” فَانكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَىٰ وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ …”

 “Marry from the women whom you are pleased with; two, three or four…” [Quran 4:3]

Polygamy is among the most common topics by which the Western world continues to malign Islam. Sadly, many Muslims have succumbed to Western propaganda and have become open opponents of polygamy as well.

Consequently, it is time for Muslims to recognize and accept polygamy as a right confirmed by Allah without apologizing or hiding from its existence. In order to successfully defend Islam, Muslims must acquire in-depth knowledge about this subject; its laws, obligations, rules and so on. The question is, how will they do this?

Ilm Institute presents the course

Two, Three or Four

taught by Dr. Bilal Philips, co-author of the book “Polygamy in Islam

In this new Ilm Institute course, Dr. Bilal Philips will acquaint you with the rationale behind why Islam continues to permit polygamy when most countries in the world have outlawed it. The course will also focus on the rules and regulations governing polygamy for those wishing to understand it better as well as for those considering entering into it.

Backed by the verses of the Quran, authentic Hadeeths and the opinions of Islamic Scholars, join Dr. Bilal Philips as he sheds light on this crucial topic in order and see polygamy in a new light, in shaa Allah.

 

Note: We are not suggesting that polygamy become the lifestyle of every Muslim, nor that polygamous relationships are beds of roses. The main purpose of this course is to clarify Western misunderstandings about polygamy in Islam and to familiarize the participants of the course with the true concept of plural marriage in Islam.

 

Note: Dr. Bilal Philips courses are also offered as a bundle at Ilm Institute. The bundle can be purchased at a discounted price. Click here for more information.

  1. Good but not best

    5

    Actually the polygyny is a great subject to have available as a course, I enjoyed the course, but I dont know why I felt something was missing concerning that subject…However I learned alot. Jazakom Allah Kheir.
    Finally, I realised that there are troubles in the quizes correction system where there were many errors in correcting my correct answers…even in my final exam some of my answers are absolutely correct but still they are marked as wrong! Hence damage my final course grade…

    The quizzes need to be updated as many of the questions that I got negative marks on didn’t have a correct answer to follow. Otherwise, the course was beneficial and important for the sake of deen. May Allah make it easy for all of us and grant us the pleasure of seeing his face when he is pleased with us. Allahuma Ameen

  3. Very beneficial

    5

    Alhamd li Allah the Shaikh speaks from knowledge and experience. He puts various solutions to problems that might arise and gives different options that a man can choose from depending on his situation. The ending was very beneficial especially the part about the 3 phases the woman goes through when her husband marries a second. An essential course for every man thinking about polygyny or is already in one.

  4. Great insight!!

    5

    Really learnt much into the nature of male and female Alhamdullilah!!!
