If Muslim caliphs, generals, aristocrats had thousands of wives, how can Muslims take Islam seriously?

Answer 1

Good point

Answer 2

Muslim caliphs, generals and aristocrats had alot of wives to prevent adultery.
They mostly married women who were widows through the wars.
This is how much Islam condemns adultery
And another thing, marriage is Half of your Imaan (Faith)
They were helping the women to keep their Faith intact by marrying them.

Answer 3

Gee! One general with a thousand wives! Do not forget, King Solomon's wives totaled up there in numbers, too.

Really, your question has no logic to it, at all. What does the total number of wives have to do with a religion?

Answer 4

History has passed away it is the present that matters, according to Islam a man can only marry 4 times under the condition that he can treat all 4 of them equally.

Answer 5

So, How many wives did Solomon have. How can Christians take Judaism seriously (note that Judaism is the basis for Christianity)

Answer 6

OK.. MORE STUPID QUESTION....in Islam a man can marry up to 4 wives on one condition...he has to treat all of them equally in money, treating them, and taking care of their kids.
so YES thats how you can see that ISLAM is seariousle!!!

Answer 7

Sometimes things are over exagerated, misunderstood and abused. A man is only allowed to have four wives if he can afford them, and he has to treat them all equally.

Answer 8

for a prophet to be of God he must tell the future perfectly. that is the only way i could forsee any Muslims taking a leader seriously.
