prophet's marriage to hazrat ayesha- questions

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

Chintu, what do you intend to gain out of knowing the reason for this? Or what is the reason you are asking the question. It definitely has to do with you thinking about it as right or wrong.

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

This is a major point of contention within the faith. I dont think there is conclusive evidence either way. What we say is that when it concerns the Messenger (PBUH) we hold our tongues less we accidentally say something untoward and enter into the realm of kufr.

For a muslim, this is enough.

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

He did not marry a 6 or 9 or even a 15 year old girl. That is just people creating their own version.

If you research a bit you can find that the girl was 17.
And about people claiming he married someone 40 + and he was 15 years younger
is not true. His wife was 28 at the time of marriage. that is 3 years older than him.

Sources for all people plz.

People said SHE was 40 (marrying 4th time?) and HE was 25... which is a KNOWN fact.

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??


The 'difference' in ages is said to be '15' not his actual age to be 15.

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

Well lets start by this:

1 - State the reasons you think it is wrong in this present age.

2 - State the reasons you think it was wrong during that age (1400 years ago in the Arabian society).

I assure you I will discuss without any mud-slinging however I do demand a debate along sensible lines. And before we go forward you have to agree that norms of societies back then and now are not the same and it would not be fair to compare them as if the passage of time has nothing to do with it.

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

...and still there is no proof of this statement of her young age anyways. just folklore created by those who want to malign him and thus his message

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

ya its become a **known fact **in the subcontinent because our Mullas love to exagerate everything.

if she was 40 and you believe that the Prophet had 5 kids with her.
Was she having kids up until 47-50 years of age?

in pakistan our beloved province of Punjab (mostly) has produced some of the most logically deprived mullas, who exxagerate and add on to our religion for the love of islam

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

GenSec, how old was she and how was he when they married? Your sources?

Some women give birth well in their 60s and 70s... what's wrong with that? It's a GOD given thing not personal choice....

The asinine morons question their own history as if it was fairytale yet you don't have any evidence to back your own assumptions and imaginary vision.

If we are to deny all historical facts then you must start from yourself, how were you born? Is your father really your father? Why because your mother says so? She could be lying? If these mullahs can, if early Muslims can? The history you know about your own family, is it true? Or exxagerated? The history you know about your city, is it really true? The history about your country, this world, and everything else. Is it really true? Of course, your confused mind wasn't there to watch it so maybe someone JUST cooked it up? Thats a possibility isn't it?

The fitna and deceptive nature of Qadiyanism, Parvaizism and lies by Shias have put the whole Muslim ummah in doubt.

They question ISLAM as if Islam is NOW being revealed to them and everything before that was BS! The muslims following Islam for 1400 years were idiots and stupid, they didn't know any better, right?

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

*Dear Chintu. Prophet Mohammad (May Peace Be Upon Him) never married a child. Hazrat Bibi Ayesha Siddiqah (RA) was an adult when she wed Prophet Mohammad (May Peace Be Upon Him). Please correct your "data base". You too kumar!
Good Luck to you guys on your quest for REALITY. *

Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3310:
'A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 65
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that ‘Aisha remained with the Prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death)." what you know of the Quran (by heart)’
Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88
Narrated 'Ursa:
The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).

What is the importance of this book in islam???

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

I find MR. Chintu Bhopali to be a clever disguised person who came here to put a rift and with the intention to make muslims fight with each other....

His intentions appear not to be honest and he is, in no way, looking for an honest answer to say the least.

I conclude this on the basis of him ignoring all the replies to refute his assumptions which he *'heared' *from someone who did not have references himself.

When provided with the scholarly view and the video proof in the rebuttle of his claim, he simply dodged the situation and jumped to a different topic on finding the authentication of a SAHEEH book of hadeeth.

If Mr. Chintu Bhobali is truely seeking what he says he is doing, then he should come up with an answer to the video link of a scholar's lecture provided above.

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

Today's standards that define "childhood" are very different from those that existed 1500 years ago. Look at the cultural differences between TODAY and 1500 years ago. The traditions back then were a lot different than those that exist today. Even today, east and west don't exactly look eye to eye when it comes to cultural and moral traditions.

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

rubbish.. how many of the prophet's own followers were married to 9 year olds? if it was the 'norm' then why weren't there other instances like it?

Face it.. the Persians who concocted these stories only wanted to malign our noble prophet.. there intent wasn't to record accurate history but to create a disparaging one based on their hatred for Islam.

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

I think this is the crux of the matter. The intention is not as innocent as has been presented.

Re: why prophet married a 6 year old girl??

Many of u will like to think that just because they r human or they r Muslims they will be able to understand every action of Mohammed Pbuh but the question is how many will like to live their lives they way Mohammed Pbuh did.

If he wanted then he could have gone for any girl he wanted in Arabia but he didnt .If he was a pedlophile then he could have left an army of young wives but he didnt.

His intention of marrying a 6 or 9 years old is known to Allah.If he was bad then Hazarat Aiasa might have commited sucide but she didnt.Instead she was always praised as the Mother of belivers not by me or peoples but by God him self in Quran.

Her act of being in the war of Jumul shows how strong she was regardless of whether it was wrong or right.A rape victim can not show such strength.She was pious n as a Muslim u have to follow wut Quran says about her n not the logic of those who r trying hard to prove that they r descendents of Apes.

In Quran Allah says that he will only change peoples faith if they clean their hearts.

Hearts which hold hate inside them will never be able to understand wisdom of Islam .
