| Comparison The way of Jesus Christ (Peace be upon him) Following the earlier Prophets and Fulfilling their Laws.
23. Polygamy Polygamous marriages occurred among the Prophets before Jesus (Peace be upon him). Abraham (Peace be upon him) had three wives: (Genesis. 25:1) and concubines: (Genesis. 25:6).
Jacob (Peace be upon him) had 2 wives and 2 concubines: (Genesis 30:3,9). Moses (Peace be upon him) had two wives: (Exodus 2:21), (Exodus 18:1-6), (Numbers 12:1).
David (Peace be upon him) had eight wives who were named in the Bible, but there were numerous other wives that were not named and more than ten concubines: (1 Chronicles 3:1-9), (2 Samuel 15:16), (2 Samuel 16:21-22), (2 Samuel 20:3).
Solomon (Peace be upon him) had 700 wives, princesses and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:3).
Jesus never opposed or discussed the issue of the decreasing the number of wives and concubines. Jesus (Peace be upon him) followed and fulfilled this law. According to Father Eugene Hillman that the Church in Rome banned polygamy in order to conform to Greco-Roman culture which prescribed only one legal wife while tolerating concubinage and prostitution. (Polygamy Reconsidered, p:140).
Christians' way Many Christians make a great show of monogamy, but actually they practice polygamy, such as mistresses. It is now very usual to find in the Christian societies sexual relations outside of marriage, unlawful secret relationships & adultery.
The problem of the unbalanced sex ratios becomes a problem at times of war. polygamy continues to be a viable solution to some of the social ills of modern societies. Christians do not follow the law fulfilled by Jesus.
Muslims' way Islam has permitted polygamy as a solution to social ills and has allowed a certain degree of latitude to human nature but only within the strictly defined framework of the law, (maximum of four wives at one time) and stipulated the maintenance of justice as a basic condition for polygamy.
The Noble Qur'an (4: 3).
Was Jesus (Peace be upon him) a Christian? Was Jesus (Peace be upon him) a Muslim? Yes |
