Here is an excellent and detailed discussion of the marriage of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to Zainab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her). Islamophobes, like the ignorant pagan Arabs before them, have tried to use this episode as a way to attack the character of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), but it is all for naught. When one analyzes the facts, there is nothing controversial.

Zainab(ra) was hardly some poor woman who was used and abused. The problem was Zainab(ra) wasn’t interested in her husband Zaid(ra) who was a former slave and she was from nobility. This caused a problem in their marriage and they divorced. She then as a single woman was married again to the Prophet(saw)… I’m honestly failing to see the controversy of someone being married.

First, Prophet Muhammad(saw) is from nobility. Quraish was one of the major tribes in Arabia. Of that their top “branch” was banu Hashim (i.e. his family) If they had become Muslim in the beginning than almost all of Arabia would’ve become Muslim as they were respected for religious matters (long story how this came to be)
Next, the ayat is referring to Zaid(ra) not wanting to be with her anymore and wanting to divorce here your using one translation (which you never want to make rulings with):
https://www.islamawakened.com/quran/33/37/default.htm
Finally, she offered to marry him before Zaid(ra) and he turned her down. And she could’ve rejected the marriage as other women did with the Prophet(saw). I’m just not seeing the controversy in marriage.

As far as women’s right to divorce and your idiotic strawman, as already stated, divorce is never encouraged in Islam, but it is allowed for a variety of reasons. Here is how Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmed Kutty explains it:
“Having said this, divorce however, must not be considered a closed door. There are genuine cases when divorce is the only option available. Here are a few valid reasons:
1- Physical, mental, or emotional abuse or torture. When one of the spouses becomes abusive and inflicts physical, mental, or emotional torture, and is not willing to change by taking practical measures through therapy or counseling, then it is a valid reason for seeking divorce, for the Islamic principle states, “There shall be no inflicting or receiving of harm.”Zhulm (injustice) is not tolerated in Islam, regardless of who the perpetrator is.
2- Failure to fulfill the objectives and purposes for which marriage was initiated. This can be utter incompatibility between the partners, which may be expressed by their irreconcilable differences in temperaments, likes, and dislikes.
3- Marital infidelity. This can be a major cause for dissolution of marriage, for marriage is built on trust and confidence. Its main purpose is to preserve the chastity and modesty of those involved. Once this foundation is eroded and undermined and there is no chance to restore the same, then divorce is the way to go.
4- Failure of the husband to provide. When the man, who is considered the provider and maintainer of the family, fails to shoulder his responsibilities and the wife decides that she cannot continue tolerating his shirking of responsibility, this is grounds for divorce.
Any one of the above-mentioned reasons can be considered as a valid ground for divorce in Islam. If in a legitimate case warranting a divorce a husband refuses to divorce his wife, then she is certainly justified by Islamic Law to approach the proper legal authorities to get a divorce: The judgment of divorce thus rendered by such authorities can be deemed as valid in Islam.”

The ayat is not saying that Zaid(ra) had sex with her and “got what he desired from her.”
It’s saying when he got what he desired (i.e a divorce) she was then married to the Prophet(saw) Remember at the beginning of the verse:
“And when you said…”Keep your wife and fear God.”
When you accompany with hadith he(ra) was complaining of Zaynab(ra) to the Prophet(saw) because of her flaunting her noble status to him. The Prophet(saw) kept telling him to keep her and fear God. This strained their marriage and he didn’t even want to be with her and then they divorced. She was then married to the Prophet(saw).
Finally Paulus, to answer your question yes a woman can divorce a man if she is no longer attracted to him. Just, in that case, she returns her dowry to him:
Al-Bukhaari (5273) narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the wife of Thaabit ibn Qays came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allaah, I do not find any fault with Thaabit ibn Qays in his character or his religious commitment, but I do not want to commit any act of kufr after becoming a Muslim.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to her, “Will you give back his garden?” Because he had given her a garden as her dowry. She said, “Yes.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to Thaabit: “Take back your garden, and divorce her.”
According to Ibn Maajah (2056) she said: “I cannot stand him.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.

1. Reconciliation with an abuser, however, is far different. Reconciling with an abusive partner depends completely on the abuser proving his or her reliability, which could take years—if it happens at all. Separation from an abusive spouse is likely to be long-term.
https://www.gotquestions.org/abuse-divorce.html
2. A Christian Domestic Discipline (CDD) marriage is simply a traditional, male-led, Christian marriage which utilises aspects of Domestic Discipline. It is set up according to Biblical standards.
Therefore, in a CDD marriage:
The husband is the head of the household, whilst the wife is submissive to her husband as if the Lord Himself was her husband. See Eph. 5:22-24.
The husband is to love his wife as himself, and as Christ loved the church. He is to be a servant, and leads by example. He is to lay down his life for her. See Eph. 5:25-29.
The wife is to reverence her husband. She is to obey him, so long as his instructions are not in opposition to God’s commands. See Titus 2:5, Acts 5:29.
Discipline:
In CDD, the husband has authority to discipline the wife. The wife does not have authority to discipline her husband. See Gen. 3:16

Women can initiate divorce
The case you quoted him is referring to a woman who has no reason she wants to divorce. Realistically, there’s usually a reason a woman wants to divorce her husband, examples include abuse, cheating etc. His view completely:
https://beta.islamqa.info/en/answers/1859/examples-of-acceptable-reasons-for-asking-ones-husband-for-khula
https://islamqa.info/en/26247
The case of remarriage
The case your referring to where she takes another husband is not the first time they divorce. It’s when they marry and divorce with a 3 month waiting period. Then marry and divorce with a 3 month waiting period. And then marry and divorce with a 3 month waiting period. So that’s a 9 month waiting period along with however long the relationship was.
“And if he has divorced her (the third time), then she is not lawful unto him thereafter until she has married another husband. Then, if the other husband divorces her, it is no sin on both of them that they reunite, provided they feel that they can keep the limits ordained by Allâh. These are the limits of Allâh, which He makes plain for the people who have knowledge.” [al-Baqarah 2:230].
But here since there seems to be so much commentary on divorce correct me if I’m wrong but according to the NT a divorce can only happen in the case of adultery (Matt 19:9) Fair enough, so is spousal abuse not a reason for divorce in Christendom and does she have to stay with her abusive husband?

To begin welcome to the blog. After reading both your post you have several misconceptions I believe as follows:
1. Allah or Elohim
These two words are actually related to one another.
https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?t=kjv&strongs=h426
Follow the word etymology section to here:
https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H433&t=KJV
At Gesenius’ Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon you’ll see Allah there. That’s from Jewish and Christian scholars
But moving on, Muslims don’t have to “choose” anything as the Qur’an says:
They claim: “Be Jews or Christians and you will be guided.” Tell them: “Never! We follow the religion of Abraham. The one who was solely dedicated toward the Truth, and he was never someone who equated others with God.” All of you say: “We believe in God and what has been sent down to us. And in what has been sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the twelve tribes. As well as what’s been given to Moses and Jesus, and in what’s been given to all the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we have submitted to God in Islam… God’s dye is what we’ve been baptized in and who can stain better than God? We are His worshippers…” (2:135-137)
2. Man can’t judge and no religion is greater
Where does the Bible state this as you failed to provide any evidence for your conclusion. On the contrary, the Bible like Islam appoints judges over the people on multiple occasions. Hence the whole chapter called “Judges” lol. One simply needs to have read what the Bible has written about Moses(as) to see you said isn’t correct.
A. The Torah literally means the “Law or Instruction”
So to say God does not decree a law for mankind is illogical. Part of guidance is to give laws as every society has. If something is from God naturally he would tell us the best way to live in all aspects of our lives as human beings. Now other examples.
B. Moses abrogates one of God’s laws concerning inheritance without penalty. (Here’s a link to my article for full context)
https://quranandbibleblog.wordpress.com/2018/04/16/the-concept-of-abrogation-in-scripture/
C. Jethro tells Moses(as) to appoint judges to render rulings because he was receiving too many complaints from the Children of Israel.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+18%3A13-27&version=GNT
D. Jesus(as) and law
If Jesus(as) fullfilled the Law by definition he believes in what i’ve previously posted. On top of that he gives laws himself.
The actual followers of Satan are those who put mans laws above God’s. In conclusion if God sent guidance to mankind there can only be one true religion.
So tell them: “‘We believe in God and in what’s been sent down to us. As well as what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Twelve Tribes of Israel. We believe in the privilege of following the commands to live by which were given to Moses, Jesus, and all the prophets from their Lord. We do not make a distinction between any of them. It’s Him alone that we submit ourselves to as Muslims.” Whoever follows another religion or way of life other than Islam, it will never be accepted from them. They will be one of the failures in the Next Life. (3:84-85)

i just remembered something, the jews still exist and they dont believe nt is their “new covenant”
So lets see what a jew from reddit has to say about law and judgement :
Judaism is based on following the Torah, but the Torah doesn’t cover all cases. The Torah is very sparse. For instance, the Torah tells us not to work on Shabbat, but doesn’t tell us what “work” means. The Torah is the Law of our community, it isn’t a discretionary belief system. So it’s necessary for us to understand how the Torah applies in different situations and be consistent in our rulings. The Torah is like our Constitution, and Oral Law an ongoing saga of our Supreme Court.
The Torah shows us that Moses used to sit in judgement for Israel. They would bring cases before him, and he would pronounce judgements. We read (Ex. 18:13):
The next day Moses sat as judge for the people, while the people stood around him from morning until evening.
None of this case law is recorded in the Torah. Instead it was pronounced by Moses and remembered by the people. Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, advises Moses to train others to act as judges. So that’s what Moses did (Ex. 18:25-26):
Moses chose able men from all Israel and appointed them as heads over the people, as officers over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. And they judged the people at all times; hard cases they brought to Moses, but any minor case they decided themselves.
None of their decisions are recorded either. This case law was known by the community and known intimately by scholars of law. Moses trained disciples and his disciples trained disciples. We are told in the Torah that we are to consult judges when we are confused and to follow their rulings (Deut. 17:8-11):
If a judicial decision is too difficult for you to make between one kind of bloodshed and another, one kind of legal right and another, or one kind of assault and another—any such matters of dispute in your towns—then you shall immediately go up to the place that the Lord your God will choose, where you shall consult with the levitical priests and the judge who is in office in those days; they shall announce to you the decision in the case. Carry out exactly the decision that they announce to you from the place that the Lord will choose, diligently observing everything they instruct you. You must carry out fully the law that they interpret for you or the ruling that they announce to you; do not turn aside from the decision that they announce to you, either to the right or to the left.
None of the decisions of any of these judges are recorded. This case law was spoken and remembered. Decisions were made and precedence was set. Rulings were made based on past rulings which were based on still older rulings. A tradition of law necessarily was established and built upon, but none of it is written in the Torah.
When Israel went into Exile and returned, they were led by Ezra the Scribe and his companions. These individuals understood how the Torah was applied and provided informed interpretations to the people. We read (Neh. 8:5-8):
Ezra opened the book [i.e. Torah] in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. Then Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God, and all the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” lifting up their hands. Then they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground. Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, helped the people to understand the law, while the people remained in their places. So they read from the book, from the law of God, with interpretation. They gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.
Where are these important interpretations which led to understanding written? They are not written in the Hebrew Bible. They were spoken and remembered.
The Torah was given to a community, and a community grew and lived with it. If a young Jew wishes to know how the Torah is to be practiced, where is he to turn but to his elders? Where does a child learn about the Torah but from a parent? We need to understand the living community and history of Judaism to understand and follow the Torah.
Ezra the Scribe and his companions taught the Torah. They taught how it was to be applied and understood. During the Second Temple period, scribal and legal schools were established which continued to use the tradition inherited and taught by Ezra and his companions. After the Second Temple fell and the Jewish people were dispersed, this collective and communal knowledge was in danger of being lost. Rabbi Judah the Prince, in response to this situation, authorized the writing of a compilation of Jewish legal understandings. This compilation was published in 200 CE and is known as the Mishnah. Its origin is made clear by the text (Pirkei Avot 1:1-3):
Moses received the Torah from Sinai and gave it over to Joshua. Joshua gave it over to the Elders, the Elders to the Prophets, and the Prophets gave it over to the Men of the Great Assembly [i.e. Ezra and his companions]. They [the Men of the Great Assembly] would always say these three things: Be cautious in judgement. Establish many pupils. And make a safety fence around the Torah.
Shimon the Righteous was among the last surviving members of the Great assembly. He would say: The world stands on three things: Torah, the service of G‑d, and deeds of kindness.
Antignos of Socho received the tradition from Shimon the Righteous. He would say: Do not be as slaves, who serve their master for the sake of reward. Rather, be as slaves who serve their master not for the sake of reward. And the fear of Heaven should be upon you.
This section of the Mishnah continues to follow the teaching of the Torah to the time of Rabbi Judah the Prince. Following the publication of the Mishnah, scholars began to comment on it. Around 500 CE, the generations of commentary on the Mishnah was compiled alongside the Mishnah to produce the Babylonian Talmud. Jews then began commenting on the Talmud, and thus our Oral Law forever continues as the living discussion of the Jewish community.
The Jewish community and its history must be understood to fully understand the written Torah. They go together and are bound together throughout time. We can’t discount Jewish tradition, nor is it good scholarship to do so. We necessarily must appeal to an instructor when we are learning a subject. The Talmud records that a non-Jew once asked Rabbi Hillel (1st Century BCE) to teach him only the Written Torah and not the Oral Law. Hillel began to teach the man the Hebrew alphabet. Hillel wrote the letters, and then told the man the names of the letters. The next day the man came back again. Hillel wrote the letters, and Hillel told the man the wrong names for the letters. The man protested that this didn’t make sense. Hillel noted from this that one cannot understand the written alphabet without oral instruction. For the illiterate man to learn the written alphabet, he would have to trust the oral teaching of Hillel. So too must the man trust Hillel in regards to the Oral Law if he wishes to truly understand the Written Torah.
