Is it true tha the Prophet Mohamed married a preteen girl.?

Question

Also didn't he rip off all the ideas for his religion from the Jews and Christians he was around at the time.

Answer 1

The answers are yes he did, yes he did, and yes he did.

Though there'll be someone from the pages of Islam sooner or later with a response stating how he's God's chosen prophet, he didn't do anything wrong, so on and so forth, it's okay to marry and have sex with pre-teen girls (is what they advocate when Mohammad's marriage is validated as okay/normal/not unusual) So......get ready for the responses.

When they say that? Tell them that Christ died FOR their sins, (1 Cor 15:1-4) and that their sin debt to God, whether they like it or not, whether they believe it or not, whether they KNOW it or not has been once and fully paid.

All they need to do is simply believe in Christ, and his blood, shed as a sacrifice for all sin. Then it'll be seen that the problem today isn't sin (in the eyes of God) but belief in Christ, or unbelief in Christ.

Sin is a prob here on earth, which is why we have law, order, police, etc. but in God's eyes? He dealt with that once and for all.
We're saved by God's grace...not by what we do....

Answer 2

It might be true; but there were many historian opinions on this issue.
In Wikipedia "The age of Aisha at marriage is an unsettled issue, and the subject of increasing attention in recent years. Others claim these are presentist critiques, anachronistically judging Muhammad by modern standards of morality rather than by those of his contemporaries. There are several hadiths (said to have been narrated by Aisha herself), such as Sahih Bukhari 5:58:234 and Sahih Muslim 8:3311, which state she was SIX or SEVEN years old when betrothed and NINE years old when married or when the marriage was consummated.
Other traditional material (hadith, sira, etc.) suggests that Aisha may have been anywhere from TWELVE to NINETEEN years old when she married."
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aisha

But to cry 'paedophile' would be to accuse the whole world and people of that era regardless colour, creed. Child brides as young as 8 were common, not exceptions, among the Christian Byzantine emperors and nobility.
See http://www.roman-emperors.org/aggiefran.htm.
In Shakespearean times, (15th Century England) it was a norm for girls to be married off young. (Juliet, for eg, was supposedly 12.)

There are many women who reach puberty at very young ages ranging from 8 onwards but to judge them with presentist criticism is simply unfair.

To begin with, Prophet Muhammad did not start a new religion and the religion was not his. He is the last prophet in a long line of great messengers sent on earth. The unlettered prophet did not know how to read or write and even if u think that he ripped those ideas, he was simply preaching to reunite people to God; the God of Abraham and Moses and Jesus. Read this in the Quran.

Not preaching here, merely correcting perceptions with facts. BTW, What is the Biblical stand on age of marital consent?

Answer 3

The Prophet's contemporaries (both enemies and friends) clearly accepted the Prophet's marriage to `Âishah(R) without any problem. We see the evidence for this by the lack of criticism against the marriage until modern times. However, a change in culture has caused the change in our times today.

Even today in the 21st century, the age of sexual consent is still quite low in many places. In Japan, people can legally have sex at age 13, and in Spain they can legally have sex at the age of 12 years old[9].

A 40-year-old man having sex with a 14-year-old woman may be a "paedophile" in the United States, but neither in China today, where the age of consent is 14, nor in the United States in the last century. Biology is a much better standard by which to determine these things, not the arbitrariness of human culture. In the U.S. during the last century, the age of consent was 10 years old. California was the first state to change the age of consent to 14, which it did in 1889. After California, other U.S. states joined in and raised the age of consent too[10].

Answer 4

nicely interior the 600's it became planned to be generic. She started her era so she became a woman no count how youthful she became. Her bod became waiting to make toddlers so interior the eyes of society she became an person. It became some thing that became completed international extensive for many some years. no longer even two hundred years in the past adult adult males to bypass out and detect a 12 365 days previous virgin to have intercourse with and no person bat an eye fixed. Even on the instant this happens in some places. women have become married as youthful as 5 or 6. the assumption of no longer being an person once you hit puberty is a clean one. toddlers stay toddlers for a plenty longer time now then they did back then. At 9 years previous women have been generally behaving and being dealt with like adults considering the undeniable fact that's what society observed them as. Now toddlers are actually not dealt with the comparable and that they stay toddlers for a plenty longer time. you're making between the main difficulty-loose errors human beings make whilst it comprises judging historic figures, you're judging them with the aid of our modern-day standards quite than those from their time. Edit- Marriage isn't the comparable subject as intercourse.
