Prophet’s (صلى الله عليه و سلم) Marriage With Young Aisha by Areolad: 5:30pm On Feb 13, 2015 |
‘Aisha’s covenant of marriage was conducted when she was six years old, but the actual commencement of the marriage took place when she was nine-years of age. She was the only virgin he married. Marrying at such young age was not the exception in Arabia at that time. In fact many were married in the young age period of 9-12 when they were physically mature. Furthermore, had this been something degrading and immoral, the enemies of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) from the Pagans would have loved to use this against the character of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and ‘Aisha’s father (Abu Bakr, may Allah be please with him), the first one to believe the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and support his propagation of Islam. Not to mention this would have been a major block against the spread of Islam amongst the Arabs if the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) would appear as a man of “uncontrolled sexual drive.” This would have been obvious to resort to, especially when it is known that they accused the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) of many other things like being a magician, a poet, etc. The fact that they did not attempt even to consider this marriage as a tool against the integrity of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) stands as a strong irrefutable evidence that such marriages were of the norm, not the exception. In so many societies, it was even considered that the girl who does not get married before she reaches fifteen years of age as someone being “late” on the scale of marriage timing! In fact such marriages were common in Asia, East Europe, Spain and Portugal. On the other hand, it was known that one of the Pagans (Jubair bin Mut’im bin ‘Adiye) was interested to marry ‘Aaisha before her engagement to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم), but her mother (Umm Romaan, may Allah be please with her), rejected him. This proves that she was physically mature for marriage. Her family sought the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) because of his noble character as her mother asserted when she told her husband (Abu Bakr صلى الله عليه و سلم) of her intent. There was a great wisdom in her marriage whereby ‘Aaisha witnessed the revelation and the rulings of Islam pertaining to the most particular and private matters of women, transmitting that to the men and women of the world. She reported about 2100 narrations from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) covering rulings, worships, and transactions . She was the greatest woman scholar in Islam and she had many students of knowledge from the companions of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم). Source: Wedding to Four and Lawfully More – Dr Saleh As-Saleh rahimahullah Shaykh Al Aqeel: The Prophet, prayers and peace are upon him is more knowledgeable than us and that Kafir. It is said to this western Kafir: What’s going on with your daughters today? What is the condition of your daughters? O unfortunate one. Mourn over yourself O unfortunate one if you are going to mourn. The western statistics do not find a virgin in high school at all, never. These are their statistics. If there comes to you something reproachable from my defects; then this testifies to the fact that I am complete. We presented this to doctors who are specialists. Does it harm the young girl who has reached the age of puberty to marry early? (The answer) No. This does not harm her. This is what the doctors said. This affair is very normal. When the young girl reaches puberty even if she is nine years old for her to marry does not harm her at all; it does not harm her at all. This is not anything to be ashamed of. Shame is for the daughter to fornicate with her lover on her father’s and mother’s bed with no disapproval. This is something to be ashamed of. As for that which the natural inclination proves, and the intelligent people have agreed upon its permissibility then this is nothing to be ashamed of.

1. Did the prophet make love to/ romance Aisha before she clocked 9 when she was consummated? 2. Do you consider marriage to baby Aisha a must by a prophet who had a woman with him after the demise of his first wife? If yes, why? 3. Is it possible for a man to sleep with 11 women in one night and have the sexual strength of 30 men when he is not on aphrodisiac? If yes, what did Allah intend to achieve/gain/promote by giving the prophet such ability? 4. Can you follow the footstep of prophet Muhammad by marrying a girl of 9, an underage girl? 5. Can you give your girl child of 12 hand's out in marriage? 6. Do you think the prophet has the moral justification to stipulate maximum of four wives for muslims by Allah, when he married between 11 to 15 women? Pls answer with sincerity. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Unbias: 1. there was no record of the prophet SAW having an affair with her at that age. she was not recorded to have contacted any sickness or disease due to premature sexual activity or genital mutilation, which means her affair with the prophet was at the right time and she was mature. 2. the prophet's SAW life is an example to the whole world weven in their diversities. marrying Aisha at that age was an example to show Islam's approval of such marriages, provided she is mature. we have some gypsies of nowadays who marry at that age. I once read of the youngest grandma at 21 and she's not even muslim. 3. I dont know how true your point is in this...but I'm sure to make findings and reply later. 4 and 5 . in Islam, age is not a limitation or a yardstick to getting a woman married. my grandma till she died talked about bathing outside uncovered at age 18, without men noticing her features, what you will agree with me is impossible for a girl of 13 years nowadays. it shows the rapid growth and changes in women body chemistry as time flies. if by that time when I have a daughter, she is mature enough to marry at nine, then she will. same goes for marrying. and note, it was an example of Islamic approval, so it's not compulsory. 6. only Allah gives a particular stipulation for prophets on series of issues. there are some that are made obligatory to them and not to the followers. in that case, they bear the burden, without the help of any follower. likewise, there are advantages given to them over their followers. this is where the number of wives they marry is dictated by Allah alone. some like Adam married just one, some like Ibrahim married just two, some three, some like Suleiman married multiple in numbers, some like jesus married none. that is Allah's will and not even theirs. and furthermore, this butresses the fact that Muhammad's SAW marriage to the varieties are example of Islam's approval of the kinds of women muslims may marry, widows, divorced, virgins even when mature at tender age, unmarried, older women etc...as all these can be found in all of his marriages. I hope you understand...thanks. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Mr. Areolad, you are not doing anything better than further slandering the Prophet here. Your argument is so flawed that i couldn't resist responding. Of course, it is true that Muhammad never married and cohabited with a minor or immature, but according to mainstream Islamic narratives which your argument tend to appeal to, he did. Lets see the traditional understanding of this matter. Was Aisha a mature woman when she married the Muhammad, according to traditional Muslim narratives ? Sahih Bukhari>>Book of Good Manners Going by the above traditions, the answer is NO. A fully mature woman wont be playing with toys with her friends and hiding shyly upon her husband 's arrival. Was Aisha fully mature before consummating her marriage, according to traditional Muslim texts? Sunan Abu Dawud>>Book Of Marriage Am, sorry but you clearly contradict the same narratives you seek to appeal. This Hadith states otherwise. In any age or region, a six year old still playing with dolls cannot be emotionally, mentally or anatomically mature for marriage and sex even within the next three years. Admit, there is a problem with your Hadith, admit that even Sahih Hadith could be fabricated. Stop buying and selling cheap apologetics, get educated properly about your religious texts, stop slandering messengers of God with traditions of men and reform your theology or religious narratives. 2 Likes 1 Share |

usermane: usermane: usermane: The opinion in these articles is not mine but rather the two scholars whose names appear below each of the articles and the intent of posting them is not what you're thinking as most people including some Muslims do not understand the basis of the Prophet's( ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ)marriage to Aishah. If you have problem in the understanding of these two great scholars' opinion I implore you to seek knowledge rather than flawing the article out of ignorance and arrogance. |

Was She Really Six / Nine Years?! Imam Bukhari documents, narrated by 'Aisha herself, that she was married to the Prophet at the age of six in the 2nd year of Hijrah; and the marriage was consummated while she was 9years. Note: The age varies from 6 - 7, then 9 - 10 as far as Sunni different documentations are concerned. However, further investigations shows that: Exhibit 1: Imam Ibn Jarir Tabari (d. 310 A.H), wrote in his ‘History’: “In the time before Islam, Abu Bakr married two women. The first was Fatila daughter of Abdul Uzza, from whom Abdullah and Asma were born. Then he married Umm Ruman, from whom Abdur Rahman and Aisha were born. These four were born before Islam.” {Tarikh Tabari, vol. 4, p. 50.} It is a common knowledge that the holy Prophet propagated Islam for 23years. 13years in Makkah and 10years in Madinah. 'Aisha was said to be "six (6) years" in the 2nd year of Prophet's 10years in Madinah. So, how could this ever be when Imam Tabari reported 'Aisha along her elder brothers and sisters were born before Islam? That should make her at least be 15 - 16years in the 2nd year Hijri. Exhibit 2: Imam Wali-ud-Din Muhammad ibn Abdullah Al-Khatib in a brief biographical notes on the narrators of Hadith reports. He writes under Asma, the older daughter of Abu Bakr: “She was the sister of Aisha Siddiqa, wife of the Holy Prophet, and was ten years older than her. … In 73 A.H. … Asma died at the age of one hundred years.” { Mishkat al-Masabih, Edition with Urdu translation published in Lahore, 1986, vol. 3, p. 300–301.} Exhibit3.: Imam Ibn Kathir, in his book "Al-bidayya wal-nihaya," seconded this submission: “Asma died in 73 A.H. at the age of one hundred years. She was ten years older than her sister Aisha.”{Vol. 8, p. 346.} If 'Asma died in 73 A. H at the age of 100years, that will make her 27 years in 1H (first year of Hijrah). Since, she's 10years older than 'Aisha, in the 1st Hijri, 'Aisha's age should be 17years (27 - 10 = 17). And as agreed upon, she married the Prophet in the 2nd year of Hijrah, then she was 18years old then. ******************** Some Sunni scholars are hell-bent and desperately insisting that 'Aisha was six advancing their argument with the myth that only Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim were the most accurate book of tradition. They did this for two reasons: 1. To preserve and protect the claim of the "accuracy" of Sahih Bukhari. Admitting the age 6 is wrong is tantamount to finding fault in "almighty sahih al-Bukhari!" 2. To maintain the "status" of 'Aisha, according to them, being the "only virgin" the Prophet married. After all, a girl of 6years is a virgin?! Here, the intent is to prove her "spiritual purification". This second point is thrown into thrash bin by the revelation of Surah Tahrim (Quran chap. 66). 2 Likes 1 Share |
