W-Salam Khala, Our inspiration is Allah and His Rasool (Sallallaho Alaihe Wassallam) and not stories because stories change and contradict. This is a matter in which Islam has given leeway so you can't encourage or discourage because it ends up with disastorus consequences like what happened on Sunniforum. Men have Nafs and your encouragement goes the wrong way. Sisters are weak and need support and many may think that the solution lies in this Silver Bullet cally Polygyny. We all know the condition of our men and their Islamic practise. This matter is Mubah and we should leave it to people's discretion and circumstances, Insha'Allah. Personally for me; If you do know a Sister who can read/write in English language can help me run my website, proof read articles, be copied on emails, WhatsApp etc , I will marry her because its faster, better, cheaper and more reliable solution :P

Some of these stories come from Islamophobe Tabloid newspapers so according to Qur'aan we cannot believe them. We should concentrate on Qur'aan and Sunnah and not stories. Problem with Stories is that there are hundreds of others which show bad experience. My father had 2 wives and all my Brothers and Sisters have had a wonderful experience but who cares?

Because there is wisdom in what God does in every aspect; please post the response as follows and let me know the feedback so we can contnue the discussion. Christian Attribution of Divinity to Jesus Christ: Christians were beginning to attribute divinity to Jesus Christ (thinking of him as divine OR son of a Divine). If God would have directly intervened in the process it would have reinforced the (false) belief in the eyes of Christians. God wants to save people from heresy so what did he do? He saved Jesus Christ but in the eyes of people he was crucified. So logical thinking would have been: Look he got captured by ordinary people and tortured Eventually he got crucified He couldn't save himself how could he be God. The fundamental argument of the Qur'aan is that Jesus Christ: Was born (miracously) but still had Childbirth He lived amongst people He ate, drank etc And he was captured, tortured and eventually (in the eyes of people) crucified He was most certainly NEITHER God NOR Son of God. All his attributes were Human. This still remains a very powerful argument until twisted by Paul and others with concoctated tails of resurrection. In the eyes of common sense and logic every ounce of divinity has been refuted and every ounce of humanity (reenforced). He was born, he lived, he was taught captured and then crucified (he was NOT divine). Do you see the point?
