Except the married part..

I doubt that he'd be married sef..not with me still single..lol

RoyPCain: who is sweetnecta? i dont really know what to make of your post above. so i am just gonna leave the whole matter alone.

tbaba12345: Whatever the reasons for putting the clause. There is nothing wrong with it given the fact that polygyny is a choice not fard. The Job is a choice not fard. It is all within your hands. Linking it to the fall of the empire is ridiculous.

Read through the stories of the wives of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is normal for a woman to be jealous. So a man has to manage his home well. It is not a matter of faith that a woman does not want to share her husband. Let us not make it that.

It is however a matter of faith when a man fails to fulfill his obligations in a polygamous home because Allah require it from him.

AbdH:

Yes brother but I believe that there is something wrong with that clause if you view it through the Shariah or don't you think?

sCun: Today's imam must be good at radicalising people and turning them into terrorists.

Sagamite: On this basis, I will turn down the job.

"He must be married with a maximum of one wife who must be very pretty and beautiful (to ensure he doesn't look at other women)."

That would be the biggest haram in my religious life as an devout muslim

tbaba1234: Wow, shows how far we have fallen... Those were the days.

He must be married with a maximum of one wife who must be very pretty and beautiful (to ensure he doesn't look at other women).

nora544: That is from Turky, thsi is the search for an iman for Istambul which is a city in europa.

Istambul is with his living still closer to Europa than to arabian countries.

Istambul is the old christian city konstantinopel.

beejaay:

if anyone should make the above as one of the criteria for choosing imams/sultan/emirs today is people like u @op and all the moderators on this site that will call the person an unbeliever and someone who doesnt know or understand Quran and am damn sure fatwa will be place on the said person across the world.... the hypocrisy is everywhere

tpia@:
The turks took over the old eastern roman empire, but they did not abandon the cultural practices even though they became muslim.

The romans did not practice polygamy, same as the ancient greeks.

Also why the requirements for an imam included he must be educated, versed in latin, sciences and humanities, etc.

tpia@:



it depends on the culture and country.

turkey generally does not espouse polygamy.

nigeria does, because polygamy is part of the culture and the muslims who practice it do so as part of their deen.

some muslim countries also ban hijab, do you agree with that?

RoyPCain: this is a horrible advert especially its restriction of one wife. no wonder the kalifah office was lost on the turks.

if you enter Islam, enter it the whole heart. while i have read posts of the sisters complaining about not willing to share a husband, it shows that our faith needs to be strengthened a bit more. want for your sister all the good that you want for yourself. lets purify our heart from jealousy.

tbaba1234:

Untrue, most of the ottoman sultans had multiple wives.
