From www.answering-christianity.com/muta_forbidden_with_shias.htm:

  

1-  Careless divorce will bring sin upon you:

Marriage with the intention of divorce (just for only sexual enjoyment) is forbidden in the Glorious Quran.  Allah Almighty said that careless and irresponsible divorce will bring sin upon you:

"You bear no sin if you divorce your wives AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOT (ma-lam مالم) had a sexual contact with them, ....  (The Noble Quran, 2:236)"

If the marriage has not been consummated yet (no sexual intercourse yet; still in a fiancée-like relationship but through a legal and legit marriage), then the couple can break up; divorce.  But after sexual intercourse is done between the bride and groom, they are now a husband and wife.  So while they are still a bride and groom, they can divorce without issue.

  

Muta marriage was a temporary marriage that destined for divorce, which Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is said to have allowed for Muslim men who fought in battles in distant lands.  They were allowed to marry women there temporarily.  Allah Almighty has thoroughly prohibited all forms of temporary marriages, and has stressed the holiness of permanent marriage in the Glorious Quran.

Was it legalized prostitution?  Was it a form of pimping women and men for just sex?  Absolutely not, because even with the Muta marriage, there was still the requirement of at least two witnesses testifying that the couple have married (announcing the marriage publiclyprotects everyone.  Ex: Married women are not approached by other men as single women, and pregnant women are known to be pregnant wives, not pregnant harlots), the dowry payment upon the husband, and Muslim women still had to go through the Idda period after the divorce.  So it was a legitimate full marriage but with the exception that it was destined for planned divorce (i.e., termination).  Allah Almighty ultimately forbade intentional non-permanent marriages. 

Again, here is what Allah Almighty Said regarding divorce in the Noble Quran.  It almost always brings sin upon the regular married folks.  However, if a man is engaged with a woman, and they had a marriage contract already done, with dowry payment, witnesses and announcing to all people in their community that they got married, but they have not yet consummated the marriage through sexual intercourse, then there is no sin upon them if they divorce, as long as they have not consummated the marriage:

2:236 لاجناح عليكم ان طلقتم النساء مالم تمسوهن او تفرضوا لهن فريضة ومتعوهن على الموسع قدره وعلى المقتر قدره متاعا بالمعروف حقا على المحسنين

"You bear no sin if you divorce your wives AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOT (ma-lam مالم) had a sexual contact with them تمسوهن, and before settling (the amount of) the nuptial premium (for them). Yet, you should make provisions for them (even then); the affluent in keeping with his means, and the poor according to what he can afford. A fair provision is an obligation upon the pious.  (The Noble Quran, 2:236)"

  

Ma-lam مالم in Arabic means "as long as you have not," which makes it a condition and a Law.  The meaning of the word مالم as "as long as you have not" is very well-known in Arabic and the translation is also proven by ample English translations of this Noble Verse.  So irresponsible divorce after the consummation of marriage (after sex) will bring sin upon the irresponsible and guilty one(s).  The Noble Verse is crystal-clear about this.

  

2-  The solemn holiness of marriage (ميثاقا غليظا):

Also, the covenant of marriage in the Glorious Quran Is a Mighty and Solemn Covenant ميثاقا غليظا (mee-thaa-qan gha-leetha).  This exact phrase is mentioned three times (4:21, 4:154, 33:7) in the Glorious Quran for the following Covenants:

  

1-  For the solemn covenant ميثاقا غليظا of marriage between the husband and wife.

2-  For the solemn covenant ميثاقا غليظا between GOD Almighty and the Prophets.

3-  For the solemn covenant ميثاقا غليظا between GOD Almighty and the Jews on the holiness of the Sabbath.

  

Again, please see Noble Verses 4:21, 4:154, 33:7.  Divorce is allowed, but it is a detested lawful thing to Allah Almighty.  Abusing it or misusing it will bring sin upon you.

3-  One wife is the most preferred to Allah Almighty:

Furthermore, Allah Almighty made it crystal clear that He best prefers for Muslim men to only marry one wife, each.  Messing around with marrying multiple women is a slippery slope that could bring sin upon you:

Noble Verse 4:3 "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice."

Marry one woman to prevent you from doing injustice.  This is further supported also in the following Noble Verse:

Noble Verse 4:129 "Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."

Polygamy is allowed by Allah Almighty, but like divorce, it too is a detested lawful thing to Allah Almighty.  And most certainly, abusing it or misusing it will bring sin upon you.

1-  What is Muta and why was it allowed?

The sub-sections here are:

(a)-  It came as a social solution and prevention to problems!
(b)-  The Jewish Pharisees and the Shias' similarities to them.
(c)-  They convert people only to evil!

  

Let us first define what Muta is.  Muta today simply means marriage for pleasure or satisfaction.  The word is derived from istimtaa', which means to enjoy something or to have happiness or joy from it.  Muta usually implies a temporary marriage, but that is not always true and accurate.  Muta is a legal marriage that was built solely on a sexual desire that existed between two couples to enable them to avoid fornication and prostitution in the society, and to allow the men who couldn't afford a traditional and cultural marriage - because it is too expensive for them - to still be able to wed women.  Muta was also allowed to enable men who traveled on foot for 100s of miles to distant lands on foot to marry women at their new local towns to prevent them from raping and committing fornication and/or adultery and all other sexual evil such as homosexuality.

Muta also came to solve social problems that the early Muslims faced.  It never came for the sole purpose to gratify sexual pleasures only, even though sexual pleasures are automatically gratified in marriages.  Back in the Prophet's days, literal nakedness and sexual immorality were high among the pagans as clearly shown in the Hadiths in section #4 below.  This clearly proves that the pagans were too sexually open.  So Muta also came to ease the sexual temptation and to allow a weaning period for the Muslims to get used to modesty.  The Muslims were new to Islam, and they came from sexually open pagan societies.  Please see section #4 below for the clear-cut Hadiths.

  

(a)-  It came as a social solution and prevention to problems!

The Glorious Quran in Noble Verse 2:236, below, clearly says that depending on one's intentions, his termination of the marriage might bring sin upon him/her.  It all depends on the situation and the intention.

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, also said in his Hadith: "Among all of the lawful things that Allah Almighty allowed, the most detested one to is divorce."  See the Hadiths' references below.  Divorce and/or termination of marriage is not to be done irresponsibly, because it will bring sin upon you.

Watch the video here.  Sam Shamoun exposes the sex scandals of many inside his inner circle.

Muta is similar to why alcohol was also allowed temporarily in Islam.  It was a gradual process to free that certain society from certain addictions and traditions.  It was also to prevent rape, fornication and adultery among Muslim men when they traveled for hundreds of miles on foot for the, sometimes, years away from their wives.  Temporary marriage was allowed for them, and then was forbidden for good altogether.

  

(b)-  The Jewish Pharisees and the Shias' similarities to them:

Now before I present the indisputable evidence from the Shia sources themselves that clearly prove that Muta is forbidden, I'd like to first bring the example of the Jewish Pharisees that Jesus condemned in the Bible's New Testament.  Here is what Jesus said about them:

Matthew 23
13 Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

Matthew 23
15 Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.

Matthew 23
27 Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.

The Pharisees according to the Bible's New Testament used to twist and pervert GOD Almighty's Holy Words to suit their own evil ways and desires.  They read the text of their Holy Law, but they understood it not, and they strived on misinterpreting it and misapplying it. 

  

(c)-  They convert people only to evil!

As Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, said in Matthew 23:15 "...You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are."  Because they are wrong and "dumb, deaf and blind" as Allah Almighty also called the hypocrites and the infidels in the Noble Quran, in Noble Verses 2:18 and 2:171, even those whom they try to convert to Allah Almighty's Truth, they end up converting them only to satan.

  

  

2-  The Shias are the Islamic Pharisees according to their own sources:

The sub-sections here are:

(a)-  Divorce is condemned and could bring sin upon you according to the Noble Quran!

(b)-  Marriage is a ميثاقا غليظا "Great and Solemn Covenant" according to the Noble Quran! 

       (i)-   Islam is now Complete!  Shias be Warned!

(c)-  If you're not stable enough, then marry only ONE WIFE!
(d)-  One wife even if the orphans are compromised!
(e)-  Divorce in the Shia sources.

         i-   Divorce is the most detestable permissible thing to Allah Almighty.
         ii-  Except in adultery, a divorce must never happen.
         ii-  Divorce shakes the Throne of Allah Almighty.

  

On this site, we have created a detailed section with many articles, both in TEXT and AUDIO, proving using Islamic quotes from both the Noble Quran and the Hadiths (Sayings of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) that temporary marriage is forbidden in Islam.  You can checkout those articles at: https://www.answering-christianity.com/muta.htm.  In this article, however, I will prove that temporary marriage is also strictly forbidden from those Islamic Pharisees' own sources, by Allah Almighty's Grace, Mercy, Guidance and Will.

The Shias allow marriage of any type and for any amount of time (see also Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus).  A Muslim can, for instance, marry a young college girl with hot sexy curves and very beautiful body for an hour and then divorce her.  Muta marriage to the Shias is a marriage that is destined for divorce.  Yet, their own sources strongly condemn divorce as we clearly see below.  Let us first see what Allah Almighty Said regarding irresponsible marriage and irresponsible divorce in the Noble Quran:

  

(a)-  Divorce is condemned and could bring sin upon you according to the Noble Quran:

Throughout my articles, I've always liked to take the worst case scenario that the infidels charge Islam with and still refute them by Allah Almighty's Mercy, Grace and Will.  For our case here, I will take the Shia's argument that the Prophet of Islam never personally nullified Muta-temporary marriage and still prove that this type of Muta is not only detestable to Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran, but it is also supposed to be far from being a legalized prostitution, because it shouldn't be a marriage that is destined for intentional and planned divorce to begin with.

(Note: Noble Verse 4:3 in Sub-sections "B" and "C" below gives a big smack to the Shias' prostitution!)

  

Muta to the Shias is a marriage that is destined for divorce.  This, however, is far from being supported in the Noble Quran.  Here is what Allah Almighty Said regarding divorce in the Noble Quran:

2:236 لاجناح عليكم ان طلقتم النساء مالم تمسوهن او تفرضوا لهن فريضة ومتعوهن على الموسع قدره وعلى المقتر قدره متاعا بالمعروف حقا على المحسنين

"You bear no sin if you divorce your wives AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOT (ma-lam مالم) had (a sexual) contact (with them), and before settling (the amount of) the nuptial premium (for them). Yet, you should make provisions for them (even then); the affluent in keeping with his means, and the poor according to what he can afford. A fair provision is an obligation upon the pious.  (The Noble Quran, 2:236)"

Ma-lam مالم in Arabic means "as long as you have not," which makes it a condition and a Law.  The meaning of the word مالم as "as long as you have not" is very well-known in Arabic and the translation is also proven by ample English translations of this Noble Verse.  So irresponsible divorce after the consummation of marriage (after sex) will bring sin upon the irresponsible and guilty one(s).  The Noble Verse is crystal-clear about this.

  
Ma-lam مالم does not mean "before":

قبل  means "before" in the Noble Quran and in Arabic.  The following Noble Verses clealry prove this:

2:108 ام تريدون ان تسئلوا رسولكم كما سئل موسى من قبل ومن يتبدل الكفر بالايمان فقد ضل سواء السبيل

[002:108]  Rather you wish to put questions to your Apostle, as Musa was questioned before; and whoever adopts unbelief instead of faith, he indeed has lost the right direction of the way.

2:254 ياايها الذين امنوا انفقوا ممارزقناكم من قبل ان ياتي يوم لابيع فيه ولاخلة ولاشفاعة والكافرون هم الظالمون

[002:254]  O you who believe! spend out of what We have given you before the day comes in which there is no bargaining, neither any friendship nor intercession, and the unbelievers -- they are the unjust.

2:4 والذين يؤمنون بما انزل اليك وماانزل من قبلك وبالاخرة هم يوقنون

[002:004]  And who believe in that which has been revealed to you and that which was revealed before you and they are sure of the hereafter.

2:21 ياايها الناس اعبدوا ربكم الذي خلقكم والذين من قبلكم لعلكم تتقون

[002:021]  O men! serve your Lord Who created you and those before you so that you may guard (against evil).

  

Continuing on.....

"Oh prophet, (and Oh you believers)! If you (must) divorce your women, divorce them for a (prescribed) period. Count the period (correctly). Fear Allah, your Lord, and do not _ unless they have committed a flagrantly immoral act _ expel your divorced women out of their homes. The women too should not leave their homes. These are the confines of Allah. Anyone overstepping the limits of Allah actually commits an outrage upon himself. You do not know! (During that period), Allah may well bring about something (to cause reconciliation between the husband and wife).  (The Noble Quran, 65:1)"

Fear Allah??  So not only divorce is displeasing to Allah Almighty as we saw in the previous Noble Verse and also in this Noble Verse, but if the man is not careful with the divorce and the timing of the divorce, then Allah Almighty will not be pleased with him.

"At the end of the (prescribed) period, either hold back your women (in wedlock) lawfully, according to the well-known (prescribed) manner, or make the divorce final in accordance with the well known (prescribed) way. Take two of your fair minded (and respected) men as your witnesses. (Oh witnesses)! Bear the witness truthfully for the sake of Allah! Those who believe in Allah, and the life-to-come, are hereby being asked to heed. Allah will provide a way out for the one who fears Him!  (The Noble Quran, 65:2)"

Here in this Noble Verse, we see that divorce is not only discouraged, but it also has to be done in the most proper Islamic way.

Another look at Noble Verse 65:2 to see how Allah Almighty Commanded that at least two reliable witnesses must witness the divorce between the man and the woman:

"At the end of the (prescribed) period, either hold back your women (in wedlock) lawfully, according to the well-known (prescribed) manner, or make the divorce final in accordance with the well known (prescribed) way. Take two of your fair minded (and respected) men as your witnesses. (Oh witnesses)! Bear the witness truthfully for the sake of Allah! Those who believe in Allah, and the life-to-come, are hereby being asked to heed. Allah will provide a way out for the one who fears Him!  (The Noble Quran, 65:2)"

The fact that the Islamic Pharisees (Shias) don't require witnesses for either the marriage and divorce in their temporary marriage contracts, makes it clearly go against Allah Almighty's Holy Words in Noble Verse 65:2.

Clearly, the Shias' Muta is not Islamic!  And like I said, the Sunnis Hadiths do clearly state that Prophet Muhammad forbade Muta altogether because the Muslims were going to turn it into a legalized prostitution.

"And if you divorce your wives before having (sexual) contact, but after settling (the amount of) the nuptial premium, then you are liable to pay half of the stipulated amount. (However), there is no harm if the woman gives up her half, or (there is no harm if the groom,) the one who is responsible for tying the wedding knot (pays the full amount and) waives his half. (For the groom) to forgo (his half) is closer to piety. But do not (forgo or) forget to show courtesy (and kindness) to one another. Indeed, Allah (vigilantly) watches everything you do.  (The Noble Quran, 2:237)"

Just the fact that she was called your wife for even one hour makes her entitled of half of the dowry amount.  That's how honored marriage is in Islam.

"The divorced woman has a right to a reasonable livelihood; and (to provide) it is an obligation upon the pious.  (The Noble Quran, 2:241)"

Here a divorced woman has the right to what we call today maintenance or alimony payment.  Again, another clear-cut proof that marriage is very honored and sacred in Islam.

"(Remember), if you are in doubt about the ‘iddat.' of your women, _ either because they are past the age, or haven't yet started to menstruate _ it lasts three months. The ‘iddat' for the pregnant women (is three months, or it) lasts till the termination of pregnancy. (iddat: the period after divorce during which a woman is forbidden to remarry). Allah (grants a leeway and) makes matters easy for the one who fears Him.  (The Noble Quran, 65:4)"

"(During the period of ‘iddat') have the (divorced) women live where you live, as your resources allow. Do not abuse and mistreat them, in order to harass them. If they happen to be carrying (your) child, then spend and bear their expenses till they carry their pregnancies to term. If they are nursing (your child), then compensate them in a fair and equitable manner. Settle the issue (of compensation) between you and your (former) wives amicably. Should the matter (of compensation) be difficult (and hard to resolve), then any other woman may nurse the child.  (The Noble Quran, 65:6)"

Again, more alimony payments and more honor to marriage and more discourage and resentment by Allah Almighty toward divorce.

  

  

(b)-  Marriage is a ميثاقا غليظا "Great and Solemn Covenant" according to the Noble Quran!

Allah Almighty Declared in the Glorious Quran that a "Great and Solemn Covenant" (ميثاقا غليظا) is taken by the two spouses when they get married.  How could a marriage of only 2 hours, for example, that is intentionally destined for divorce be a Great and Solemn Covenant?!

Let us look at what Allah Almighty Said in Noble Verses 4:20-21 and 33:7:

Noble Verse(s) 4:20-4:21
Yusuf Ali:

[004:020]  But if ye decide to take one wife in place of another, even if ye had given the latter a whole treasure for dower, Take not the least bit of it back: Would ye take it by slander and manifest wrong?

[004:021]  And how could ye take it when ye have gone in unto each other, and they have Taken from you a solemn covenant?

Dr. Munir Munshey (one of www.answering-christianity.com's authors):

[004:020]  In case you want to replace a wife with another, do not take back anything you may have given to her in the past, even if it were a very large sum. Would you take back (your gift) by resorting to slander and a flagrant injustice?

[004:021]  How can you take anything back, after you have already consummated the relationship (and enjoyed each other)? She has secured from you a firm commitment!

4:21 وكيف تاخذونه وقد افضى بعضكم الى بعض واخذن منكم ميثاقا غليظا

Sher Ali:

[004:020]  And if you desire to take one wife in place of another and you have given one of them a treasure, take not aught therefrom. Will you take it by false accusations and manifest sinfulness ?

[004:021]  And how can you take it when one of you may have consorted with the other, and they (the women) have taken from you a strong covenant ?

Shakir:

[004:020]  And if you wish to have (one) wife in place of another and you have given one of them a heap of gold, then take not from it anything; would you take it by slandering (her) and (doing her) manifest wrong?

[004:021]  And how can you take it when one of you has already gone in to the other and they have made with you a firm covenant?

Pickthall:

[004:020]  And if ye wish to exchange one wife for another and ye have given unto one of them a sum of money (however great), take nothing from it. Would ye take it by the way of calumny and open wrong ?

[004:021]  How can ye take it (back) after one of you hath gone in unto the other, and they have taken a strong pledge from you ?

Sale:

[004:020]  If ye be desirous to exchange a wife for another wife, and ye have already given one of them a talent; take not away any thing therefrom; Will ye take it by slandering her, and doing her manifest unjustice?

[004:021]  And how can ye take it, since the one of you hath gone in unto the other, and they have received from you a firm covenant?

Muhammad Al-Hilali & Muhsin Khan:

[004:020]  But if you intend to replace a wife by another and you have given one of them a Cantar (of gold i.e. a great amount) as Mahr, take not the least bit of it back; would you take it wrongfully without a right and (with) a manifest sin?

[004:021]  And how could you take it (back) while you have gone in unto each other, and they have taken from you a firm and strong covenant?

Palmer:

[004:020]  But if ye wish to exchange one wife for another, and have given one of them a talent, then take not from it anything. What! would you take it for a calumny and a manifest crime?

[004:021]  How care ye take it when one of you has gone in unto the other, and they have taken from you a rigid compact?

Arberry:

[004:020]  And if you desire to exchange a wife in place of another, and you have given to one a hundredweight, take of it nothing. What, will you take it by way of calumny and manifest sin?

[004:021]  How shall you take it, when each of you has been privily with the other, and they have taken from you a solemn compact?

Khalifa: (why is he here?)

[004:020]  If you wish to marry another wife, in place of your present wife, and you had given any of them a great deal, you shall not take back anything you had given her. Would you take it fraudulently, maliciously, and sinfully?

[004:021]  How could you take it back, after you have been intimate with each other, and they had taken from you a solemn pledge?

Rodwell:

[004:020]  And if ye be desirous to exchange one wife for another, and have given one of them a talent, make no deduction from it. Would ye take it by slandering her, and with manifest wrong?

[004:021]  How, moreover, could ye take it, when one of you hath gone in unto the other, and they have received from you a strict bond of union?

  

The same ميثاقا غليظا Great and Solemn Covenant was also taken by the Prophets:

Noble Verse(s) 33:7
Yusuf Ali:

[033:007]  And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant:

So there is doubt that the term ميثاقا غليظا is indeed a great deal in the Glorious Quran, and is something that Allah Almighty takes very seriously.  Tampering with marriage and/or treating it carelessly is a grave sin that Allah Almighty will punish the sinner severely for.  Allah Almighty Said:

"Those who conceal God's revelations in the Book, and purchase for them a miserable profit,- they swallow into themselves naught but Fire; God will not address them on the Day of Resurrection. Nor purify them: Grievous will be their penalty (The Noble Quran, 2:174)"

"Be not like those who are divided amongst themselves and fall into disputations after receiving Clear Signs: For them is a dreadful penalty,(The Noble Quran, 3:105)"

""At length will be said to the wrong-doers: 'Taste ye the enduring punishment! ye get but the recompense of what ye earned!'" They seek to be informed by thee: "Is that true?" Say: "Aye! by my Lord! it is the very truth! and ye cannot frustrate it!" Every soul that hath sinned, if it possessed all that is on earth, would fain give it in ransom: They would declare (their) repentance when they see the penalty: but the judgment between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.  (The Noble Quran, 10:52-54)"

"Those who join together those things which God hath commanded to be joined, hold their Lord in awe, and fear the terrible reckoning(The Noble Quran, 13:21)"

"And remember! your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): "If ye are grateful, I will add more (favours) unto you; But if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed."  (The Noble Quran, 14:7)"

"And that My Penalty will be indeed the most grievous Penalty(The Noble Quran, 15:50)"

  

There are certainly 307 Noble Verses that warn us about Allah Almighty's Severe Punishment to the sinners and the disbelievers in the Day of Judgement.

  

Also, those who purposely tempt the believers and do not repent from their evil will end up in Hell Fire.  Fitnah (فتنة) in Arabic means both temptation and tumult.  See detailed definitions below.  Any type of unlawful enticement is fitnah, and any type of trickery that leads to a conflict is also a fitnah.  This includes but not limited to:

1-  Causing doubts in the hearts of the Believers toward Islam by talking negative about Islam.

2-  Verbal sexual enticement.

3-  Dressing inappropriately, such as wearing bikinis where 99% of the nakedness is exposed to the public.

4-  Encouraging evil actions and decisions such as gambling, drinking alcohol, taking drugs, etc...

5-  Purposely causing two parties or two groups of people to have conflicts with each others (See also Isaiah 1:9-17: Yahweh called Israel Sodom, because it spreads evil and is unjust).  See also: What does Islam say about tumult?

And so on....  Allah Almighty Said:

Noble Verse(s) 85:10
Arabic (from right to left):

85:10 ان الذين فتنوا المؤمنين والمؤمنات ثم لم يتوبوا فلهم عذاب جهنم ولهم عذاب الحريق

Muhammad Al-Hilali & Muhsin Khan:

[085:010]  Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women, and then do not turn in repentance, (to Allah), will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire.

Palmer:

[085:010]  Verily, those who make trial of the believers, men and women, and then do not repent, for them is the torment of hell, and for them is the torment of the burning!

As we clearly see in Noble Verse 85:10, anyone who purposely draws a believing Muslim into temptation (any form of evil temptation) then he/she is committing a sin, and if he/she doesn't repent, then their punishment with Allah Almighty is severe.

The Arabic words fatanoo (فتنوا) is derived from the root word fitnah (فتنة), which literally means temptation, or putting someone to the test, or putting someone in a situation where your intention is to cause him/her to fail.  It is as the English translation says: a trial.  It also means trying to create a conflict or trouble, either to someone or between people.

(i)-  Islam is now Complete!  Shias be Warned!

Even if Muta (temporary marriage) was allowed during Prophet Muhammad's times, but it is important for all Muslims and non-Muslims to know that Muta was allowed during the partial days of Islam, when the Laws of the Glorious Quran were not all yet Revealed, and for special reasons.  But after the Glorious Quran was completely Revealed, one would now have to look at all of the Islamic Laws properly and comprehensively to properly determine whether a certain activity is either permissible or prohibited:

Noble Verse(s) 5:3
Yusuf Ali:

[005:003]  Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than God; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, God is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Arabic (from right to left):

5:3 حرمت عليكم الميتة والدم ولحم الخنزير ومااهل لغير الله به والمنخنقة والموقوذة والمتردية والنطيحة ومااكل السبع الا ماذكيتم وماذبح على النصب وان تستقسموا بالازلام ذلك فسق اليوم يئس الذين كفروا من دينكم فلا تخشوهم واخشون اليوم اكملت لكم دينكم واتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم الاسلام دينا فمن اضطر في مخمصة غير متجانف لاثم فان الله غفور رحيم

So for those Shias of today who bring some Sayings of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, allowing Muta, they are either being completely ignorant about Islam or they are being very dishonest.  The reason for this is because such Saying or Sayings from the Prophet were said during, again, the partial days of Islam.  When one looks at all of Islam's Laws properly and comprehensively today, then one will easily and clearly find out that Islam is crystal clear about prohibiting marriages that are intentionally destined for divorce, because neither such marriages are made up of "Great and Solemn Covenants", nor was the woman left sexually untouched by the man!  Violating any or both Laws that are in Noble Verses 2:236 and 4:21, and in many other Noble Verses, will bring a grave sin upon the person as I have clearly demonstrated above.

The practice of Muta today is clearly and indisputably clashing very bitterly and very stubbornly with the Warnings and the Laws of Allah Almighty in Noble Verses 2:236 and 4:21 and many other Noble Verses, which are explained in great details above.

  

  

(c)-  If you're not stable enough, then marry only ONE WIFE!

"If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.  (The Noble Quran, 4:3)"

If the man is not mature enough nor mentally stable enough to handle multiple women (to take care of the orphans), then he is Commanded by Allah Almighty to marry only one wife.  Him marrying women for few hours and then divorcing them is strictly forbidden in this Noble Verse.

Also, Allah Almighty here not only resents divorce, but also resents polygamy altogether.  And those men who abuse and misuse polygamy will find themselves in sin.  Please visit: What does Islam say about polygamy? for more details.

If Allah Almighty truly didn't care about the sacredness of marriage and divorce in Islam, then He wouldn't have Said "then only one".  Obviously, this Noble Verse would be completely useless and pointless if I can marry sexy college girls for few hours and then divorce them as I please.

  

What's the point in Commanding me in keeping ONLY ONE WIFE then???

  

(d)-  One wife even if the orphans are compromised!

Another point that is worth mentioning on Noble Verse 4:3 above is that Allah Almighty's initial allowance of polygamy was solely and strictly for the sake of taking care of the orphans.  When Muslims won battles against infidel tribes, many women and children were left widowed and orphaned from both the infidels' and the Muslims' sides.  To solve the social crisis, Allah Almighty allowed the Muslim men to marry multiple women, up to four, to help them take care of the orphans.  But notice in the Noble Verse how much Allah Almighty valued the sacredness of marriage even over the needs of the orphans.  He, the Almighty, Said clearly and indisputably that if the Muslim man fears that his marriage will be a troublesome one for him and his wives, then he must (no choice here) stick with ONLY ONE WIFE and few harems.  Marrying multiple women in this case would be a sin.

Again, please visit: What does Islam say about polygamy? for more details.

And oh yeah by the way (for those Islamic Pharisees and prostitutes), that ONE WIFE? is a permanent wife and not a temporary one.  This is obvious in the fact that her main duty is to take care of the orphans along with her husband and children, which everyone of these is a long-term task.  You obviously couldn't take care of the orphans for few hours and then get divorced and leave them.  Also marrying and divorcing women temporarily wouldn't allow the man to be "able to deal justly (with them)," (4:3) since the man is not keeping the women justly and treating them justly; one women is used for few hours or days, while the other is a permanent one, yeah, that is fair and just according to Allah Almighty in Noble Verse 4:3, right?

  

Truly, those Islamic Pharisees are sick!


And like Jesus said above, they only convert people to satan!

  

But it was the Prophet who allowed it, not us!!

A natural answer to my statement about them being sick is that it was the Prophet, peace be upon him, who allowed Muta marriage, and that it wasn't them who just invented it out of thin air.  This point is thoroughly addressed and refuted further below where we will see why the Holy Prophet temporarily allowed it, and what social problems did it solve, and why then he forbade it.  This is all beside the point that Allah Almighty clearly condemned irresponsible divorce, in the Noble Quran, as we've clearly seen above.  So it appears clearly that Allah Almighty forbade irresponsible divorce after Muta marriage was forbidden by the Prophet.  Allah Almighty clearly told the Prophet:

"It is not lawful for thee (to marry more) women after this, nor to change them for (other) wives, even though their beauty attract thee, except any thy right hand should possess (as handmaidens): and God doth watch over all things.  (The Noble Quran, 33:52)"

It appears that after Allah Almighty forbade Muta on the Prophet, and the Prophet forbade it on the Muslims, Allah Almighty addressed divorce thoroughly in the Noble Quran.

From www.answering-christianity.com/muta_forbidden_with_shias.htm:

  

1-  Careless divorce will bring sin upon you:

Marriage with the intention of divorce (just for only sexual enjoyment) is forbidden in the Glorious Quran.  Allah Almighty said that careless and irresponsible divorce will bring sin upon you:

"You bear no sin if you divorce your wives AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOT (ma-lam مالم) had a sexual contact with them, ....  (The Noble Quran, 2:236)"

If the marriage has not been consummated yet (no sexual intercourse yet; still in a fiancée-like relationship but through a legal and legit marriage), then the couple can break up; divorce.  But after sexual intercourse is done between the bride and groom, they are now a husband and wife.  So while they are still a bride and groom, they can divorce without issue.

  

Muta marriage was a temporary marriage that destined for divorce, which Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is said to have allowed for Muslim men who fought in battles in distant lands.  They were allowed to marry women there temporarily.  Allah Almighty has thoroughly prohibited all forms of temporary marriages, and has stressed the holiness of permanent marriage in the Glorious Quran.

Was it legalized prostitution?  Was it a form of pimping women and men for just sex?  Absolutely not, because even with the Muta marriage, there was still the requirement of at least two witnesses testifying that the couple have married (announcing the marriage publiclyprotects everyone.  Ex: Married women are not approached by other men as single women, and pregnant women are known to be pregnant wives, not pregnant harlots), the dowry payment upon the husband, and Muslim women still had to go through the Idda period after the divorce.  So it was a legitimate full marriage but with the exception that it was destined for planned divorce (i.e., termination).  Allah Almighty ultimately forbade intentional non-permanent marriages. 

Again, here is what Allah Almighty Said regarding divorce in the Noble Quran.  It almost always brings sin upon the regular married folks.  However, if a man is engaged with a woman, and they had a marriage contract already done, with dowry payment, witnesses and announcing to all people in their community that they got married, but they have not yet consummated the marriage through sexual intercourse, then there is no sin upon them if they divorce, as long as they have not consummated the marriage:

2:236 لاجناح عليكم ان طلقتم النساء مالم تمسوهن او تفرضوا لهن فريضة ومتعوهن على الموسع قدره وعلى المقتر قدره متاعا بالمعروف حقا على المحسنين

"You bear no sin if you divorce your wives AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOT (ma-lam مالم) had a sexual contact with them تمسوهن, and before settling (the amount of) the nuptial premium (for them). Yet, you should make provisions for them (even then); the affluent in keeping with his means, and the poor according to what he can afford. A fair provision is an obligation upon the pious.  (The Noble Quran, 2:236)"

  

Ma-lam مالم in Arabic means "as long as you have not," which makes it a condition and a Law.  The meaning of the word مالم as "as long as you have not" is very well-known in Arabic and the translation is also proven by ample English translations of this Noble Verse.  So irresponsible divorce after the consummation of marriage (after sex) will bring sin upon the irresponsible and guilty one(s).  The Noble Verse is crystal-clear about this.

  

2-  The solemn holiness of marriage (ميثاقا غليظا):

Also, the covenant of marriage in the Glorious Quran Is a Mighty and Solemn Covenant ميثاقا غليظا (mee-thaa-qan gha-leetha).  This exact phrase is mentioned three times (4:21, 4:154, 33:7) in the Glorious Quran for the following Covenants:

  

1-  For the solemn covenant ميثاقا غليظا of marriage between the husband and wife.

2-  For the solemn covenant ميثاقا غليظا between GOD Almighty and the Prophets.

3-  For the solemn covenant ميثاقا غليظا between GOD Almighty and the Jews on the holiness of the Sabbath.

  

Again, please see Noble Verses 4:21, 4:154, 33:7.  Divorce is allowed, but it is a detested lawful thing to Allah Almighty.  Abusing it or misusing it will bring sin upon you.

3-  One wife is the most preferred to Allah Almighty:

Furthermore, Allah Almighty made it crystal clear that He best prefers for Muslim men to only marry one wife, each.  Messing around with marrying multiple women is a slippery slope that could bring sin upon you:

Noble Verse 4:3 "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice."

Marry one woman to prevent you from doing injustice.  This is further supported also in the following Noble Verse:

Noble Verse 4:129 "Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."

Polygamy is allowed by Allah Almighty, but like divorce, it too is a detested lawful thing to Allah Almighty.  And most certainly, abusing it or misusing it will bring sin upon you.

(e)-  Divorce in the Shia sources:

The following three points are clearly demonstrated and proven, below:

i-    Divorce is the most detestable permissible thing to Allah Almighty.
ii-   Except in adultery, a divorce must never happen.
iii-  Divorce shakes the Throne of Allah Almighty.

  

First, we have already seen how Allah Almighty condemns irresponsible divorce in the Noble Quran.  It is clear and it is beyond question!

Let us now look at what those Islamic Pharisees' own sources say about divorce.  We already know what the Sunni sources (Sunnis make up more than 85% of the 1.5 billion Muslims world-wide) say about temporary marriage, which we have provided them in the Muta section.  Below, we will see what those Islamic Pharisees' sources say to completely prove that they are indeed corrupt heathens:

  

Source #1:

From http://www.iranchamber.com/personalities/mmotahari/works/jurisprudence_and_its_principles.pdf:

"It is a condition of divorce firstly that, at the time of divorce, the woman is clean of her monthly period. Secondly, there must be two just witnesses present when the contract of divorce is recited. Divorce is divinely detested. The Prophet of God tells us: "The most-detested permissible (thing) before God is divorce". "

  

Divorce is the most detestable permissible thing to Allah Almighty!

  

Source #2:

From http://www.al-shia.com/html/eng/books/principles/014.html:

Divorce:

Although divorce is a lawful act, it is the most detested and worst of adeeds.

Imam Sadiq (AS) stated: ‘Get married but, do not divorce, because a divorce would tremble the ‘Arsh (empyrean) of Allah'."259

  

Divorce shakes the Throne of Allah Almighty!!

  


"lmäm Sädiq (AS) also stated: ‘Allah likes the house which is inhabited in the wake of marriage and dislikes the house which is abandoned in the wake of divorce. .There is nothing more detestable to Allah than a divorce'
 

Marriage is not like buying a pair of shoes and socks that whenever not liked one disposes the shoes and buys an (pair of shoes. Marriage is a spiritual covenant that two pet make in order to stay together like friends, sympathies au lovers till their death. It is based on these great hopes tb young girl leaves her parents and joins her husband.

A man makes efforts and works hard on the basis of s a divine covenant. He pays for his wedding and buys necessary goods for his new life and works for his comfort.

Marriage is not a lustful affair and a couple cannot destroy it for trivial excuses. Although divorce is lawful, it 1 seriously detested and people are recommended to avoid it much as possible.

Unfortunately, this very detestable act has become so common in Islamic countries and the foundations of family units have become so shaky that there is generally little faith in marriage any more.

Divorce is permitted but only in very exceptional and compelling circumstances.

"The Prophet (SA) of Allah stated: Jibril (Gabriel) advised me about women so much that I thought one should not divorce them except if they commit adultery'."26' (this is a Hadith from Prophet Muhammad!)

 

One should not divorce them except in the case of adultery!!??

  

These are quotes coming from the Scriptures of the same people who allow for a man to marry a young college girl for an hour and then divorce her!  Clearly, these corrupt heathens are the modern-day Islamic Pharisees!

  

  

3-  So why did Prophet Muhammad allow it for a period of time then?

The sub-sections here are:

(a)-  Great Proofs from brother Karim.
(b)-  The Prophet allowed Muta only twice - by brother Karim.
(c)-  Sincere and burning questions to the Shias!
(d)-  The Shias' wasted deeds in the Noble Quran!

  

Again, Muta is a legal marriage that was built solely on a sexual desire that existed between two couples to enable them to avoid fornication and prostitution in the society, and to allow the men who couldn't afford a traditional and cultural marriage - because it is too expensive for them - to still be able to wed women.  Muta was also allowed to enable men who traveled on foot for 100s of miles to distant lands on foot to marry women at their new local towns to prevent them from raping and committing fornication and/or adultery and all other sexual evil such as homosexuality.

Muta also came to solve social problems that the early Muslims faced.  It never came to gratify sexual pleasures, even though sexual pleasures are automatically gratified in marriages.  Back in the Prophet's days, literal nakedness and sexual immorality were high among the pagans as clearly shown in the following Hadiths.  This clearly proves that the pagans were too sexually open.  So Muta also came to ease the sexual temptation and to allow a weaning period for the Muslims to get used to modesty.  The Muslims were new to Islam, and they came from sexually open pagan societies:

Narrated Abu Huraira: "On the Day of Nahr (10th of Dhul-Hijja, in the year prior to the last Hajj of the Prophet when Abu Bakr was the leader of the pilgrims in that Hajj) Abu Bakr sent me along with other announcers to Mina to make a public announcement: "No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year and no naked person is allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba. Then Allah's Apostle sent 'All to read out the Surat Bara'a (At-Tauba) to the people; so he made the announcement along with us on the day of Nahr in Mina: "No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year and no naked person is allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba."  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, Number 365)"

Narrated Abu Huraira: "In the year prior to the last Hajj of the Prophet when Allahs Apostle made Abu Bakr the leader of the pilgrims, the latter (Abu Bakr) sent me in the company of a group of people to make a public announcement: 'No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year, and no naked person is allowed to perform Tawaf of the Kaba.' (See Hadith No. 365 Vol. 1)  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 26, Number 689)"

Narrated Humaid bin Abdur Rahman: "Abu Huraira said, "Abu Bakr sent me in that Hajj in which he was the chief of the pilgrims along with the announcers whom he sent on the Day of Nahr to announce at Mina: "No pagan shall perform Hajj after this year, and none shall perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba in a naked state." Humaid added: That the Prophet sent 'Ali bin Abi Talib (after Abu Bakr) and ordered him to recite aloud in public Surat-Baraa. Abu Huraira added, "So 'Ali, along with us, recited Bara'a (loudly) before the people at Mina on the Day of Nahr and announced "No pagan shall perform Hajj after this year and none shall perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba in a naked state."..except those pagans with whom you ( Muslims) have a treaty." (9.4)  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 179)"

Narrated Abu Huraira: "That during the Hajj in which the Prophet had made Abu Bakr As Siddiq as chief of the, Hajj before the Hajj-ul-Wida,' on the day of Nahr, Abu Bakr sent him along with a group of persons to announce to the people. "No pagan is permitted to perform Hajj after this year, and nobody is permitted to perform the Tawaf of the Ka'ba naked.(Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 649)"

However, after Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw that the Muslims were going to turn temporary marriage into legalized prostitution, he forbade it for good.  Allah Almighty also spoke about the sacredness of marriage throughout the Noble Quran and how irresponsible divorce would bring sin upon the individual.  See Noble Verse 2:236 and the many others above.

  

(a)-  Great Proofs from brother Karim:

Salaam, first off all dear brother i found some refutations to shai claims on Mutah, i attacked them in the pdf file "Mutah Discussed". Secondly good research brother Osama, i looked for the proper references to the quotes you gave in the email, and i found the source references for them:

1:  "Imam Sadiq (AS) stated: 'Get married but do not divorce, because a divorce would tremble the Arsh (empyrean) of Allah'."

Source: Makarim al-Akhlaq, p 225.

2:  "Imam Sadiq (AS) also stated: 'Allah likes the house which is inhabited in the wake of marriage and dislikes the house which is abandoned in the wake of divorce. There is nothing more detestable to Allah than a divorce."

Source: Wasa'il al-Shi'ah, vol 15, p 267.

In this shia source we read:

"The Prophet (SA) of Allah stated: Jibrail(Gabriel) advised me about women so much that I thought one should not divorce them except if they commit adultery'."

Source: Makarim al-Akhlaq, p 248.

The shia Imam we quote holds the view that divorce is most detestable to Allah. We do not need a sunni hadith to refute the shia's, because all great sunni scholars have already written fatwas proving that Mutah is forbidden these days with hadeeth from bukhari & Muslim etc.

  

So what i advise Osama to do is:

1:  To quote some fatwas from great renowned sunni scholars who proof with hadith and quranic verses that Mutah is haram in Islam, an example of such a fatwa can be found on the next link:

http://www.sunnipath.com/resources/Questions/qa00000603.aspx

or:

http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=7&ID=4550&CATE=120

Moreover you can quote or refer to the pdf file "Mutah Discussed" which i attached in this mail.


2:  Osama can destroy the shias by quoting these statements from a famous shia Imam:

"Imam Sadiq (AS) stated: 'Get married but do not divorce, because a divorce would tremble the Arsh (empyrean) of Allah'." [ Source: Makarim al-Akhlaq, p 225. ]

"Imam Sadiq (AS) also stated: 'Allah likes the house which is inhabited in the wake of marriage and dislikes the house which is abandoned in the wake of divorce. There is nothing more detestable to Allah than a divorce." [ Source: Wasa'il al-Shi'ah, vol 15, p 267. ]

Imam Ja'far moreover said that Muta is Zina (fornication/adultery) in al Bidayat Al Mujtahid.

[ moreover remember that shias consider their imams free from sins and errors as far as i know. These shia sources therefore hit hard back at those shias who think Muta is allowed and a "praiseworthy act" ]

ma salama

  

(b)-  The Prophet allowed Muta ONLY TWICE - by brother Karim:

Salaam brothers , some USefull info for brothers wo want to debate the Muta issue with shamoun could perhaps take some usefull from the below article:

Muta:
_______________________________________________________________________________

In the history of Islam, The Prophet (saw) allowed muta'a twice in his lifetime (see also Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus). The first time the Prophet (saw) allowed it for three days, at the war of Khaiber, and after three days it was made haram. Once Ali argued with a man who believed in Muta'a and told him that the Prophet made muta'a and the meat of donkey haram on the day of Khaiber (Bukhari vol. 7, pg. 287 and vol. 4 pg. 134). This hadith can also be found in shiya hadith books, which I will mention later.

The second time the Prophet (saw) allowed it was at the conquest of Mecca, for three days, and then he made it haram again till the day of Judgment (Muslim vol. 4 pg. 133). Notice, the practice of
muta'a was then made haram till the Day of Judgement.This is confirmed with the hadiths in the following books: Imam Ahmed's Musnad vol. 16 pg. 192-193, Muslim vol. 4, pg. 132, Bayhaki vol. 7 pg. 293-294.

Since there was a time when muta'a was halal. Therefore, one can find hadith saying that it was halal. However, the latter hadith, which follows the final order of jurisprudence set by the the Prophet(saw), takes precedence over the former hadith.

Ninety-nine percent of the companions followed this opinion, but there was one percent who believed muta'a can be performed in extreme case of necessity in the land of war. This one percent is divided into two groups.

One says, it is allowed with the khalipha's permission, and the other says there is no need for the permission . Those who do not believe in khalipha's permission say that it was Umar who made it haram. Their proof is based upon an opinion by a companion namely Ibn Abbas. People misused this opinion of Ibn Abbas until he clarified himself and said, Wallahi I did not mean what they did! I meant similarly to what Allah meant when he allowed the meat of dead animals and pork to be eaten in extreme necessity. This is referring to the time when people abused the rule of necessity at time of Umar, following the understanding of the one percent. Finally, Umar declared and taught it to be haram when a lady came to Umar complaining about how her husband in muta'a, who was married, would not take responsibility of the child. He realized how the society was becoming corrupt with similar conditions to adultery. Thus, he had to teach people and make muta'a haram even in the case of the one percent opinion.

The shiya themselves have a hadith narrated by Ali which states that the Prophet made muta'a haram on the day of Khaiber (Book of Tahdeeb: vol. 7, pg. 251, rewaya 10). The author states that Ali lied for the purposes of safety (taqiya). In Book of Istebsar: vol. 3, pg. 142, rewaya 5, there is a declaration by Ali that muta'a is haram. Again they accuse Ali of lying for safety reasons (taqiya).

One of their highly authentic hadith books, Usool Al-Kaafi: vol. 5, pg. 462, rewaya 1; It has a hadith that states that muta'a for a virgin girl is not recommended because of the shame it will bring upon her parents. Imam Abi-Abdullah narrated: Do not do muta'a with a believer woman..because you will humiliate her by doing that. (shiya sources: Tahdeeb: vol. 7, pg. 253, rewaya 14:21; Istibsaar: vol. 3, pg. 143, rewaya 4:93). In Shiya beliefs, there are many contradictions regarding as to whom muta'a can be performed with. In one hadith, it is stated that muta'a can only be done with a believer (Kaafi: vol. 5, pg. 454, rewaya 3-4) whereas, in rewaya 27, it is stated that muta'a is not allowed with a muslimah, it is only allowed with Jewish or Christian women. In Beharul-anwaar(authentic Shiya hadith book) vol. 103, pg. 340, rewaya 10:3, it is also stated that it is haram to do muta'a with a person who is married or able to marry.

With the given confusion in the books of shiyas regarding muta'a, and it being haram among the sunnis, should really make one think hard before believing that they are doing marriage in a halal way and in the name of Allah.

(c)-  Sincere and burning questions to the Shias!

Muta marriage in Islam doesn't have to end in divorce.  It could be and must be a permanent marriage.  The sincere ones from the Shias must ask themselves the following questions:

1-  Is Muta the way it's practiced today a moral act?  No.

2-  Does the Noble Quran support my answer?  Yes.

3-  Do the Shia and Sunni Hadiths support my answer?  Yes.

4-  Is divorce is highly detestable and would bring sin upon you if you're careless with it?  Yes.

5-  Is irresponsible marriage also a sin especially when justice and morality are compromised in it?  Yes; remember Noble Verse 4:3 above?


The burning question:

6-  Are the Shias of today the same as the Jewish Pharisees whom were condemned by Jesus?  Yes.

  

(d)-  The Shias' wasted deeds in the Noble Quran!

  


"Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds!  (The Noble Quran, 18:104)"
 

  
My dear Shia-Muslim brother or sister in Islam, let me ask you a sincere question:

Do you honestly believe that GOD Almighty really allows you to marry and divorce irresponsibly (ex: marry a hot-looking college girl with hot curves for few hours and then divorce her)?

If you don't, then fear His Warning in Noble Verse 18:104 above.

  

  

4-  Conclusion:

Again, Muta is a legal marriage that was built solely on a sexual desire that existed between two couples to enable them to avoid fornication and prostitution in the society, and to allow the men who couldn't afford a traditional and cultural marriage - because it is too expensive for them - to still be able to wed women.  Muta was also allowed to enable men who traveled on foot for 100s of miles to distant lands on foot to marry women at their new local towns to prevent them from raping and committing fornication and/or adultery and all other sexual evil such as homosexuality.

Muta also came to solve social problems that the early Muslims faced.  It never came to gratify sexual pleasures, even though sexual pleasures are automatically gratified in marriages.  Back in the Prophet's days, literal nakedness and sexual immorality were high among the pagans as I've clearly shown in the Hadiths above.  This clearly proves that the pagans were too sexually open.  So Muta also came to ease the sexual temptation and to allow a weaning period for the Muslims to get used to modesty.  The Muslims were new to Islam, and they came from sexually open pagan societies.

We have seen above an example of those who twist and pervert the Holy Words of Allah Almighty through the condemnation of the Jewish Pharisees by Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him.  We have also seen how Allah Almighty valued the sacredness of marriage throughout the Noble Quran and also through the Hadiths (Sayings) of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.  And we have also seen why Prophet Muhammad allowed temporary marriage for a period of time and then forbade it.  And even if we take the Shias' claim about no one ever heard the Prophet declare it forbidden, then we still have ample proofs from the Noble Quran and their own sources that clearly condemn temporary marriage and intentional divorce.

Therefore, the Shias are indeed the Islamic Pharisees whom are the hypocrites, heathens and deceived ones!  They are immoral horny fornicators who promote nothing but immorality and whoredom in the Islamic society, despite the fact that not only Allah Almighty and the Prophet of Islam clearly declared irresponsible divorce forbidden, but ironically, one of their major Imams, Imam Jafar, declared it zina (fornication/adultery).

Also, Allah Almighty Said that marriage is a "Great and Solemn Covenant".  He, the Almighty, also Said that if a man divorces a woman carelessly, then he could bring a sin upon himself.  Noble Verses 2:236 and 4:21 and the many other Noble Verses that I mentioned and explained in thorough details, throughout this article, clearly and indisputably prove this.

I would like to conclude this article by saying: Any halal (lawful) act when misused becomes haram (sinful).  This is true with the Jewish Pharisees, and with the modern-day Shias' legalized male and female prostitutes.  They misuse and pervert marriage, and they misuse and pervert divorce.

  

From www.answering-christianity.com/muta_forbidden_with_shias.htm:

  

1-  Careless divorce will bring sin upon you:

Marriage with the intention of divorce (just for only sexual enjoyment) is forbidden in the Glorious Quran.  Allah Almighty said that careless and irresponsible divorce will bring sin upon you:

"You bear no sin if you divorce your wives AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOT (ma-lam مالم) had a sexual contact with them, ....  (The Noble Quran, 2:236)"

If the marriage has not been consummated yet (no sexual intercourse yet; still in a fiancée-like relationship but through a legal and legit marriage), then the couple can break up; divorce.  But after sexual intercourse is done between the bride and groom, they are now a husband and wife.  So while they are still a bride and groom, they can divorce without issue.

  

Muta marriage was a temporary marriage that destined for divorce, which Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is said to have allowed for Muslim men who fought in battles in distant lands.  They were allowed to marry women there temporarily.  Allah Almighty has thoroughly prohibited all forms of temporary marriages, and has stressed the holiness of permanent marriage in the Glorious Quran.

Was it legalized prostitution?  Was it a form of pimping women and men for just sex?  Absolutely not, because even with the Muta marriage, there was still the requirement of at least two witnesses testifying that the couple have married (announcing the marriage publiclyprotects everyone.  Ex: Married women are not approached by other men as single women, and pregnant women are known to be pregnant wives, not pregnant harlots), the dowry payment upon the husband, and Muslim women still had to go through the Idda period after the divorce.  So it was a legitimate full marriage but with the exception that it was destined for planned divorce (i.e., termination).  Allah Almighty ultimately forbade intentional non-permanent marriages. 

Again, here is what Allah Almighty Said regarding divorce in the Noble Quran.  It almost always brings sin upon the regular married folks.  However, if a man is engaged with a woman, and they had a marriage contract already done, with dowry payment, witnesses and announcing to all people in their community that they got married, but they have not yet consummated the marriage through sexual intercourse, then there is no sin upon them if they divorce, as long as they have not consummated the marriage:

2:236 لاجناح عليكم ان طلقتم النساء مالم تمسوهن او تفرضوا لهن فريضة ومتعوهن على الموسع قدره وعلى المقتر قدره متاعا بالمعروف حقا على المحسنين

"You bear no sin if you divorce your wives AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOT (ma-lam مالم) had a sexual contact with them تمسوهن, and before settling (the amount of) the nuptial premium (for them). Yet, you should make provisions for them (even then); the affluent in keeping with his means, and the poor according to what he can afford. A fair provision is an obligation upon the pious.  (The Noble Quran, 2:236)"

  

Ma-lam مالم in Arabic means "as long as you have not," which makes it a condition and a Law.  The meaning of the word مالم as "as long as you have not" is very well-known in Arabic and the translation is also proven by ample English translations of this Noble Verse.  So irresponsible divorce after the consummation of marriage (after sex) will bring sin upon the irresponsible and guilty one(s).  The Noble Verse is crystal-clear about this.

  

2-  The solemn holiness of marriage (ميثاقا غليظا):

Also, the covenant of marriage in the Glorious Quran Is a Mighty and Solemn Covenant ميثاقا غليظا (mee-thaa-qan gha-leetha).  This exact phrase is mentioned three times (4:21, 4:154, 33:7) in the Glorious Quran for the following Covenants:

  

1-  For the solemn covenant ميثاقا غليظا of marriage between the husband and wife.

2-  For the solemn covenant ميثاقا غليظا between GOD Almighty and the Prophets.

3-  For the solemn covenant ميثاقا غليظا between GOD Almighty and the Jews on the holiness of the Sabbath.

  

Again, please see Noble Verses 4:21, 4:154, 33:7.  Divorce is allowed, but it is a detested lawful thing to Allah Almighty.  Abusing it or misusing it will bring sin upon you.

3-  One wife is the most preferred to Allah Almighty:

Furthermore, Allah Almighty made it crystal clear that He best prefers for Muslim men to only marry one wife, each.  Messing around with marrying multiple women is a slippery slope that could bring sin upon you:

Noble Verse 4:3 "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice."

Marry one woman to prevent you from doing injustice.  This is further supported also in the following Noble Verse:

Noble Verse 4:129 "Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."

Polygamy is allowed by Allah Almighty, but like divorce, it too is a detested lawful thing to Allah Almighty.  And most certainly, abusing it or misusing it will bring sin upon you.

Quran's STUNNING Divine Miracles: [1]
 

Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind.  For example:
  

1-  The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran.  Yet, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran.  See detailed listing here.

Stunning Prophecies [2] [3]

 

2-  Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years.  Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters.  You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.

3-  Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
  

       -  Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].
       -  Is rotating around itself.
       -  Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2].
       -  Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
  

"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (وردة كالدهان)." (The Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]
  
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day.  NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its
trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode).  It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.

 

Coincidence?  See 1,000s of examples [1].Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.

  
Islam also thoroughly rejects as man-made lies the Trinity and Crucifixion [2].  Jesus was also thoroughly called
slave of GOD [1] in both the OT and NT.


Quran:  All Bibles are mostly of corrupt [1] قول   (Quran 10:94 and 10s others discussed).  See also the 39+ members of trinity.  Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.

  

John 5:30  "I cannot do anything on my own."  (i.e., Jesus could not perform a single Miracle without GOD sending it down to him first!).  I can not perform a single Miracle on my own!!  I am totally POWERLESS without Allah Almighty!
  

John 5:31  "if I (Jesus) bear witness of myself, then I would be a liar!" 

GOD didn't talk this way when He spoke to Moses.  GOD's testimony alone is always sufficient!  Jesus also bowed his face down to the ground, like we Muslims  (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more";    ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40)  Muslims do everyday, and prayed to GOD Almighty.
