The prayer as such has extraordinary power to make us attain to greater and greater heights of obedience and worship, which is quite obvious. Consider now how much more enriched it becomes, how greatly its efficacy increases in transforming us, when the prayer is performed in congregation. Indeed, in this one single act of prayer, Allah (SWT) has given us His choicest gift.

The Islamic institution of polygyny also takes into consideration the socio-psychological limitations inherent in man. Men generally get married to satisfy their physical and psychological desires for female companionship. However, a man may marry a woman when he is young and immature, and for various emotional reasons, may later find her unsuitable, unable to find contentment and happiness with her. Or a man may be married to a barren woman or a woman whose interests are very different from his.
