Through the centuries, orientalists have advance numerous accusations and far-fetched theories to discredit Islam and its last Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him). Praise be to Allah alone, all such accusations have been successfully refuted by the Muslims Ummah. Currently, one of the ‘reinvented’ accusations against the noble character of the Prophet is about his marriage to young Aisha Siddiqa ®.
Let’s probe some of the orientalists’ charges in detail in the light of modern research, historic evidence and the Islamic sources of the Quran and the Sunnah to separate truth from falsehood, and display to the world that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is indeed an exemplary for all of mankind.
Two main theories are often advance by orientalists to attack the pure character of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) on his marriage to Aisha ® at her young age.
A. He was a Pedophile.
B. He was involved in child abuse.
Let’s analyze each theory to dig out the truth, through the Guidance of Allah (SWT).
A. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) married Aisha ® because he was a pedophile?
Definition of a Pedophile:
"Pedophile: also spelled PEDOPHILIA, psychosexual disorder in which an adult's arousal and sexual gratification occur primarily through sexual contact with prepubescent children. The typical pedophile is unable to find satisfaction in an adult sexual relationship and may have low self-esteem, seeing sexual activity with a child as less threatening than that with an adult." Encyclopedia Britannica, 1998
"pe.do.phil.ia n [NL](1906): sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object -- pe.do.phil.i.ac or pe.do.phil.ic adj." Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary
The diagnostic criteria for pedophilia according to American Psychiatric Association:
• Over a period of at least 6 months, recurrent intense sexual urges and sexual arousing fantasies involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children.
• The person has acted on these urges, or is markedly distressed by them.
• The person is at least 16 years old and at least 5 years older than the child or children in A.
DSM-III-R Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, ed 3, revised, copyright American Psychiatric Association.
"In addition to their pedophilia, a significant number of pedophiles are concomitantly or have previously been involved in exhibitionism, voyeurism, or rape".(Voyeurism’s the recurrent preoccupation with fantasized or acts that involve seeking out or observing people who are naked, or are engaged in grooming or in sexual activity". Synopsis of psychiatry, Harold I.Kaplan et al., 5th ed., pg360, Publishers: Williams and Wilkens, 1988
Does the Prophet fit the above criteria of a pedophile?
With the above criteria of a pedophile in mind, lets analyze the lifestyle of the prophet and his marriages.

Name of Bride Bride’s age at marriage Comments
Khadija bint khawilad 40 Twice widowed before Sauda Bint Zama 50 Widow Aisha bint Abu Bakr 9 Started living with the prophet at the age of 9. Hafsa Bint Umar bin Khattab 22 Widow Zainab bint Khuzaima 30 widow Umm-I-Salma bint Abu Umayia 26 Widow Zainab Bint Jahash 38 Widow Juwaeria Bint Harith 20 Widow Umm-I-Habiba bint Abu Sufyan 36 Widow Marya Qibtiya bint shamun 17 Virgin, Egyptian Safia bint Hayi bin Akhtab 17 Widow Maimuna bint harith 36 Widow Statistics from the above table: Percentage of his wives who were 17years and older = 91 % Percentage of his wives who were widows = 75% Comment: The statistics show that the prophet’s marriage to Aisha at her young age was an exception and not a norm of his other marriages. Furthermore ‘a pedophile’s main mode of sexual satisfaction is with prepubescent girls’, which is contradictory to the 91% of prophet’s marriage to women 17 years and over. An unbiased examination of Prophet’s life and his marriages to his wives blatantly rejects the notion of his lifestyle fitting that of a pedophile. All his brides were aged widows (except Aisha and Marium). Moreover, according to the criteria in the references cited above in ‘Synopsis of Psychiatry’, a vast majority of pedophiles possess a history of exhibitionism, voyeurism, or rape. Again, there is no single reference from either religious or secular sources that the noble Prophet ever indulged in such sadistic behavior (God forbid). This truth is observed and accepted by both Muslims and unbiased non-Muslims scholars. "It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher." – Annie Besant, THE LIFE AND TEACHINGS OF MUHAMMAD, Madras, 1932, p. 4. |

B. Others claim that the noble Prophet (peace be upon him) indulged in child-abuse when he married Aisha at her young age.
Let scrutinize this allegation… Definition of Child Abuse: Child Abuse, also called CRUELTY TO CHILDREN, the willful and unjustifiable infliction of pain and suffering on children. The term can denote the use of inordinate physical violence; unjustifiable verbal abuse; the failure to furnish proper shelter, nourishment, medical treatment, or emotional support; incest; other cases of sexual molestation or rape; and the making of child pornography. Frequently described by the medical profession as the "battered-child syndrome," abusive treatment of children is almost universally proscribed by criminal statutes. Child abuse can have serious future consequences for the victims involved. Delays in physical growth, impaired language and cognitive abilities, and problems in personality development, learning, and behavior are common following instances of child abuse or neglect.Encyclopedia Britannica, 1998 Comment: None of the criteria of child-abuse applies to the noble life of the Prophet (pbuh). There is no single incident of any infliction of pain and suffering by the prophet on Aisha or any other human being for that matter. Neither any instance of verbal or sexual abuse can be concluded from the relationship of the prophet with Aisha ® or any of his wives. An abused child can have serious future consequences…delayed physical growth, impaired language..learning and behavior…etc (above definition). As one examines the chaste life of Aisha ®, her personality, physical, mental and spiritual development are all contrary to that of an abused child. In fact through the Prophet’s marriage and his guidance to Aisha, history testifies that she should be labeled not as an abused child but as a ‘blessed child’. After analyzing and refuting the accusations against the noble character of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the only viable alternative left with us is: C. The Prophet married Aisha for the benefit of Islam and Humanity. WHY PROPHET MOHAMMED MARRIED AISHA: LET US OPEN OUR MIND LOGICALLY; 1. MY traditional is to mention the same point about maturity , what is important here is not some random age , but the state physical and mental maturity , it is well known that humans in hot countries mature much faster colder climates , during some research in this very issue I discovered that the earliest recorded pregnancy was and eight years old girl in south America that mean , the girls in hot countries become adult when she is 9 and 11 and 12 years old and treat as woman has all her right and has all her emotions and her feeling her and romantic feeling and she able to marriage , this is we will find in Asia and some Europe east and some of regions America and Africa ... 2.Aisha was in fact already promised in marriage even before she was married to prophet Mohammed , she was promised to Jobuer ben Mota’am ben Adey , he betrothed Aisha , it show that arranging marriages at young ages at young ages was quite normal and that mean the girls in this ages was woman not child , |

3. Surely any objection to such a young marriage can only be made if can be shown that some harm was caused because of it . in fact all evidence points to the opposite in the case of this marriage which was so clearly full of love and happiness
4. if this marriage was considered “Pedophile.”,Quraysh and all the Arabic land would attack prophet Mohammed and accuse him "pedophile " at least Aue jahel or abu laheb ,who they hated Prophet Mohammed so much and they waited one wrong to attack him but they didnt find any mistake, because all people in that time marriage from women when they was 9 and 11 and 12, and that normal to married from person in her father age like Hafsa married when she was 11 years old , before she married from prophet Mohammed and the most Arabic women married in this age , no , not only Arabic women , but the Jewish women , Safia bint Hayi bin Akhtab , prophets wife , daughter Hayi bin Akhtab who was leader of Jewish , before she convert to Islam and before married from prophet Mohammed , the first marriage was when she was 10 years old ……….. so that quite normal in that time in whole world we pass in illogical when we touch with truth , the westerly judge of them modern standard viewpoint , so they face all this problem without understanding , all this accusation to prophet Mohammed appeared since 60 years only ???“pedophilia” We hear it newly , well why we didn’t hear before 100 at least , westerly orientalists “the west didn't appreciate this marriage, it was and still Asian tradition, they didn’t think this tradition still find in east Europe now, and it was very normal in Spain and Portugal since old-time , and this is very acceptable in far American mountain region, and like this marriage is very acceptable in Asia “ so what we can called this accuse “silly or without understanding or ignorance or grudge accusations ” if this accuses is right , it would appear from 1400 years , we don’t find one book before 60 years accuse Messenger of Allah “pedophilia” so that mean even the west , that mean some of person now try to defame Prophet Mohammed … 5. to reinforce the friendly relations already existing Abu Baker (his closest companion) 6. it was Allah who ordered the marriage of Aisha to the prophet, why ?? because Islam needed person carry away Islam after prophet Mohammed and talked about prophet Mohammed and marital relationship , and how treat with wife like prophet Mohammed , so that Aisha lived after prophet Mohammed 50 years to learn , and that reason Aisha didn’t had child . Lets analyze… The Prophet married Aisha primarily for three reasons: To reinforce the friendly relations already existing with Abu Bakr (his closest companion). To educate and train Aisha so she may serve the purposes of Islam. To teach her to utilize her capabilities for the sake of Islam. Her Marriage with the prophet was a Wahi (Divine Revelation). She, herself relates from the Prophet,‘He said, "I saw you in dreams three times. The angel brought you to me and you were clad in white silk. He (the angel) said that it was your consort and he (angel) showed me by opening your face. You are just like that…" Sahih Muslim, Vol.2, p.285. |

Arwa Bin Zubair says, "I did not find anyone more proficient (than Aisha ®) in the knowledge of the Holy Quran, the Commandments of Halal (lawful) and Haram (prohibited), Ilmul-Ansab and Arabic poetry. That is why, even senior companions of the Prophet used to consult Aisha ® in resolving intricate issued".Jala-ul-Afham by Ibn Qaiyem and Ibn Sa’ad, Vol.2, p.26
Abu Musa al-Ashari says: "Never had we (the companions) had any difficulty for the solution of which we approached Aisha and did not get some useful information from her".Sirat-I-Aisha, on the authority of Trimidhi, pg. 163 As a teacher she had a clear and persuasive manner of speech and her power of oratory has been described in superlative terms by al-Ahnaf who said: "I have heard speeches of Abu Bakr and Umar, Uthman and Ali and the Khulafa up to this day, but I have not heard speech more persuasive and more beautiful from the mouth of any person than from the mouth of Aishah." The Prophet said, "The superiority of 'Aisha to other ladies is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. meat and bread dish) to other meals. Many men reached the level of perfection, but no woman reached such a level except Mary, the daughter of Imran and Asia, the wife of Pharaoh." Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith, Narrated by Abu Musa Al Ashari Hadith 4.643 Musa Ibn Talha ® says, "I did not see anyone more eloquent than Aisha ®" Mustadrak of Hakim, Vol.4,p.11 Men and women came from far and wide to benefit from her knowledge. Aisha’s great interest in the study of the Qur’an is understandable. She was an eye-witness to a number of revelations and had therefore a clear idea of the circumstances in which they were revealed. It was on her bed alone (and no other consort’s) that the Prophet received Wahi (Divine Revelations) several times. This helped her in interpreting the verses. At the time of the Prophet’s death, the Prophet’s head was on her lap. It was in her quarters that the Prophet was buried.(teach the love) The life of Aishah (R) is a proof that a woman can be far more learned than men and that she can be the teacher of scholars and experts. Her life is also a proof that a woman can exert influence over men and women and provide them with inspiration and leadership. Aisha (R) is a continuing inspiration and role model to today’s youth who are diligently searching for an example amongst the pop stars, movie actresses and sports stars. May the memory of her’s live forever in the heart of the Muslim Ummah and may Allah grant her the highest abode in Paradise…Aameen. |

Conclusion:
It was the aforementioned qualities of Aisha ® and the Prophet’s guidance in molding these capabilities for the service of Islam, were the main reasons, why the Prophet Married young Aisha ®, and not the perverted reasons brought forth by misguided orientalists. Muslims invite all sincere humans to study the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon) in the light of the authentic sources of the Quran and the Sunnah (exemplary sayings and deeds of the Prophet) and judge for themselves where the truth lies. Indeed, by recognizing the truth of Islam as the final and complete Guidance sent by our Creator can humanity find lasting peace in this world and a means of salvation from the hell fire in the hereafter. "I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today." George Bernard Shaw, THE GENUINE ISLAM, Vol. 1, No. 81936. Though, the Prophet is not among us in his flesh, but his exemplary life has been preserved for all humanity to follow. When Truth comes Falsehood disappears, Islam came, now Shirk (polytheism) must clear Welcome to Islam… |

Sultan of Swing
what that is ?????????? discuss me about our matter another point this silly website discuss amany of silly point .. can you define the points to discuss together |
||||
My mind on the matter is that Mohammad took advantage of a little girl by being in a position of power over her she had no choice in the marrage and the fact that he was almost 50 years older than her, old egnough to be her grand father when he raped! yes raped her at 9 years old, because that is what it iswhen a person in their 50's has intercourse with a small child...... in my mind or in any reasonable mans mind for that matter. |
||||
are you sure , you read whole topic ? are sure ?????????? did you read this is normal matter in that time , and jewish married from women them age 10 years ?????????? did you read Aisha promised to marriage before prophet Mohammed that indicate Aisha was woman , woman not child , because in our country especially in hot country the woman is adult when she is 9 or 10 or 11year do you know science ???? well , forget that . can you ask your grandparent , when did she marry????????? well before 100 year, when did women marry ?????????? I think when they were 14 or 13 or 11 well before 400 year ??????? well befor 1000 before 1400?????????? we dint have right to judge before 1400 year our modern viewpoint well , why the accusations are appearing now ??????? why I did not find one book before 60 year say as you saying ? why |
||||
I dont give a damn what year it was, what religion or race they were, or how you are so blinded by that book you hold so dear. Wrong is wrong no matter how you try and spin it. And there is a huge difference physiologically and psycologically between a 9 year old girl and a 14, 15, or 16 year old girl. So don't try and hand me that weak argument. My point was that your "prophet" was in a position of power over a small child and at the age of nine you do as you are told. |
