+obafemi okechu Please read the following; Writing about Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, the Orientalist scholar W Montgomery Watt wrote: "Of all the world's great men, none has been so much maligned as Muhammad." His quote seems all the more poignant in light of the Islamophobic film Innocence of Muslims, which has sparked riots from Yemen to Libya and which, among other slanders, depicts Muhammad as a paedophile. This claim is a recurring one among critics of Islam, so its foundation deserves close scrutiny. Critics allege that Aisha was just six years old when she was betrothed to Muhammad, himself in his 50s, and only nine when the marriage was consummated. They base this on a saying attributed to Aisha herself (Sahih Bukhari volume 5, book 58, number 234), and the debate on this issue is further complicated by the fact that some Muslims believe this to be a historically accurate account. Although most Muslims would not consider marrying off their nine-year-old daughters, those who accept this saying argue that since the Qur'an states that marriage is void unless entered into by consenting adults, Aisha must have entered puberty early. They point out that, in seventh-century Arabia, adulthood was defined as the onset of puberty. (This much is true, and was also the case in Europe: five centuries after Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, 33-year-old King John of England married 12-year-old Isabella of Angoulême.) Interestingly, of the many criticisms of Muhammad made at the time by his opponents, none focused on Aisha's age at marriage. According to this perspective, Aisha may have been young, but she was not younger than was the norm at the time. Other Muslims doubt the very idea that Aisha was six at the time of marriage, referring to historians who have questioned the reliability of Aisha's age as given in the saying. In a society without a birth registry and where people did not celebrate birthdays, most people estimated their own age and that of others. Aisha would have been no different. What's more, Aisha had already been engaged to someone else before she married Muhammad, suggesting she had already been mature enough by the standards of her society to consider marriage for a while. It seems difficult to reconcile this with her being six. In addition, some modern Muslim scholars have more recently cast doubt on the veracity of the saying, or hadith, used to assert Aisha's young age. In Islam, the hadith literature (sayings of the prophet) is considered secondary to the Qur'an. While the Qur'an is considered to be the verbatim word of God, the hadiths were transmitted over time through a rigorous but not infallible methodology. Taking all known accounts and records of Aisha's age at marriage, estimates of her age range from nine to 19. Because of this, it is impossible to know with any certainty how old Aisha was. What we do know is what the Qur'an says about marriage: that it is valid only between consenting adults, and that a woman has the right to choose her own spouse. As the living embodiment of Islam, Muhammad's actions reflect the Qur'an's teachings on marriage, even if the actions of some Muslim regimes and individuals do not. Sadly, in many countries, the imperatives motivating the marriage of young girls are typically economic. In others, they are political. The fact that Iran and Saudi Arabia have both sought to use the saying concerning Aisha's age as a justification for lowering the legal age of marriage tells us a great deal about the patriarchal and oppressive nature of those regimes, and nothing about Muhammad, or the essential nature of Islam. The stridency of those who lend credence to these literalist interpretations by concurring with their warped view of Islam does not help those Muslims who seek to challenge these aberrations. The Islamophobic depiction of Muhammad's marriage to Aisha as motivated by misplaced desire fits within a broader Orientalist depiction of Muhammad as a philanderer. This idea dates back to the crusades. According to the academic Kecia Ali: "Accusations of lust and sensuality were a regular feature of medieval attacks on the prophet's character and, by extension, on the authenticity of Islam." Since the early Christians heralded Christ as a model of celibate virtue, Muhammad - who had married several times - was deemed to be driven by sinful lust. This portrayal ignored the fact that before his marriage to Aisha, Muhammad had been married to Khadija, a powerful businesswoman 15 years his senior, for 25 years. When she died, he was devastated and friends encouraged him to remarry. A female acquaintance suggested Aisha, a bright and vivacious character. Aisha's union would also have cemented Muhammad's longstanding friendship with her father, Abu Bakr. As was the tradition in Arabia (and still is in some parts of the world today), marriage typically served a social and political function - a way of uniting tribes, resolving feuds, caring for widows and orphans, and generally strengthening bonds in a highly unstable and changing political environment. Of the women Muhammad married, the majority were widows. To consider the marriages of the prophet outside of these calculations is profoundly ahistorical. What the records are clear on is that Muhammad and Aisha had a loving and egalitarian relationship, which set the standard for reciprocity, tenderness and respect enjoined by the Qur'an. Insights into their relationship, such as the fact they liked to drink out of the same cup or race one another, are indicative of a deep connection which belies any misrepresentation of their relationship. To paint Aisha as a victim is completely at odds with her persona. She was certainly no wallflower. During a controversial battle in Muslim history, she emerged riding a camel to lead the troops. She was known for her assertive temperament and mischievous sense of humour - with Muhammad sometimes bearing the brunt of the jokes. During his lifetime, he established her authority by telling Muslims to consult her in his absence; after his death, she went to be become one of the most prolific and distinguished scholars of her time. A stateswoman, scholar, mufti, and judge, Aisha combined spirituality, activism and knowledge and remains a role model for many Muslim women today. The gulf between her true legacy and her depiction in Islamophobic materials is not merely historically inaccurate, it is an insult to the memory of a pioneering woman. Those who manipulate her story to justify the abuse of young girls, and those who manipulate it in order to depict Islam as a religion that legitimises such abuse have more in common than they think. Both demonstrate a disregard for what we know about the times in which Muhammad lived, and for the affirmation of female autonomy which her story illustrates. Myriam Francois-Cerrah
Alhamdulillah, it feels so great to see a converted muslim speaking so fluently and remarkably on islam. A lesson to born muslims like us among whom so many have strayed away from the path of Allah. Go to some Arab countries like Lebanon, Albania, Turkey, they are hardly following islamic way of life and religion. I'm sure many dont even go to mosques or know the verses this gentlemen has so effortlessly narrated. May allah guide every1 of us to the right path.Ameen.
Allah is the greatest. God wants us to spread love to all of the people of the world. God commands us to love and care for all people. Allah is love. Allah is the greatest. Allah commands us to love one another.
He lives in LA and he is Persian. Can't say too much about him because he is in the music business. But suffice it to say, I looked at him as a true saint when I met him. Never in my life have I met someone like him, he changed me without even talking about god or spiritualitiy or good character, he changed me by radiating his own power and excelence. Truely this man is one of a kind. A true master teaches simply by his presence.
If a man has feelings for u, or loves u, and has deen go for him. If you hv a gd guy ur life will be good. But if a guy wants to marry u for the sake of it, it's time for him to get married n ur fit so he chooses u, then good luck to you. I love 1 girl, n want to giv her the world. If I had married any1 else I wouldn't given a crap, il no itl be a normal life, she'll cook clean, n al eat . But now i married the right one n I love her n cherish her everyday. Have faith in god.
Aww what a nice Lecture Masha Allah. This is the first time im watching this brother. He's quite entertaining as well as enlightening. I knew of that Hadith but didn't know the last part about Aisha RA, how very sweet. You're so right, "take that The notebook!" Ha! I think I'll have to show this lecture to my husband! ;) shukran for the upload.
Mashallah great definition of true love and relationship in ISLAM. Brother Murphy I love the way you speak about how we muslims should be and the way u speak about our Prophet (PBUH) makes our love grow even more for him and ISLAM and makes our belief stronger.
Be the change and the character you want in your partner.... thats the conclusion I took away from this beautiful video... jazakum Allah kulla al khair!!
Assalamualaikum dear Brother AbdelRahman. I dont mean to contradict you, but I think is important to be careful the way we talk and the words we use because we can misguide people, as far as I understant women can not divorce man also a man dont ask his wife please take me back. Women can ask for khula. Also the period of Ida is 3 months and divorce is not over until Ida is finish so he could touch his wife still. And I am not an scholar but this is just things I have learned but Allah SWT knows best.
Georgina Galindo what a load of shit.a woman has the right to do whatever the hell she likes whether divorce or be with someone else.your religion is a religion of control and hate
Don't worry about muslims (the true ones) we are free el hemdoulilleh, even though we are perseuted every where but we know that th one's who choose to live godly, the ones who are on the right path will be persecuted. even jesus peace be upon him said that
So Mr. Murphy, think what you are saying here. You think Justin Bever does not know what love is because he is 12 years old but you think Ayasha knows what love is at age 9? You say that love means finding peace in your partner. How can a wife (including Ayesha) find peace when she knows that her husband also loves 11 more wives. There are plenty of examples in hadees and history about the conflicts between prophet's wives. Prophet knew it well. That is why he did not allow Ali, his son-in-law, to get another wife because he knows it will hurt Fatima, his daughter. However, he did not practice this himself. I'm sure you guys know history. Then are you fooling everyone purposely or are you blinded by your faith?
Aisha wasn't nine when they consummated the marriage. It's actually very illogical even if you follow hadiths. I could show you why more in-depth but it would be way too long of a post.
Sister the prophet (peace be upon him ) was no ordinary man he was made to perfection so we can always look toward him for guidance in any situation life throws at us, so comparing him to other men is not right because he was able to love each of his wife's and they loved him too. You are not supposed to marry another women if you can not take care of her, and the prophet (peace be upon him) took care of them all. If you need more answers I highly suggest researching about each of the wife's and their stories because sister I guarantee you will change your mind thank you
He also married some of those women to unite the Arabian tribes. One must remember he was a Prophet of God, therefore his actions would be political as well as personal. And Allah knows best. Peace
Yasmine K hi Muhammad saw is a role model for us... He needs to get married 11 times not for his happiness just for Allah.. Coz he is a role model he got married with hazarat khadeeja to show a man can get married a woman 15 years old than a man n a widow too. So all 11 marriages are examples for men that a man can get married to a woman in any age it was Allah'will not prophet 's own will prophet did Wat Allah said to him asked to him.. So he married 11 times 11 examples look at the 11 woman he got married then u came to know it was necessary to get married just to set examples for people that they can get married coz their prophet has done this same act by marrying a elder woman widows woman in age 55..40...9
Yaaaa Allaaah! One of the best lectures I've heard about the subject, May Allah bless All my sisters (and I) righteous and caring husbands, and bless All brothers with pious wise wives. Ameeeen
The reason for this is simple geometry and physics. An object’s mass is directly (linearly) related to its volume, but the relationship between size and volume is not linear. If you have an object of a certain size, and you double its size in all three dimensions, its volume (and thus its mass) is not simply doubled: it is multiplied by a factor of 2 3 = 8
Im not muslim and I do not want disrespect the prophet muhammed. But I have met a man with the character that he is describing, Im not saying he is a prophet but that man was EXACTLY like he said. If this man would talk and look at me I would feel so many feelings. First of all equality. This man made me feel totally and utterly equal and I had a feeling that had he met a king instead of me he would have not changed a single thing. When he looked at me he was truely looking. Amazing,praise allah
I watch some speakers and I turn off because I find it difficult to be captivated. But this brother was not, loved his speech and he related to me very well by adding humour to his talks.
MashAllah! Great talk, JAK Brother. I never enjoyed washing the dishes more... although, I dont usually have to watch while listening...but you got me watching this time! LOL! Salam!
I cried after listening to his speech. I wish to marry a sincere and loving Muslim man that has loving characters of Prophet Mohammad SAW. That could also guide me to be a good Muslimah so that together we shall be in Jannah. InsyaAllah.
Aww, you're so sweet. What a breath of fresh air. I thought you were going to fight back with her, but instead, you apologized..Even if your comment wasn't horrible. Masha Allah.
Look at this brother joking and smiling while teaching the Straight Path. THIS is Sunnah. THIS is how Allah wants us to be. He doesn't want us to be like those who say everything is haraam or those who frown, shout, and threaten when teaching religion. No, He wants us to be like the Prophet Muhammad (SAAW), and this is how he (SAAW) was when he taught.
The best video ever, I really like it.... he explains Love through islam and especially through the prophet Muhammad saws, allahou akbar... Islam is a religion of peace love and kindness, for those who critic it, they should read about it, read what is islam, its history and not from one point of view cause muslims at our time aren't perfect, but islam we'll always remains perfect, So you don't have the right to judge it if you didn't reaad it and understand it
As'salaamu'alaikum, yeah i know bro some people don't even look at the content before they just make a judgement. Subhan'Allah Allah open up the heart of our bro and sis
Masallah! so beautiful! the speech, formation of Hadiah, and the expression (visual presentation). Loved the sentence which we guys ofter do not remember "If you want your wife to be Aisha (RA) than you must be Prophet Muhammad (SA). May Allah help us to become (close to) Muhammad (SA) and Aisha (RA). Ameen. Jajak Allah Kheren. :D
Islam is about abstaining from committing actions that may seem tempting and alluring, but are actually hazardous. and though eman has its hi's and lo's, a practising Muslim never fails to realize the importance of rules ordained by Rabb'Al Alameen.
Brother thank you for talking about the best of Allah's creation our prophet Muhammed PBUH. I love also hearing how Aisha ra mother of the believers loved the prophet .
I happy for you sister.....:) there are a lot of websites about praying... but its better to learn from a person rather than depend on the websites..... i suggest that you can go to the nearby mosque or islamic center, inshaallah there will be someone that will be happy to help you... may Allah blessed you with his love and protect you on your new journey....:)
He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; (He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)!" -Quran, sura 19 Maryam,
