Atheist Questions A Muslim On The Number Of Wives Allowed In Islam! Muhammed Ali

Muhammed Ali explains that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) had exceptional permissions as a messenger of God, including having more than four wives. He contextualizes this by describing the heavy religious obligations the Prophet bore—constant night prayers, extended fasting, and voluntary worship—showing these were not conveniences but divine requirements. Muhammed emphasizes that most of the Prophet's marriages were to widows or divorcées for political alliance-building (such as uniting tribes, including the Jewish tribe through Safiyyah) or social welfare, and that Islam uniquely restricts polygamy to four wives (with the condition of justice), whereas other scriptures place no such limit.
