Let it be known to all:
Prophet Muhammad  was not the saviour of souls â that power belongs to Allah alone.
He was the Messenger, not the Forgiver.
He was the Warner, not the Judge.
Even his own uncle, Abu Talib, died on kufr â and the Prophet  couldnât save him.
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:285) makes it crystal clear:
âForgiveness and punishment is in the Hands of Allah. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills.â
Not even blood relations can override Allahâs justice.
Your father may be a disbeliever.
Your mother may follow another religion.
Your tribe, your family, your imam â
If they disobey Allah or commit shirk, their status means nothing.
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:286) declares:
âEveryone will get what they earned â whether good or evil.â
Allahâs law is mathematical, not emotional.
Thereâs no wasta (nepotism) with the Creator of the universe.
So donât be fooled by love for personality.
Donât be blinded by family pride.
Donât say, âHe was a good man,â
if he rejected Tawheed.
When it comes to Allahâs Law,
No Prophet, No Parent, No Peer can save you.
The Prophet  taught this very warning â and lived it.
He himself said:
âO Fatima, daughter of Muhammad! I cannot help you on the Day of Judgment. Ask me whatever you want in this world â but on that Day, only your deeds will matter.â
đĽ That is Islam. That is justice. That is truth.
Obey Allah alone, even if it means disobeying your culture, your father, or your feelings.
Because on the Day of Judgment â
You will stand alone.
And only your Tawheed will protect you.
This is a crucial point that reflects the divine wisdom behind the Prophet Muhammadâs  marriages. The Prophetâs  marriage life was not based on lust or worldly desires, but was a living blueprint for all mankind on how to care, protect, and honor women from all ages, backgrounds, and situations â especially widows, divorcees, and elderly women.
đ 1. Marriage to Khadijah (RA) â A Businesswoman Twice His Age
   â˘Â   She was 40, he was 25.
   â˘Â   She was a widow twice, older, and wealthy â yet the Prophet  chose her over young women.
   â˘Â   Their marriage was based on:
      â˘Â   Mutual respect, not lust.
      â˘Â   Intellectual companionship.
      â˘Â   Trust and faith â she was the first believer in Islam.
   â˘Â   He never married another woman while she was alive â despite societal norms.
đ 2. Most of His Wives Were Divorcees or Widows
Out of 11 wives:
   â˘Â   9 were either widows or divorced.
   â˘Â   He married them not for physical beauty, but to shelter, support, and elevate them in honor.
đš Examples:
â
Sawda bint Zamâa (RA)
   â˘Â   An elderly widow with no one to support her.
   â˘Â   The Prophet  married her after Khadijahâs death to care for her â not for beauty or wealth.
â
Umm Salamah (RA)
   â˘Â   A widowed mother â highly intelligent.
   â˘Â   The Prophet  comforted her after her husbandâs death and gave fatherhood and protection to her children.
â
Zaynab bint Khuzayma (RA)
   â˘Â   Known as âMother of the Poor.â
   â˘Â   A widow, married for less than a year before she passed away.
   â˘Â   The Prophet  married her to honor her service to the poor, not for physical gain.
â
Juwayriya bint al-Harith (RA)
   â˘Â   From a defeated tribe.
   â˘Â   Marriage to her led to the freeing of hundreds of captives, as her people embraced Islam.
đ 3. Marriage to Aisha (RA) â For Education, Preservation, and Transmission
   â˘Â   She was the only virgin among his wives.
   â˘Â   She became the greatest female scholar of Islam â narrating over 2,000 Hadiths.
   â˘Â   Her sharp memory, intellect, and youth were preserved so she could educate the future generations.
   â˘Â   Their marriage was based on:
      â˘Â   Knowledge transmission
      â˘Â   Spiritual training
      â˘Â   Long-term community benefit
â Note: This marriage was commanded by Allah in dreams and approved in the society of that time â where such marriages were normal and moral, not taboo. The modern hypersexualized lens is not a valid measure for Prophetic wisdom.
đ 4. He Took Care of Every Wife with Full Justice
   â˘Â   He divided his time, resources, attention fairly.
   â˘Â   Even when ill, he asked permission to stay at Aishaâs house â never abused authority.
   â˘Â   Never shouted, hit, or humiliated any wife.
   â˘Â   Always called his wives with beautiful names.
đĄ Why Four Marriages Are Allowed in Islam:
   â˘Â   Not for fun or luxury, but as a social responsibility:
      â˘Â   To protect women (divorcees, widows, orphans).
      â˘Â   To fulfill physical, emotional, and family duties responsibly.
      â˘Â   Itâs conditional on full justice and financial capability.
âMarry women of your choice, two, three, or four â but if you fear you cannot do justice, then marry only oneâŚâ
(Qurâan 4:3)
đ Conclusion:
đ The Prophet Muhammad  showed us that:
   â˘Â   A woman â of any age, any background, any condition â deserves care, love, financial support, and spiritual dignity.
   â˘Â   His life is proof that Islam came to elevate women, not use or abuse them.
đŁ Let the world know:
âThe Prophetâs  marriages were not romantic tales â they were divine policies to protect womanhood across time.â

The Prophet Muhammad âŚ
Was not any âHarryâ or âJerry.â
He was not guided by desire â
He was guided by Allah, the Creator of mankind.
The Qurâan says:
âHe does not speak from his own desire â it is only a revelation sent down.â
(Qurâan 53:3-4)
So every action of his â including marriage â
Was a divine command â
Not based on culture, not on lust,
But based on mercy and protection for the future of humanity.
Allah created the soul.
Allah knows when the heart begins to feel.
From age 6, 7, 8, boys and girls
Start developing curiosity, emotion, and desire.
Todayâs society hides these truths â
But exposes children to TikTok, Facebook, Instagram,
To nudity, seduction, temptation â
Without protection, without purpose.
The result?
Pregnancies at 9.
Illegal relationships at 10.
Abandoned babies in hospitalsâŚ
Dead newborns in garbage bins.
Is this freedom? Or destruction?
But the Prophet âs marriage was not for romance â it was for training.
That young girl grew to become the greatest teacher for the Ummah.
She became a scholar.
A guardian.
A mother of believers.
Because only Islam gave women that dignity.
Before Islam â girls were buried alive.
After Islam â girls became the foundations of families.
Islam doesnât follow desires â
It disciplines them.
It doesnât destroy society â
It protects it.
If you donât understand âLa ilaha illallah,â
Then even truth will look like a joke to you.
