I love you for the sake of Allah, shaykh ❤️

We also love you for the sick of Mohammed waalı Mohammed wa'ajılfarahum

Me too ❤

[@tasneembootwala8308]

Another sensible explanation Jazakallah khair

[@abdulmajeedyoosuf148]

“Would you do that to your prophet”? Well it is upto Allah when and what to be revealed… it’s not upto us to decide.

[@rumanaadam7604]

Asalamunalıakum Alahuma sualıy ala Mohammed waalı Mohammed wa'ajılfarahum

[@nura174]

So basically Aisha made up the whole story about her being accused of adultery and ifk didn't really happen? Or you mean ifk happened but surah 24 is not about her? Also on Wikipedia it says Surah 24 was revealed in 5 AH not in 8 AH. What would you say about it? Please answer. Thanks

[@Thaqlain]

Salaam Alaykum. As examined in ep192 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6nOf4uDisllsK8), it was Maria al-Qibtiyya who was exonerated in Surah Nur. Also on Wikipedia, the reference for 5 AH requires citation :)

[@tenqbro9570]

Salaam Any sources for surah nur being revealed in 8AH? Struggling to find it Jzk!

[@Thaqlain]

Alaykum Salaam. Reply from Sayed: You can see the following Sunni sources: This is addressing some verses of Sura Nur and it says it was revealed year 9 AH: www.islamweb.net/amp/ar/library/content/61/2263/مقدمة-السورة alim.ws/متى-نزلت-سورة-النور/ This important Qur’an encyclopedia confirms it was around year 8: shamela.ws/book/21769/1458 quranpedia.net/surah/4/24/book/460

[@mahteeahmed8251]

Assalamu alaikum. With all due respect, sheikh. I am sunni. Wasn't the best corse of action for our prophet (sm.) to stay away from Aisha (ra.) to prove her innocence?

[@Thaqlain]

Alaykum Salaam. If you are confident that someone is innocent, you don't leave them alone. Imagine your daughter or sister is accused of commiting adultery. And you know that it is impossible considering the fact that you know it is beyond her character to even think about it. Will you stay away from her or publically come forward and defend her?

[@samir.mahmodi6971]

❤❤❤❤

[@zm8575]

Only Allahs knows the best , Dont judge , is it not enough that he prophet alaisalam loved her so much for many many years after this incident .

[@Thaqlain]

The aim is not to judge her character but her reliability as the narrator of Sunnah.

[@ibrahimharith9878]

SUNNIS plz kindly remember Surah Tahrim is adminishing Aisha and Hafswa and sadly you cant do nothing about it ,Allah says and we listen and obey

[@CordobaGeneral1234]

Shia please remember that Allah praises the Sahaba in the Quran and you still slander them

[@TheOwlTheOne]

Aisha, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad, was accused of adultery in the incident known as the "Incident of the Slander" or "Hadith al-Ifk." This event took place in the 6th year of the Hijri calendar Maria al-Qibtiyya was accused of adultery around the year 9 AH (after Hijra) Surah An-Nur (Chapter 24 of the Quran) was revealed in the 6th year of the Hijri calendar, which corresponds to around 627 CE So your accusation is false

[@Thaqlain]

Not all scholars agree that Surah al-Nur was revealed in 6th year of Hijra. In fact, for most scholars, the only proof that Surah al-Nur was revealed in the 6th year is because the alleged incident of Ayesha bint Abi Bakr's happened in that year :) However, there are verses in the Surah and some corpus proofs that this Surah was revealed much later.

[@TheOwlTheOne]

@@Thaqlain Interesting, do you have any sources which I can look up

[@Thaqlain]

You can see the following Sunni sources: This is addressing some verses of Sura Nur and it says it was revealed year 9 AH: www.islamweb.net/amp/ar/library/content/61/2263/مقدمة-السورة alim.ws/متى-نزلت-سورة-النور/ This important Qur’an encyclopedia confirms it was around year 8: shamela.ws/book/21769/1458 quranpedia.net/surah/4/24/book/460

[@ibrahimharith9878]

If just listen to the content of the verse the translation of it and the Bukhari version of Hadith you will realise the version of Hadith isnt sound ,keep an open mind use any translation of the verse you will realise the believers r told ,why did you consider the doubt ? The hadith is saying the prophet (SAW) himself doubted ,does this make sense ? Before you insult the shia at least get the point in the video Aisha nor his father will judge the believers ,yet Allah the Truth is a Lord of Justice

[@aqibsheikh96]

You are not right. It does not say that prophet doubted her. Just that the prophet was uncertain as to what to do? Allah knkws best

[@Thaqlain]

As Sayed as mentioned, the Bukhari's version does indicate that the Prophet doubted her. If there was no doubt, why would the Prophet change his interaction with her?

[@fadelalkarbalai9766]

First again

[@SwordofAllah1234]

The way you say thing like you are prophet of Allah😁.

[@Backtogoldenageofislam]

Now here shaykhs objections are very weak and clearly imaginary...his arguments look like khawarij arguments...may Allah protect us from these misguided

[@Thaqlain]

Calling someone's arguments as weak require proofs 🙂

[@Shahikbabu]

If Quran says good things about her then who are you people Please do not insult our prophet any more It will only help Zionist people

[@Thaqlain]

We have covered what Quran says about her already 🙂

[@ibrahimharith9878]

Go read Surah Tahrim babu ,being informed is free ,Surah Tahrim verse 3-4 ,if the Quran says good about her ,if you are well versed with something best thing remain silent ,not difficult if you think about it

[@ibrahimharith9878]

If you not well versed with something be quiet for the sake of Allah

[@badolgiringya5035]

Congratulations for deleting my comment catching your liar speaker, Thaqlain. But Allah SWT knows I commented and thats enough for me! Lie all you want, but we all have to die and bring back to life. Fear Allah SWT and fear that day.

[@Thaqlain]

Salaam Alaykum. The only comments that are deleted are the ones containing hate speech. And we don't discriminate in that. Also, if there is a lie, share your counterargument; there is no reason we will delete it, as the entire reason we have kept comments open is that Muslims from different schools can share their opinions backed through Quran or historical narrations.

[@badolgiringya5035]

@@Thaqlain hate speech? Then you should delete all the videos of this speaker who is blatantly lying about our Prophet (SAW) and all believers mother Aisha (RA) and other Sahabas (RA). Hes saying again and again NO one was lashed but 3 people were lashed 80 times! So how about deleting the video Thaqlain because clearly its a hate speech against us Muslims? And why doesnt he read the whole hadith? Because it doesnt let him misguide the sheep!

[@Thaqlain]

The principal instigator of this entire incident according to Ummul Momineen Ayesha was Abdullah ibn Ubayy. Can you please share references that he was given 80 whips?

[@badolgiringya5035]

@@Thaqlain I'll answer that because alhamdulillah we don't rely on lies but do you agree that your speaker blatantly lied? Seems like you do. Your questions answer was given in my first comment which you deleted because you didn't have any answers! But since you asked I'll reply again, Ibn Ubayy wasn't lashed because he didn't come forward. He was a known munafiq and after his death ALLAH SWT revealed the 80th verse from surah tawbah declaring ALLAH SWT will never forgive him and other hypocrites like him. So don't be a hypocrite and acknowledge that your speaker lied.

[@Thaqlain]

1) So you are saying that under Islamic law, a chief instigator of a crime will be left unpunished by the state just because 'he didn't come forward'? 2) What does not come forward mean when Ayesha herself counts him as the source of this evil? 3) What about other people who joined him? Were there only three people who talked about this, and it made Prophet so upset that he left his favourite wife for a month unattended while she was sick? Or did he not trust her in the first place? 4) What about companions? How come they were ready to accuse a Mother of Believers and favourite wife of the Prophet? 5) They knew the chief instigator was a Munafiq. Yet, they propagated his propaganda. And Prophet, too, accepted it while knowing all this?

[@jimmykahn5431]

What the Shia are saying basically is that the prophet was a bad judge of character in choosing his wife and companions.

[@thestrongguy1]

He was giving everyone a chance. He didn't know the future unless told by Allah.

[@jimmykahn5431]

@@thestrongguy1 buy the imams can tell the future and the past. Just shows that the Shia revere Hazrat Ali and his descendants higher than the prophet pbuh .

[@thaqal4yn]

you obviously have not watched the previous videos, I highly suggest you watch one of the earlier videos titled "Why Prophet married Aisha and Hafsa" ep 185 as to the reasons why he married these 2.

[@YaShaheed]

@@jimmykahn5431 Nuh (as) was a bad judge of character then, according to you. And Lut (as). Sad truth is, you probably have no idea what I’m talking about

[@Eloquence77]

Our beloved prophet( peace be upon him and his family )was going through the tests of life other prophets were tested with their wives like prophet Lut pbuh and Nuh Pbuh. His marriage to Aisha was a Test And having some unloyal companions was a revelation that riches and power corrupts people. In my opinion its a way Allah shows us our natures and to stay away from the lusts of this dunya..Subhanallah !!
