A Significant Crisis Period in the Family Life of the Prophet: the Events of Īlāʾ and Takhyīr
Abstract
In addition to being a prophet sent to preach Islam, Muhammad was also a human being. As a result, he started a family like other people, got married and faced some problems in his family life. Some of these troubles arose because of the jealousy of his wives. The events of Ila and tahyir are one of the important crisis periods that the Prophet experienced regarding his family life. His pure wives caused some negative situations due to jealousy, and they caused the Prophet to forbid something that was halal for himself. Besides, a secret the Prophet gave to one of his wives and wanted her to keep was disclosed. In addition to these, his wives asked the Prophet to spend more for them. As a result of these events, the Prophet swore to stay away from his wives for a month, and as a result of this period, with the revelation of the verse of tahyir, he left his wives to choose between two options. They would either choose Allah, the Prophet and the Hereafter, or they would choose the world and leave the Prophet. These events and the verses that were revealed about them became an important turning point for both the Prophet and his wives.
