I agree with Imam XIII The Fallible's answer ,it is very well detailed.



Personally I do not get how such an old man would marry such a young girl but keep in mind he was a prophet with much responsibility and apparently getting his instructions from Allah so maybe he married but did not Consummate until she had a "sexy" body i.e. until 16 at least.



Whatever the reason we are not supposed to make sense of everything but rather follow what we believe and reject what we do not, and if you believe in one god and Muhammad was his prophet then you are Muslim the rest is not for us to judge or make sense of .

The 9 year old thing was actually started at 6. It was a political marriage to Aisha, the daughter of one of his buddies. They political marriage happened when she was 6 and he ended up taking her home to consummate the marriage when she was 9. It is not clear on the Qur'an on whether he bedded her at that age or not, but presumably and for legitimacy of the marriage he may have had to. That does not mean he was a pedophile, but following the decrees of that era. For all we know he may have not had sex with her until she wall well into the high teens (He died when she was 18), but that will never be proven.

This is probable. How many little girls became wives at this age in the French and Italian Kingdomships?? These were supposedly Christian nations... The issue of what was acceptable then was very different. We cannot change history. We cannot hold it to our current standards.

He married her when she was 6, and consummated it when she was 9. If it had happened today, there would be no islam religion, just a dirty old man, rotting in prison.

He did not have an affair, he was married to her. When Aisha was 9, the marriage was consumed and Muhammad was 53 then. Aisha was then socially and psychologically still a child as is evidenced by the fact that she was still given to her toys, she was unaware of what was happening around her, and her playmates behave as would the children at present times.

Dude, even Muslims will tell you that ol' Mo nailed a 9 year old. Granted he was 'married' to her but still...sex with a kid is sex with a kid.
2009-07-30 11:22:57 UTC
I do not know abt that, but I do know stuff like 72 virgins young boys, wine etc promised in heaven to Muslims

Up until a few years back, Muslims used to even brag about such things.

These days such beliefs sound stupid or un intelligent and Muslims increasingly deni or change the beliefs

hmmm,

dear you better read good books , on the life of our Holy prophet (pbuh)

by your self , instead of asking this question. or other questions like this.

also try to under-stand Islam's concept of marriage.

in islam the time of marriage for man or woman , begin when ever at what ever age , the start having , TRUE sign. of ADULT HOOD. again instead of asking you should consult some good book on islam's teaching for way of life.
very confused....

umm.. ok im muslim and i hate when muslims say stuff like you shouldn't be saying stuff like that. im 13 and get that ALOT. to me muslim adults should be helping teens and kids learn not make fun of them.(then wonder why non muslims say sh!t about muslims)



also, i learned that muhammed did nothave sex with her(aisha) but married her at age 9. so no
2009-07-30 11:36:36 UTC
Yes, Aisha was married at 6 and had sexual intercourse at 9.



I forget what age Mohammad was, when he married her.



One half of the Muslim world says that the Prophet never had sex with Aisha when she was 9.

The other half insists that he did penetrated Aisha sexually. That half is from countries where paedophilia is legal in marriage only. Paedophilia is allowed in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Iran, Iraq, etc.

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88: - Narrated 'Ursa:



The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).



Volume 7, Book 62, Number 18: - Narrated 'Ursa:



The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry."





Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236: Narrated Hisham's father:



Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.



There's more hadiths written by muslims and NOT by Christians or Jews.



If you are a muslim, as you claim, you should get acquainted with your islamic hadiths.

no it was not he raised her like his own child untill she reached puberty he had intercourse with her when she was 16 and she too had to consent. during that time it was not abnormal to marry little girls but you would have to be out of your mind to have sex with them.

Hadith Bukhari clearly stated that Ayesha said that she was betrothed to Muhammad when she was 6, and he married her and consummated the marriage when she was 9. I'm sorry I don't have my reference materials handy, or I would give you the exact reference.



Ayesha also recorded that she was frequently washing semen stains out of Muhammad's cloaks. This is holy scripture?



Don't blame me or thumb me down. It's your scripture. I didn't write it.

He didn't call them "affairs." He called them "Sexy time with kids."





But seriously:

Child marriages such as this were relatively common in Bedouin societies at the time, and remain common in some modern societies worldwide. American scholar Colin Turner suggests that such marriages were not seen as improper in historical context, and that individuals in such societies matured at an earlier age than in the modern West. In modern times, however, the issue of Muhammad marrying and having sexual relations with a girl so young has been used to criticize him, particularly in the West, where there is heightened concern about child sexual abuse and related issues.
