Islam does not permit having four wives unless you can ensure justice among them. The allowance for more than one wife comes with strict conditions: fairness in treatment, along with physical and financial capability. Polygamy, often misunderstood in modern discourse, is a practice in Islam governed by strict conditions. It is not simply a free license for men to marry multiple women, but rather a structured option available only under the condition of fairness and justice.

  When we think about modern technology, particularly the internet, names like Alan Turing, Tim Berners-Lee, or companies like Google often come to mind. While these innovators played crucial roles in the development of the internet as we know it, they built upon centuries of accumulated knowledge, much of which was preserved, expanded, and passed down through the work of Muslim scholars. Islamic scholars played a vital role in shaping the modern world by gathering and developing scientific knowledge. They may not have been the first to discover every scientific idea, but their immense contributions were pivotal in bringing science from ancient civilizations to medieval Europe, where it flourished further, eventually giving rise to the technologies we enjoy today. Here’s a look at how the Muslim world helped lay the foundation for technologies like the internet.

Islam elevates the status of women, placing them in a position of respect, honor, and dignity. To understand this better, we need to examine the historical context—how women were treated before Islam during the pre-Islamic era, and how Islam brought about a profound transformation. The Status of Women Before Islam: The Age of Ignorance Before the arrival of Islam, women were subjected to severe oppression and injustice, especially in the Arabian Peninsula. The pre-Islamic society, also known as the "Jahiliyyah" (the Age of Ignorance), treated women as property and commodities to be traded, sold, and inherited. Here are some of the conditions women faced: Women as Property : In pre-Islamic Arabia, women were viewed as mere objects. They were considered the property of their male guardians, similar to livestock or other material poss...
