Confusion about polygamy in bible

[slaveofAllah88]

:salam2:
i got this reference from many islamic website (Exodus 21:10)
and according to all islamic sites it says "a man can marry an infinite amount of women without any limits to how many he can marry"

but when i went online and i searched this chapter and verse i found this?

Exodus 21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

SO ???? now im lost wat is going on?

Assalamu Allaicomu dear brother.

Brother I am not sure am I wrong,I think you have already asked this question and many of brothers and sisters replyed you.

First of all brother we are not folowers of Bible,we are folowers of Allah Holy Words(Holy Quran),and Sunnah of our holy Prophet Mohammed s.a.w.s. SubhanAllah.
In the Holy Quran Allah subhan we teala sais:You can get marryed with those womens that are alowed for you,with two,with three,and with four,and if you are afraid that you will not be justice towerds them than only with one"(Surah An Nissa).This ayah is clear Allhamdulilalh and Allahs limits noone can breake Inshallah.
If we look better and if we use are wisdom and if we are thinking about our Holy religion Isalm it sais that Muslims must be modest so it means that for thier modesty and only servinfg to Allah it is enough that they marry with only one women,becasue their only role in this life is serving to Allah Almighty and marrying with more womens it would not be modesty.
If Allah alowed to man to get marryed with more than one women,it means the most four,it is becasue of that Muslim man can help to some sister Muslim sister if he has good financial state and not becasue of his personal interests.

We should always reamin modesty as much as we can.
The best example is our beloved Prophet Mohammed s.a.w.s.(peace be upon him) and his holy,modest,and blessed life.
In his early ages,when he was only 25 years old he can marryed with Khadiya8peace be upon her) whcih was 40 years and she was not so much beatiful.But still our Prophet mOhammed s.a.w.s decided for her,of his all piety and modesty SubahnAllah.

With all other wives Prophet Mohammed s.a.w.s did not get marryed becasue of his personal wishes and interest (Neuzubillah),but becasue he get order from Allah to do that and on taht way to spread Islam.

Our Prophet Mohammed s.a.w.s was the most modest persone and the best of all mainkinds SubahnAllah and he should be example for all Muslims Inshallah.


Can you give us brother the links of web sites where it writes "a man can marry an infinite amount of women without any limits to how many he can marry".

These are not Islamic websites brother,and you should stay away from the Inshallah.

May Allah bless you.

Salam.

Salaam,

The islamic website is wrong....this is the correct verse....

Exodus 21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

I checked my Christian roommates bible and cross referenced my Torah.

But we need to remember that the "Old testament" has been editted heavily throughout time and we are not seeing the pure, correct version no matter what. So you can't really use the bible to prove anything.

admins word:

Please be advised that I will not reply to you if your question is already answered on the site. It is your responsibility to research the Truth for yourself and to become a productive and reliable follower of Allah Almighty. I am sorry, but I don't have time to engage the (literally) hundreds that email me. I also shouldn't and wouldn't, anyway, even if I had the time. As a true Believer, you must take the noble Islamic propagation mission that this site and all of the other Islamic sites are dedicated for to the next level - by educating yourself thoroughly and fully - to enable yourself to properly and effectively engage both Muslims and non-Muslims alike on your own without relying on our persons (the writers of this site) or on any other Islamic web site's persons. It is time for you to go to the places and people that none of us (this site's authors and all of the other Islamic sites' authors) could reach and to spread Islam there all on your own. Then and only then we will gladly dedicate much of our time for you; at least this is the case with me personally. Until then, please do not waste your time in asking me questions. I sincerely hope that you understand. All encouraging emails are certainly welcomed. May Allah Almighty continue to bless you by continuing to lead you and keep you in Islam. Ameen. Please keep us in your Prayers.

brother Shaheerpak, don't get so caught up with what the bible says about polygamy or anything else from the bible. it will just confuse you; it has been confusing the christians and jews for centuries. i know that you are a good muslim that believes that al islam is the haqq. and that's all that you really need, dear brother. we muslims neither deny or approve of the bible because we acknowledge that there are words of ALLAH SWT in them and we also acknowledge that the words of men were added to it. subhanALLAH we know that the quran was revealed from ALLAH SWT in it's entirety and has been preserved from corruption.

What I know is that in the Bible there's no any verse giving limits on how many wifes a man can take, but it never states that you can marry as many as you like either. In fact, Islam is the only religion actually limiting this to 4 wifes..


Allah knows best.
