Prophet muhomad saab have 22 wives i read this on http://www.bible.ca/islam/islam-myths-muhammad-sinless-4-wives.htm
What is this can you please explain it ???
1. The Quran condemns more than 4 wives in Q4:3.
2. Muhammad was sinless.
3. Therefore Muhammad did not have more than four wives, (Because Muhammad was sinless.)
However, the facts of history cannot be changed. Informed Muslims like Muslim scholar and statesman Ali Dashti gives the following list of the women in Muhammad's life:
Muhammad’s 22 Women:
==Muhammad’s 16 Wives:==
1. Khadija

9. Safiya
10. Maymuna (of Hareth)
11. Fatema
12. Hend
13. Asma (of Saba)
14. Zaynab (of Khozayma)
15. Habla
16. Asma (of Noman)
==Muhammad’s 2 concubines/slaves:==
1. Mary (the Christian)
2. Rayhana
Muhammad’s 4 devoted followers who who "gave" themselves to satisfy Muhammad's sexual desires.
1. Omm Sharik
2. Maymuna
3. Zaynab (a third one)

A very humble and sincere advice:
Learn first basic Religion and then try to explore details.
Without learning basics like a.b.c.d.... and Grammar you can not expect some one to learn High end English literature.
Just for information as starting point Prophets acts according to direct command of The God Almighty.
Prophet Abraham, had recorded more then two wives,
Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon), had about 1000 wives,
( 2 Samuel 5:13 "He (Solomon) had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines...")
and list is long. I refer two just to tickle your brain.
Peace:)

If I were you I wouldn't trust a Christian site to give you details about a religion they are against. It doesn't even mention the source for its claims. One of the books I own "The Greatest of Creation by fisabillilah org" lists all the wives (RA) the Prophet (SAW) had - 14 in total. The Prophet was not married to all of them at the same time, but if I remember correctly the most he ever had at one time was 9.
1. Khadijah (died before he married any other women - he stayed with her till she died, she was older than him by 15 years, and he married again a number of years after she passed away).
2. Sawdah
3. Aiesha
4. Hafsa
5. Zaynab bint khuzayma)
6. Umma Salamah (aka Hind)
7. zaynab bint Jahash
8. Jowayriyah
9. Umm Habibah
10. Safiyyah
11. Maymunah
12. Mariyah
13. Rayhana
14. Nafisah
The Prophet wasn't a sex-crazed man as that website makes him out to be. He was calm and conserved, and was very patient. He married so many women to support them. A lot of them were older than he was by many years, they were widows, poor women who couldn't support themselves and would have perished had he not saved them. And none of the wives ever complained about this. There is actually nothing wrong with having lots of wives as Prophet Solomon (PBUH) is said to have had hundreds!
The limit of 4 set down in the Quran came to the people and the Prophet was exempt from this law as the Quran states in 33:50+ so there is no contradiction. The Prophet had a different situation and the law that came down for his specific situation was suitable. The Prophet was not permitted to marry any more wives after this, so technically the Prophet was limited just like the other people.
Polygamy was normal then, and a great number of Prophets practiced it. It is not sinful in any way. You should be more worried about the bible claiming Solomon committed Adultery!

- Khadija was his only wife until she died.
- there were only two Zaenab not three. the third Zainab was his daugther (from Khadijah, sister of Fatema).
- Mariya (mary the christian) was his wife too, not his slave anymore.
- there was only one Maymuna and she's his wife.
- Fatema was his daughter, but she took care of him in the end of his life, so Fatema has been called Ummu Abiha (mother of the Dad).
- here the wives of Prophet Muhammad after death of Sitti Khadijah. (randomize) Aisha, Maymuna, Mariya, Hafsa, Zainab, Zainab, Ummu Salamah, Ummu habibah, Saudah, Juwairiyah and Shafiya.
(from the eleven of them, only Aisha who's still virgin when mary the Prophet. the others are a widow, even Sitti Khadijah, she's a widow too)
sorry if I loose something, I'm not a perfect person anyway.
p.s.
in Q.S. 4:3 just 4 wives?
because there's no men like the Prophet. no men as fair as the Prophet on his wives. God just help men because God know their capacities. God let men have more than a wife as long as they can be fair to all of their wives, and it's really really hard to do. it's not easy to be fair.

Prophet Muhammed (p.b.u.h) was a very pure soul n he never did anything against ALLAH's order...each n everythings he did ws from GOD's....n many things that he did was for telling ppl to follow such things...n none of the wives except Aisha rali was unmarried....thy wer all very older to him as well except Aisha rali...the QURAN forbids marriage to more than 4 wives bt before that verse it says....u will not be able to handle theses 4 ladies the same way....n even if a wife gets more (even a thread) he wil be questioned...there are many sites on the internet that tells less abt islam n more of thier own words n terrorism...i wud suggest ppl not to go to islamic site online..its better to ask questions to scholars n aalims...

where do you get the history of Prophet Muhammad? I don't think what you typed here is true...because Muhammad didn't have concubines! But I know he had so many wives!

Your reference is quite wrong.Along his life Muhammad pbuh had only 9 wives including Siti Hadijah the first wife.During 13 years since he got married with Siti Hadijah he had only one wife.When Hadijah died after that he married more than one wife..His devoted friends/followers were only Abu Bakar gave his daughter Aisha and Umar bin Chattab gave him his daughter Habibah.So after Hadijah died Muhammad pbuh had only 8 wives.His young wives were only Aisha,Habibah and Zainab.Zainab married with him was a widow of his adopted son Said.Allah the only one God instructed him to get married with her in order to give an example that adopted son was not the same with his own son.The other 5 wives were old .He married to them for helping their orphans and avoiding fitnah or slander.So he married some women based on taking responsibility of other families whose husbands died in the war.(Uhud war).His marriage to those women was not based on lust or desire.Your list is wrong.He did not take his women slaves as his wives.He freed them. Muhammad pbuh as a prophet had no sins and was excepted from the rule that muslim man can only has the maximum 4 wives.He acted fairly to all of his wives and he got permission for marrying other woman by his wife
/wives .In the holy Qur'an God spoke that there is no one can give fairness and justice to all of his wives so God spoke it is better one wife only.

Hmmm...
Seems like people are so good at adding things that don't exist!
Maybe if I wait a little bit more the number will rise to 40.
~sarcastically~
Take my advice, and start learning from reliable sources... other then that you'll find yourself going into circles with all the lies that are posted about all religions, not only Islam.
Peace.

I am not sure of the number. I believe its not correct. I believe the correct number is 9.
Your argument is not valid.
Because some rules don't apply to the prophet. For example, prayer between asir and maghrib is forbidden for all Muslims, but not for the prophet.

specific Mohamed replaced right into a pedophile, among different issues. How can every person logical man or woman stick to this guy, is purely ludicrous. i won't have faith that the muslims understand this approximately Mohamed and nevertheless stick to his teachings! there are various people who're turning faraway from Islam time-honored and all worldwide. Hallelujah. you won't pay attention approximately it a lot, because of the fact they must accomplish that in secret or be killed by different muslims, in particular the father or eldest brother. specific all different gods, at the same time with moon god and solar god are pretend. i think the only thank you to Almighty God is thru Jesus Christ, the sparkling, unblemished, sacrifical lamb of God, who took away the sins of the international. as quickly as we settle for Jesus, we are able to have our sins washed away by the religious blood of Jesus, as quickly as we particularly repent and dont't bypass decrease back to doing the sins lower back.

Why was Moses a murderer and still a prophet?
Why would Jesus kiss the Mary makdalene "UPON THE ___ (mouth) and still be sinless?
Bythe way you got the number wrong. Your source of info is incorrect.
