Hazrat Aisha was 19, not 9 at marriage time? by Dr Zakir Naik

Dr Zakir Naik throw some light on article that published at Hindustan Times about Hazrat Aisha (Radi-Allahu-Anha)'s Real Age at Marriage Time ...
/ muslimspeakers

[@toukiramir]

Prophet Muhammad has said a lot of things at that time..that science is discovering today..he said those thing thousands of years ago...i can give u many evidences that Muhammad (saw ) was a true Prophet..

[@ayesh4646]

Salaam, Exactly my point. e.g. A girl can reach puberty at 6 that does not mean she can manage her wealth or achieved full strength.

[@angelsevil2002]

You made an amazing point :) a wrong marriage between old man with too young girl will surely make her mentally sick &damage her character. But, go and read more about Aisha from the same book you used to find her age when she got married, then tell me who she was. Aisha was ready to get married. During her life with the prophet &after his death, she was woman leader, teacher, very wise, strong &brave woman. Use your brain &the full reality & read everything, not just what you hear from others

[@ayesh4646]

Salaam, Quran doesn't say puberty as the age of marriage . It says marriageable age as "someone who is matured enough to control there own property and sound judgment "

[@miya8348]

Zakir Naik is also saying she was 9.

[@gamerroyal659]

My mother born in 1930's had no idea what exactly her date and year of birth were but Aisha R A knew her age at the age of six exactly. Wow! Aisha RA was 3 years younger than Fatima who was 28 when prophet PBUH died making Aisha 25. Her marriage lasted 8 years so she was 17 when she married and that quote in bukhari is just some misunderstanding as Aisha was married before in childhood to another man and got divorced before moving to madina

[@TheDrpak]

"hazrat" is a word used for respect , usually used in urdu language . This word is used before name of prophets and sahabas(companions of prophet peace be upon him)

[@Pathanl33t]

and FYI, virgin mary was 14 when she gave birth to Jesus (incase you're christian). Legal age of marriage in texas: 14. About 100 years ago that used to be 10. It's all about context and maturity. In the prophets time when there was no media, fashion, accessories, games and other things that keep us childish, women and men matured mentally and physically by the age of 10-14. It was a harsh physical life they had to go through, incomparable by age and mentality to women and men of today.

[@raffan1]

"If you decide to be muslim and don't want your daughter to get married till she's 20, that's fine " well that does not mean if my 6-7 year old comes to me and says "that I want to marry that uncle next door and the uncle wants to marry me too",i will let my child in to marriage.

[@angelsevil2002]

My friend, one more time, go study more about Aisha and see who she was, then study the Islamic history and see who is the greatest woman scholar since the last 14 centuries! SHE IS AISHA, of course... This could never be the case of a sexual abused and insulted girl. So, by those PSYCHOLOGICAL facts, Aisha was never abused sexually and never been insulted... You and many heart-blind people may need to re-think and stop being stubborn. May the Creator guide us all to his right path

[@sa..owayam3858]

But if they turn away [from thee, O Prophet, know that] We have not sent thee to be their keeper: thou art not bound to do more than deliver the message [entrusted to thee]. (Ash-Shura 42:48) In yet another verse, Allah addresses the issue of harming non-Muslims: Thus, if they let you be, and do not make war on you, and offer you peace, God does not allow you to harm them. (An-Nisaa' 4:90)

[@ayesh4646]

“Say : ‘I do not control any benefit or harm for my own soul except as Allah pleases; had I known the Unseen I would have had much of good and no evil would have touched me; I am nothing but a warner and the giver of good news to a people who believe.’” (Quran, 7:188)

I always wanted to publish a video on the same thing. I also knew this from my research. Problem is that most Mullah's these days are not educated and go by hear say. So this video is good. PBUH.

[@maimonaalsharif8505]

no ,she was not ,they said she was nine ,and other said it was lie and he marry her when she was 19 or more,no one said she marry him in the age of 6 ,but any way ,he marry khadiga before her and she was 40 and he was 20

[@Intoxic_p]

it's not society alone that dictates this issue, if the fact that a Grown man can cause physical and mental damage on a girl of that age. that's why society deems it wrong

[@Zenith4mail]

Quran clearly says LYING is a SIN Sahih Muslim Bk 032 No6303: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: A LIAR is not one who tries to bring reconciliation amongst people and speaks good (to avert dispute) or he conveys good. Exemption was NOT granted in anything incase on LIE but in 3 cases: (1) in battle, for bringing reconciliation amongst persons and (2) narration of words of husband to his wife and (3) vice versa (wife to husband in twisted form to bring reconciliation between them)

[@Pathanl33t]

you can believe it to be stockholm syndrome, but in those cases "captives" tend to lash out once they are "free". Ayesha (rah) never once complained about her marriage or her husband even after his death. She had endless words of compassion & love for her late husband. So, the wife of the prophet debunks your stockholm syndrome theory. Also, our prophet was a man. he was a messenger of God, he was not a diety or above humans. We follow only his way of life - in all aspects and not just marriage

[@zahi36501a]

For Once Zakir Naik told the truth Aisha was 9 NOT 19 its in ALL your sahih (authentic) hadithes '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 MUSLIM (Book #008, Hadith #3310)

[@RexGalilae]

So if you think that the people in the past were not knowing about what is good and bad, then why are you accusing Muhammad(P) WHO WAS BORN IN THE 7th CENTURY? Perhaps you thought he was born yesterday?

[@leepatrick1000]

aisha was 9. it is fully documented.

[@toukiramir]

Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh) actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a mercy for all creatures.Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit.

[@livereek]

‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) married here when she was seven years old, and she was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and here dolls were with her: and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old." Sahih Muslim vol.2:3310,3311 p.716.

[@Pathanl33t]

I'm anything but ill-educated. I've converted 13 people to Islam from 7 different nationalities: 3 of which were atheist, 5 hindus (from 3 different sub classes), 4 christians, and 1 orthodox catholic. Not because i'm amazing - but because i referred them to the Quran. THEN if they had questions i "helped" them. Ill-educated? I'll just throw my PhD, MBA, BBA out of the window then.

[@bigman3xl]

And another thing. (I usually forget about telling this). Do not rely on people telling lectures on youtube without reading about the subject yourself. There is always two, if not many more, sides to the theories they present. The most important thing is that we learn, and understand eachother. Some people like apples other dont.

[@Pathanl33t]

Islam in its purest and original method of teaching shows us how to be better human beings. I will agree with those who say that the Islamic world today is not ideal - but flawed. That's completely true - and a fault of our divided and segregated leaders. Those leaders who do not support countries like Palestine, Libya, Iraq, Syria. But watch on the sidelines. Even if Iraq had a dictator, muslim countries should have united against him. Islam teaches, people dont follow.

i wasn't trying to spreading islam rather i was just trying to tell you holy prophet(p.b.u.h) intentions in the start to this topic.. if he would had wanted he would had married all these womens in his youth but rather he married a 40 year old twice widowed women and until she was alive he did not marry anyone else

aisha r.a. was around 19 years old when she got married to Paygambar s.a.v.; If she remembers in Makkah and she declares she lived as a moslim at home and she moves to Madina so we can easiliy understand logical or historical, or reading hadith or about her sisters age , etc..etc... how we count it ; the result is 19

ok i will take a look at these...thank you

[@psychlopes1976]

You were trying to claim that the verse you referenced allows marriage to a girl who hadn't reached puberty, which I just showed you was a lie. So, instead of answering my rebuttal, you changed the subject to marriage to young women in general, and yes, in Islam puberty is considered to be the age for eligibility for marriage, and no Muslim will tell you otherwise. So, you're being deceptive :)

[@TheTubemein]

So what does the word 'child' have in relationship with this marriage?

[@ayesh4646]

Buckari volume 9 book 93 number 477 'Aisha said, "If anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen his Lord, he is a liar, for Allah says: 'No vision can grasp Him.' (6.103) And if anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen the Unseen, he is aliar, for Allah says: "None has the knowledge of the Unseen but Allah." This hadeeth contradict other hadeeth that says Nabi Muhammed Knew the unseen

it's not even funny....

[@maimonaalsharif8505]

he marry khadiga in the age of 40 and he was 20 ,ok ,and some of religious ppl said our prophet did not marry isha in the age of 9 ok ,and even though ,i feel that the reason why he marry her because she can carry his message long years after his death ,because she was so close to him

[@RexGalilae]

Thank you for the sympathy!! First of all, in a time when wives would be easily used to raped and maimed by their husbands who have 40 more wives, I don't think that was humane at all!!! Islam came to eliminate such a thing. And yes, we are not allowed to marry more than one wives if we cannot keep the previous wife happy and if she doesn't want me to get married twice, then she's unhappy and thus, I'm not allowed to do so. In islam, women control men and that was at a time when women=animals!!

[@zeynabfhal8320]

My husband is with me, infact he is the one who showed me the truth. I was very defensive at first. But seeing his friend doing a disgusting act, I became convinced.

"Yahya b. Abbad b. Abdullah b. al-Zubayr from his father told me that he heard Aisha say: "The apostle died in my bosom during my turn: I had wronged none in regard to him. It was due to my ignorance and extreme youth that the apostle died in my arms."" (Guillaume, A., The Life of Muhammad, a translation of Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, Oxford University Press, Karachi, Pakistan, page 682). A’isha said she was an extreme youth when Mohammed died.

[@livereek]

When Hadrat ‘A’isha passed nine years of married life, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) fell in mortal sickness. On the 9th or the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal 11 A.H., he left this mortal world…Hadrat ‘A’isha was eighteen years of age at the time when the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed away and she remained a widow for forty-eight years till she died at the age of sixty-seven." Sunan Nasa’i 1 #18 p.108

[@Pathanl33t]

Sura An-Nisa (Surah 4: verse 6) Also: 22:5 40:67 6:152 17:34 46:15 and so on. All talk about "reaching full strength" or "until they are able to marry" This covers the "puberty" part. As for the consent: 2:232 "Do not prevent them from marrying their husbands when they agree between themselves in a lawful manner" Also: 4:21 "Agreement between man and wife" 2:232 again goes on to say that divorced women may marry again "of their own consent and agreement"

[@toukiramir]

4. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) mentioned by name in the old testament: Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16: “Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem.” “His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.”

[@psychlopes1976]

It's not wrong to begin with, the standards are different these days, but it's always been the case that a girl who reached puberty was ready for marriage and the same goes for boys. What I was getting it was showing the hypocrisy of Christians screaming foul at the marriage of the prophet and Isha when they themselves believe that it was OK for the virgin Marry and Joseph. Not a two wrongs make a right argument.

[@عريفبنباسوكي]

Muslims use phrases like "Allaah with us", but it is not physically. He is with us with His power and His knowledge. He knows everything we do and is able to do anything to us, including helping us. Even in radio and TV people say things like "stay with us at channel ..." it's a common metaphor

[@toukiramir]

"Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is almost the translation of the Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter.

[@angelsevil2002]

I fully replied to your comment. So far you haven't replied to any of my question!! Why? In the Middle Ages, when people were actually majority Christians in Europe, &they were very-very religious, it was normal for a girl to get married in 12-14 years old. In the age of 12 she considered to be ready for marriage &they used to plan already for her future. In India until now they can marry babies when they are just born, &this is not ancient times. You are not God to call any tribe a sinner :)

[@sa..owayam3858]

PART 4: Similarely im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present.

[@Pathanl33t]

There's a reason these man made laws exist. women and men of today mature at a much, much more later age both physically and mentally then they did 1400 years ago. (Lazy lifestyle, video games, fashion, media, celebrities, boy bands) things like these keep you childish. So no one "wants" to marry early anyway. 1400 years ago, people lived a harsh physical life and matured faster. She consented to the marriage, he did as well, she loved and adored him. What's the problem here?

[@Pathanl33t]

Secondly, islam says that a girl's minimum age for marriage is puberty. (this is what islam teaches us, humans). Now, minimum does not mean you HAVE TO. Even if a girl is forced, if she says no to the marriage she can't get married. So there are two conditions here: Meet the minimum age (as science agrees) and then the girls consent (which is what we do anyway)

[@ToasterWhisperer]

The holy quran says that "actions are judged by intentions" meaning *giving example of your friend* that if ur friend had left islam for non religious regious purposes like if he wanted to marry a women who didn't want to marry a muslim man and he left islam for her then his punishment would be brutal or maybe even death but if he left islam thinking that it didn't satisfy him enough that allah is the real god then i guess there should be little or no punishment

[@Pathanl33t]

I disagree, society inherently dictates the issue. That's why society has laws in developed countries that dictate the minimum marital age for it to be considered legal. Oh and as for the mental and physical part - you're right. But if the girl consents to the marriage then you're wrong. Ayesha (RAH) never once complained about the prophet. she had only love, compassion, respect and admiration for her husband, even after his death when she could have easily said otherwise.

[@toukiramir]

Now IS ENGLISH DIFFICULT or YOUR UNDERSTANDING ? Did Prophet have SEX when she was SIX - NO But when she was NINE - Aisha NEVER complained during the life time of Muhammed NOR after the Death of Prophet (she was 18yrs old AND died about the age of 50yrs) Many HADITHS narrated by Aisha are enough to prove that THEY WERE A HAPPY COUPLE - What should matter ANYBODY ELSE ?

2. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also foretold of everything that would occur to him and his community after him, pertaining to victory, the removal of the tyrannical kingdoms of Chosroes [the royal title for the Zoroastrian kings of Persia] and Caesar, and the establishment of the religion of Islam throughout the earth. These events occurred exactly as Muhammad foretold, as if he was reading the future from an open book.

[@toukiramir]

1 1. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) was raised illiterate, unable to read or write, and remained like that till his death. Among all his people, he was known as being truthful and trustworthy. Before receiving revelation, he had no prior knowledge of Religion or any previously sent Message.

What are you talking about? Verse 65:4 says nothing about girls who did not reach their puberty, it explicitly says "Those who do not get their monthly course".

Are you really that hateful that you're now twisting the meaning of verses to suite your own ends?

He remained like that for his first forty years. Revelation then came to Muhammad with the Koran that we now have between our hands. This Koran mentioned most of the accounts found in the previous scriptures, telling us about these events in the greatest detail as if he witnessed them. These accounts came precisely as they were found in the Torah sent down to Moses and in the Gospel sent down to Jesus. Neither the Jews or Christians were able to belie him regarding anything that he said.

What exactly is your point? Today the normal age in Texas is 14. About a 100 years later people will call that perverted. In Indonesia it's 19. About 300-500 years later people will call that perverted too. It's time and context. In those days, 9-14 was considered NORMAL. Just as it was practiced by Europe, Asia and the arab world. Hell, until 100 years ago 10 was a normal age in the US. I fail to see your point.

[@Zenith4mail]

Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 68: Narrated 'Aisha: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! A virgin feels shy." He said, "Her consent is (expressed by) her silence" In Islam the marriage is possible only if the GIRL CONSENTS otherwise the Parents have the Right

Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236: Narrated Hisham's father: Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six(6) years of age, and he CONSUMMATED(Had sex with) that marriage when she was nine(9) years old... Bukhari is authentic

[@raffan1]

aisha was married at 6 years of age, Now go and ask your 6 year old will she marry a 50 year old , this is nonsense. A child has the right to choose his husband ? i hope that runs in your family, not mine.

[@bigman3xl]

Here is an example from the Quran. [Surah Yunus (Chapter Jonah - 10) Verses 13 and 14:] Translation by Thomas Cleary (non-Muslim): "We destroyed communities before you when they did wrong. Their messengers came to them with clarifications, but they could not believe. Thus do We requite sinful people. (13). Then We made you successors on earth after them, that We might see how you act. (14). "

[@raffan1]

Texas law:If you are between 16 and 17 years old, you may apply for a marriage license only if you have written parental consent on an official form in the presence of the county clerk or if you have received an order from the Texas district court authorizing your marriage." Under 16 you have to go to the court and apply for it which has almost a 100% chance of being rejected as it is not an "islamic court"(thank goat).

[@Zenith4mail]

There were more than 1lac Muslims during the last sermon of Prophet Muhammed. Aisha and every Muslim believed what Prophet narrated b'cos he gave them proves of what he saw on the way to Jerusalem and when the Quresh [enemies] cross verified they confirmed the same. Aisha was 9yrs when she reached puberty and Prophet consummated their marriage. Why are you stuck at 9yrs - GROW-UP ? After Death of the Prophet she had her options open. Your TEXT conveys that she believed and Trusted the Prophet

[@livereek]

But you would allow muslims who hated non-muslims.

[@flamifer1]

Yes, to me, who is not very familiar with the quran it all sounds a bit odd. But it is all done for the greater glory of Allah. I am sure.

[@flamifer1]

Muhammad was not a pedophile child abuser, because he was so holy, that the girl mutatated instantly to a woman in his presence. Alah is great! Another miracle to prove that the quran is the true word of god.
