Would you follow a prophet with a nine year old wife?

Question

Islam does, His name was Muhammed. Would you be able to justify that in your mind. Could your values become that imoral?

Answer 1

I wonder why Muslims keep lying about this even though its in their own scriptures.

This is what Aisha said:
Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 41, Number 4915, also Number 4916 and Number 4917
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) married me when I was seven or six. When we came to Medina, some women came. according to Bishr's version: Umm Ruman came to me when I was swinging. They took me, made me prepared and decorated me. I was then brought to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him), and he took up cohabitation with me when I was nine. She halted me at the door, and I burst into laughter.

Answer 2

.She was seventeen-eighteen years old, and no older than twenty. Hadiths are not good sources of information about Prophet Muhammad because A) they were written 200 years after his death and B) Many contradict one another on the same topics and sayings.

I have used various sources to research this very thing and I will lay out the facts:

Facts

1.) All of Abu Bakr's, the father of Aisha Bint Abu Bakr, children were born before 610 C.E. Prophet Muhammad didn't marry after the death of his first wife, Khajiah, until 622 C.E. If we do the math, we find that it is impossible for Aisha to have been nine.
The youngest she could have been for the first factual evidence is twelve, and we haven't gotten into all of the evidence yet.

2.) Asma, Aisha's sister, died at the age of 100 in the year 695 C.E. It is known that Asma was ten years older than Aisha.
That would make Aisha the age 90 (although she died at forty)
in 695 C.E. If we take 695 from 90yrs to determine the circa year she was born we get, the year 605, which confimed the #1 first stated factual evidence. if we take 605 from 622 ( around the year she married the prophet) we get the age 17-18.

3.) Aisha bint Abu Bakr had a prior engaggment that was broken off, (her mate Jabrir didn't want to become Muslim so they did not marry) when she approach him to be married ( it was an arranged marriage. This shows that she was at a marrying age
and seeking a life partner.

And today and during her time Aisha is regarded as among the greatest Muslim scholars to ever have lived. After her husband's death, many people came to her for advice on the proper practice of Islam. She was regarded as an extremely eloquent and assertive women whom possed a photo graphic memory.
She was perhaps a genius in her time.

Answer 3

I don't mind if his wife is nine years old because she's freaking smart, intelligent and she was quite brave for a nine years old girl. Even she lead a war against muhammad's own nephew, Ali, when She was just 16 years old. She became the commander. Don't underestimate Aisyah.

So ask yourself, who on earth could be that brave like Xena the warrior princess ? she was nor other than Aisyah R.A . the wife of Muhammad. The main reason you criticze Muhammqd is because you don't know the personality and the the intelligence of her wife. If Aisyah was alive today, she would have probably had kick you in the groains because of the bad things you said about her husband.

Answer 4

Answer 5

It is likely that Ayesha was in her teens when she & muhammad were married. The hadith were written some considerable time after muhammad's death and are, in some cases, not at all accurate.
