Put the glass down now

 Put the glass down now A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see; asked the students,’ How much do you think this glass weighs?’ ’50gms!’ …. ‘100gms!’ ……’125gms’ ……the students answered. ‘I really don’t know unless I weigh it,’ said the professor, ‘but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?’ ‘Nothing’ the students said. ‘Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour? ‘ the professor asked. ‘Your arm would begin to ache’ said one of the students. ‘You’re right, now what would happen if I held it for a day? ‘ ‘Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress; paralysis; have to go to hospital for sure!’ventured another student; all the students laughed. ‘Very good.

THE SICK LION. By Aesop

  A Lion had come to the end of his days and lay sick unto death at the mouth of his cave, gasping for breath. The animals, his subjects, came round him and drew nearer as he grew more and more helpless. When they saw him on the point of death they thought to themselves: "Now is the time to pay off old grudges."

"This is a double death," growled the Lion. Only cowards insult dying majesty الأسد المريض كان هناك أسد قد بلغ أيامه الأخيرة، فتمدد مريضاً مشرفاً على الموت عند مدخل كهفه يلفظ أنفاسه الأخيرة. اجتمعت حوله رعاياه من الحيوانات واقتربت منه بينما هو لا حول له ولا قوة. وعندما وجودوا أنه على وشك الموت قالوا لأنفسهم: "هذا هو وقت تصفية الضغائن". اقترب منه الخنزير البري وضربه بنابه؛ ثم جرحه الثور بقرنه؛ والأسد ...

However, in certain situations, a man is allowed to marry more than one wife, with the condition that he treats his wives with justice, and takes the decision with Taqwa or God Consciousness. The idea that Islam allows polygamy so that men could pursue lust and as an excuse to fulfill sensual desires is a far cry from what Islam actually wishes to achieve. Time and time again the question of polygamy in Islam is raised as a grave issue and a big hurdle to any serious discussions about Islam. The general idea is to ask: How can Islam claim that there is gender equality when it allows men to marry up to four wives? If men can have multiple wives, why are women also not allowed to marry more than one husband? Let us explore why Islam permits a man to have up to four wives. Polygamy is allowed, though not mandatory, as a remedial measure for certain situ...
