Prophet Muhammad\u00a0<\/a>was not the first man in the life of lady Aishah.<\/p>\nLady Aishah, in the age of 6, was actually engaged to another man called Jubayr ibn Mutam ibn Adiyy. You will find also that one of the Prophet’s wives was Lady Safiyyah bint Huyayy ibn Akhtab, the daughter of one of the biggest names of the Jewish tribes in Arabia, Huyayy ibn Akhtab, he (i.e. the Prophet) married her according to some records in the age of 14 and he was her third husband.<\/p>\n
What was her age when she got married to her first husband? Maybe 10, 9 or eleven! So, even the Jews at that time were marrying their girls in that early age.<\/p>\n
Also, you will find that Prophet Muhammad married lady Aishah at the age of 6 but he did not consummate the marriage except in the age of 9. So, what was he waiting for, for 3 years? If he was a child molester, he could have consummated the marriage at the age of six. But, what he was waiting for, for three years? Puberty!<\/p>\n
Some people here may say, \u201cWho said that once a girl reaches puberty that she can get married?\u201d Simply, the\u00a0Encyclopedia Britannica. I open the Encyclopedia Britannica, the fifteenth edition, volume number 26, page number 850, and I found the following definition for puberty. It says: \u201cIn human physiology, puberty is the stage or period of life when a child transforms into an adult normally capable of procreation.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 1184, Margaret, the Empress of Hungary, got married to Isaac II, the Byzantine Emperor when she was only nine years old. This is why it is illogical to criticize the marriage of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to Aishah, the daughter of the Prophet\u2019s closest Companion Abu Bakr.<\/p>\n
One may ask himself, \u201cDid Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) have any enemies?\u201d You will find that the hypocrites in the Muslim community were enemies, the pagans were his enemies, and the Jews of Arabia were his enemies. You will find that they tried by all means to tarnish his image and they called him all the possible bad names that they can, but they did not say that he was a child molester. Why? Did they forget? That would have been an excellent way to damage this man and this new religion, but they never used it because simply it was the norm to get married to girls at that age at that time.<\/p>\n
For those who say that she was a molested child, molested by\u00a0Prophet Muhammad\u00a0(peace be upon him), I ask them, \u201cDo molested children love their molesters?\u201d If you want to read the perfect love story,<\/p>\n
Shakespeare, we all know this famous British outstanding playwright \u00a0in his famous play \u201cRomeo and Joliet\u201d who said the age of Joliet, the hero in this play, was not more than 13 years old.<\/p>\n
I recommend that you do not read Romeo and Joliet because actually Romeo committed suicide at the end of the story. Read Muhammad and Aishah. In the very word of Aishah herself explaining how beautiful this relationship was between her and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Lady Aishah explains that he used to race with her, and she says that when he used to drink from her glass, he used to make sure that she sees him putting his lips in the same place where she was putting her lips to drink from the glass. Lady Aishah says that when she used to say \u201cO my God I have a headache,\u201d he used to say, \u201cIt\u2019s me, you can sense your headache in my head.\u201d Lady Aishah was so proud that he died in her arms.<\/p>\n
