End of Blasphemy of prophet Mohammad SUH and HRS with Information of the Real Age of Sayyada Ayesha being 19 at the Time of Her Blessed Marriage

Here I am pleased to share a write up of Mohtarma Zinat Khan: "Why is your nation afraid to tell the truth that Nupur Sharma did insult the prophet?" Zakir Naik is NOT an authority on the Quran or Islam.He is basing his opinion on some fabricated Hadiths scripted by the Umayyads,long after the passing away of the Prophet and these hadiths have NO support in the Quran - rather they conflict the Quran on this subject. The Arabic word hadith (pl. ahadith) is very similar to Sunnah, but not identical.Can you tell us the difference? Muslims must follow the Quran and the Sunnah !Period ! Now enjoy the first part of the rebuttal. How does the Qur’an define ‘marriageable age’? There are Hadith reports that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) married his third wife Ayesha when she was 6 year old and consummated her marriage when she was 9. If this is true, then it must be consistent with the Qur’an that tells us that Prophet Muhammad himself followed the Qur’an before he asked others to follow it. The Qur’an gives a clear definition of the marriageable age as per 4:6:[an-Nisa' 4:6] Make trial of orphans until they reach the age of marriage; if then ye find sound judgment in them, release their property to them; This verse is taking about two concepts here: First, the trustee of a property should first test the ability of the grown up orphan to see if he or she is capable of managing his or her own affairs well. Second, the Qur’an provides guidelines for the trustee as to the time at which the property of the orphans is to be handed over--it is the time when the orphan has attained adulthood or marriageable age and that he or she has attained a good degree of mental maturity. In this way, the Qur’an gives a clear definition of adulthood or marriageable age as one when a man or a woman has attained a good measure of mental maturity. Would a child playing with dolls be considered as such? This should raise the question: Does a 6- or 9-year old have that level or quality of sound judgment? The answer is a resounding NO ! If Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) married a 6 year old girl (and consummated her marriage at age 9 as reported), one wonders if he actually followed the Qur’anic guidelines regarding this issue. Please recall that the Qur’an states that Muhammad (pbuh) is a model for all mankind and the Qur’an stand witness to the fact that he himself followed the Qur’an in its entirety while urging his devout companions to do the same. The Qur’anic guidelines as described clearly in 4:6 tell us that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) could not have married a young girl of age 6 or 9. There are other verses where the marriage bond has been described as “solemn covenant/solid contract---Meethaqan ghaleezan” (4:21). It is mighty revealing to me that in 4:21 the same phrase “meethaqan ghaleezan” has been used for husband-wife relationship as for the covenant that Allah took from all the prophets including our own prophet (33:7). Not only that, the same expression was also used when Allah took covenant from the Jews not to violate the Sabbath (4:154). Thus, according to the Qur'an 'tying the knot' is going for a "Meethaqan Ghaleezan" (a solemn covenant of mutual trust and faithfulness for each other). This a relationship of marriage that, when developed and nourished in time, gives rise to true love, tranquility and mutual feelings of caring (30:21) between us, to the point that our offspring become soothing comfort of our eyes (25:74).... Quran commands co operation between husband and wife...Read 7:189; 30:21; 3:42 etc etc... what co operation can a 6-9 year old child even offer? Stop being senseless. These verses shown above should suffice and bury the issue of the age of Sayyida Ayesha’s marriage with the Prophet of Allah (pbuh) for good. In sum, Ayesha (r.a) could Not have been 6 years of age because: She could not have been an adult woman capable of making her own sound decisions, and,She could not have entered into a ‘solemn covenant’ at the age of 6 with a 55-year old man. This defies all reasons for a productive and meaningful union.The Prophet, according to the Qur’an, is a model for all humanity. The Qur’an tells us that he was at the highest moral pedestal. Even if child marriages were not uncommon in his day and age, he could not have gone for it because it went against the Qur’anic injunctions of 4:6 and 4:21. Nonetheless, the charge made by the Kufr rests solely on some Hadith reports and not on any of the Qur’anic verses, the attention is now turned to those Hadith accounts as well as other observations related to Sayyida Ayesha's age, and their in-depth analysis. Was Ayesha (ra) really 6 years old when she married Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)? A few comments about Prophet Muhammad’s marriages are in order. Muhammad married his first wife, Sayyida Khadijah (ra), several years before the Call. Khadijah was a reasonably well-to-do woman of Makkah and was reportedly15 years his senior. Prophet Muhammad was 25 and Khadijah was 40 at the time of their marriage. This loving and caring monogamous relationship continued for 25 years until her death. Prophet Muhammad, now over 50 years of age, married a relatively aged woman by the name of Saudah. It is thus important to note here that Muhammad (pbuh)’s twenty five prime youth years were spent in purely monogamous relationship . This speaks volumes about this man’s piety and loyalty in spousal matters as well as about the fact that his later marriages could not have been motivated by basal sexual desires. In 622 A.D, he and his devout companions migrated from Makkah to Medina . Then a couple of years later, he married Ayesha, a daughter of Abu Bakr, in the 3rd Hijrah (Islamic calendar--623-24 A.D). This information coming from diverse historical and Hadith sources is widely agreed upon and therefore can be, a priori, considered authentic. Based on this information, and a host of other related evidence , it can be shown that Sayyida Ayesha could have been at least 16-19 of age at the time of her marriage with Muhammad (pbuh).
