    The Polygamy of the Prophet 3 Empty The Polygamy of the Prophet 3

    The eightth wife: Om-Habibah daughter of Abou-Sofyan; “the Prophet’s rescue for a Muslim woman in a crisis”:

    She is Om-Habibah named “Ramlah”, the daughter of Abou-Sofyan – the greatest polytheist in Makkah and the strongest antagonism to Muhammad (PBUH).

    She was the wife of Obaid-Allah son of Jahsh and they immigrated together as Muslims to Abyssinia. Abyssinia was the secure hideaway for Muslims escaping from the grip of the polytheists and their attack. Alnajashi the king of Abyssinia at that time, was taking care of them as he had a believing sense to welcome the fellows of the new Messenger who was preached by Jesus son of the virgin Mary – blessing are upon him from Allah. It was mentioned in the Quran :”And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: O children of Israel! I am the apostle of Allah sent to you confirming the law which came before me, and giving glad tidings of an apostle who will come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad.”(As Saf:6).



    But Om-Habibah faced a severe crisis among the immigrants to Abyssinia, when her husband left Islam and denounced himself as a Christian. It was a double distress, the first was leaving her father behind in Mekkah because of his enmity to Islam, and second when her husband betrayed his religion compact and became a Christian. And in addition to all that was her loneliness in another land than her father land, and being pregnant with her daughter that she named “ Habibah” later on.

    Such things could be more than the energy of a Muslim woman to bear alone; being examined in an angry father and an apostate husband.

    But the eyes of Allah and then the eyes of the Prophet supported her and facilitated the difficulties of what she faced in her immigration to Abyssinia. She became the mother of all Believers after being the mother of Habibah as she got married to the leader of Muslims Muhammad Pease be upon him.

    Alnajashi was the real supporter for all the immigrants in general and for Om Habibah especially when the Prophet sent a messenger from his side to ask him for Om Habibah’s hand.

    This engagement was the big rescue to Om-Habibah to start a new life with our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

    This engagement was a big slap on the head of Abou-Sofyan who commented on this marriage: "This man can't be defeated" as the Prophet is having victory after victory over the disbelievers of Makkah lead by of Abou-Sofyan.



    When Abou-Sofyan lastly became a Muslim and witnessed that no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, one of the companions told the Prophet that Abou-Sofyan likes to boast, and asked him to find a solution for his knot and his envy.

    The Prophet – May Allah's blessings and peace be upon him – said in his historical announcement in Makkah:

    Who ever enters my house will be secure.

    Who ever enters the holy house (the Kaaba) will be secure.

    Who ever enters the house of Abou-Sofyan will be secure.

    Islam conquered, and the people entered the religion of Allah in crowds.

    Om-Habibah or the mother of all believers was in great happiness by the victory of her husband and her father’s embracing of Islam.

    This is Om-Habibah who was surrounded by the prophecy rescue to safe her from her sorrows and make her live the best life ever in the house of the Prophet (PBUH)….



    The ninth wife: Maymouna daughter of Alhareth Alhelalyah; a widow who will be happy to get a husband

    The last wife of the Prophet – May Allah's satisfaction be upon all his wives. Her husband Abou-Rahm son of Abdelozza Alaamiry died and her her brother-in-law Alabbas married her to the Prophet– May Allah's blessings and peace be upon him. The prophet

    When she got the good omen of the engagement from the prophet, she jumped up of her donkey very happily to hear such news.

    The Holy Quran mentioned this as she was the one who wanted to marry the Prophet: “And any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the prophet, if the prophet wishes to wed her. This is only for you and not for the believers.” ( Al Ahzab:50)



    This was the Prophet’s last wife- may Allah’s blessing be upon them all

    Polygamy in Islam
    In Islam, polygamy is allowed for men, with the specific limitation that they can only have up to four wives at any one time, by considering first wife's wishes[citation needed]. The reason for allowing polygamy in Islam is high female population throughout the world. Holy Qur'an is the only religious book which says and encourages "marry only one, which is better". The Qur'an also states that men who choose this route must deal with their wives as fairly as possible, doing everything that they can to spend equal amounts of time and money on each one of them. If the husband cannot deal with his wives fairly, one is enough. Women on the other hand, are only allowed the one husband, although they are allowed to remarry after a divorce, unlike many other cultures further east. Although many Muslim countries still retain traditional Islamic law which permits polygamy, certain elements within some Muslim societies challenge its acceptability. For example, polygamy is prohibited by law in Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Tunisia and Turkey.

    Polygamy, and laws concerning polygamy, differ greatly throughout the Islamic world and form a very complex and diverse background from nation to nation. Whereas in some Muslim countries it may be fairly common, in most others it is often rare or non-existent. However, there are certain core fundamentals which are found in most Muslim countries where the practice occurs. According to traditional Islamic law, a man may take up to four wives, and each of those wives must have her own property, assets, and dowry. Usually the wives have little to no contact with each other and lead separate, individual lives in their own houses, and sometimes in different cities, though they all share the same husband. Muhammad, who had a monogamous marriage with Khadija for twenty five years till her death, married many of his wives because they were war widows who were left with nothing and took care of them. Thus, polygamy is an exception rather than the rule and is traditionally restricted to men who can manage things, and in some countries it is illegal for a man to marry multiple wives if he is unable to afford to take care of each of them properly.
