Pop Legend Cat Stevens, who converted to lIslam many years ago and since then has been called Yusuf Islam, caused a big fuss in the media during a visit to Turkey.
.
One of the journalists from the Turkish news agency asked him the following question: "What do you say about Islam that you have now accepted which allows a man to marry four women? How can you logically justify this? How could you accept something like this as a westerner and an enlightened musician?" Yusuf Islam replied, "You claim to know my previous state. .
Before l became Muslim, I was with so many women that I don't even know how many there were. I wouldn't even know if I had children from these women. When I lead such a depraved life, you were thrilled by me. Now I have become Muslim and I'm only married to one woman. I don't intend to marry a second woman either.
.
Just as the Islamic order of life allows the man to marry up to four women, it also imposes on hima number of duties regarding women and children. In the west, there is no such responsibility.

A child doesn't know his father and a father leaves this world without even once seeing his children
