Charismatic Muslim preacher Abdullah “Aa Gym” Gymnastiar has taken a second wife.
Abdullah Gymnastiar, commonly referred to as Aa Gym, a hugely popular preacher and holy man, has shocked the nation, particularly its women, by choosing to exercise his right to take more than one wife. Not satisfied with long-term spouse Teteh Nini Gym three months ago married a former model from Bandung, Alfarini Eridani, or Rini, 37 years old, who is divorced with one three children and currently works at the sharia banking section of Bank Panin in Bandung. poskota
Abdullah “Aa Gym” Gymnastiar.
Gym, the head of the Darud Tauhid Islamic boarding school, and an often seen presence on television screens, explains that polygamy is a legitimate practice within Islam, sanctioned by God himself, but it’s not for every Tom, Dick, and Harry:
Polygamy is clearly allowed by God, but it is not recommended. Polygamy can be done in certain ways as an emergency exit.
(Poligami ini jelas hal yang dibolehkan oleh Allah, tapi tidak dianjurkan. Poligami dibolehkan dengan cara-cara tertentu sebagai emergency exit.)
It is not clear what exactly is the situation from which Gym is seeking an emergency exit.
Gym admits that his decision has upset a lot of people, especially women. He says that the two injunctions which his legion of followers most often convey to him are, from men: don’t get involved in politics; and from women: don’t have more than one wife. He says he has already discussed political issues, like the RUU Pornografi debate, because pornography is something which damages the nation, he feels bound to discuss it.
For polygamy he says that many people in Indonesia regard it as an always negative thing. Most women are not able to accept the matter, it hurts them, he says, but there is a small group of women who can. Those who criticise polygamy, he says, should remember that it is God’s law. mediaindo

Hi,
AA Gym has an Organization called MQ:Managemen Qolbu.
Now people(not me) said: MQ: Management Qontol
🙂
Peace!
The God Says NO!!!!
Dear God, grant us wealth,
God says NO, I already prepare wealth in the earth that you ought to explore!
Dear God, Grant us patience,
God says, Patience is your tibulation to conquer!
Dear God grant us the teaching og loving each other,
God says, Ah, at last you undertand what I want to.
Relax everybody, AA Gym also a human. Human is placed of much sin. It’s normal if AA made mistakes.
Poligami is a choice, and AA chose to do it. If poligami is a mistake, AA will receive all consequnces. Men and women hate him, not only Aa himself, but also all MQ Management Qolbu atributes. His fans will decrease, just few will continue to hear his advices (according to the comments in this website)
The fact is AA sacrifice himself for bigger things. We do not know that until we found those.
Aa sacrifice his popularity by doing poligami, so he don’t love with popularity.
By doing poligami, women and men would not praise him by best precher anymore, so he don’t love with any adoration.
AA’s action are examinations for his fans and his ex fans also himself.
If the truth come from an ugly man, so we must receive and do that.
by doing poligami, Aa receive bleesing of disguisse. Fewer people will come to DT, so he can concentrate to his families, preparing the new babies. More candidates to struggle the Aa’s dreams (besides poligami off course)
Sorry if this comment not match with your opinion. Just looking from another windows, will make us wisely.
Live like a parked cars guard (tukang parkir)………….
when cars leave him alone, there is no pain in his mind.
It’s time for Aa do that concept. While his fans leave him so……..
It’s time for Aa ex fans do that concept. While they do not attend the Aa forum they must find the similar forum.
Polygamy: it is legal and not a bad thing in Islam teaching, useless to debate as the boss, Mr M also has many wives. Why all of you never complain him?

Only if you meet the conditions laid down in AL Quran, which are:
Time of war, inability to be fair to the orphans of that war, the wives must be war widows, and being fair to the additional wife or wives.
Allah tells us that it is impossible to be fair between wives, therefore even if you meet all the other conditions it is still impossible to meet that one.
Brother and sisters,
Khallas, mafi muskilla…..
Atmost a good faith………it is halal.
It is not right by telling someone’s err or bad. We are Moslems and talk only when we are certainly right, and according to Qur’an.
Allah Kareem…
And Eid Mubarak, Kullu Am Wa Antum Bikhoir…
Salam my brothers and sisters. Humblly I’d just like to ask all of you to look at any kind of problems with clear heart and clear mind. and one thing I suggest always take al Quran and al hadist as our source to solve those kind of problem in our life.
I’ve read all your comments and I think if all my brothers and sisters understand completely about “what is Islam?” and “what does Islam teaches us to do?” also “what the story behind those leasson?” Maybe this arguementation about polygamy will never happened. Nobody will protest or argue why our lovely preache called Aa Gym did polygamy or married for the second time.
I obviously understand that not all of us have the same knowledge or understanding about Islam but before we judge somebody else with our limited knowledge or understanding about Islam PLEASE look at ourself and please don’t say any of unappropiate language because that is no presenting Islam as arrahman and arrahim religion. as a matter of fact if we look at most of cuntries that has majority Muslim population. They have issued rules or legislation to permitt or legalize prostitution as we realize that kind of bussinese benefit the goverment but extremely destroy our akidah “our iman to ALLAH”.
Now my biggest question is why our lovely brothers and sisters insistly protest about poligamy or make it like that is the biggest problem that we have right now but why you never strongly protest to our goverment, our president about prostitution. why something that clearly Allah say halal we try to make it looked like haram. and why something that clearly Allah say haram we try to make it looked like halam. May Allah save us from became one of those kind of people.
AA, if you are a goat , I’ll call you BANDOT, monkeys have a long tail at the back and you have a long tail at the front.
AA, hopefully you did it for avoiding zinah and affair.
And hopefully also people who mocked you here is better than you.
I can see that most of the commentators here are NOT Muslims. If your comments are RUDE (and even INSULTING), well I can say it is unargueably understandable. You won’t understand the exact meaning of polygamy because you are NOT Islam-Tauhid believer. It takes a deep discussion of it with reliable sources, like my Murabbi at Liqo’.
I can mention some names you can refer to concerning this issue (or other issues in ISLAM): Arifin Ilham, Luthfiah Sungkar, Didin Hafiduddin, Anwar Sanusi, Adian Husaini, Athian Ali Dai, Miftah Faridl, Anis Matta, Habieb Riziq, HNW, Tifatul Sembiring, Saleem Al-Jufri, Quraish Shihab, Yusuf Mansyur, Dien Syamsuddin, Hasyim Muzadi, etc.
Last but not least. If you argue on something pls DO NOT use your hate (or anger) before your head. You won’t think clearly and objectively. Salaam.
In the Koran states that man are allowed to marry till four and none of you idioits have the right to comment on that. If he wishes to marry up to four and he can afford it that is his choice because at the end of the day he will hv to answer to his actions.
By talking about him won’t do all of you idiots any good either. You should focus on your life instead.
Once again I will state, that multiple marriage as stipulated in Al Quran needs to meet certain conditions, none of which have been met here! Go get you Quran and read it my friend!
I can’t understand why so many of you are upset and angry with this man.
Again, I think it is actually better if he just keeps a mistress, so then only he and the mistress will bear the sins.
What is this? So your’e telling me that zina between the 2 of them is better than having polygamy, something which is halal and allowed by God?
What, just by marrying another lady has degraded and suddenly made Aa Gym a bad person?
It doesn’t change anything. And neither should it change your perspectives towards him.
Indonesia is not in war torn country although natural disaster creates many women to be homeless/widowed/no sense of hope or direction. That’s where aa gym and other men should steps in to marry, to shelther/to protect the innocence rob from them. That’s what you would want to consider.
Sexual ill exist but if you are strong men with good faith, such feelings can make you even be in charge of your manhood. So, be take charge and repent more rather than creates some more social ills as a consequence of your lust decisions to marry.
I could only foresee this from aa gym point of view: marry woman for 4 things: her wealth, her family status, her beauty/her religion.
It’s interesting to note which one in your thinking lies in this? Should have been applicable to first wife because you are taking a lifetime partner. But a second or third or fourth does not require those criteria otherwise.
I don’t understand Indonesian now a days. They are plain stupid or just plain ignorant to their religion or custom.
I don’t think this guy did a wrong thing at all. And none of us has a single right to justify what he did, coz none of us come closer to what what he did. have you ever think how many family helped by his system (daarut tauhid)? Beside he is not married a young virgin, he married a widow with 3 children.
I assume for those who are say bad things about him here just jealous, because one can not do it, or one is disappointed. why are you disappointed?
NOthing that he did should disappoint you, you did not give him live, never give him an air to breath, so why should you be disappointed?
strange Indonesian…. very2 strange……
I bet Aa Gym never have a feeling to what ever anybody says in this forum. He does not live a life base on this kind of things 🙂
Grow up guys, open your eyes, there are better things to do than just mocking this guys. for Muslim, did you pray 5 times a day yet? for other, how many times you pray for your self or your family… huh…
cheers….

Well Joey Indo, after reading your comments you have confirmed your statement above. Well done!
Peace
Very well said Mohammed Khafi, that is exactly what I mean. So it’s confirmed. A lot of Indonesian Muslim already far from what they are supposed to follow.
I am agree with your first comment.
But rather than just said this in public like this (not recomended).
“Shame on you Aa Gym…”
You better go directly to the person and say this in his face. Maybe you can know better, the reason why he did that action? I never remember that Rasulullah SAW ever teach anybody to talk bad behind one back.
If you did already, my bad. 🙂
I am afraid if I say more it will just going nowhere. Just trying to remind everyone that you have better things to do than mocking at ones life or be a judge.
If you don’t like what ones did, go directly to him and tell what is in your mind to his face.
Peace.
He has right to marry again and it is permitted by God law but how is his 1st wife feeling? At least his kids? How about “Jagalah hati jangan kau sakiti”? Or his wife and kids are happy? Or I am not a good moslem? I do not know. Only God knows. Forgive me oh God.
Askum All Readers,
If you are a Muslim, truly Allah SWT fearing Muslim and not just Muslim by birth, I guess you don’t even have an iota of right to question polygamy. Simply because it is ‘permissible’ and for AllAH SWT sake, it is HIS supreme law. Who are you to question AA’s wife whilst you yourself would probably have committed a bigger sin to critise or comment.
Just because it has yet to happen to you, it gives you no divine right to say whatever has been said about AA’s marriage.
I’m ashamed of you, fellow Muslims debating something that is within the right of a Muslim, while you should all fight for all the mungkar that happens every second perhaps in your neighbourhood less your home.
Mazli,
You talk like somebody who has never read Al Quran, only followed your mislead teachers instructions:
The Verse that allows polygamy “was revealed after the battle of Uhud in which many Muslims were killed, leaving widows and orphans for whom due care was incumbent upon the Muslim survivors.”
The translation of the verse is as follows: “If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then (marry) only one”¦” (Qur’an 4:3)
From this verse a number of facts are evident:
That polygamy is neither mandatory, nor encouraged, but merely permitted.
That the permission to practice polygamy is not associated with mere satisfaction. Rather, it is associated with compassion towards widows and orphans in a time of war, a matter that is confirmed by the atmosphere in which the verse was revealed.
That dealing justly with one’s wives is an obligation. This applies to housing, food, clothing, kind treatment”¦etc., for which the husband is fully responsible. If one is not sure of being able to deal justly with them, the Qur’an says: “then (marry) only one.” (Qur’an 4:3)
This verse, when combined with another verse in the same chapter, shows some discouragement of such plural marriages.
The other verse plainly states: “You are never able to be fair and just between women even if it is your ardent desire”¦” (Qur’an 4:129)
As fairness and justice between two wives is a requirement for polygamous marriage and Allah Himself tells you that “you are never able to be fair and just between women even if it is your ardent desire”
Is there something not clear in Allah’s words for you?
Peace
Mazli,
You better listen to Mohammed Khafi’s explanation about what actually mention in Al Quran if you have never read one.
Salam.

Once again: As far as I know, polygamy is allowed only in certain situations and it has the intention to help those women need protection against violence (in any form and usually done by men) and against poverty. The polygamy is not allowed to protect our (men’s) “little brother” from suffering of sex.
Who is now “mungkar”?
If one holds, that debating about the Qur’an is a sin, so maybe it is helpful if he tries first to use his common sense (if he has), before caughin out such expectoration.
Some times I’m ashamed that many of my species seem to fail their reputation as thinking the most intelligent species in this world.
One word to describe polygamy, PERVERSION and anyone who practice it is a PERVERT.
I think we can’t speak too worst about him. Because we are not a good people. Everything that he do is him choice. I believe that he was thought about that. We must regard it. Only Allah knowing there are right and wrong.
Hey hey guys….
It is his right to have wives more than one since he is a Moslem. One thing we know for sure, his first wive is not happy. Second, at least he love is strong since he is willing to sacrifice his business just and to let his first wife down to marry her.
If you don’t like it, just stop listening to him or buying his products.
shame on you Guys,
God has clearly allowed a man to marry more than one women. So what’s wrong with him. Can you Guys find opposite statement from God about polygamy issue. No, hell, no!
People who Blame Aa for his second married, i guees is not (maybe never) people who listen to him. God’s statements are value. Who am I? And who are you trying to questioning God’s Law. And for me, if i am sure i am right i dont care what people will say. Especially when the people asking, questioning, urge me to break the Law.
Not like Nashara and Jahuud, preach in Islam is an instruction to all muslims. It ain’t to be in someone’s list of fans. Preacher doesn’t care to be or not to be, or being dislike. Prophet Muhammad SAW himself had a large sum of people who hate him. From people like us: who judge, love and like someone by something questionable. I like Aa, watched and heard him, whether he is just a teenage, old man, married r, what elses as long as it is not break the principles in Islam.
Patung just telling, make some copy-paste of news. Some opinion maybe, but he is not judging. I am not a very good muslim myself. But to say something bad to someone who act based by his religion, is a veryyy baaad attitude.

Jaka tingkir,
you’re right, we should mind our business. But AA Gym is a celeb, and people will always comment anything a celeb does, especially if his deed is arguable.
Allow me a humble question:
How do you know, that Teh Ninih isn’t hurt? Did you talk with her about it? If yes, do you sure she tell you the truth? I didn’t read much about this case, because I just mind my own business. But as far as I know, she was and is (according to her statements) not very amused.
