Why did the Al-Quran say that you shall not commit adultry when Muhamad had 23 wives ?

Question

I also heard that the Koran had writen that you shall not kill,but Muhamad said kill the Christians & Jews "for Allah"?

Answer 1

because everything about most religions is pretty hipocritical, but most especially so in islam.

Answer 2

I would like to answer honestly to this question. The Al-Quran say that you shall not commit adultry. The meaning of adultry in the Quran is that one person can not leave with other women without being married. Muhammed was married officially with many wives and with them permission. In the Muslim religion, you can married with other but with the permission of the first wife and you are obliged to take care of them equally.

If you are married under the Muslim religion bases, so you can call it adultry. You can see what happen today in this world to those womens who are just enjoying the times with other mans. The results : children without names and without knowing even them father, the HIV, ect.....


2) Muhammed never said kill the Christian and Jews as you said. In the Quran, you can find it out that to be a beleiver in Allah you have to beleive first in all the Books (bible, ect...). It is the extremist peoples today interpretation of the Quran which is used to kill christians or others. Those extremists peoples are facing a war everywhere include in the Muslims Countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan ect...

So you have to make difference between the Quran and what the peoples are doing. This is a sacred book like the Bible and others.I hope this answer will help. Thanks

We can not nor should we judge other Cultures by our standards .
1) They have different standards that we may not understand and find acceptable in our Culture.
2)Their Culture allows a man to have more than one wife and that does not make him wrong because our Culture say one wife is enough.
3) But their Culture believes that it you have one or 23 wives the people should not commit adultery, which is still a good thing to believe in any Culture.
4) Both the Bible and the Koran states that Judge ye not unless ye be judge, which seems to me to be sound advice.
5) Who is the true judge that our Culture is correct and theirs are wrong we can't judge that with our limited and sometimes bigoted minds and the same goes for all different Cultures.
6) I have read both the Bible and the Koran and the Koran does not say kill Jews and Christians for Allah. Some fanatic may wish you to believe that but it is definitely not true.
7) Mankind is the same all over they are always changing things to suit their own needs.
8) What that means is mankind can not be trusted to maintain the truth. So what make you think that mankind can be trusted to be the judge anything.........
9) One more thing Both the Bible and the Koran state that mankind has the right to defend ourselves. from attacks from others. But all fanatics want you to believe that they have the right to attack, But when other fight back they are wrong. Now if I am sitting in my home and you start firing missiles at my home I have every right to fight back and to kick your butt. But no they are saying that yes I fired missiles at you but you are wrong to fight me Back now will someone please explain me why that does not make any sense to me.

Answer 4

Adultery is having sex with someone you are not married too, and cheating on your wife. He was not doing adulltry becuase it was still his wife he had sex with.

Muhamad never said "kill the chirstians and jews". They are called the "people of the book" becuase there religions were so similer to Islam. Later muslems migth have changed the words of the Koran to say they should kill people, but Muhamad never said that.

Answer 5

Actually, nowhere in the Koran does Mohammed tell anyone to kill Christians or Jews. He exhorts his followers to have tolerance for all religions. The entire concept of Holy War and xeno-extermination was forced to fit Islamic theology by later Islamic "scholars" with political agendas all their own

Answer 6

Read the Koran for yourself.......That way you don't have to sit through lies from "peace loving Muslims" who will try and tell you the Koran does not say these and many other horrible things.

If Hollywood wanted to make a block-buster hit of the summer horror film, all they'd have to do is make a movie scripted directly from the Koran. It might have an impact on their political opinions henceforth also.....

Answer 7

The Quran contains 114 Suras which are chapters. Each sura contains verses and are read as 12:72 which would mean sura ( chapter) 12 and verse 72. The Quran begins with the longest suras and ends with the shortest. There is no chronological order within the Quran.
The Quran completely contradicts the Bible, while Muslims say the Quran is only a continuation of sacred scripture. Thoses who go as far as to teach that Christianity and Islam are compatible either have absolutely no knowledge of the contents of the Quran. Our Bible teaches love, the Quran teaches hatred. Our Bible teaches there is only one way to Heaven by accepting Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior. The Quran states that those who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God are to be damned. The Bible teaches respect for all others, even your enemies while the Quran tells Muslims to kill their enemies as well as all unbelievers.( 9-11-01). When Muslims die, they go to Paradise where there is free wine and women for all ( what about the women who go to Paradise).
The Quran states that if a husband dies, the wife must wait 4 months and 10 days to remarry and if the wife dies the husband can take another wife but can't take the dowry of other wives and a breved husband cannot marry the daughters of the wives he has slept with; if he did not sleep with them he can marry them. The Quran states that if a believer accidently kills another believer, he must free a believing slave. And if he has no money, he is to fast for two months and God will forgive him. And the Quran states that an adulterer can only marry an adultress; an adultress can only marry an adulterer.
The Quran denies that mankind is born with a sin nature due to the fall of Adam and Eve. They claim Adam and Eve repented, therefore we have no need of a Savior to enter Heaven- we only need to insure our good deeds outweigh our bad. Christianity is rooted in salvation needed and granted only by accepting Jesus Christ into our heart as personal Lord and Savior as He died and rose from the dead serving as the only perfect sin sacrifice for mankind. This fact alone separates Christianity and Islam as much as the distance between Heaven and Hell.
About 600 years following the birth of Christ, a man named Muhammand developed specail visions, claiming they had come from Allah, the Muslm God. Prior to this, Allah had been worshiped as a Pagan Moon God. Muhammand had 16-18 wives including two sex slaves; one wife was 8-9 years old.
Today far too many people are willing to compromise God's Word. God Almighty did not compromise when He provided salvation ( eternal life ) to all who would believe on and accept His Son Jesus Christ who died for our sins on the cross of Calvary, nor will He accept any distortion of His word. The Word of God was directed by Him only, " All scriptures is given by inspiration of God" ( 11 Timothy 3:16). The Quran was written by Mohammand. Regarding this fact, the Bible states, " Let God be true, but every man a liar". ( Revelations 3:4).

Answer 8

Prophet Muhammad (May ALLAH ALMIGHTY Exalt His Mention) Married Life

up to age 25, ceibate

25-54, married to one woman, who died when he was 50

54-60, multiple wives - after 60, no new wives

note: he only married women, besides his first wife, for one of two reasons...

1) he married widows of slain warriors. (he once married 3 opposition widows)

2) to make alliances w/opposing tribes

Muslims are often accused of being promiscuous because polygamy is legal in Islam.

Islam did not introduce polygamy. Unrestricted polygamy was practiced in most human societies throughout the world in every age. Islam regulated polygamy by limiting the number of wives and establishing responsibility in its practice.

Monogamy of the West inherited from Greece and Rome where men were restricted by law to one wife but were free to have as many mistresses among the majority slave population as they wished. In the West today, most married men have extramarital relations with mistresses, girlfriends and prostitutes. Consequently the Western claim to monogamy is false.

Monogamy illogical. If a man wishes to have a second wife whom he takes care of and whose children carry his name and he provides for he is considered a criminal, bigamist, who may be sentenced to years in jail. However, if he has numerous mistresses and illegitimate children his relation is considered legal.

Answer 9

Because he had 23 wives. Adultery means sexual activity with someone outside of your marriage bond. So if he had 23 wives and had sex with just those 23, I suppose it's ok as long as the Al-Quaran doesn't state anything about polygamy.

Answer 10

good question. heck, excellent question. i guess it's not technically adultery when you can marry all the women you want to sleep with. and maybe it's thou shall not kill fellow muslims.

Answer 11
