Hello all,
Number of his wives: 12
He left 10 when he died; khadija bintu khuwaylid ( first wife) and Zaynab bintu khuzayma were already dead.
The names of his wifes:
1-Khadija Bint Khuwaylid
2-Sawda Bint Zam'a
3-Aisha Bint Abu Bakr
4-Hafsa Bint Umar
5-Zaynab Bint Khuzayma
6-Umm Salama Hind Bint Umaya
7-Zaynab Bint Jahsh
8-Juwayria Bint Al Harith
9-Safiya Bint Huyay
10-Umm Habiba Ramla Bint Abi Sufyane
11-Marya Bint Simon the Egyptian
12-Maymouna Bint Al Harith
How many virgins? and how many were married before him?
Only one was virgin, Aisha ra. All the rest were married before him.
Were they arabs?
Yes, except one ; Lady Maria who were from egypt.
Was the polygamy of the prophet because of unlimited sexual desire?
1-The prophet from his childhood to 25 years was single
2- From 25 to 50 he married a women 15 years older than him Khadija ra, who married two men before him and had kids.
3- From 50 to 52 he pbuh didnt get married because he was sad on the death of his beloved.
4- From 52 to 60 the prophet married multiple wives for political, religious and social reasons which we will explain later.
Is it possible then , that his sexual desire suddenly aroused only at 52 years?
Is it possible for someone who loves to get married to stay 25 years in his youth ( The golden phase in regards of sexual desires ) with a non virgin older women who married two men before him, he stays with her without marrying another ?
Then stays 2 years without getting married because of loyalty to her.
Next, he married Lady Sawdda who were 80 years old, she was the first Muslim widow and he pbuh wanted to be an example for his companions, as he didnt start by asking them to marry her but married her himself.
On a side note before continuing ; many prophets before Muhammad peace be upon him had more than one wife ; such as Ibrahim pbuh, David and Salomon peace be upon them. ( This one is directed to christians and Jews)
Lets move now to the political, religious and social reasons behind Muhammad peace be upon him marriages:
First: Transmitting Islam and the call for it , with the most detailed way possible (such as the method of ablution, dealing with wifes manners and so forth ) wich requires people to enter his house to transmit the necessary details for the nation, so Allah azza wajjal wanted the prophet peace be upon him to marry Aisha ra while she was young so she can learn a lot from him, and she lived 42 years after his death teaching Islam to the whole Islamic world . But speaking about the knowledge of Aisha ra is too long ; she was the most knowledgable among the companions about obligations, additional acts and similar ( Fatima says; I may start another thread about her knowledge).
Also, the number of Hadeeths narrated by the wifes of the prophet peace be upon him is about 3000 hadeeths.
Regarding the fact that Aisha ra was young , then in the desertic nature of Madina, girls used to reach puberty very fast , ( Fatima says: An example would be a relative of mine while I live in a kinda balanced atmosphere, she was 10 when she got her menses and if you saw her you would say she has 15 years, ANd I live in Morroco not Saudi Arabia), also it was very common to marry young ladies not only among arabs, but also among Romes and Persians at that time.
Second: Reinforcing the relationship between the companions which leads to the unity of the Islamic nation, so the prophet peace be upon married Aisha ra the daughter of Abu Bakr ra , Hafsa the daughter of Umar ra, gave his two daughters to Uthman Ibn Afan ra, and the third one to Ali ra, May Allah be pleased with them all.
Third: Mercy for widows, since he married three of them ( Ladies Sawda, Umm Salama, and Umm Habiba may Allah be pleased with them)
Forth: The continuity of the Islamic Sharia, since the prophet peace be upon him used to marry them by himself: marrying widows, or mercy for those who converted to Islam when he married Safiya ra after her father converted too , which gave him a good position against the jews who envied him.
Fifth: The wish of Muhammad peace be upon him to reinforce his relations with other countries and tribes when he married Marya from Egypt , and when he married Juwayrya so that her tribe Banu Al Mustaliq convert since they were prisoners in the hands of Muslims and the story is well known.
The above is my translation of an arabic article, I may start later a thread about the knowledge of Aisha may Allah be pleased with her, as long as a thread regarding the mercy of the prophet peace be upon him and his manners toward his wives Inshallah.
Best regards.
