was it lust that caused the prophet to have many wives???
i will not defent or speak as a fervent or fanatic muslim that blindly defent her prophet without thinking
but rather i will just give you points and ask you to think neutrally about them
first of all, when we come to judge something in the past with our mind of today
we have to put in mind the difference in the circumstances and the social conditions between past and present
we have to ask a very important question was it unconventional at that time for a man to have many wives???
wasnt it mentioned in the others holy books that other prophets had so many wives??
Further more, we know that during the time of prophet Muhammed PBUH there was a great attack from the people of Quraish against him, so if it was unusual for him to marry many wives, why didn't they avail the opportunity to attack him???
Now let's turn back to our main concern which is the idea of lust .
firstly, the prophet got married for the first time when he was 25 years old. while young men usually married starting from the age of 18 , so he was too old for someone who is driven by lust.
secondly, the first woman he ever married was khadija, a 40 years old woman who had already married twice before him and had children.
He stayed with her for 25 years old without marrying any other woman while it was the norm then to marry again and again
and after her death he stayed unmarried for two years till he was 52 years .
So its illogical to say that lust appeared suddenly in his life at the age of 52, and in the middle of the fierce physical and psychological struggle to spread Islam.
These are only some of the logical reasons why this idea about prophet Muhammed PBUH can never be true, not only because we believe in this but also because its illogical.
