No religion in the world has been misinterpreted like Islam. And no prophet has been attacked like Mohammad. Many believe that Mohammad is the author of the Qur'an. They accuse him of being mad, a magician, a liar and a carnalist. In this essay I am going to emphasize on one subject which is the polygamy of Mohammed and the accusation of being a carnalist. First, I want to describe the social background concerning marriage in Arabia in the 6th century. Arabs used to marry at an early stage .Men usually married at the age of sixteen to eighteen. There was no consideration to the wealth. The poor and the rich used to marry at this age. Another thing is the polygamy. An Arab used to have up to 12 wives.
