WHO WAS AISHA

AND

WHY THERE ARE SO MANY CONTROVERSIAL STORIES ABOUT THEIR LOVE STORY?

Women-In-Islam-605x160.jpg

~That the Prophet said to her, “You have been shown to me twice in my dream. I saw you pictured on a piece of silk and someone said (to me). ‘This is your wife.’ When I uncovered the picture, I saw that it was yours. I said, ‘If this is from Allah, it will be done.” {Bukhari :: Volume 5 :: Book 58 :: Hadith 235}~

 

The love story written on the sand of the undiscovered oriental deserts, interpreted through the centuries, brutally made up for the purpose of daily politics and forever kept as an inspiration in the hearts of believers. Aisha and Prophet Muhammad(s.a.v.s).The battle between the soul inspiration and body desires, the dream about divine blessings hidden in one woman’s eyes. Silk and steel. The love story behind the strict covers of the religion, warm feeling of power of the love against the love for power.

It is disturbing to see how politics consumes religion for everyday’s goals. It is almost like an agenda. The sacred and holy things are being digested by political vocabulary and offered as a menu to the people like in some cheap circus entertainment. Islam and its tales are old for years but they have never been exposed and ideologically abused as it is happening lately, without any control.There are no more any  respect for religion core but everything is chopped and analyzed with the aggressive manner, without keeping a neutral line and objectivity. I find it disturbing that old stories that have been found within the long history of Islam are now being digged out and presented as something terrible, even if we know in which civilization period that have happened and why. I must underline that one objective science writer must be far away from ideological demands of the society  and must expose the facts as they are, without giving them political ice cream for the benefits of hungry crowd. That is the only way we can achieve the possible peace among the different faiths or we will be all cursed in the darkness of hatred.

I was shocked to see so many articles and biased news based on the accusations of Muslim Prophet Muhammad(s.a.v.s.) that he was pedophile because his marriage with Aisha was consumed when she was a child. First of all, we must go back and observe the complete world’s history of that time and what was the practice among the rulers. Then, we must calculate the length of people’s life back in early phase of civilization and the start of adulthood  phase of women. The concrete situation in Arabia, in 7th century, was to consider the adulthood as the onset of puberty. Just some centuries later, we can see that European royal elite is also focusing on taking young women for their kings ( 33-year-old King John of England married 12-year-old Isabella of Angoulême). In other words, concluding that Aisha was 6 when she was promised to Prophet Muhammad (s.a.v.s.) sounds like manipulating the historical lack of ground facts because that was the period of time when there was no birth registry and people haven’t been able to know for sure their own age or the age of someone’s else. If we add to it that she was also engaged to someone else, before she was given to the Prophet, gives us a lot of thoughts to think about what was her real age at the moment of consumed marriage, she could have been old from 9 to 19.

The mutual accusations between Muslims and Christians are very old. The Christians see Muslims through the  Prophet Muhammad (s.a.v.s.) and compare him with  Christ as a model of celibate virtue but the real fact is that the two religions maybe have  the same basic moral standards but have different stories they are wrapped in and that borders must be respected. The Muslims never question the importance of Christ and never insult him but the Christians do not stop to attack the Muslim Prophet and come out with the pathological ideas about his lust and sexual life. This is almost ridiculous because it doesn’t help anyone but makes bigger chaos worldwide.The Academic Kecia Ali once said : “Accusations of lust and sensuality were a regular feature of medieval attacks on the prophet’s character and, by extension, on the authenticity of Islam.”  Why do we need to deny some religion by attacking its Prophet and even worse, his own love life we have know nothing about but what has been served to us for a purpose? !

The reality is that in some societies, like Yemen or some rural parts of Turkey,KSA or Iran, the patriarchal dominance forces the young girls to marry older men, based on the family pressure. It is happening but it is he outcome of the masculine system where fathers and brothers abuse Islam for their own interests and goals, without giving the chance to women to say NO or YES. But, there are also many Muslims who encourage their daughters and sisters  to educate themselves and to chose the one they love, without giving them directions or threats. If we want to be objective, in each masculine based society, the incidents based on breaking the women and children rights will be very often no matter what religion we are talking about. That is why every community must set up the rules of equality because isn’t the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.v.s.) himselves said to his companions that the best among them is the one who is best to his woman.

Equality-of-Men-and-Women-in-Islam.jpg

Aisha عائشة is known as ‘Ā’ishah bint Abī Bakr, the daughter of Abi Bakr and Umm Ruman, and the Mother of the Believers, who call her as A’ishah, Aisyah, Ayesha, A’isha, Aishat or Aishah.According to some books, she was born in 613/614 CE in Mecca, Hejaz, Saudi Arabia but she died at age 64 in city of Medina, Hejaz, Saudi Arabia. She was Prophet Muhammad(s.a.v.s.) beloved wife but also his best friend and advisor, the companion in his philosophical teaching and the brilliant mind. Her intellectual contribution to Islam was so huge that she kept spreading the religion even the 44 years after Prophet’s death.Now, imagine that Aisha narrated even 2210 hadiths  and covered not only the topics about his private life but also the spiritual dilemmas about Islamic eschatology, inheritance and pilgrimage. It was described that her intelligence and strategic mind was always welcomed by her husband, during many war operations. According to one article in Guardian, there is a perfect portrait of her:“To paint Aisha as a victim is completely at odds with her persona. She was certainly no wallflower. During a controversial battle in Muslim history, she emerged riding a camel to lead the troops. She was known for her assertive temperament and mischievous sense of humour – with Muhammad sometimes bearing the brunt of the jokes. During his lifetime, he established her authority by telling Muslims to consult her in his absence; after his death, she went to be become one of the most prolific and distinguished scholars of her time.”

Aisha can not be any victim when she was a lovely rose, the jewel of Mecca and Medina and the one of the greatest scholars of Islam ever. She was mufti and judge, a stateswoman and a courageous wind of change. Her spiritualism inspired Prophet very often and they have been seen walking during the night, just exchanging the ideas about how the battle should be led and who they can trust or not. She was much younger but she was very mature to offer the best advices to him and he couldn’t have made decisions without having her opinion. Aisha hasn’t been  an ordinary woman who just  loved him, she was his all -in- one woman, the harem in one wife. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.v.s.) died resting his head on her chest, the greatest love story of Islam, united together till the last moment on the Earth.

When we debate about Aisha, we must include all her achievements because she is still one of the most compelling figures in the Islamic history. Many experts believe that she was the one who transmitted islam to the ordinary people, like a bridge or the female soul of the blessings from above. She had that luck that her father was appointed as a first caliph so she was entitled as the truthful woman and her abilities to spread Islam were empowered by her ultra religious father.

Their nine years old love story is not the only reason for the rest of the world to be amazed or angry or confused. I found the fact that in that primitive period of time, among all men, one woman made her road clear to go into philosophy, politics and religion. The beautiful rose among so many thorns, the pearl on the desert dirt.

She was so beautiful but her beauty was in her glorious mind, in her highlighted soul and in her brave her. Just to remind, she famously took part in the Battles of Uhud, al-Khandaq, Banu Qurayza, Banu Mustaliq, Hudaybiya and the Meccan conquest.She was a lioness and not just a sheep. She would have never accepted what is given to her without her analyzing and questioning the fundamentals of the issue.She was learning so fast that all other philosophers and theologians have been impressed the way she understood the complex questions and make them easier for the ordinary people.

Medina_0.jpg

The jewel from Medina has never married again and the whole her Earth life, she was devout and deep into the prayers, fast and religious contemplation. Aisha was so in love with Prophet Muhammad(s.a.v.s) that she fought for his attention during the life and after his death, she was waiting for a final reunion in heaven. When Allah (dz.s) promised people to chose good wives because they will hold the half of faith(deen) it was so obvious that Aisha did a perfect her job. She was the only Prophet’s woman  who saw the miracles:“Aisha was the only wife to witness the Messenger receiving revelation. She twice saw the Angel Gabriel in human form and received salaams (greetings of peace) directly from him.”

Aisha is almost like a secret code for the role of Muslim woman today. What Aisha has done during her life not many free women can perform today, in our modern times. Abusing her prominent  historical role in daily political struggles and the tiny gains of sick islamophobia gangs is nothing but the embarrassment for the academical elites that must stand up against ugly portraits of holy people of one religion. It is the typical ignorance, the lack of respect and good analyzes of the civilization progress and the same apply on those within Islamic religion that abuse their rights on their women, justifying with the things they think they have understood. Actually, the lack of feeling for reality and science approach is something that is missing in the both categories: extremists  who misrepresent one religion and its figures and extremists who mislead their own people to the point when there is no religion anymore but dirty sick ideology.

I stand up for Aisha as she was one of the most inspiring ladies of the history of the world that hasn’t been so free to embrace the women who lead the battle and give new directions in religion, the cruel  world of the  men.

  44. “It’s obligatory to follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of God and disbelieve in one who denies it.”

    HER NAME WAS AISHA AND SHE WAS A VICTIM OF THIGHING = MUFA’KHATHAT
    Literally translated, it means “placing between the thighs”

    IMAGINE!
    Imagine a 50 year old Arab stripping a 6 year old child naked and putting his “willie” between her thighs and wanking himself off; squirting his cum all over the child’s naked body!

    IMAGINE!
    Imagine this now 53 year old Arab having full, penetrative sexual intercourse with the 9 year old child and shooting his “load” of cum into her small vagina, shouting, “Allah Akbar”!

    IMAGINE!
    Allah says in the Quran:
    (Sura 33:21).
    You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example for him who hopes in Allah and the Last Day, and who remembers Allah much.

    In this verse Allah instructs Muslims to follow Prophet Muhammad who was an embodiment of the great values and manners of the Quran. He gave the best example for mankind in human history. Many Muslim writers bear witness that Prophet Muhammad is the greatest man in human history.

    Sura 68:05
    And thou dost, surely, possess sublime moral excellencies.

    There is no “broad” or “narrow” reading of the Quran, as The New York Times and countless other organs of Western Islamophilia would have us believe. A Muslim is not free to believe or do what he wishes. The basis of the social and legal order and obligation in Islam is the Quran, the final and perfect revelation of Allah’s will that is to be obeyed by all creation. (Surah 4:105)

    The Islamic law, the Shari’a, is not a supplement to the “secular” legal code, it is the only such code and the only basis of obligation, because a
    Muslim’s only true allegiance is to Allah, and to Muhammad:

    “He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah.” (Quran 4:8)
    Islam is a revealed religion, strongly focused on its grounding in history, in the historical person of Muhammad, his revelation and his example. Events as they happened, with all recorded or alleged words and deeds of the Prophet, are the foundation of the faith, law, and social convention. Even his apparently trivial actions and utterances were passed on as rules and mode of conduct, in accordance with the Quranic statement that Muhammad is “a beautiful pattern (of conduct).” (Quran 33:21)

    His sayings and acts guide the lives of all true Muslims to this day, including his rape of enslaved girls and women and his rape of a prepubescent “wife.” Muhammad offers the eternal model of behavior for every little detail of everyday life for all time.

    That Muhammad’s actions and words, as immortalized in the Quran and recorded in the Traditions, are frankly shocking by the standards of our time and punishable by its laws goes without saying. There are hundreds of contemporary Western apologists, however, who argue that we must not extend the judgmental yardstick of our own culture to the members of other cultures who have lived in other eras.

    Even in the context of seventh century Arabia, however, Muhammad had to resort to divine revelations as a means of suppressing the prevalent moral code of his own milieu. Indulging with considerable abandon one’s sensual passions was so fundamentally at odds with the moral standards of his own Arab contemporaries that only the ultimate authority could, and did, sanction it.

    “MUHAMMAD LOVED CHILDREN” :
    Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 5.234
    Narrated byAisha
    The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down.

    Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage).
    Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.

    *** It is NOT unreasonable to assume that Aisha’s hair fell because of the TRAUMA of being married to Muhammad of 50 years, equal in age to her father.

    The above report from her mouth, shows a bewildered and frightened little girl who was given to a much older man for sex.

    To call Muhammad’s intercourse ‘consummation of marriage’ is a diabolical misrepresentation of reality and morality.

    Aisha, a little girl, was RAPED by Muhammad since there was no CONSENT on her part.

    It should also be pointed out that Aisha was not able to bare any children to Muhammad. Here too, one can assume that her reproductive system may have been damaged when Muhammad penetrated her especially if she had not yet reached puberty ***

    Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 5.236
    Narrated byHishams 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.

    Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 6.399 Narrated byYusuf bin Mahik
    I was in the house of ‘Aisha, the mother of the Believers. She said, “This revelation: ‘Nay, but the Hour is their appointed time (for their full recompense); and the Hour will be more previous and most bitter,’ (54.46) was revealed to Muhammad at Mecca while I was a playful little girl.”

    Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 7.18 Narrated byUrsa
    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.”

    For those who speak Arabic, this will read as:

    ” Innama ana akhooka” and Muhammad replied ” Anta akhi fi deen Allah wa kitabihi, wa hiya li halal”

    *** Abu Bakr was so shocked at Muhammad’s proposal to marry the child Aisha of six years that he told him ‘but I am your brother’ meaning that it should not be permissible as if it were incestuous.

    This word ‘but’ brings out the true disbelief of Abu Bakr regarding the request, which of course turned out to be an unchallengeable demand. Muhammad after all was of a similar age to Abu Bakr.

    Unfortunately, Abu Bakr, like all the other gullible, superstitious and frightened followers of Muhammad, actually believed that he was the messenger of Allah and was totally petrified to go against his wishes or demands.

    Even a pagan like Abu Bakr found it unseemly if not offensive to expect and allow a child girl to have sexual intercourse with a man, especially one who was already over fifty years old.

    His shock alone is evidence that what Muhammad was demanding was against the social norms of even the pagans.

    Muhammad had his fantasies and was able to fulfil each and every one of them by introducing an alleged ‘divine’ verse justifying each and every one of his requirements.

    In this manner, with ‘Allah’ always and very conveniently at his beck and call, Muhammad was able to justify all his actions, deeds, misdeeds and desires without any mere mortals being able to challenge the
    ‘messenger of Allah’ ***

    Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 7.57
    Narrated byAisha
    Allah’s Apostle said (to me), “You were shown to me in a dream. An angel brought you to me, wrapped in a piece of silken cloth, and said to me, ‘This is your wife.’ I removed the piece of cloth from your face, and there you were. I said to myself. ‘If it is from Allah, then it will surely be.’

    Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 7.64/65
    Narrated byAisha
    that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).

    Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 7.88
    Narrated byUrsa
    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).

    Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 9.139
    Narrated byAisha Allah’s Apostle said (to me), “You were shown to me twice in (my) dream. Behold, a man was carrying you in a silken piece of cloth and said to me, ‘She is your wife, so uncover her,’ and behold, it was you. I would then say (to myself), ‘If this is from Allah, then it must happen.’ ”

    Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 9.140
    Narrated byAisha
    Allah’s Apostle said to me, “You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, ‘Uncover (her),’ and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), ‘If this is from Allah, then it must happen.’ Then you were shown to me, the angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said (to him), ‘Uncover (her),’ and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), ‘If this is from Allah, then it must happen.’ ”

    *** Muhammad admits that he had sexual fantasies about Aisha even when she was a BABY.

    ****No further comment is needed ****

    Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 4915
    Narrated byAisha, 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.
