married her
when she was only nine years old? The desertclimate answers to that . In such environmentGirls reached menstruation very young. Notonly in Arabia, but also in Roma and Persia,
girls were married that young.

Second: To strengthen the relationships with hiscompanions, he married Abi Bakrs daughter andOmar's sister. Married his daughters to Othman and
Ali. May God be pleased with them all.

Third: Out of mercy and rewarding to the earlyMuslim widows and divorcees he gave them the
honor of marrying them himself.(Husbands either died in battles or were nonMuslims who divorced them).
Sawdah, Om-salama & Habeebah were widows.

Fourth: The Prophet was being a role modelfor the Muslims being kind to the widows andto the people of the book who newly embraced
Islam. He married Safiyah after her father, aJew, embraced Islam , so giving him and hisdaughter the honor among his people.

Fifth: He wanted to have ties and links with thedifferent nations of the world. When hemarried Mariya, all Egyptians were on his side,
and when he married Gowayriyah, all herpeople (they were called the Bani Almustalaq
and were captured by the Muslims after abattle),, they all embraced Islam.
