Dear Muslim brothers,?

Question

Peace be with you.

Many times in this forum faith in other religions cite some verses to put islamic faith in bad light. And most of the time your defense simply encourage other faith to study Islam to understand the truth from cut and paste of few verses that give incomplete meaning and cast doubt on your faith. Usually your response is that other faith take the verse out of context from the complete picture. May I then request you to give us the complete picture of the attack usually cast upon the faith of Islam. Starting from this one.

Muhammed was accused by other faith of child molester because simply of getting involved or married with a 9-year old girl. What is the truth about it from your complete view of Quran?

Answer 1

I start with The Name of ALLAH, The Most Merciful, The Most Beneficient.
First of all Peace to U, and thanx for enquiring abt my Religion 'Islam'.
i m willing to answer ur questions, but this answer is for those who Seeks The Truth with an Open Mind. Those who just want to insult other ppl's beliefs and Do Blasphemy will still refute these facts.
These all people utter a Great LIE that they should be Ashamed of calling Prophet Mohammad (May Peace and Blessings of ALLAH Be Upon Him) with such names. First of All, He got Married with The Permission of ALLAH (GOD), then for a fact, He was Proposed to Marry Ayesha binte Abubaker (May ALLAH Be Pleased With Her) by Her Father Abubaker Siddiq (May ALLAH Be Pleased With Him), and also Prophet Mohammad (May Blessings and Peace of ALLAH Be Upon Him) Married Bibi (Lady) Ayesha (May ALLAH Be Pleased With Her) with her wishes (on her agreement to Marriage), and He Married Her when She was 12 yrs old (Not 3,6 or 9, and She was quite Mature, then), and He Consummated the Marriage 3 yrs later (when she was 15, and was Ready and Got more Mature).
Don't Judge the events that took place 14 centuries ago in a place Not like urs, while keeping in mind today's customs in ur place. It is a fact, that women in Hot Climatic Region get Mature (reach Puberty) much before, than they reach in Cold Climatic Region.
How can they say that Ayesha (May ALLAH Be Pleased With Her) did not reach the age of maturity? have they ever come to know anything abt Her other than this False Allegation on Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)? have they ever read abt Her Life? have they ever read any of her statements (most of the Hadiths (Prophet's Sayings) abt women matters & problems are associated through Her), and what view she held in her eyes of Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)? She was the Most Brilliant Scholor of Women (and even brighter than some Muslim Scholor Men, as well). She was the Most Beloved Wife of Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) as well as She Loved Him too. No Doubt !!! She was The Most Devoted Wife (well, actually all were Devoted) of Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). In fact, they dont know anything abt Her, Her Life and they utter such great Lies, they all should be Ashamed of themselves. Repent of whatever they Lie, 'coz punishment for such a Lie is far too great. Marriage of Hazrat (Lady) Ayesha (May ALLAH Be Pleased With Her) to Prophet Mohammad (May Blessings and Peace of ALLAH Be Upon Him) is amongst the most Noble and Great Act of Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) by ALLAH's (GOD) Will (Masha'ALLAH), and we (u, me and any other human being) are No One to judge, what ALLAH (GOD) Wills, as ALLAH (GOD) works in Mysterious Ways.
I WILL BELIEVE THE ACCUSATIONS/ALLEGATIONS THEY PUT FORWARD ARE TRUE, IF THEY BACK UP UR COMMENTS WITH SUFFICENT PROOFS ............. I CHALLENGE EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM, WHO SUPPORT THIS ACCUSATION/ALLEGATION TO PUT FORWARD A SINGLE AUTHENTIC & RELIABLE SAYING OF Hazrat Ayesha (May ALLAH Be Pleased With Her) SHOWING HER DISCONSENT OF THE MARRIAGE TO Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) OR EVEN A SINGLE NEGATIVE VIEW/COMMENT OF Her ABT Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)? AND IF THEY WON'T DO IT, THEN I GUESS IT IS PROOF SUFFICIENT ENOUGH THAT WHAT THEIR ACCUSATIONS/ALLEGATIONS ARE, THEY ARE JUST FALSE RUMBLINGS AND LIES.
I hope i cleared this matter to u. Peace to All

Answer 2

it was a command from Allah SWT and I don't believe there is a verse in the Quran that would command the Prophet Muhammad ASW to marry her. there is a verse in the Quran that speaks of her innocence and honor. The one thing people must understand is that this was a common practice in that time. she was previously engaged to a man prior to Pr. Muhammad ASW so this was approved by her father. Her father was his best friend. the other thing that needs to be understood is that biologically a girl enters puberty at this age therefore it's not molesting because she is capable of bearing children. the other thing is this same practice was being done in Europe and America up until the last few centuries when the judicial system started putting age limits on marriage but up until the 1800's common law marriage was allowed for 10 yr old girls. this is something non-muslims try to use against the Pr. Muhammad ASW but they are being hypocrites about it. they did teh same thing he did but all of the sudden it's wrong because he's muslim. this is the point and fact about this debate. So to say it's in the Quran and it's a command to all muslims is ridiculous. Prophets of Allah SWT were given revelations and this is how they all acted. In this case because he married her so young she was able to memorize the Quran and the Hadiths of better than anyone else. She became one of the Mother's of the believers due to her knowledge and intellect. also you have to remember she never complained and she loved him very dearly. so how can people claim she was "abused" when she never complained of anything at all. she actually loved every moment of her life with him. He acutally died in her arms with his head on her chest. He was also buried in her room. so what's the debate if you have the facts. I don't see one. so you ask and you learn and NO not all information is in the Quran you need to understand the era, the people, the tribes, the culture, the Prophet's life and the lives of the people who were his companions.

Answer 3

Thanks for your question brother.

Regards these matters, Yahoo Answers is no forum for sincere seekers of the truth about Islam. These are just a bunch of young unsupervised (and probably unloved) kids who are a product of the society they are brought up in. People who wish to learn about Islam search for information about Islam, download books, visit a mosque, meet Muslims, to get a complete picture of Islam. Not by making false accusations against Islam.

Regarding the oft-repeated accusations against the Holy Prophet (p) regarding his marriage to Ayesha, what is the issue? The Prophet proposed, the girl's parents accepted, the marriage took place and was consumated when she reached puberty. Again, what is the issue? The Prophet's marriages were ways of strengthening bonds of freindship, ways of making peace with warring tribes, of helping poor widowed women who had no other means of support.

The Problem: American neocons consider their culture to be the apex of human civilization so anything different, is wrong.

The Prophet's (p) marriage to Ayesha was a totally accepted cultural custom during that time. Just because some culture is different from the current 21st Century American culture doesn't mean that the other culture is wrong. Why did the enemies of Islam, during the Prophet's own lifetime, not raise this as an issue to vilify him, since they were always looking at ways of attacking his personal character? Because it was accepted cultural practice.

Islam says that alcohol is wrong, yet we don't judge others poorly because we know alcohol is part of their culture.

Do you know the Dutroux case in Belgium where two young girls were kidnapped and abused sexually for weeks until they starved to death? Do you know of the multiple cases of rape, paedophilia and incest that takes place in the countries of those accusing the Prophet of such crimes?

So much for higher culture.

I apologize if I've hurt anyone's feelings here. It was not my intention to. I was simply replying in the language I was spoken to. If I have hurt your feelings, I apologize.

Hope this answers your question brother.

Answer 4

Isn' t there any version of Quran it really is translated? i'm certain there is. in case you are able to't locate any, basically google it? do not be hopeless. God informed that hopelessness is the incorrect course because you are able to continuously pray to god and ask for help, it would not should be Arabic. attempt to resolve your issues and pray to God continuously. I did and he's assisting me. My dad had like thousands and thousands of bucks of expenditures and he's (god) helped us. do not provide up. you're a Muslim so that you want to comprehend suicide is between the most important sins? you'll pass instantly to hell and it says in Quran that you're going to adventure the soreness x100 worse there. Your mom and dad ought to really help you, and get a job, do what you're basically right at. each and all and sundry sins, the authentic ingredient is that you're literally conscious and also you gained't do it again. You not in any respect comprehend what's gonna take position day after today, existence is complete of surprises. trust me, issues receives more effective, you actually prefer to carry on tight.

Answer 5

Culture back then and now is very different.
most girls in middle easter countries even now get married when they turn 14,5,6..actually it says that marry your daughters as soon as you can...they had arrange marriges..i kno we have that in our culture even now and i have been fighting againt it since i turned 14....well thats me (disobedient) lol anyway....it was no big deal back then......
even though its considered sick now back then it was a normal day to day thing. beside ayisha brought the knowledge of koran to young people and in this case she was more of Mohammed's student then wife...he practically raised her... lol sounds weird.....
Ayisha did not have to marry him if did not want to. its aginst islam for parents to force the girl in to marriage. so obviosly she did like the phrophet...
i think most people attack islam because they have fear of unknown...but most of us dont have time to read our own religion books, its totally other matter to read some one elses religion books.its just most people dont know whats the turth so they believe every thing on t.v..
i mean you wont believe how many people have asked me why have not my parents killed me yet because i dont wear a scarf thing but my mom does. or should i be married i am 18 and most girls my age are already married popping kids back in pakistan, or people ask me how is it that i talk a lot since we (women) are not allowed to talk with out permission..lol well all i have to say to all that is do some research....i mean not every thing you hear on t.v is true. sorry this is a little off topic......

Answer 6

good approach.

not everything is about sex. this girl called Aisha, is the first scholar woman in Islam. after Muhammad (P) death, she recorded his words and teaching, she carried his message to the next generation. imagine if one person record approx. 25% of Muhammad (P) words and teaching. Muhammad (P) was a shy man, he couldn't answer all women questions, he used to give them to Aisha. this woman has wisdom, intelligent and knowledge in Islam better than any of his wife. she was more as a student than a wife, and he was treating her kindly.

child molester based on 21 century? . you need to understand the cultures differences. example: in the USA it's sick for cosines to marry each other, but it's normal in Arabia. in USA they can accept homosexual , in Arabia it's so sick. in USA people sleep with each other before marriage, in Arabia it's something that is very shame.

plus she was engaged to someone else before Muhammad. and if it was a big deal back then, why the enemy of Muhammad didn't talk about it day and night?

and God knows best.

Answer 7

well, it is not from the best of the Muslims to answer the ignorant who attack the Messenger of Allah,Allah's Peace and Blessings upon him, for this is nothing new.What is new is the amount of Muslims that feel that they need to respond to every thing that the non-Muslims say,as if they will make a difference in changing their opinion.When Allah commands that we say a word to the ignorant "PEACE!"-and upon you peace

Answer 8

Ur question is very good, but i don't think i am the one to answer ur question, u need some one who is better than me to tell u the answer

Answer 9

There were many people trying to kill the Prophet and discredit him anyway possible. Ponder this...why did not ONE of his enemies mention his marriage to Aisha?

Answer 10

Peace be with you too.
