Introduction
In this book you will not find extensive arguments regarding Islamic judgments on polygamy, for I am no Islamic scholar. Nor will you find information on the benefits of polygamy for men who are overly sexually endowed or whose wives are barren or ill. All of that and more can be found in almost any general book on Islam written by Muslims.
What you will find in this book, insha’Allah, is how it feels to be in polygamy as a first wife. You will see how a wife’s life is turned upside down and changed overnight from a life that is familiar to one that is full of turmoil. You will find, insha’Allah, that polygamy presents an enormous trial for the first wife that is placed in it. You will also find, insha’Allah, that as difficult as polygamy may be, Allah, glory be to Him the Most High, may bless good to come from such a hardship.
