The Final Verdict: Age Of Aisha 

17:50 how truthful this guy is.... He answers straight that he is not well read on this topic... Unlike other people who tend to malign and add their own opinions...

The conclusion is what every muslim needs to hear! jazakALLAH khair

If an 18-year-old man comes to you and says he’s getting married, you’d question his decision-making skills. You’d think he’s getting married too early. Similarly, if an 18-year-old woman tells you that she’s getting married, you’d ask her to do a “reality check” and may be even discourage her by telling her she’s too young, and she should go to college or build a career. Even though 18 is the legal age most countries, no one really believes that an 18-year-old is ready for marriage! Should it be same for girls and boys? Or, should girls have a different minimum age than boys? Should the fact that girls mature earlier than boys be takin into account? Does "one size fits all" really work for determining a minimum age? In pre-modern cultures, girls would look forward to getting married and start a family. They did not see it as we see it today. They saw marriage as a benefit, not a burden like we do. That was the norm for them. And this was true in all religions, cultures, and regions of the world. The minimum age for marriage has been increasing worldwide. In all pre-modern traditional cultures, it wasn’t unusual for girls to consummate marriages between the ages of 10 and 12 and that was considered normal back then, but not today. In most modern societies, girls are highly discouraged from getting married, even at 18. Early marriage is considered bad. They’re told that education and careers are far more important and beneficial for a young woman than marriage and having children. Today, we’ve been indoctrinated into believing that it's always better for a woman to have a career and work than to have children and raise them. Women are taught to delay marriage for career. How has this impacted women, men, children and the society at large? The result is that most Western nations are in decline-population is imploding. Marriage is ruined. People are having fewer and fewer children than the previous generations. Corporations and business do not like early marriage because it’s bad for the economy. Women entering the workforce helps increase the supply of labor which in turns lowers wages. Business and corporations benefit when there are more women in the workforce. Women who work consume more and spend more. So, it’s good for business to have working women. We’re even told that it’s possible and perfectly normal for a woman to have both a career and raise children at the same time. While this may work for some, it doesn’t work for all women. Many women get burnt out trying to juggle jobs and raising kids. It's such a huge responsibility. We expect women to work like they have no kids. We expect women to have kids like they don't have a job. All this has put unrealistic demands on women. Stress, depression, and disintegration of the family. That statistics are there. It is unfair to women. Women have been tricked into believing that having a career and family are the norm. Modernity and liberalism have changed everything. Today we find early marriage shocking, but the pre-modern people lived in a very different time period. They didn’t go to schools or colleges. Liberalism has brainwashed us into rejecting early marriage. Girls are denied the freedom to marry early. Yet, girls are told they can sleep with anyone they want, have sex with anyone, “discover”, and even change their gender any time without parental consent! Liberalism is stupid, dangerous, and destructive. It’s ruining lives, families, communities, and societies. Thanks to liberalism, most Western nations are in decline-population is imploding. In pre-modern societies, girls did not care much about careers because there weren’t any to begin with. There was no vocational or job training for any jobs because girls didn’t get jobs. She had goats and cows to milk. Why won’t she get married and enjoy sex and have children? Early marriage was not only the norm, but also the most sensible and financially beneficial thing to do. That was then. Still, we have many poor villages in India and Africa where this works. As long as there’s no harm, let them do it. In the history of the world, there’s never been a universally agreed upon minimum age for marriage. Every religion or country has its own minimums. So, what’s the perfect age for marriage? What should be the minimum age? Depends on who you ask! There’s no perfect age as there’s no magic formula. People mature differently depending in their age and cultural norms. Some say minimum age of marriage should be 18 for both boys and girls. Some say 16, and some even say 12 or 14. Regardless of the number, the modern laws setting minimum age for marriage completely ignore the obvious biological fact that girls mature earlier than boys. Consequently, girls should have the legal option to be able to marry earlier than boys.

You know my brother in Islaam , I've been bothered by this Question regarding the age of Aayesha R.A for quite a while , and I have tried and searched for answers for quite a while , This Question creep up again in my mind last night while I was at work , and wallah I felt like drifting away from my belief , shaitan kept whispering to me all sorts of bad things , and I felt absolutely terrified for loosing my faith , because as far as I am concerned my life without my faith in ALLAH and his messenger s.a.w and in Islaam would be absolutely meaning less and worthless . And I was terrified by this thought last night that if I don't find a satisfying explanation on this matter , then I'll bee doomed for eternity in the here after. And then I whispered to ALLAH in my heart and I asked for guidance and clarification as shaitan was bothering me non-stop . And alhamdulillah ALLAH s.w.t brought your video in front of me and I am 100% satisfied and clear on this issue now . I have heard shaikh Aasim al-hakim , Dr Zakir Naik , Mufti Menk of zimbabwe and a couple of american scholars , but subhan-ALLAH it is your explanation that I found most logical and satisfactory . May ALLAH reward you abundantly for this clarification and explanation . جزاكم الله خيرًا كثیر

MaSha Allah. Tabarak ArRahman. Perfectly put. Jazzak Allah khair wa barak Allah feek.

Jazakallah brother.... May Allah reward you nd bless us also to serve our deen in any way possible

very well said akhi... jazaakallahu khairan

also, Dating is a norm today, and leads to fornication and even later term abortions today, much earlier in life in lot of cases. Marriage was the norm then and people married young according to today’s standard.

I always says this, you can't enforce today's value to someone in the past.

Great work as always

I think we are often forced to use modern values to test Islam against. Therefore some feel pressured into appeasing this narrative. I agree with the brother that it's about time that we where proud of the Devine laws of Allah and how they stand the test of time! If anything the Quran should be used as standard for man made laws.

No hate from me, just interested in what you have to say.

Well said my brother.

From 18:00 onward , What a beautiful reminder. The word of God is final regardless of our opinions on the matter. May Allah make it easy for us to truly hear and obey

Excellent video ‎جزاك اللهُ خيرا‬ bro Farid 🤛🏼💙

JazaakumuLLAHU Khayran Brother Farid and your team, people who are unbiased are benefiting much, please continue in this carrier your reward surely is with Allah, God Almighty. I really enjoy your programs because of your evidencing and being humble to say you dont know when the need arises.

Alhamdulillah this is the best answer on this topic especially this here 19:00

Nice video brother, Alhumdulilah, just one more thing to add, even the prophet's (p) enemies that hated him during his lifetime and wanted to kill him didn't bring this marriage to Iesha (r) up as an 'issue' in any way shape or form.

i think people put to much emphasis on Aisha'as Age , it is not an issue of Aqeedah at all , you are not going to Hell because of her age LOL

May Allah bless you and preserve you and increase your ilm ❤️can you please mention other narrations for the age of Ayesha ra

Doesn’t matter what century Islam is meant to be for all time

Islam allows consensual marriage as long as the couple has attained puberty. Parents consent or Wali is also required. Hundreds and thousands of people accepted Islam during the life of the messenger of Allah, SAAS, and nobody ever raised fingers. In fact, hundreds and thousands of people accepted him as truthful, trustworthy, best of character when Allah claimed in the Quran he was the best in character, and the companions became devout muslims. This issue about marriage to Ayesha, RA, has never appeared as an issue in the entire recorded history, only recently. This is a recent phenomenon. Abu Bakr R.A and his wife married their daughter to the messenger of Allah. Abu Bakr RA sacrificed all his belongings to the messenger of Allah for the sake of Allah. Because he knew the Prophets high morals from his early life. The companions competed to have the honor of having a family relationship through marriages with the prophets or Prophets family, SAAS. Definitely marrying younger has been a norm and still allowed in some states and many countries. Even, If we check our earlier generations, we would be amazed to find, our previous generations married at a much younger age too, not like today. Today it seems odd, because, girls like boys have become career or College education minded or want to graduate first, and mary much later than our previous generations did.

Masha Allah Brother Farid Beautifully explained.

I agree entirely about presentism, if it could just be left at that. However, because it was done by Muhammad back then it became sunnah for all time. We can't on one hand claim this to this to be halal forever, and on the other hand hide behind the presentism.

Excellent video, jazakallahukahir brothers!

The difference is that his actions are applicable to ALL time for ALL man. If it was fine then but not fine now then let's do this for ALL his actions. Salah - fine then not fine now. Fasting - fine then not fine now Etc etc.

The conclusion is a must watch

very good explanation

Beautiful background!

It was not a cultural norm. Bend over backwards defending this is absurd. Salafia messed up claiming Bukhari is infallible caused many to leave the tradition. They F'd up unfortunately.

habibi, you have the look of yearning knowledge for truth. Inshallah you will arrive there with patience and importantly without an arrogant view of what is presented before you.

the non muslim (esp christian) to ridicule this marriage is so hypocritical considering that Joseph who was almost 60yr older married Mary. Its unfair that christian dont call Joseph was a pedophile or rapist too.

Ignorant imam tawhidi lies against the family of prophet muhammad s.a.w is exposed,keep up the good work brother tabaraka ALLAH ,islam is perfect ALLAHU AKBAR

Thanks for your insight and you are right when you say societies allowed children to marry and should not be judged by our modern ways. As a non Muslim I find Islam hard to understand due to the language but I try my best. Would you be interested in going on Joe Rogan's podcast as your view's on Islam should be more widely spread. I'm a new subscriber and want to learn as much as possible about your religion. I am also sorry you have received hate from ignorant people as you do not deserve it. We are not all like that. I can dislike Islam for some reasons but not its followers who are human and should be treated with decency. Thanks once again.

We happy you have accept the truth

Wallahi I Get Very Sad When Haters Insult Our Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam 😢, Why don’t people understand that it was normal at that time? 😢

In India the british government increased the minimum age of marriage from 10 to 12 in the year 1892 (130 years back), and prominent hindu leaders like Bal Gangadhar Tilak opposed this new law.

Isaac married Rebecca when she was 5 years and blessed by Yehwah. According to Jewish Dictionary

Could someone list the names of the people mentioned at 6:15?

Why do we even need to explain ourselves to anyone This is our religion And their rules that changed Not our religion Simple what was the age of Mary mother of Jesus at the birth of Jesus??? Mary mother of Jesus was 12-14 years old at the age of the birth of Jesus The age of Joseph was 90 years old at the birth of Jesus son of Mary

I also watched sheikh Uthman ibn Farooq's video in which he was supporting the claim of age as 18 yr old.

You comparison is deceitful, they will not allowed 50yo man to marry 6 years old girl.. like your prophet did, and he is a prophet.. and u lie about Joseph.. there is no historical record on his age?

There are narrations in Muslim and Bukhari that show that the marriage wasn't consummated for several years and Abu Bakr pressured Muhammad to consummate it, but he lacked revelation to justify it. Their are sound narrations list 13 as when he noticed she was a woman and asked her. There is even a manuscript listed as by Aishah, instead of later generations, that includes a narration that says it was arranged at 6, she moved in at 9, and it was consummated at 13. The narration centered on 9 stem from a person who it is also narrated that before he moved at got older that he said 19. Those who look at the details in the Big Ten collections, know that there is external evidence to those narrations. People forget that, in most societies child marriage does not usually mean sex with preadolescents. Quran shows a marriageable age in multiple ways, but this is in finalizing the marriage. There are different ways of being engaged and moving in on proposed terms to be considered in the future would not be a contradiction. We can not look at what was written two to five centuries later as the same as what the first two generations as if they are eye witness accounts. Even the narrations about the Companions and the Imams are better in a historical sense than even mainstream claims of history during my life. The Bible requires no consent for marriage and includes justification for forced marriage. Many secularists are advocating legalization of non-violent child molestation-actually fornicating and adulterating with prepubescent individuals where they are not scarred. In the USA, marriage is legal with people Islam says are not allowed to be married and sex is legal with even more. A sociopath will be governed in his morality by the laws and customs or popularity of the society he is in. A psychopath will decide ethics upon their own preferences or desires. We should be neither.

Due to climatic conditions and her own physical wholesomeness, she had reached puberty at the age of nine years. There is, therefore, no ambiguity in the matter of her living with him.

Salam brother, thank you for the presentation. With all due respect I found it incredibly tedious and simplistic. You glazed over crucial aspects of Islam and made some very concerning simplifications. This sounds like dogma rather than a nuanced and scholarly view. I don’t claim to be right or wrong, but rather this is a critique of the integrity and validity of what your saying

Needs more books.

The fact is self-evident; there is no need for any further debate. It is what it is.

*DID AISYAH MARRY THE RASULULLAH AGED 6 YEARS AND LIVE TOGETHER AT AGED 9 YEARS* This is the question of non-Muslims attacking Islam and the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Let's look at the following explanation which is correct and logical* because it is impossible for the Prophet to give an example that is not correct and for the knowledge of all of us in the Muslim community.. _Hopefully it is useful_* *Historical Aspect*. 'Aisyah's marriage age needs to be seen from a historical perspective. According to Ath-Thabari, the four sons of Abu Bakar As-Siddiq were born to his wife during the Jahiliyah period, meaning that they - including Aisyah - were born before 610 AD. If Aisyah was married off when she was 6 years old, then she was born in 613 even though all of Abu Bakar's sons were born before 610 AD. Referring to Ath-Thabari, 'Aisyah was not born in 613 but before 610. If 'Aisyah was married before 610 AD, so she was married at the age of 10 years and lived as a wife with the Prophet at the age of 13 years or more. According to Abdurrahman bin Abi Zinad, Asma was sister to 'Aisyah, she was 10 years older. According to Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Asma was 100 years old and died in 73 or 74 Hijriyah. This means that at the time of the Hijrah, Asma was around 27 or 28 years old (100-73). Because 'Aisyah is 10 years older than Asma, Means 'Aisyah's age when she first shared in house with the Prophet was between 17 and 18 years.____ ___ MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU ALL___

👉Read the truth, defend the Messenger👈 🔸️ This's [Part 2 of 3] 👉 Was Aisha the mother of the believers 6 years old when The Messenger of Allah Almighty sermoned her (Engagement)! and was she 9 years old when got Married to the Prophet? (peace and blessings be upon him) 🔵 And Sadly we still find many muslims try to proof this Lie against the Messenger and the Mother of believers, snd give the Islamophobes and haters a reason to Attack the Messenger with falsehood. Let Stop this wrongdoing, and these are the truth. 🔴 4) Aisha's Islam before Omar Ibn al-Khattab: (This's a clear strong evidence) According to Ibn Hisham's summary of the Prophet's biography of Ibn Ishaq, Aisha (Abu bakr Al Sidiq Family) embrace Islam before Umar Ibn al-Khattab embraced it, which means that she was at least 14 years old at the time of her wedding to the Prophet, peace be upon him, thus dropping the age of 9 years completely. 🔴 5) And This's an ultimate proof: Knowing the Age of Aisha (MOB) by calculations, based on het older Sister Asma (may Allah be pleased with her): According to Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi al-Zinad: Asmaa was ten years older than Aisha (biography of the flags of the nobles, al-Dhahabi: Maj. 2, p. 289, Foundation for the Message, Beirut, 1992). Ibn Katheer also agrees with Ibn Abi al-Zinad’s narration and says that she is - Asma: Ten years older than her sister Aisha (The Beginning and the End, Ibn Katheer Maj. 8, p. 371, Dar Al-Fikr Al-Arabi - Giza 1933). Ibn Katheer agrees with what all historians affirm without disagreement that Asma "witnessed the killing of her son during that year (73 AH), as previously mentioned, and five days later she died. And like other accounts, she did not die after 5 days, but rather after 10 or 20 days, or a few days later, or even a hundred days after the accident, so that the most likely story remains that she died a hundred days later, when she is 100 years old. (Beginning and End Ibn Katheer, Mug 8, p. 372, Dar Al-Fikr Al-Arabi, Giza 1933). And bin Hajar Al-Asqalani narrates that “Asma bint Abi Bakr Al-Siddiq [That Al-Nitaqain], the wife of Al-Zubayr bin Al-Awam, one of the great companions, lived a hundred years and died in the year of seventy-three (Al-Tahdheeb, Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani, p. 654, chapter on Women, Harf) a thousand). According to the opinion of most historians, Asma, Aisha's older sister were ten years older than the last, and if Asma 'reached the 100 years of Hijra, then her age at the time of the migration would necessarily be 27 years old, and therefore Aisha’s age at that time would be 17 years old, and she also began living Along with the Prophet and she was 19 or 20 years old. Based on the narrations of Ibn Hajar, Ibn Katheer and Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Al-Zinad, the age of Aisha at the time of her marriage to the Prophet was between 19 and 20 years at least. 🔴 6) The date of Aisha's death determines the date of her marriage: It is also mentioned in Al Maarif by Ibn Qutaybah that Aisha, the mother of the believers, died in 58 AH at the age of 77. Thus, the age of Aisha, the mother of the believers, immediately before the emigration, was 19 years (77-58), and since she married to the noble Messenger in the second year of the Hijra..so she was 21 years old at that time. Even if we take the minimum approach, the presence of other accounts in other historical sources that determine Aisha’s age at 66 years of age, assuming that her age was only 5 years + 12 years (from the fourth year before the mission until the second year of migration) = 17 years at least. 🔴 7) Sahih al-Bukhari prooves Aisha's age: This's another narration confirms for us Aisha's participation in the Battle of Uhud. “Anas narates that on Uhud: I saw Aisha bint Abi Bakr and Umm Salim, rolled their hands ready (Sleeves) - I witness the work of their arms - transport water containers on their bodies, empty them into the mouths of the people, then return and fill it, then come and empty it into the mouths of the people (Bukhari, Al-Fath. No. (2880). This is a clear evidence of their grown age. Her age and her ability to serve the army during the Battle of Uhud. (As it's well known fact the Messenger never allow young children to participate in battles). Thus, it is confirmed once again that Aisha witnessed the battles of Uhud and Badr. 🔴 8) Al-Bukhari narrates to us in another hadith: On the authority of Yahya bin Saeed, said that Nafeh said, on the authority of Ibn Omar, May Allah be pleased with them, that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he offered himself to the messenger on the day of Uhud when he was fourteen years old, and Messenger didn't allow him, and offered himself at the Ahzab, and he was allowed at the age of 15. (Kitab Al-Maghazi, Chapter of the Battle of Al-Khandaq, which is the Ahzab or Trench). This is a very strong evidence that the Prophet, peace be upon him, was not permitting to let someone under the age of fifteen in the Battles. 🌟This is evidence that the age of 9 years has no validity at all. 🔴 9) Participation in the battle of Badr: In Sahih Muslim, a narration confirms Aisha's participation in the battle of Badr and is attributed to Aisha in the course of her discussion of her trip to Badr and about an important accident that occurred while traveling: “... even if we were in the tree ....” Which is clear evidence that she was among the delegation Traveling towards Badr, and the Prophet does not take children with him. (The Book of fighting and travel). ▪︎Continue to part 3

Jazak Allah khair brother. We know from the Sirah, Hadith, and even the Quran itself, all of the many insults & mockeries that Quraysh, the Christians, and the Jews all made against the Prophet (saw), such as a magician (sāhir), a poet (shā’ir), a soothsayer (kāhin), a liar (kathāb), and madman (majnūn), yet *NEVER* did they call him a pedophile or a child molestor (a’uthubillah). This alone should prove that such marriages were perfectly normal at that time & society, which makes it completely absurd to judge it from our 21st century Western moral standard 1,400 years later. On top of that, we have nearly *THOUSANDS* of Ahadith from Um al Mu’mineen (Aisha ra), and we know already that she was treated amazingly by the Prophet (swt) and loved him more than anyone! So why do we need to prove anything that she hasn’t already done herself?? Subhan’Allah! People need to wake up and stop dragging this subject- there are so many proofs & evidences of the incredible character and Prophethood of our Prophet Muhammad (saw), this subject is just a barrier to real Daw’ah and to discussing real important issues of Islam amongst ourselves as Muslims. May Allah (swt) increase us all in knowledge, imaan, and guide us all. Ameen.

In Shawwal: There was an interval of three years between the marriage and then living together. May Allah be well-pleased with her.

I know it could be wrong to assume this, but all the sources mentioned in this video was based on Aisha claiming that she was 9. Could Aisha be unaware of what her age really was when she married the prophet, or misjudged the age at that time, because we trust Aisha narrating from the prophets Hadith, but in this particular point, we are relying on her understanding of what her age could be when she married the prophet Sala Allah allayh wa Salam

The thing is I feel like the age of our mother could be our test for our faith from Allah. Whether its 9 or 19 prophet Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wasallam is the best man ever walked on earth then no need to have problem with his marriage and simple logic Allah choice is always best and if he going to choose someone as prophet definitely there will be no wrong with that person .

There is no way for sure to actually know how old she was. I know Arab today who were born about 60 to 70 years ago but don’t know their actual birthday. When they got a passport to come here to America they just guested their birthdate. And I can understand if there is Hadith stating she was 9 but it doesn’t mean it’s true, her being ,9,12, 14 , 18 doesn’t change anything in Islam. Ashia her self saying she was 9 doesn’t mean she was nine, back in the days no one really kept count of birth days or calendars or even books period. There is no final verdict about her age, she could have been 9 or up to 18 and it shouldn’t matter either way

How old was she know when they married?

But brother Farid Uthmaan ibn Farooq said it's possible she was 18-20. So is he wrong or just difference opinion.

Well said. Would it be moral today ? No. But did it happen then ? Yes .... just like how solomon has 300 wives in the bible ... it is what it is .. we still beleive in hr one true God Allah and the quran and the message bought 1400 years ago by our noble prophet and messenger Muhammed. Subhanallah we received the message of islam. I pray that we all enter jannah together by Allah's mercy ameen🤲

If you say hes a prophet for ALL times then why would all times not Judge him ?? Take that false hadith that has many problems with it and toss it Stop saying your fabrications are from allah Stop trying to justify that you want to have sex with kids because if you justify this hadith Then your saying its sunnah for you to marry kids There is no discussion with a such person Your sickos .

Subhanallah, the conclusion at the end was epic. Really eye-opening !!! Jazakallahu ahsanul jaza

Asalamu Aleykum but there are other biological factors than menstruation which determins maturity of a girl etc. And there are also psychological and mental maturity which are crucial part in a childs growth. But what about all the cases of those children who have been molested and have had sex in their earlier ages that would later affect many people/children for the rest of their lives?.. Jazakh Allahu Khayran.

I always thought that the idea that Aisha R.A. was 18 made no sense in a historical context. 18 being the accepted general norm, even in the west is only about 100 years old. Ask your grandmother or, if you are fortunate enough, your great grandmother how old she was when she got married. By the 1800's 18 was the age for European nobility, not all European women, just the nobility. Go further back in history, choose any country and see how young people were when they got married. This applied to both men and women. We should stop judging people of the past through our modern lens, especially when that lens is so new compared to the history that came before it.

I don't know much about you but you speck good English mashallah😁Aisha was young but hey King Henry married 6 year old😂

Salam maleikum what's the name of the teacher ?

For all you Christians & muslims brothers & sisters,please do your research before you just blindly read of a screen or hear something,and believe it without knowing the truth about it.The hadiths about the marriage of Aisha(ra) to the holy prophet(saw) we accept them and don't deny or feel ashamed at all in anyway at all.Every sahih hadith we accept,now Aisha(ra) said I was married to the holy prophet(saw) when I was 9yrs old,but then in the other hadith she said 10yrs old then other 6-9yrs old.She said marriage was consummated at age 9yrs old,another 10yrs old,another 6yrs old and so on.Npw this shows Aisha(ra) didn't know her own age,also before Aisha(ra) was married to the holy prophet(saw),she was engaged to AZ-Zubair to get married.Then the revelation came from Allah(swt) that the holy prophet(saw) is to marry Aisha(ra).So the engagement was ended and Abu Bakr (ra) accepted the proposal from the holy prophet(saw).Hadith 3682 in bukhari tells of this and hadith 3607 in bukhari tells of this.Ibn kathir reports in Al bidaya wa nihaya reports Asma(ra) older sister was 10yrs older than Aisa(ra).Asma(ra) was 100yrs old when she died in year 73 hijra,she never lost her memory,not a tooth neither senile.Asma(ra) was 27yrs old when she did hijra.This proves Aisha(ra) was 16-17 when married to holy prophet(saw).Consummated at age 18-19yrs old.Ibn hajar askalani confirms ibn kathir in his book (al isaba tabir sahaba).Then theres multiple other scholars who confirmed these facts,check the sources I've provided plus hadiths,so you can stop comin with these pathetic arguments.Fellow muslims,if this question is out to you,if your not educated to answer,then don't engage in trying to answer that which you dont know,as you'll only make things look worse.

What about one of the arguments that the word 'ashrah was somehow lost during narrations, thus age of 'Aisha was 16 when Married and 19 when marriage was consummated.

Aisha older sister contradicts your view if you were well studied you would know this. People who agree with his talk are blind following the blind

It doesn't matter because 500 AD are different from today. Only non Muslim make a fuzz of this matter.

masha Allah farid bro you look like an arabian warrior a knight. so good to eyes.

Hello I am not an Islamophobe or an arrogant hater, I just have an honest question. One of the Muslim responses concerning the age of Aisha and the Prophet's morals is that a girl marrying at such a young age to a 52 year old man was OK by the standars of 7th century Arabia and we shouldn't judge a man from that time by today's standards. Fair point but shouldn' the Prophet be *above* the moral standards of the time he lived? He is supposed to be such a person that every person-no matter the race, the age, the gender, *the age when it is lived in* -thinks him as a *morally perfect person* as stated in the verses 33:21 and 68:4. (I can safely say that the Quran tells about him as a person which every person no matter the age when it is lived in can think him as a morally perfect person , because the Quran is supposed to be sent to *all* of humanity (humanity from the time when the Quran was sent to the time of the end of humanity.).

When those who hate our prophet accept the explanation of aisha's marriage, they wont stop, theyll bark about polygamous marriage and when they accept the explanation for that they will bark about something else, only bother explaining those willing to learn and ask questions, not those who pick fights just to attack Islam and say its evil without evidence, if a dog barks at you non stop dont bark back, they wont understand you or listen to you, just walk away.

I recently thought about something which gave me a lot of sakina with regard to this issue. That is how come the biggest opponents of rasul Allah(s), who would look for anything to attack his character and cause doubt in his credibility, never once attacked him from this angle? This shuts down any claims of deviancy for me, because it clearly indicates that this was a cultural norm for the time. Not just that time but even going as late as pre industrial revolution, none of the orientalists even thought to criticize rasul Allah(s) for this. This is the response for the non believer, for the believer it is quite clear to see the truth in rasul Allah's(s) statement that Aisha was chosen for him by Allah as she would go on to be one of the foremost transmitters of hadith and sources of knowledge for this ummah.

Chapter: In defense of Imam Al-Bukhaari (رحمه الله), and Abu Bakr As-Saddeeq (رضي الله عنه) Laws of England by Sir William Blackstone, says that the law of England allowed, at the age of 7, a girl can be betrothed and married with the consent of her parents. This was a book that was written about the jurisprudence of English people in the 19th century. The cultural aspects of marriages between cultures have similar aspects in maintaining modesty and chastity before the 19th century. Aisha (رضي الله عنها) was betrothed (engaged) to the Messenger of Allaah (اللهم صل على محمد وأزواجه) at the age of 6. The Messenger consummated the marriage WITHOUT having sexual intercourse at the age of 9, by bring her to his living quarters. She didn't see his (صلى الله عليه وسلم) private parts UNTIL a day after Ghazwa At-Tabuk, which means she was about 14 years of age or older. I believe this is a hadith in the Sahih Sitta which I read more than twenty years ago (possibly this hadith is in the Sunan of Abi Daud or Jami' At-Tirmidhee).

I know my age because I saw my birth certificate. If I don’t have birth certificate I could only knew my age from my parents. If the hadith is from Abu Bakar ra it can be conclusive. Else it may or may not be accurate.

There are many Hadith, in English, about Aisha's age they generally state as this Hadith does : "It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah married her when she was six years old, and consummated the marriage with her when she was nine." Grade: Sahih (Darussalam) Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 3255 It is graded as Sahih by some, but that is wrong. These Hadith were transmitted by Hishaam ibn Urwa or sometimes it's just stated Hishaam, one and the same person. When Hishaam grew old his memory suffered very badly and it was then that he transmitted these Hadith. In the science of Hadith there are five conditions that must be met in order for a hadith to be graded as Sahih. One of the conditions is that the narrator have a high precision of memory. Hishaam had a very bad memory and therefore doesn't meet the criteria in fact as his memory was very bad the Hadith is Apocryphal, Daef or false. There is a Hadith transmitted by Umaartubnu Ghazeyah but he is listed as being Daef and therefore the Hadith is Daef. The Hadith such as these are Apocryphal, Daef or false and many people do not know. Asma, Aisha's sister, was 10 years older than Aisha. Asma died in 73 AH at 100. Which makes Aisha around 17 at the time of Hijra to Medina. She was conducted to her husband, Peace be upon him in a later Shawwal making her 19 years and 10 months old. In The Holy Qur'an Allah says "...Marry who seem good to you from THE WOMEN...' 4:3 Marry THE WOMEN NOT CHILDREN. Extra knowledge: The fourth chapter, The Women, starts with "O' Mankind…" 4:1 and therefore the address is to Mankind. In Hadith 10 from 40 Hadith an-Nawawi It is noted that : "Verily Allah commanded The Believers* because He commanded with it The Messengers and Allah said "O' The Messengers Eat from The Good and Act Righteously" and He said "O' Those who Believe* Eat from The Good which We provided you"..." We note that Allah addresses The Messengers separately from The Believers* and this is true throughout the Qur'an. Therefore, Allah begins Chapter 4 with : "O' Mankind…" 4:1 and the address is to Mankind and excludes The Messenger, Muhammad, Peace be upon him. As the chapter continues it still addresses Mankind and says : "...Marry who seem good to you from THE WOMEN...' 4:3 This address is part of the address to Mankind and not to The Messenger Muhammad, Peace be upon him, who is excluded from this address. However, Further along in The Chapter, The Women, Allah says : "Allah wishes to make clear for you and guide you to The Practices of those from before you…" 4:26 In this verse which is still addressing Mankind Allah says He makes clear for you, Mankind, and guides you, Mankind, to The Practices of those from before you, and The practices of those before you is to, as Allah says : "...Marry who seem good to you from THE WOMEN...' 4:3 and those before you are The Prophets. All The Prophets from before their practice was to marry Women NOT children exonerating them from any and all blame. and Allah says : "...Never will you find in The Practice of Allah A Changing…" 35:43 and their other verse from elsewhere in The Quran. And no changing in The Practice of Allah in respect to The messenger of Allah, Muhammad, Peace be upon him. The Prophet Muhammad's practice was already in line with The Practice of The Prophets from before that he and they only married women and therefore it was not necessary to address him,Peace be upon him, when Allah began The Chapter, The Women, with " O' Mankind…". Allah makes clear and guides Mankind to The Practice of those before us namely The Prophets and The Practice of Muhammad, Peace be upon him, in which there was no change in that practice from before to : "...Marry who seem good to you from THE WOMEN...' 4:3 Marry THE WOMEN NOT THE CHILDREN. There is more evidence but it would make this too long.

Did your mother marry your Dad at the age of 14?

I agree with your points 100% there is no excuse for using todays standards to judge aything from the past. Since we expect to progress as a society, I would hope that we have learned from the mistakes of the past. The fear is that many take these kind of examples out of context to justify doing similar things today. There are uncounted examples of people quoting passages from the Bible out of context to justify hate and violence today and there is no doubt that there are Muslims doing the same with their litrature. The one point that Imam Tawhidi does not get wrong is that there is a need for reform. Christianity had its reformation in the 1500's and yet it still needs to modernize to remain credible. Historical examples have no bearing on todays world. The only enduring truth is that we continue to strive to be better humans, be kinder and more accepting of each other and become closer to God. In my opinion there is no room for intolerance in Godlyness. All hate moves us further away from Him. Peace be with you my brother.

Assalamu alaikum. I just want to point out, that it is also reported according to some hadith that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) retired himself with Aisha (ra) in his tent in the zone camped nearby the battlefield after the marriage. Now it is also reported that the he (saw) forbade youngsters under the age of 15 to stay there. So Aisha must have been more than 15. I don't believe about those reports saying 9 y o. No need for a long justification about that, it is enough that hadith to show that she was not so young.

What is shaykh's complete name? i love his style. He is very upfront, very comprehensive in covereing the subject.

No one can defend the prophet marrying his friend's daughter for no reason.....keep making things up. purely wrong then and wrong now.

@Raj pst When guru nanak married 14 old girl,Guru Angad married 13 yr old girl,Guru Hargobind Sahib married 15 yr old girl,Guru Tegh Bahadur married at the age of 12 to 9 yr old girl,Guru Har Rai married at the age of 10 to Kishan Kaur ... He had his 1st child Ram Rai when he was 16 yrs old..he himself was 10 so maybe she was 5-9... ALL OF THESE ARE VERY RECENT COMPARE TO PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH...SO ALL OF THIS HAS NO ISSUE WITH YOU BUT PROPHET MUHAMMAD..WOW..????

Akhi, a 9 year old is small.. how can the Prophet saws, a man who was muscular framed, average height, maybe between 5'9 and 5'11.. marry someone so small, and be an example for all humanity forever? Akhi, Allah or The Prophet never mentioned Aisha's age..only Aisha ra mentioned it, she was looking back..she was fallible..so we say it is not a fact..maybe an estimate..did they even have birthdays back then??

I agree it may seem unfair to single out the prophet Mohammed about this issue when many other important historical figures also had very young brides however they key difference here is this, We are talking about Islam which claims to be the most logical scientific and true religion. Allah told humanity to use the prophet Mohammed as an example and follow him so now it ALL of his actions become highly relevant. The real meat of the issue is not ‘Did prophet Mohammed marry a child ?’ But rather ‘Was it moral for the prophet Mohammed to marry a child?’ I agree that biological age is not always consistent with mental and emotional age. I know (anecdotally) that there are many adults in their 20s that behave like 5 year olds. Does this mean the reverse could be true? That a girl of 6 or 9 could have the mental maturity of an adult ? This is something I am still researching with an open mind

They dont toss all narrations of urwa out... Just the problematic ones.

Assalamualaikum Brother, that Hadith directly contradict to the Quran. I do not understand why should we even consider it a Hadith. There are many so called authentic Hadiths which are irrelevant to Islam. Age of Aisha (Peace be upon her) is totally irrelevant to Islam. Some Hadiths put the Prophet (Peace be upon him) in wrong position and directly contradict with the Quran. I think all Hadiths should be rechecked. Hadiths are not words of Allah and not directly written by the Prophet (Peace be upon him) himself. Scholars may made mistakes and now we are the sufferer of answering stupid questions from both believers and disbelievers. I am not concern about the authenticity of Hadiths but their relevancies with the Quran. In nowhere in the Quran Allah command the Prophet or the Muslims to marry a 6/7 years old kid. That Hadith is disturbing and should be thrown out.

He needs to come to speakers corner

I still remain skeptical despite the very good arguments provided. When we knew that all the other wives of the prophets mohamed (asws) except Aisha were over 17 years old when they married the prophet, and that Asma, Aisha's big sister, was pregnant for the first time at the age of 27 in the year 622. there is reason to think that there is an anomaly in the declarations of Aisha. why would she be the only one to get married at 9 years old? For my part, I will use the wisdom of the Prophet Mohamed (asws) to put this question on hold until the day of judgment. Only Allah Wahlam.

I do not go around protesting against the Aztec practice of Human Sacrifice. The reason I do not is that there are no zealots of Aztec religion promoting that we should think they have great role-model a great religion etc. and that we should adopt their practices. The problem is not that we unfairly judge the past: the problem is that you try to bring ancient practice to our times and then try to make it impossible for us to obbject. The roman empire had a marriage age of 12. Many locations copied that. In Milan in 385 AD Augustine had to wait two years to get married to a 10 year old heirress. How come you cliam to own the "norm" when many locations did protect children.? A perfect religion? A perfect role-model? Why should we transport those practices to our century? Praactices in Europe? Most delayed getting children and child-marriages occasionally happened with royalty/nobility as part of larger contracts rather than for sex. shakespearian times statistics. @t "One common belief about the Renaissance is that children, especially girls, married young. In some noble houses marriages were indeed contracted at a young age, for reasons of property and family alliance, but in fact the average age of marriage was quite old--in the middle twenties. Marriage statistics indicate that the mean marriage age for the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras was higher than many people realize. Data taken from birthdates of women and marriage certificates reveals mean marriage ages to have been as follows: 1566-1619 27.0 years 1647-1719 29.6 years 1719-1779 26.8 years 1770-1837 25.1 years < ed cut. > The reason for late marriage among labourers and the middle class was simple enough: it took a long time for a couple to acquire enough belongings to set up housekeeping, even in a room of their parents' home. Young love, however romantic, had to be kept in check if the two lovers were to survive in a world where subsistence earnings would not purchase a roof over their heads and put food on the table. "

What kind of proof is that of an hadith? These are reports after many years after the Prophet (saw) and the companions passed away. Even if the narration say "I was 9 y o" this is a report from other people you were'nt present and did'nt hear her say that. In other words you put your trust in something that is not 100% without any doubt correct. Infact there are other hadith with other age reported, other hadith that states contradiction to that you quoted (I stated in my other comment), and so on. We don't know with 100% certainty of how old she was. People who attack the Holy Prophet (saw) will always find something to criticize him. It is better in my humble opinion to say that all this is not confirmed because hadith are not 100% reliable like the Qur'an, even if it is possible that are correct, but not with certainty. To base a line of defence on something that is not stable could do more damage than help. When a year a non muslim say "your prophet is a ***** (I don't want to write here the word) because he married a child" my answer is simply "were you present to see that? Do you know the exact age of her?"

Well said brother. To be honest they make themselves look like even MORE fools than they already are because in the old testament etc. And even in those cultures at that time. They used to marry when young anyways. Can any Christian tell me how old was Mary when Joseph wedded her???? In English we dont call this...hypocrisy... they contradict themselves at every turn yet can't see the truth and reality right under their own noses. Allah yahfadhak ya Farid...

Age of consent is subjective on social norms,physical and phycological maturity and mental capacity

So hes gonna disregard the narrations that relate asmas age to aishas, but not the hadeeth originally narated from hisham bin urwa, 2 years before his death..? He speaks so comfortably while having only 10% of the knowledge of the subject. Why do many sahabah disregard hishams basra hadeeth? This video is rubbish just delete it. Shame its been posted 6 years ago, and been poisoning peoples minds with garbage information. Nothing he said is of any value.

I saw a video with historians that calculated her age in her late teens when she was married. Based on historical evidence.

"It's extremely unfair to judge Muhammad by 21st century morals and standards." No, it's *extremely* fair. He's supposed to be a perfect standard of conduct for all mankind, right? He's just not. It's clear that he gained followers through war spoil, and a promise of a hedonistic afterlife. He had almost no morals himself, and clearly made up the Quran as he went, whatever part of it he's actually responsible for. Nobody really wants to follow a pedophile when you're not holding a sword to their throat.

Still many place in this world now does not have legal age for marriage. They use biological clock to determine the suitable age. Mean when the girl reaches her puberty they can get married. I belief that is the standard during the time of the Prophet in Arab and the rest of the world. The legal age of consents is a new idea and concepts which even not yet implemented all over the world. Salam.

Ver lo que pasó hace 14 siglos con lentes de siglo XXI es caer en la falacia del presentismo. Las normativas de hoy en día no se pueden aplicar al pasado si se quiere hablar de él de forma justa.

again missing the point Muhammad is held up by muslim as the perfect role model not only did he sex with a little girl he broke all of the commandments given to Moses that my friend is not a role model

All I can say is u compare Muhammad to a layman, there lies the problem. He is supposed to b the best of the best therefore how does a 54 year old marry and consummate with a 9 yr old. This is the problem. Also why was he allowed to have more then 4wives???

Unfortunately your methodology is wrong.The Quran sits above the Hadith.That is so elementary it's sad you guys just repeat the mistakes of those before adding to the yet another generation who can't think for themselves.If you really study the verse in the Quran you'll clearly see that the famous Hadith is false.Same goes for ''Stoning''.A proper study will reveal that the command from Allah is to flog.At least have the decency to rename the title since it's not the final verdict!but rather an opinion.

The problem for me is that he is supposed to be a perfect example.

Im a simple person with simple question. Wud this wahabi in the video marry his 9 years daughter to his uncle?
