Lecture, Polygany

I just came back from that lecture I mentioned in my last post and it was simply inspiring and definitely thought provoking.  Maybe later I’ll post some of my notes or thoughts about the content.

 But for now, I just wanted to talk about a few things:

-This is not often but sometimes I hear or read about sisters who are excited and wanting to find a second wife for their husband.  I understand that it is something the Prophet saw practiced.  However, we all know that the wives of the Prophet saw had jealousy and they were not known(or perhaps maybe I don’t know?) to go out wanting to find the Prophet a new wife.  So the point I’m trying to make is that in our excitement to practice the sunnah, we may land ourselves into a situation that is known to be one that tests the patience of the parties involved to a higher degree than a monogamous marriage.  And we’re not supposed to go looking for tests.
