🇬🇧 The British singer who converted to Islam, Yusuf Islam, was quite a media sensation when he came to Turkey. A reporter asked him a question about marriage. Yusuf Islam's response left the reporter dumbfounded.
A reporter asked the British singer: "What do you say about the fact that in the Islamic faith you entered, a man can marry four women? I mean, how do you accept the logic of that? As a Western, enlightened singer, how did you accept this?"
Yusuf Islam says:
"You're saying you knew me in my former state. I can't even know how many women I was with before I became Muslim. I can't know if I even had children from them. You admired me while I was living such a low, sordid life. Now I've become Muslim. I'm married to one wife. I have no intention of a second marriage either. If the Islamic faith allows up to four, it also places the responsibility for them and their children on him. In the West that you admired, there's no such responsibility. Many children don't even know their fathers. And the father leaves this world without ever seeing his child."
