Ending the Debate on Aisha (ra)'s Age - Sh. Omar Suleiman | Lecture

- #OmarSuleiman #YaqeenInstitute #IslamicLectures Our mother Aisha (ra) is not just a number. For over 1400 years, her age was never the subject of a controversy or a defining trait. In Islamic history, she shines as a noble scholar and sage. Yet in recent years, her age at the time of marriage to the Prophet (peace be upon him) has become a favorite talking point of Islamophobes, and cause of doubt for young Muslims.
This lecture by Sh. Omar Suleiman is a conclusion to the recent 4-paper collection titled, "More Than Just a Number: Perspectives on the Age of Aisha (ra)".

“I swear by Allah, none of you truly believes until you trust Allah more than you trust that which is in your hands” Aisha (RA)
Anyone knows the source of this hadith ?
Is the Hadith more important or the Koran ? I’m learning about Islam, can anyone help ?
@@MenacingRabbit hadiths were written by people during prophet(PBUH) life and after He passed away too so hadiths could be corrupted but Quran will remain same till the judgment day because it's promised by Allah Almighty
@@zahid7505 but most hadiths that are found in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are authentic and hadiths written by Ibn Maja,Tirmithi,Abu Dawood and Nasa'y also mostly authentic.
syed zaid these Hadiths didn’t get released until around 200 years after the death of prophet (SWS) how do we know they are authentic if people have different view points of things they hear ?

@@excelsior31107 Was the oxford student disctionary around 1400 years ago? Of course not! Was Oxford university around then? no! Was even Oxford, the town, founded? I'm not even sure about that
The point is, why do people need to follow what the student dcitinary says? it isn't divine guidance.
Yes, to your second point, many of the Arabs where ignorant pagans, unaware of God's laws. they did stupid and evil stuff, as ignorant people tend to do. But after guidance came to them through the Prophet many converted. It's important to note that the Prophet, his family, and a few others where Chrtisans during that time, not like the other pagans. and Christians then didn't believe Jesus was god or anything (search "Ebionite Christians").
Muslims don't bow to any stone. they bow to God
God who is above all creations, in the Eighth Heaven.
Not a false Prophet. there's scientific Miracles in the Quran that prove that Islam is true. the Bibe prophesied the coming of a last Messenger:
"I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. 13However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come."
Also,I agree with your last point. The Saudi leadership is very bad.
Why is this video, not the first thing that comes up when anyone searches about this topic? WOW. He just saved me. Subhan Allah.
The guy claims that a 9 year old girl from the 7th century had an adult body.
The guy said that since this 9-year-old girl had reached puberty, she was an adult and therefore mature enough to be with a 54 yo man.
How can you trust this nonsense?
Who is this guy ? Is he IBN Katir ? Tabari ? Or maybe you just heard a reassuring speech that downplayed the fact that your prophet slept with a 9-year-old girl.
Ask why other Islamic scholars dont have this same take and why there is disagreement among even the most studied Muslims
@@9pdaghistory cultural things extra plays a role i assure you aysha ra was mature women and her age can be marked cultuarally
Because there was tradition of marking age of women after they hit puberty if you want resources i would say CZcams and scroll there will be a website link for Islamic teaching history check it out. And the age of asma ra if connect it all together do your research. I had already done mine
Various resources, views, and numerical doc i substracted added divided for approximate age wallahi she was more than 9.and i am not saying sahih bukhari is wrong hope you got my point

"understanding the age of our mother Aisha ra. doesn't mean that we support child marriage" the highlight of this beautiful lecture
Jazakallahu Khair, may Allah Bless our scholar, Syaikh Omar Suleiman with many blessing
unfortunately for most non Muslims this lecture just means that people like Sh. Omar Sulaiman and his followers don't support child marriages. What he said doesn't reflect what people think inside Yemen or Afghanistan with regards to child marriage (according to their opinion, and yes I've spoken to a lot of Americans regarding this and they still feel antsy if you give them the anthropology explanation).
not really. pubescent marriages! NOT Children you fool. Grow Up!!!

Ayesha's age is a non-issue--except to haters of Islam. She was a remarkable person, and the Prophet (PBUH) was not just any ordinary human.
@F S definitely we all have a devine purpose, you should really empty your cup and approach islam with and empty cup and a open mind. Perhaps you may leave fulfilled with the reality of what you find if you are sincere and honest in your intention. Good intentions yield good fruits and bad intentions yield bad fruits.
@F S Do you know what is the definition of a prophet? Or Do you believe in God and that he sent "Super Heroes" ;) to guide mankind?
Look mate this is the way god planned it accept it or reject it that's your choice. 1500 years ago is not ancient times mate mankind is much longer on this earth and ancient times in my mind would be much much more ancient then 1500 years ago. I doubt you even watched this video but you commenting. Everyone on this earth is receiving Divine assistance every day, some more than others depending on your connection and relationship with god. Everyone is entitled to divine assistance however not everyone is equal. Just like a person who has more intelligence than others not everyone has the same connection with god. Only prophets were blessed with stronger connection with god than the rest of us. Anyway your mind is very set up on one idea and that is a very distorted view of islam. The quran itself is a miracle and also the prophet himself a miracle. The quran is a miracle which is available to you now in this modern time. Just like me you also need to not take out one specific message or just focus on the controversial issues as your argument. Please watch this video again and also please answer my question.
@F S In Biblical times people were married at a very young age. Girls were usually betrothed before they reached puberty - majority of the time the marriage would have consummated when the girl reached puberty, and that was usually between the ages of 8, 9 or older,(Note: when a girl reached puberty prior to the 20th century, she was considered to be an adult in most cultures/societies). In this article I will mostly quote Scholarly sources to prove that marriage in ancient Israelite times took place at a very young age, sometimes the girls who were married off were pre-pubescent. There was no law against a pre-pubescent girl being married off. Actually as you will read further, you will come to realise that the Mishnah gave approval for a Man to have intercourse to a betrothed girl, any-time after the age of three years old.

“Rabbi Solomon in his comment on Genesis, says that Rebecca, when she was married to Isaac, was but three Years of Age. His words run thus, ‘When Abraham was come from Mount Moria, he received the joyful News of Rebecca. Isaac was at that Time Thirty seven years old; and then did Sarah die. The time, from birth of Isaac to the death of Sarah, was Thirty seven Years, And Sarah was Ninety Years old when Isaac was born; and One Hundred and Twenty Seven Years old when she died: As it is said in Gen 23:1 . Sarah was one hundred and twenty-seven years old. Behold, the Age of Isaac was Thirty Seven Years, at the Time of the Birth of Rebecca. And when he had waited for her three Years, till she was fit for marriage, he took her to wife.”
According to this Account, Rebecca was a very notable Girl at three years of age. But that a girl of three Years old is fit for marriage, is maintained very plainly in the Jewish writings; particularly, in Emek Hamelech, in the following passage, ‘our blessed sags, of blessed memory, say, that a female is not fit for marriage, ‘till she is arrived at the Age of three years and one day.’
gary lantow-humble Correct, a better word is pederast.
The haters of Islam changed the image of Aisha in my mind from a positive one to a negative one over the years. Thank you for reminding me of the character of our mother, and how beautiful their marriage was. I love my Ummah, truly.
Then you need to do sth Akhi
Her character is not the point. The fact that she was groomed from an extremely young age is the point. Muhammads character is what muslims are so afraid to objectively look at
@@sadiez11Do watch the video with an open mind
Hadith Bukhari 5134 , Moslim 1422 says that she was a child playing with dolls.
The problem here is not Aisha but the prophet sleeping with a 9 yo girl .

This issue of Aisha (ra)'s age was on my head the whole morning today even as i was reading and listening to Quran. Now im watching this as tears come to eyes and i have goosebumps. May Allah bless his last messenger and our beloved mother as well as Shaikh Omar for sharing his knowledge.
This lecturer spends a lot of time trying to argue that a little girl was mature enough to be an adult, which I think is ridiculous and unnecessary. There was already evidence in the Quran and some hadiths that Aisha was older, not a little girl. Oxford University scholar Dr. Joshua Little has debunked the Aisha marital age hadith and all derivative hadiths with his 2022 PhD thesis, the most comprehensive academic study ever done on the subject of Aisha’s marital age Hadith. Watch his lecture for details "Why the Aisha Marital Age Hadith is a FORGERY: An EXCLUSIVE Lecture by Dr. Joshua Little".
According to Ibn Kathir: ‘Asma was ten years elder to her sister Aisha
[Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah (8/371)]
Now let us look at age of Asma (ra) when she passed away:
According to Ibn Hajr Al-Asqalani: Asma (ra) lived for 100 years and she died in 73 or 74 AH
(Taqrib ut Tahdhib)
So Asma was 28 when she migrated to Medina. That means Aisha (ra) was 18 when she migrated to Medina. And she shifted to the Prophet’s ﷺ house within a year of two after the Hijrah (migration). That proves that Aisha (ra) was between 19-21 when she consummated her marriage with the Prophet ﷺ
If child marriages we're permissible wouldn't you believe that so, why would there be quran verse about

Most girls hit puberty by age 11, so its ok for us to sleep with 11 year old girls? Justify it as much as you like, in the end the main prophet of your religion slept with a 9 year old child.
Who is this guy ? Is he IBN Katir ? Tabari ?
I'm sorry but you've just heard a reassuring speech that downplayed the fact that your prophet slept with a 9-year-old girl.
There are at least 14 hadiths Sahi that spoke about her age 6/7 yo when she got married and 9yo when he consumed the marriaged. Moslim 1422 , Bukari 5134
In the hadiths we read that she played with dolls and swung on a swing.
I am African American and my maternal Aunt got married at 13 or 14 years old. She has now been married for 70 years.
good point. muslim divorce rates are very low. some call it fear, some call it indoctrination
13 or 14 is significantly different from 6 or 9.
How old was her husband (one of my great-grandmothers married at 13, but her husband was 15, not a grown-ass adult)?
Ms Rana Not much physically. Women are still gaining height until their mid-teens and our pelvises are still widening until our early 20s. Having an fully-grown adult male, who is going to likely be larger than a teenager, mate with a young teen is not in the girl’s best interest physically. Not to mention the increased potential for abuse due to the increased disparity both between physical size and societal power on many levels.
That's how it was back then
My mom was married when she was 15 and that was completely alright at her time. Now 20 years later it is not normal even in her village.
that is modern thinking, why is allah not modern like the village people?
DID your mum have sexual intercourse when she was nine, would you be ok with that? If your mum had sex at 9yrs old or if you had daughters would you be ok with them having sex at 9yrs. If you are ok with such behavior, how do you justify that. Having an issue with 9yr old children having sex/raped is not anti Islamic it is pro human.
@Uthman The Muslim
Uthman there is logic behind it, if love is logic. You love and care for your daughter, that is what's behind it.
Please can you explain to be also how you accept, like when Muhammad defeated that jewish tribe and rounded up all the male members of that tribe and any that had reached puberty and I think that was done by if they had pubic hair, he had them all beheaded and that night raped the wife of the chief of that tribe. Who had earlier that day witnessed all her male relatives being beheaded, like do you then say that he was the most beautiful human ever created. In 7th century Arabia that might have been the way but come on it's not godly, it's not righteous as having slaves, sex slaves is not. Please and I mean this, can you explain that to me. How you except this as the model to live your life.
@Uthman The Muslim
I'm going to try and find the links for you, I never asked you to give up anything, I asked you how you accepted how Muhammad behaved towards non muslims. I'm not religious but am spiritual. I don't believe any abrahamic faith is correct. I do believe this amazing universe with its billions and billions of solar systems didn't come from nothing and I believe that light, ie sun light certainly sustains life and that people should try to be a light in their lifes, i.e. treat people with decency and honesty. Tell me this, do muslims adopt children?

@@sadiez11do better
@@sadiez11What is that dumb argument, it‘s like saying when someone smiles because for example they debunked the Rebecca age, then I couldn’t also say what you say because that doesn’t make sense
Personally, if a person were to ask me whether or not the Prophet married a child, I would answer by saying, "you tell me what you think her age was: the books of history show that she was mentally stable to the point that she was abe to do household chores, interact and debate with people at an intelligent level despite them being senior to her, witness battles and help treat the wounded, and was able to do all that without suffering any psychological or emotional setbacks. So now you tell me how old do you think she was?"
What I'm saying is that after giving all the evidences proving her maturity as an adult woman, I would ask that person to ask themselves how old they think she was. They'll definitely say that it sounds like she was in fact a fully developed adult, and that way I don't have to give them a free lesson in human anthropology :D
Well, the Prophet had to wait for some three years before the marriage was consummated. He did marry Aisha before the onset of her puberty.
From your name, you seem to be Hindu. I do not want to go into details here, but keep in mind we are not talking about two average (Ayesha and the Prophet) people here. Ayesha was beautiful and highly intelligent--men and women came to here to better understand the Quran. Someone once asked a great sufi: "Was Muhammad a man?". The sufi answered: "Yes, he was a man, but to say he was just a man is like saying a diamond is just another stone." I think you get the point. Shanti!!!
@@xvarshney2690 yah so that basically shows it wasn't for inappropriate intent, he legit waited for three years and they were happy. Kinda shows the actual relationship they had was more pure than how so many try to pretend it was. Nowadays people don't even wanna have a relationship if they don't do it in the first couple of dates so... Think of it not with how this current world goes, that's the main misconception
@@xvarshney2690 show me which verse prophet (pbuh) married Aisha before puberty. I'm wondering the verse on that. You it is possible to reach puberty as young as 6. That is possible.
Except that 9-year-olds, even mentally mature ones, are not physically developed enough to safely bear children. Since the age of onset of menstruation has gotten younger over the centuries, it’s very likely that he consummated the marriage (when she was 9) before she even began menstruating, before she developed pubic hair, and possibly before she even had much breast development. Physically, a child, and no where near old enough to safely (on average) make it through a pregnancy and childbirth.
Wallahi i hear and i believe. I do not question anything in the Quran and sunnah. Islam is perfect , our Prophet sallalahu alayhi wa salam was perfect. May Allah make us obey him unconditionally without even questioning anything in islam ameen

17 years ago, my husband was 25 years old and his father thought he was too young to marry. If my children want to marry at 18 years old we would be worried of how they will handle family.

@@Parmenides7 Did you even watch the video? Marriage 1450 years ago compared to the 21st century are two completely different things. Isn't it ironic that only recently people have brought up the marriage of Aisha (RA) as an issue but nobody during the Prophets time used that as an excuse? There is both a physical/biological and psychological difference between a 9-year old female 1450 years ago compared to that of today. Surely it would be considered disgusting for you to marry a 9-year old girl today because of the culture you're in but during the Prophet's time, Christians, Jews, and others who had problems with Muhammed (SAW) never thought of that as an issue. Coincidence? I think not
@@Parmenides7 10:50 U should start from this part of the video. It's where he gives dives into the meat of the issue
PhD Alex Jonson Muhammad and all the Prophets/Messengers of this world were perfect in the sense that they were incapable of “major sin” which even Omar explains. If they were created with any room for error, they wouldn’t pray or have the need to ask for forgiveness. And you’re right the Quran and Hadith can never change and unlike many Holy Scriptures never did change, but there is a concept of evolving contexts. That is why we have scholars to debate on circumstances today. Many women during the prophets time, even before the prophets time, got married young, and had kids at the age of 12-13, even the mother of Jesus, Maryam. Age difference was not a problem during those times that is why no one sought to attack the prophet with that until the 21st century
Without*
PhD Alex Jonson Dude were just gonna go on and on. I’m going to just sum it up here. In Islam, 3 things are required for marriage from a females perspective. Puberty, maturity, and consent. Our mother Aisha (RA) had all 3. And comparing the Earth is flat to this is utter nonsense. If the Quran said the Earth is flat, I would not be a Muslim today. There is scientific justification for that. Quran is the way of life and any ambiguities are to be interpreted through the prophet. The psychosocial maturity of Aisha surpassed that of most 9 year olds in today’s time period as did the mother of Jesus and thousands of other women at the time, who were marrying at much greater age differences than that of the prophet. In no way am I claiming the Quran and the authentic Sunnah to be wrong. Understanding society, women, and marriage at the time of Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and today are crucial. Similar to how people today view the hijab. Christians will come up to a Muslim woman and claim it’s oppression, backwards, and downright barbaric. However in the meantime, the mother of their Lord wore the exact same thing.

It's like laughing at Jesus and saying why did he always ride a donkey instead of driving a car or flying in a plane? Coz there were no cars or planes in Jesus time. The only mode of transport was the donkey so he rode the donkey however ridiculous it may seem to us in our age. You can't judge Jesus by our standards today. In the same way you can't judge Prophet Muhammad by our standards today. He lived 1500 years ago. In his time, the common culture of the Arabian peninsula and the World at large especially and including Europe was the marriage of young girls. That was the old World culture which some people still practice today even in America. It was as socially acceptable in those days as slavery was and many other things which we condemn today as socially unacceptable.

@@edward1412 well- I would say NO. In our society and what is culturally acceptable that would not be ok. But 1400+ years ago it was different. It was normal to marry after you hit puberty. My grandma got married at 13 and she had a long happy marriage. That was 60 years ago. Times have changed. What’s ok now probably wouldn’t be ok then and vice Versa
@@edward1412 ok… let’s say what your trying to say is right (which it isn’t) he was a human. He desired women.. and so what?? Go him he did it in the most moral manner 👍🏼
@@edward1412 😂😂😂 don’t compare yourself dude. Not every woman. His wives. The majority widowed lonely women. And remember at the time they (women) were vulnerable and at more risk. Anyway. You’ll never get it unless you open your mind a bit. Allah guides whom He wills
Let’s think about this rationally. Your logic would apply when you look back and consider the average man or even the kings of the past. They couldn’t know any better and they’re not held to a perfect moral standard.
However, Allah is timeless, Allah is all-knowing and Allah is all-powerful. Therefore Allah would know that fucking kids would be very detrimental to them, both physically and mentally, especially when the only benefit for the man is a hedonistic pleasure. So since Allah knows this, wouldn’t you think that in his ‘final book’ and ‘final message’, he would tell his most favoured prophet that these things are wrong? Wouldn’t he also tell Muhammad that taking sex slaves is wrong?
Muhammad is supposed to be the most perfect man morally, declared such so in the Quran by Allah as an example that we should follow, correct? If the Quran is the final message and Allah is timeless, that therefore means that we can apply those morals to today and we’d be allowed to diddle with kids. But you know that’s wrong, going by your reply, you have to try to rationalise it.
Therefore there’s only 3 select outcomes, either Allah isn’t timeless and therefore couldn’t know the detrimental effects of what his most beloved prophet was doing.
Second outcome is that Allah isn’t a moral entity and doesn’t deem it necessary to tell Muhammad that it’s wrong which therefore destroys the notion that he’s a benevolent God and should be treated as more akin to Satan.
The last outcome is that Muhammad is a deceiver and either made everything up himself or twisted God’s words, which would then beg the question of why did God use this man in the first place or why didn’t he correct the problem.
You cannot counter this position with a rational mind.@@MakeupByMiiso
This video has answered all my questions. Thank you for teaching us this precious lecture. I will value Aisha's (RA) legacy and talk about her with great respect and admiration. May God bless you.
Dear brother kindly watch this video on CZcams too -(End of the peodophile argument by Full metal theist)
@@13dr9 Thank you for sharing the video. It was informative and cleared that Muhammed was not a pedophile. However I still have concerns with child brides being allowed in Islam and that Muhammed who is considered the best role model for humanity married a child for many reasons.
- women/girls who are silent are considered as giving their consent
- if these women/girls are married off then they need to constantly attend to the sexual needs of their husband even if they don't want to and even if its during when they're riding a camel (marital rape)
- There is no family planning and the child/woman must continue to give birth at the risk of losing her own life because healthcare wasn't as advanced back then and even if they were too poor to raise their children (if either they have little income or end up with too many children). Normally most of these children are then sold of to slavery or the weakest are left to die
- It is encouraged in the Quran to first verbally admonish, then forsake in bed and then strike against married women/girls who 'show disloyalty or ill-conduct' by their husbands (psychological abuse and domestic violoence). This leads to many women and girls ending up in abusive relationships because men take advantage of this verse. There are many videos like this one here or the one your reference stating that Aisha was taken well care of by Muhammed and never once abused her. And yet there is the hadith from Aisha herself stating that Muhammed stuck her in the chest and caused her pain after he confronted her and realised that she followed him that night. This is without following the paramaters commanded in the Quran.
I am aware that historically child marriage was considered normal at the time. But Islam did not completely stop this tradition like it did with burying daughters alive, nor did it at least set parameters to protect women and children from ending up in abusive relationships or even recognise their proper rights to consent for marriage, sex and child labour.
Do you have any more information that addresses these specific concerns?

The Noor face of Imam Omar Suleiman
Ma Sha Allah may Allah give him more Noor on the day of judgement Ameen😃
I am beyond proud to carry the name of the mother of the believers
Unfortunately the name you carry is that of a woman who was so bad and disrespectful to the Prophet, that Allah gave the Prophet the option to divorce her and put her in the same class as with the wives of Noah and lot.
Sahih Muslim 1479 a
'Umar b. al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) reported:
When Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) kept himself away from his wives, I entered the mosque, and found people striking the ground with pebblesand saying: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has divorced his wives, and that was before they were commanded to observe seclusion 'Umar said to himself: I must find this (actual position) today. So I went to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) and said (to her): Daughter of Abu Bakr, have you gone to the extent of giving trouble to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)? Thereupon she said: Son of Khattab, you have nothing to do with me, and I have nothing to do with you. You should look to your own receptacle. He ('Umar) said: I visited Hafsa daughter of 'Umar, and said to her: Hafsa, the (news) has reached me that you cause Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) trouble. You know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) does not love you, and had I not been (your father) he would have divorced you. (On hearing this) she wept bitterly. I said to her: Where is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)? Shesaid: He is in the attic room. I went in and found Rabah, the servant of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), sitting on the thresholds of the window dangling his feet on the hollow wood of the date-palm with the help of which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) climbed (to the apartment) and came down. I cried: 0 Rabah, seek permission for me from Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him). Rabah cast a glance at the apartment and then looked toward me but said nothing. I again said: Rabah, seek permission for me from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Rabah looked towards the apartment and then cast a glance at me, but said nothig. I then raised my voice and said: 0 Rabah, seek permission for me from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I think that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is under the impression that I have come for the sake of Hafsa. By Allah, if Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would command me to strike her neck, I would certainly strike her neck. I raised my voice and he pointed me to climb up (and get into his apartment). I visited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and he was lying on a mat. I sat down and he drew up his lower garment over him and he had nothing (else) over him, and that the mat had left its marks on his sides. I looked with my eyes in the store room of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I found only a handful of barley equal to one sa' and an equal quantity of the leaves of Mimosa Flava placed in the nook of the cell, and a semi-tanned leather bag hanging (in one side), and I was moved to tears (on seeing this extremely austere living of the Holy Piophet), and he said: Ibn Khattab, what wakes you weep? I said: Apostle of Allah, why should I not shed tears? This mat has left its marks on your sides and I do not see in your store room (except these few things) that I have seen; Ceasar and Closroes are leading their lives in plenty whereas you are Allah's Messenger. His chosen one, and that is your store! He said: Ibn Khattab, aren't you satisfied that for us (there should be the prosperity) of the Hereafter, and for them (there should be the prosperity of) this world? I said: Yes. And as I had entered I had seen the signs of anger on his face, and I therefore, said: Messenger of Allah, what trouble do you feel from your wives, and if youhave divorced them, verily Allah is with you, His angels, Gabriel, Mika'il, I and Abu Bakr and the believers are with you. And seldom I talked and (which I uttered on that day) I hoped that Allah would testify to my words that I uttered. And so the verse of option (Ayat al-Takhyir) was revealed. Maybe his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in your place wives better than you..." (Ixv. 5). And if you back up one another against him, then surely Allah is his Patron, and Gabriel and the righteous believers, and the angels after that are the aidera (lvi. 4). And it was 'A'isha, daughter of Abu Bakr, and Hafsa who had prevailed upon all the wives of Allah's Prophet (way peace be upon him) for (pressing them for mote money). I said: Messenger of Allah, have you divorced them? He said: No. I said: Messenger of Allah, I entered the mosque and found the Muslims playing with pebbles (absorbed in thought) and saying: Allah's Messenger has divorced his wives. Should I get down and inform there that you have not divorced them? He said: Yes, if you so like. And I went on talking to him until I (found) the signs of anger disappeared on his face and (his seriousness was changed to a happy mood and as a result thereof) his face had the natural tranquillity upon it and he laughed and his teeth were the most charming (among the teeth) of all people. Then Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) climbed down and I also climbed down and catching hold of the wood of the palm-tree and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came down (with such ease) as if he was walking on the ground, not touching anything with his hand (to get support). I said: Messenger of Allah, you remained in your apartment for twenty-nine days. He said: (At times) the month consists of twenty-nine days. I stood at the door of the mosque and I called out at the top of my voice: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has not divorced his wives (and it was on this occasion that this) verse was revealed:" And if any matter pertaining to peace or alarm comes within their ken, they broadcast it; whereas, if they would refer it to the Apostle and those who have been entrusted with authority amongst them, those of them who are engaged in obtaining intelligence would indeed know (what to do with) it" (iv 83). And it was I who understood this matter, and Allah revealed the verse pertaining to option (given to the Prophet (may peace be upon him in regard to the retaining or divorcing of his wives).
“O Prophet, why do you make impermissible that which God made allowed to you, seeking to [simply] please your wives. God is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful. Allah has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths. And Allah is your protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise. And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement; and when she informed [another] of it and Allah showed it to him, he made known part of it and ignored a part. And when he informed her about it, she said, “Who told you this?” He said, “I was informed by the Knowing, the Acquainted.” If you two [wives] repent to Allah , [it is best], for your hearts have deviated. But if you cooperate against him - then indeed Allah is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers and the angels, moreover, are [his] assistants. Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allah ], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling - [ones] previously married and virgins.” [66:1-5][
Allah also in this verse Allah tells the Prophet if you divorce them I will give you wives better than them. So if this is the case how is Aisha this great woman she is made out to be.

The virtues of our mother 'Aisha radiAllahu Anha (RA) reached its highest when Allah (SWT) chose for his beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to die within her arms as a commemoration of their heart touching love story. 😍
💕 May Allah SWT allow us to meet with our mother Aisha RA in Jannat ul-Firdous , Allahumma Aameen ....💖
Aisha r.a is one of the most respected women in her time till now in Islam. We don’t talk abt great women of Islam without including her in the conversation. So dignified was she! If her marriage to the Prophet (pbuh) is so despicable in her lifetime, her reputation would have been reflected as such.
His reputation, more so. Which it wasn't, obviously.
His reputation? The best
Most beautiful discussion about Aisha (RA) I have ever heard ❤
I started listening to this brother, then he came, "portraying a Hollywood image of Muslim men, through Mohammad SAW as angry old and abusive and portraying Muslim women through Ayesha RA as vulnerable and in need of rescue" that's when I hit the like and decided to subscribe... It's as if this image of poor defenseless Muslim women is being forced upon the world, even though there are those of us who are coming ahead as military personnel, doctors, engineers, artists, writer, entrepreurs, thought leaders, activists etc. with a scarf on our heads and saying out loud in the media NO ONE FORCED US, WE ARE DOING IT OF OUR OWN LOVE FOR ALLAH.... Still they keep portraying the abuse cases in Muslim world as an evidence for Islam's badness... As if there are no abuse cases in the west... And you were so right when you said it's a part of colonial plan...indeed it's nothing but psychological warfare, no educated person believes their fox new shit, whether Muslim or non Muslim.
Child marriage is not only a problem with Muslims, but in the USA several states have introduced Age limits between 2017 and 2019. Progress is slow, but happens.
This contrasts with Iraq where the government tried to introduce a law lowering the maarriage age to 8 (2017) and yemen where clerics blocked raising the marriage age.
Generally speeaking child-marriages are increasing in many Islamic countries.
Do you not think that degeneration is partly owing to Muahmmed/Aisha's example?
@@cbcc3029 absolutely not, the example of Mohammad SAW and Aisha RA has as much to do with lowering marriage ages in Muslim countries as the engagement ages of Mary AS at 13 to Joseph AS at 90 years to is to the increasing marriage ages in Christian countries, meaning absolutely nothing. The reason I brought Mary AS and Joseph's example here also had partly to do with making you realize that even though these ages were widely held to be true about them, current researchers hold that there is no proof or basis to those numbers. The same goes for Hazrat Aisha's RA age, where one scholar a long time (ago 200 years after her death) wrote that he heard his father say that she was 6 years old at the time of nikah and 9 years old at consummation, also that particular scholar when narrated these 2 narrations was said to suffer from memory loss during that part of his life by many other scholars. Exactly in the same way, many Muslim researchers today hold that there is no proof of her age at the time of marriage, except for the 2 narrations by a scholar whose memory was doubted by other scholars of his time during later part of his life.
Secondly, as it is clear from the above video and you can search in other places as well, lower marriage age has been the norm in asian countries (India, china, arab etc.) since before the time of Mohammad SAW, even if we are to believe that Aisha RA really was 9 at the time of consummation, this marriage was not setting a trend rather following an existing trend in the continent. At that time even european countries and the west had the same age of marriage, that is puberty. A boy and a girl were considered eligible for marriage all over the world at puberty. Today however the west is increasing the legal age of marriage. Not just the age of marriage but even the age of dependency, meaning in many western countries fully grown people are considered CHILDREN until the age of 20. those 20 years olds in a vast majority of cases have become parents of 2 children themselves while still being considered CHILDREN by the state.
Now sir, I have a question for you. Do you think that in the western countries, the alarmingly high number of girls 12 to 13 years olds sleeping around with older men, sneaking boys into their bedrooms, teen moms whose children not only become a burden on state financially but a burden on the mother who can not focus on the children who suffer due to the absence of a father and develop psychological problems, the majority of the population of the west being born out of wedlock has something to do with the increasing age limit of marriage (the most fertile time of the human lifecycle they are not allowed to marry, so they find other ways to fulfill their biological urges)? Not to mention the trend marrying late despite whatever the legal limits?
@ozymandias nullifidian why would you wonder about my beatings? btw I am not with him anymore Alhamdolillah. My Allah got me out, I would never have walked out of that door was it not for my Allah.
@ozymandias nullifidian are you suggesting Islam gives right to Muslim men to abuse women?
Secondly, I would NEVER EVER EVER DEFEND MISOGYNY, so please don't make false allegations on me, I have never once defended misogyny or misandry.
@ozymandias nullifidian sure please show me those verses and ahadith, I assure you you will not be showing me anything new that I don't know of or that I haven't answered many many before you as well. I support islamic ideology, I don't support whatever picture you have made up in your mind, you seem to be assuming you know everything there is to know about Islam (in case you are not defaming Islam on purpose that is) but judging by your comments I am sure you don't.
My own mother Allah bless her was 16 when she met my father and barely 18, she had her first child, my big sister and then 5 more kids followed over the years. She was protestant n my father muslim. They were together until she died 3 years ago at 51. Oh three weeks to her death she decided to revert to Islam out of her own will. Those days it was normal for girls to even have kids at sixteen. Now you wyd be imprisoned in my country. Age of consent always increases with time.
Undeniable fact, even the enemies of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) at that time never using this to attack him. They never make a fuss to the marriage of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Aisha (ra) at that time. They use everything to attack Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). But they never think the marriage of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Aisha (ra) as a flaw and using this against him. This is prove that there was nothing wrong with their marriage at that time.
alhamdulillah. i was from christian fmly. since young, i love to read about prophet pbuh life story. now i become a muslim.. i hope can meet him in paradise. just sad that many non believers always attack islam nowadays in many ways. i want to say that anything what the non believers claimed about islam, i will always love Allah and prophet pbuh till i die.
Peace be upon you sister...

I like how he discussed what is taboo and he was the one who answered my and many from the west question. He did not hesitate to answer my and many peoples question! He is the first to answer a taboo question. I think it is important for new people to hear this and know what is real.
- At that time, in the place called Darun-Nadwa, where serious decisions such as war were taken, ceremonies of “wearing shirts” were also held for young girls who reached puberty. They began to count their ages starting from that day. For example, if a girl participated in this ceremony at the age of 10, according to Arabs, that girl would become 1 year old a year after the ceremony. When she turned 10, she actually turned 19 years old.
“Darun-Nadwa” was essentially a council of nobles. The leaders of the Quraysh tribes in Makkah above the age of forty could attend this assembly, where all kinds of war and peace decisions were made, opinions were determined, wedding ceremonies and shirt-wearing ceremonies for young girls who reached puberty were held.
According to Ibn Ishaq, before Qusayy had Darun-Nadwa built, those meetings were held in his house. Qurayshis were so devoted to him that wedding ceremonies used to be held in his house and any event that happened to them was discussed there; decisions to wage wars against other tribes were also made there. Clothing the girls who reached puberty in shirts was also done in his house; the part of the shirt that should be left open was torn there and put on the girl; then the girl would be taken home and dressed in a normal way. (1)
The person who led that ceremony was called “muhayyid” (2). (3) The meaning of this ceremony was as follows:
This girl entered puberty; anyone who wanted to marry her could marry her. That ceremony was held in the presence of everyone. (4)
To sum up, it can be said that there was a custom in the ancient Arabs that a ceremony was held for a girl who entered puberty and that girls were known by their age after menstruation. (5)

What a life-changing lecture this is! Thank you for this beautiful lecture. It really opened my eye and heart for Aisha (r.a) on a different level. I am reminded once again how i should strive to be as a muslim woman.
Omar Sulieman has always been a favorite of mine since I watched him having a wonderful and productive cross religious discussion with Jews and Christians.
I've been debating on putting together a video on how I feel about the marriage of Muhammad (s.a.w.) and Ai'shia (r.a.), but my knowledge of Islam is too unrefined. Omar said everything I had hoped to say with all the pristine details. The only thing I'd like to add is a pointed conclusion.
Muhammad (s.a.w.) is the best of all creations, as many have explained this quality extends beyond religious reference and completely into "secular" perception. Omar spoke well enough already on the qualities of Ai'shia (r.a.). To roughly paraphrase a hadith, a woman should be married for four things: beauty, wealth, reputation, and imaan; and marry her for her imaan even if you live with dirt on your face.
The marriage of Muhammad (s.a.w.) to Ai'shia (r.a.) /is/ a sunnah, in that it defines the insignificance of the other three qualities and the superiority of imaan.
Last pre-conclusion point. Muhammad (s.a.w.) and Ai'shia (r.a.) were nearly equal in their imaan, thus their marriage was balanced and just.
Conclusion, age is insignificant past puberty and we should all seek to marry or get our family married to those equal in imaan. A woman, or even a man, can marry at the age of puberty so long as they meet the relative criteria that Omar has explained, even today and so long as the law permits. Culture is not our religion, it's actually the bane of our religion in many cases and a tool of shaytan; culture should inspire concern rather than glee.
Beautifully put.However, i would just like to clarify one minor point you made. Our beloved Prophet and our beloved Mother Aisha, were not 'nearly equal' in their imaan. There is no comparison between the iman of the prophets and the iman of non prophets, let alone the best of all prophets, (peace be upon them all).
@@a.Bader97 no actually many of the sahabas have said so.
@theraven900 I also read a Turkish research that claimed Aisha R.A. was in her teens when she got married back then.
No one was nearly equal to the Imaan of our prophet pbuh. Even Aisha.
Age is very significant past puberty. What the hell?
Considering how intellectual our mother Aisha was and how many things we have learned through her and what sahabas have learned from her
Mashaallah, we tend to forget that she was so little when she was married so intelligent💗
I myself tend to forget so clever she was ....Humayraa our mother in Islam 💗

The problem with our society today is that we've become too quick to judge. We create our own opinions based on the our limited knowledge , which is why we are restricted to see the greater picture. Doubts are meant to be cleared, we need to put in efforts to seek answers. But sadly we've come to a point where we think that our perception of things is the most superior of the entire human race and that our beliefs are the ultimate truth. May Allah(swt) bless us with insight and wisdom!
My aunt married at 9 her daughters are grandmothers .. she is so happy with her big family many and many lovers of sons and grandsons and grandsons of sons around her 😍😍😍
@@concerned_parent when they keep saying things like this and I've read a few message on here very similar. That their relatives was married at a very young age and no issues. Do they mean they had sexual intercourse, when they say they were married??? There is a difference between being married at a very young age and having sex at such an age. A 9yr old is a child today and was a child 1400 yrs ago. No twisting and turning can change that. It's wrong for any body whether that person is 12 yrs old child or a 50 yrs old man if they sexual interfer in anyway with a child they are wrong, guilty of a disgusting crime. Anybody who tries to excuse that, need a good long hard look at themselves
This was normal in those times. There are some girls whose body matures early, especially in the Arabs .. At a time when your grandparents used to put iron clothes that had a lock on his wife's vagina and they treated her as a kind of animal, Muslims used to treat women lightly and follow the words of the Messenger when he said: Be gentle with the bottles (he meant women) as a metaphor for their tenderness and weakness, and he used to say: Your best is your best for his family .. And he said: I recommend you to women well .. He used to compete with his wife in running .. and he used to help her in household work despite his preoccupation with the affairs of the state and so much more.

May Allah bless the soul of everyone who works towards the uplifting of the status of Islam these days and forever. Ameen.
This lecture shows how much Sheikh worked on this topic, Helped a lot May Allah be pleased with you
May Allah Bless my mother and this wonderful sheikh
This is by far the best answer regarding accusation of child marriage by our beloved prophet pbuh. Alhamdulillah
Baraak Allahu feek, I used to feel very conflicted on this topic when an islamophobe brought it up. Alhamdulilah I feel a lot more confident now in retorting them. May Allah bless you in your life and all your works!
Assasi1965 William Have you even watched the video?
Yes there is Hadith in Bukhari that Aish’a age was six when she married then her marriage was consummated at 9. What a horrible thing to say about the prophet. So I did some research concluded her age was between 18-22 based on the following:-
1) Most if not all the people who reported this took it from one source, Hisham ibn Orwat Ibn Al Zbeir Ibn Al Awwam who was born after Aisha passed away. Hisham is a trust worthy source in general. But get this, he lived in Madina for 71 years, never said anything about Aisha’s age then moved to Iraq in the last 10 years of his life where he suddenly narrated this. It was mentioned that his memory and mind was weaken with age to the point that biggest scholars of Islam like Malik ibn Anas refused to take anything he said after leaving to Iraq. He mixed the dates of Hijra ( when prophet migrated to Madina) and Bi’tha ( first revelation)
2) There are sources In Bukhari and other books saying Asma’ the older sister of Aisha was bigger than her by 10 years and Asma’ was born in the 27 years before Hijra which is 14 years before First revelation which means Aisha was 4 at that time and since the prophet married her 2 years from Hijra that puts her age to 19.
3) There is Quranic text that mandates physical and mental maturity for marriage. In fact Islam is the only religion that has this
(quran 4:6) “Test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage, and then if you find them mature of mind hand over to them their property” Some ignorant opinions say Surat Altalaq (divorse) 65:4 that states if absolutely men need to divorce women they need to wait till they give birth if pregnant, or three months if they have no menstruation such as due to menopause or medical condition ( amenorrhea) and that’s to ensure they won’t be divorced while being pregnant. These ignorant people say no menstruation here include young children. How sick is this? A verse that is so feminist and all about women rights to be changed to include not only children abuse but also divorcing them. Crazy.
4) There are many contradictions that will stem from the assumption that Aisha age was six at marriage including taking her to war when she was 7 (Badr Gaswa) and when she was 8 (Ohod Gazwa). Of corse she was at least 20 years when she went to war with the prophet perhaps to render medical help.
5) Finally let’s not pretend that young girls don’t marry around the world. According to wikipedia as of today Massachusetts allows girls as young as 12 to get married, Utah 14 and Mississippi 15.
Her age is mentioned in more than just one hadith. God bless you
1. al-Bukhari said the marriage was consummated when she was 9 (as you know, but you didn't mention that the Bukhari also emphasized that Aisha was still playing with dolls at the time)
2. Al-Tabari also says she was 9 when the marriage was consummated
3. ibn Ishaq / ibn Hisham also says she was 9-10 years old
Also, why would you need the 5) point if you're confident Aisha was 18-22?
@@LordJagd It’s funny to me because muslim scholars say she is 9. 😂 Crazy the extent muslims will go to change history. Aisha wasn’t even mature enough to let bread sit.
@@LordJagd Could you post the exact verses that say she is 9? (I want to save them for future reference)
@@treydevercelly7518 What's doubly absurd is that they'll stretch the reliability of hadith with things like Aisha's age but won't question other things like Muhammad splitting the moon. And I found these on the Wikipedia pages on Aisha's age so the actual verses should be easy to find there.
This is the best response I’ve heard after so many years and unlike the fake Mufti Abu Layth in U.K. who prioritises logic before the Words of Quran and Sunnah this is dealt in an academic manner which no one can refute.
Well done Yaqeen Institute
I havnt watched a lot of your talks but I really love your attitude and way of explaining. May Allah bless you my brother.
Although I'm not Muslim, I have always been drawn to the figure and wisdom of Aisha (RA). This lecture was so helpful for my religion research paper on Islam, specifically when discussing the prominent women of Islam throughout history!
Allahu Akbar, May Allah let us study the lives of our Mothers of Islam and emulate their noble characters. Ameen 🤲 powerful lecture
Ameen Allah!
This is exactly what I needed to hear to quiet my misgivings. Thank you!
In my opinion the problem isn’t about aisha raa necessarily, the problem is that child brides in the middle east is far away from this story, when a girl is wed off she is cut off from her family, abused and crushed mentally, and what’s infuriating is that the Muslim imams and men in general they rarely speak about these issues and how to prevent/ handel them, they rarely defend women against misogynists who say women are dumb and only good for sex they shouldn’t have dreams aspirations or goals, even though aisha is prescribed as this strong opinionated educated women muslim girls are advised to be against that, to be silent, complimet and to endure injustice.
Masha Allah brilliant speech ..we. Love our prophet pbuh ..we believe in true religion and that's only Islam
This was the one topic that had my faith shaken and this video was the most concise and informative one I could find to dissuade my doubts. I have watched a few other videos that seem very emotionally charged rather than intellectually honest but this video has cleared me of doubt Alhamdulillah. The topic itself is one that I would find personally difficult to explain to someone on the opposing end, but at the very least my personal biases have been expunged. JazakAllah Khair, may Allah keep us on the straight path and clear of doubt, Ameen.
my great grandma married at 10 and got 14 children, my grandma also married at 10 and got 9 children, i looked up their pictures, back then they really look like grown up lady compare to kids nowadays. At 6 they master all chores, learning herbs and very well handle with animals, while kids nowadays only know smartphone games. How different our lifestyle is.

Jazak Allah brother for sharing this treasure of knowledge about our great mother
Jzk for this. This must be one of the best and easy to understand talks on the relationship between our beloved Prophet pbuh and Ayesha RA.
Narrated `Aisha:
I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for `Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fath-ul-Bari page 143, Vol.13)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَلْعَبُ بِالْبَنَاتِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَانَ لِي صَوَاحِبُ يَلْعَبْنَ مَعِي، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا دَخَلَ يَتَقَمَّعْنَ مِنْهُ، فَيُسَرِّبُهُنَّ إِلَىَّ فَيَلْعَبْنَ مَعِي.
