How many wives did Mohammed had?
153165
Mohammad had 9 wives all together.  (see explanation below)\n\nHe did not personally kill anyone.  Not even in battle.  He did not wage war on anyone.  The battles that he was involved in were waged against him by the corrupt rulers of Mecca.  He was preaching for equality and abolishing slavery and calling to the worship of the One and Only God, Creator and Sustainer of the Universe.\n\nThe Meccan leaders were profitting quite a bit from the practice of idol worshipping.  They also practiced slavery, gambling, and many other things that God forbids.  They had a lot to loose if people started listening to him.  They chose to fight him to maintain their status and power.\n\nThe reason people thought he was a prophet is the same reason people thought that Abraham, David, Moses, and others were prophets.  He came to call people to denounce the worship of idols, dissolve distinctions between people and establish brotherhood among all, abolish slavery, stop gambling, and put to an end many of the corrupt things the people were doing at the time.\n\nBut the biggest single reason people thought he was a prophet was the Quran.  This revelation did not sound like it came from man; it sounded divine.  Also, before the message was revealed to him by the Angel Gabriel, he was known to be a very kind and trust-worthy person among the Arabs of Mecca.  Plus the fact that he was illiterate which meant that he would have been incapable of producing such marvelous text.\n\nMany agree that Prophet Muhammad is mentioned in the bible.  Jesus (peace be upon him) speaks of a comforter, "the spirit of truth", which will come and lead the people to the worship of the One and Only God.  Many argue that this comforter is the holy spirit.  Well, if I'm not mistaken, the holy spirit is the Angel Gabriel who was the deliverer of the message to Prophet Muhammad.\n\n======== Why 9 wives ========\n\nAs far as his marriage to 9 wives, we have to understand what was going on at the time; each of these marriages was for a reason.  Many of them, the prophet married for protection of these women.  Either their husbands died in battle, or they were old and needed care.  \n\nOthers were for strengthening ties between the different tribes.  There would be ill feelings between certain tribes if the prophet married from one and not the other.  The prophet also married a lady called Mary the Coptic.  She was Christian, and he wanted to let the Muslims know that it would be OK to marry women of the book (i.e. Jews and Christians).\n\nCould he be called a man of fleshly desires because of this?  I say not.  The reason is when he was 25, he married Khadija (who was 40).  He stayed married only to her until her death 25 years later.  If he was truly a sexual deviant (wal-iazu billah), then he would have had many exploits at his prime.  It is also reported that some of his marriages were only to give the women that title; nothing more.\n\nSo before we rush to judgment, let's first understand what was going on at the time and look into it before we hasten to a bad conclusion.  After all, this was 1400 years ago, and he was sent to what may be the most corrupt people in history.\n\nAnd God only knows best.

My guess is that he like all men just wanted as many women as he could. But then I am not muslim so I do  not know much about him. As to him not committing adultery, he didn't have to he just married them.

He had three children by his first wife and, after she died, six by his second wife. Several of the children died young, though, and he didn't leave a single son who survived into adulthood to carry on his work.

there were many Religions before Muhammad including the Jewish religion , 560 yrs after Jesus  Muhammad was born during those times people in Arabia had many idols 300 to be exact one for every day. there were also Christians and Jews in Arabia. The City of Mecca housed these Gods and the people from all around would come and visit their God. at the age of 40 Muhammad started preaching The one God religion in Arabic called Islam and the word for God in Arabic is Allah the name Allah is like the word Adonai, God,Yahweh, Elli,Elohim, Jah, these names are not and can not be mistaken for anything but the one unseen God. As he preached some accepted some didn't, some agreed some didn't the main reason why the people of Mecca disagreed with him was because of economics see as long as Mecca has idols that people could see then they would come and visit their idols and spend money in Mecca. when the people heard about this one God and a God you couldn't see they were worried and upset at the potential loss of revenue. so they fought him. many  Jews and Christians remained in their religions and still supported Muhammad many also changed religions and followed him. and a small amount fought him. but under his rule the Jews and the christians were never forced to change religions they were free to practice their religion. and that is why we still have one of the oldest forms of christanity being practiced is today in egypt and Arabia called Coptic christians in fact Muhammad married a Coptic christian woman name Mary.

55:72: "Maidens restrained [as to their glances], in [goodly] pavilions."\n\nHoly Qur'an\n\n\n\nIn his commentary on Surah 55:72, Ibn Kathir (d. 1373 CE) stated: "The Prophet Muhammad was heard saying: 'The smallest reward for the people of paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a [Yemen]'." \n\nany muslim that goes to heaven will get this number of wives, its not neccessary that they are women from this life, almighty Allah will create them for every muslim beleiver "that enters heaven" because almighty Allah knows how much each man desires women and nothing can fill his needs ever except 72 wives.\n\nMoreover, No 72 is not a figure number its a real number, prophet Muhammad(PBUH) is inspired from almighty Allah he does'nt say figures just for making it look big, if he said something he is always right and correct with no doubt, i dont care what Diane Soyer said ... she knows nothing rather than taking video of women that are face covered only :)

It is well established that Muhammad married Aisha when she was nine.  Actually, the marriage was contracted when she was six, but Muhammad came and picked her up to live with him as his wife when she was nine.  \n\nThis was common back then.  In fact, it was another woman who suggested he take Aisha as his wife.  \n\nLater, he did have a concubine named Mariam from Egypt, a Christian, but I don't know if there are any historical records about her age.

I think you meant King Henry VIII. He had 6 (six) wifes. Full details about his wifes and cause of their death are given below: \n\n1.Queen Catherine of England née Catherine of Aragon (Spanish: Catalina de Aragón) (December 16, 1485 – January 7, 1536) was queen consort of England as Henry VIII of England's first wife. Henry tried to have their twenty-four year marriage annulled in part because all their male heirs apparent died in childhood, with only one of their six children, Princess Mary (later Queen Mary I) surviving as heir presumptive, at a time when there was no precedent for a woman on the throne. The Pope refused to allow the annulment of Henry's marriage to Catherine, which set off a chain reaction that led Henry to break with the Roman Catholic Church and his subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn in the hope of fathering a male heir to continue the Tudor dynasty.\n\n2. Queen Anne of England née Anne Boleyn, 1st Marchioness of Pembroke (ca. 1504-19 May 1536) second wife and Queen Consort of King Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elizabeth I.\n\nHenry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and marriage to Anne was part of the complex beginning of the considerable political and religious upheaval which was the English Reformation, with Anne herself actively promoting the cause of Church Reform. She wielded immense political influence and has been called "the most influential and important queen consort this country has ever had". \n\nShe is particularly remembered because she was beheaded on charges of adultery and treason on 19 May 1536. She was later celebrated as a martyr in English Protestant culture, particularly in the works of John Foxe.\n\n3.Queen Jane of England née Jane Seymour (born c. 1507/1508 – d. 24 October 1537) was the third wife of King Henry VIII of England. She died of post-natal complications following the birth of her only son, Edward VI.\n\n4.Queen Anne of England née Anne of Cleves also known as "The Flanders Mare" (see below) – was the fourth queen consort of Henry VIII of England from January 6, 1540 to July 9, 1540.\n\nAnne was born on September 22, 1515, at Düsseldorf, the daughter of John III, ruler of the duchy of Cleves, who died in 1538. Then her brother was Duke of Jülich-Cleves-Berg, bearing the promising epithet "the Rich". Her elder sister Sybille was married to John Frederick, Elector of Saxony, head of the Protestant Confederation of Germany, the "Champion of the Reformation". William was a Catholic personally, but the family politics made them suitable allies for Henry in the aftermath of the Reformation, and the match was urged on the king by his chancellor, Thomas Cromwell. The artist Hans Holbein the Younger was dispatched to paint a portrait of Anne, and Henry was pleased with the result. It was usual for court painters to be flattering in their portrayal of important people, and it is likely that Holbein covered up the evidence of Anne's smallpox scars. The portrait is currently displayed in the Louvre. Anne and Henry were 7th cousins twice removed.\n\n5.Queen Catherine of England née Catherine Howard (born between 1520 and 1525; died February 13, 1542) was the fifth queen consort of Henry VIII of England (1540-1542), and sometimes known by his reference to her as "the rose without a thorn." Her birth date and place of birth is unknown, (occasionally cited as 1521, probably in London). She was the daughter of Lord Edmund Howard, a poor younger son of 2nd Duke of Norfolk. Catherine married Henry VIII on July 28, 1540, at Oatlands Palace in Surrey, almost immediately after his divorce from Anne of Cleves was arranged. However, Catherine's marital conduct and past sexual history were known to be unchaste, and she was beheaded after less than two years of marriage on the grounds of treason.\n\n6.Queen Catherine of England née Catherine Parr (c.1512 – 7 September 1548), was the Queen Consort of Henry VI

Well, throughout history, there has been thousands.  Just about every culture had the own gods.  Greeks had over 40 gods, Egyptions had over 60 gods, and those are just the obvious ones.  What about the Inka's, and various American Indian cultures.  Even the middle east before Mohamed brought Allah and Jesus brought Christianity had hundreds of Gods... One for just about everything.  Exact numbers, I don't think any would ever be able to give you that, but I could be wrong, let's see what is posted (other than the Christians who say only one god, and muslims who say only one allah).

Well biblically: Father Abraham.  But, that isn't the question, is it?\n\nMulai Ismail (1646-1727)- By 1721 he was reputed to have 700 male descendents and over 350 female children.\n\nI know that doesn't answer the question about recent history.  I do know that John Tyler, former president of the United States, has the distinction of being the president  who fathered the most kids from two wives.

Not many horses, not many wives, not much wealth.\n\nKing Solomon completely mucked this up: 1 Kings 10-11\n-1,400 chariots, 12,000 horses\n-700 wives (usually for political reasons), 300 concubines\n-25 tons of gold PER YEAR\n\n\nNo, it doesn't say one wife. It says a king should not acquire a large number of wives or a large number of horses or a lot of money. He was supposed to write himself a copy of the law (and read it!).\n\nI guess the main point is many wives would be a distraction to the king from his devotion to the LORD. Also, in the ancient middle east the kings wives were considered a type of wealth, so I guess you could associate it with the money and horses (also of military importance). God didn't want the king to be self-relient (on military and wealth and power), but relient on Him.\n\nOT references to monogamy are pretty vague, however Adam, Abraham (sort of), and Moses (who wrote down these instructions for kingly conduct) had only one wife. God did not create many wives for Adam. Only one. His original plan was that a man and woman should become as if one body (Genesis 2:24).\n\nThe first record of polygamy Genesis 4:19 Lamech is an outsider, a decendent of Cain, who considered God would bless him for murdering young folks! This practice spread around, but was never considered good.

Okay. First of all you have to think in terms of the time period. In those days it was common to have several wives especially in the Arab tribes. \n\nMuhammad's (pbuh) first wife was Khadijah and she was quite a bit older than him. She was the wealthy daughter of a merchant who saw his ambitions as an orphan who deserved a better way of life. \n\nHe was married to several wives and the number is actually unclear. But during this time there were great famines in the country as well as there were many women who had been abandoned as prisoners of war and had lost their former families and tribes. And so many of the men would marry the women and support them as a means of survival rather than making them lowly slaves to be bought or sold. It was also a custom that once a woman reaches puberty(past the age of 9) she can't exactly be adopted because it was considered improper. So as a respect to these women, they were married with honor. Many of the marriages were not even consummated but it was a rspect to them and they were given a respectable place in society.\n\nHowever after a certain time period when the wars of the region had ended and prospered again, muslims adopted a new religious law that the men could only marry up to four wives. But the conditions to this law are very specific and legal. Firstly if a man in our modern day and age that is muslim in a muslim country and wishes to marry more than one wife must be extremely wealthy. He must be financially able to support each wife (and her children/future children) separately (they cannot reside together), and the first/second/third wife must agree to the additional union. So in other words its basically impossible for even a wealthy man to marry more than once because every person in the party must reach the same agreement. And in this day and age most men and women could not function in this way due to economical situations and cultural influences. But there are some rare cases of it occuring though usually it involves major political leaders or extremely wealthy and affluent men. \n\nMuhammad (pbuh) at the time was wealthy and had a big influence. But his main reason behind marrying so many was to teach to other Arabs to be less cruel to women and to support and strengthen their broken communities. He also adopted several orphaned children and gave most of his wealth to the cause of his faith in one God alone. He was a miraculous teacher and brought the Islamic world to life with his recitation of the Qu'ran and now Islam is the major religion in the world next to Christianity which is similar in scripture and origin.
