Summary Researchers point out Mohammed's divine inspiration, in tiers, also fits the needs of the day in the phases of establishing Islam and his budding Arab empire, a context which sometimes opposes present appearances. Thus allowing four wives then meant restricting polygamy, ironically with exceptions for pre-conversion marriages and for the Prophet himself, whose wives were also diplomatic alliances. Although certain Koranic passages encourage violence, both its text and Muhammed's own actions as leader, culminating in the triumphal take-over of Mecca and his Last Sermon, stress tolerance and peaceful means as preferable forms of Jihad, a term later incorrectly restricted to Holy War or even perverted to terrorism.
