Peace be upon you...
You are trying to make fun of the best of all humans ... may God guide you to the right path...
But I will answer you...
First of all… prophet Muhammad was not the first prophet to have more than one wife
Prophets who had more than one wife are as mentioned in Bible and Torah:
=====================================================
(I'm not sure of the wives name but sure of their number)
1. Prophet Abraham:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3 wives (Sarah, Hagar, Caesura)
2. Prophet Jacob:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4 wives (Lea, Zelda, Rachael, Palma)
3. Prophet Moses:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4 wives (Safire, Gibshia, bint Kini, bint Hobab )
4. Prophet David:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
9 wives
5. Prophet Solomon:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
700 wives and 300 slaves
So multiple wives of prophets was not new or invented by prophet Muhammad…
And Prophet Muhammad PBUH ... was not married to 9 wives at the same time as everyone may think...
ِAnd he married 9 times ... But not all at the same time ... and he married each of them for a REASON.
I will list some of them because it will take a very long if I stated all of them.
Prophet's Wives:
##############
1. Lady Khadeeja:
==============
-His first wife
-was a widow
-was 40 and he was 25 when they got married
-was 65 and he was 50 when she died
-lived together for 25 years
-Never married again when she was alive
-The year she died called the Sorrow year ... because he loved her so much
2. Lady Sawda:
===========
-was a widow
-was 55 and he was 50 when they got married
-She and her late husband ran away from their Folks after they became Muslims … so after her husband died she couldn’t go back to them … and she had no one to support her after him
-people used to look down at widow women at these days… so he married her to break the rule
3. Lady Aaisha:
===========
-was 9 or 11 when he married her
-her father was his best friend Abu-Bakkr … and best friends at these days was like brothers so one doesn’t marry his best friend’s daughter as if he is her uncle … so he married her to break the rule too …
-people at these days used to marry girls at this age … so it was not weird or strange to marry her in this age … besides she was considered ready to get married … an adult by this age …
-Loved her the most
-was the only one who was virgin when they got married
-was alive for 48 years after the death of the prophet
-was the main reference for everyone in all religion’s matters after the death of the prophet… including her father and the prophet’s companions
4. Lady Hafsah:
===========
-Her father was Omar-bin-AlKahttab … his best friend after Abu-Bakkr …
-was a widow
-So he married her because of her father … who gave a lot to Islam .. to honor him
5. Lady Zienab bint Khouzaymah:
=========================
-was 60 and he was 55 when they got married
-was a widow… and she used to help the wounded
-when her husband died she had no one to help her or support her … so the prophet married her to give her shelter
-died two years after marrying the prophet
6. Lady Om-Salamh:
===============
-was 55 and he was over 50 when they got married
-was a widow with 4 orphans... 2 boys and 2 girls
-when the prophet knew about her he sent to her asking her to marry him … she refused and she said “I’m old and I’m a mother of orphans” … so he send to her telling her “I don’t care for your age and your children are mine”… so she accepted and they got married…
-He loved her children more than their true father
7. Lady Zienab bint Gahsh:
===================
-was the prophet’s cousin … grew up in his house till he married her to Zayd
-before adoption was forbidden he adopted one of his slaves whom he freed and called him “Zayd bin Muhammad” … but when adoption was prevented by verses that was sent to the prophet … people still deal with Zayd as the son of Muhammad … and the father doesn’t marry a woman who one day was the wife of his son and vice versa …
-So when Zayd married Zienab … she used to look down to him and tell him rough words because he used to be a slave … and he wanted to divorce her but the prophet asked him not to do … but one day she talked very rough to him that he divorced her…
- So God sent some verses in the Quran telling Muhammad that he must marry her to make people believe that he is not Zayd’s father
-The verses are:
33:37
“And (remember) when you said to him (zayd bin Harithah ; the freed-slave of the Prophet) on whom Allah has bestowed Grace (by guiding him to Islam) and you (O Muhammad too) have done favour (by manumitting him) "Keep your wife to yourself, and fear Allah." But you did hide in yourself (i.e. what Allah has already made known to you that He will give her to you in marriage) that which Allah will make manifest, you did fear the people (i.e., Muhammad married the divorced wife of his manumitted slave) whereas Allah had a better right that you should fear Him. So when Zaid had accomplished his desire from her (i.e. divorced her), We gave her to you in marriage, so that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the believers in respect of (the marriage of) the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have no desire to keep them (i.e. they have divorced them). And Allah's Command must be fulfilled.”

So as you see here ... he didn’t marry for sex ... he married them to protect them and to fulfill God's words…
I hope i could answer you with my best ... feel free to contact me if you wanted to ask about ANYTHING in Islam ... i'm a very reasonable person and a civilized one ... and will be more than happy to help you ...

Hello,
Firstly, I'd like to correct this: PBUH Muhammed. It's Prophet Muhammed [Peace Be Unto Him]. Understood?
He had many wives and they fell into two categories: (1) Those he married himself as wives and lovers; and (2) those widows he brought under his care to live with him.
The first category we have Khadijah, 1st wife. He didn't marry the 2nd wife until her demise. 2nd wife was Aisha, and he married just two others.
All those who fell into the second category ONLY lived under his care without any sexual relationship. He was very magnanimous and caring. The thought of being promiscuous or flirtatious should not be linked to him.
He is a Supermodel of virtue!

Hey brother, dont ask such questions on an open forum like this.
Prophet Muhammed was a man with ultimate control over his desires. He never married for the desire of sex. He married for political and other reasons that paved the way for the growth of Islam.
He had days fixed for each wife. It is not mandatory for him to have sex each day. As many of his wives account and testify that, he used to pray most of the time in the night. He used to sleep only for a while and then he used to engage in "Salah" (Prayers) and "Zikr" (Remembrance of ALLAH).

The prophet muhammed pbuh had many wives but not all of them were sexual relationships he took in women that had no financial means of supporting themselves etc...the prohpet pbuh devided his time between his wives equally so it was fair on them..as any rational person would do in his situation..

Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH ) was fair with all his wives, abd HE made it clear to all Muslims, to treat their wife/wives as best as they could.
As for you interest about His sex with His wives, well, Prophet Muhammad had much higher aim and target is to bring all people to the true religion and to live in peace and equality .
I do not blame you for such silly question, as your world is ONE TRACK Mind...thinking that life evolves only around sex. Even at our present time, marriage life dose not mean sex only. Sex for married people should come in such a way to express love and understanding.

of their time, opposing means you're element of a conspiracy to kill a make certain. And that became a mistake made by that lady, confiding to her husband whom she theory would conspire which include her. there have been many enemies that infiltrated the prophets camp. in reality,the prophet died an premature lack of life because of being food poisoned by one among his different halves communities.So, the killing became for a merely reason. there is an same authentic tale contained in the historic history of China. there became this princess,a daughter of the emperor,married to a properly time-honored military make certain. She then heard that her husband became conniving with some crew to assassinate the emperor.Her loved husband informed her this for political causes, increasing their area, and they be the rulers. wondered, the princess consulted depended on sages,the suggestion,"father and mom is like the trunk of a tree, the little ones its branches, reducing the trunk will damage each and each of the branches. As for spouses, it is type of a garment, it would properly get replaced compared to a make certain. So, the princess suggested the plan to the emperor and her husband became executed. would not you do a similar in the journey that your significant different confided to you that they are going to fly a jetliner and crash it on the white homestead or any inhabited places and they quite have the skill? choose the lesser evil,,,,

I dont know your intention behind asking such a question.
Rather you consult an Imaam, question it on a Q & A online islamic site than post it on a public forum.

All the Prophets except Jesus had many wives....Look at the Bible. The Bible even slanders Prophets of incest. May God protect us. We Muslims would never say that.

tell you what,, the muslim religion pays no respect to women, and little respect to life.
the koran is the word of a dying breed of venom, and its words contradict. Its words call for war, and hatrid.
