They reflect on the creation of the heavens and earth[3.191]

True how time can heal everything, including one's irrationality. Last night, I had come across an argument concerning polygamy in Islam. A topic like this opens a whole new can of worms, in which Muslims fail to compromise over how acceptable it is for a male to marry multiple women in modern times and conditions.

It really did disturb me to see brothers near my age suggesting this desire, and looking down on my presumption that it was lust overpowering their rationale.
So I went to bed that night thinking how Allah, the Almighty could permit an action that was so controversial. I woke up remembering a dream I had, which subhana'Allah has sincerely changed my perspective on polygamy.

After the dream I had, I came to realize that if one had to truly submit themselves to Allah subhana wa ta ala, one would not reject her spouse's consideration, but rather see how an action could be rewarding for not only her but her husband. If one was to marry and love them equally solely for the conditions provided in the Quran and hadith, then what is so wrong with this exception?

If one sincerely loves the Almighty, this passion for Allah would be present in her love for her spouse. She would place this love before all emotions and then consider how reasonble it was for her husband and self.
Allahu Alim.
(by the way, don't assume that I would agree to it based on this post. I'm only encouraging that we should consider what Allah has permitted in this life as a blessing as long as we do it for the right reasons)
