so all right let's see

this one is about why did the Prophet Muhammad

peace be upon a Mary Aisha at such a young age

let's figure this out

a lot of people have been asking us this

and we've been talking to

we want to see what he has to say so we'll check it out

much then says non believers mostly ask this question

why did your prophet Sallallahu Alayhillah

marry Aisha when she was just a child

how do we respond to them

first of all

you

do not have to respond

to every question that you're asked

if someone asks you an inappropriate question

would you answer him

so if someone asks you about the previous sin

did you ever try champagne

have you ever gone out with a woman and fornicated

and you say oh

I stop for a lot I can't lie okay

yes I did or no

I didn't no

you don't answer such questions

now if the person asking this question

is someone who's objective

who's fair who's just

who's interested in learning about Islam

no problem in answering him

if he is someone

who's just trying to tarnish the reputation of Islam

trying to cast doubt in your mind

avoid him and do not pay any attention to him

but seriously Sheikh

come on why did the Prophet as Assam

when he was like 53 years of age

marry a child of 9 years of age

this is unheard of

wait and don't fall into Satan's crap

gather information do your homework

make a research to understand the circumstances

then you can answer this Insha Allah

with clarity and transparency

first of all

the Prophet was 53 years of age when he married Aisha

was he married before that

yes he was married when he was 25 years of age

for a quarter of a century

he married a woman who was 15 years older than him

so he married a woman of 40 when he was 25

and remained married to her until she died

when she was 65 years of age

this isn't the track record of a womanizer

Allah Musallahu Alaihimallah Muhammad

this is the track record of a decent man

in the prime of his youth

being satisfied and content with an older woman

for 25 years definitely this man is a decent person

okay chef

but again why did he marry this child after she died

that is Hadija may I please

with her

he married a woman his age

so that means Emma she was also 50+ years of age

because she's a she was a widowed and she was alone

and he wanted to console her by marrying her

and Aisha by the way

before the Prophet proposed to her already

Jubaid of an amount of new ID

maleb please

with him his father proposed to Abu Bukkar for his son

so he he proposed to Ayesha to get married to his son

Jubair

but when Abu Bakr declined

then the Prophet Assam proposed

why did the Prophet propose Alisal son

because Allah ordered him to marry her in a revelation

and he saw her picture twice brought to him by Jibril

why did he marry Aisha

because she was the daughter of his lifetime friend

his best friend Abu Bakr

and they wanted to strengthen the bond

so he married her

but again why at this young age

this is the norm

at the time of the Prophet

this is the age that girls got married in

don't judge their era with the standards we have today

in Gyrgyzstan today

the average age of marriage is from 10 to 13

in Mexico

in some states the age of marriage is 14

and in some it's 18

even the idol worshippers

the Jews the Christians

for 13 centuries no one had ever spoken about

why is he or was he married to such a young girl

because this was normal

Omar bin Hattab who was like in his 60s

married his friend's daughter

the daughter of Idy

who was a child of 11 or 12 years of age

that was the norm

Abu Bakr when his daughter huffs

Umar himself his daughter Huffsa

when she when her husband died

he went to Abu Bakr who was way older than him himself

telling him or asking him to marry his daughter

so this was the norm and if you

our objective

you will find that the Prophet married a young girl

married an old woman married a widowed

married the daughter of his fierce enemy

Abu Sufian married the daughter of a Jew

married different types and arrays of women

to collect

and combine and join the community and the society

and he married her because of her wit

and intelligence and intellect

he knew that she would teach his own

which actually happened the affairs of her religion

so this is in a summary why he married her

may Allah be pleased with her

wow he actually gave some good points

because it's actually a fallacy called presentism

where you're judging today's standards and morality

into back then

because the life span back then was 30 to 40 years old

so you're already if you're 10 years old

you already lived a 30 year life

I'm sure you're working

I'm sure you're acting and working as an adult

you obviously you're not developed

you're not an adult obviously

but back then was such a different time

that we can't even fathom it

and also 14 years ago

no one actually knows how old this person was

because they had they didn't know their age

they'd had no idea to tell

they didn't keep track of their a

I'm sure that was

not the most important thing for them to keep track of

so it's not like today now everyone's got a calendar

everyone understands oh

this is when my birthday is

this exact day people didn't even know their birthdays

exactly they didn't know their exact birthday

but yeah

that's that is interesting

but the other points that were

he said about you know

is his best friend and he did marry Khadijah

who was a lot older and his best friend

they wanted to combine the families together

and he got these visions from god

so a lot of times you can't judge something

if there is a God is telling you to do it

then that that is what you need to do so right

right absolutely

and yeah

I mean I know back then it was very

very different like you said

no one knows this exact age for sure

we can't say but

you know I

I know that was more normal back then

especially even around Jesus is time

it was normal for girls get married off around

you know around 12

essentially when they hit puberty

cause if you have a different

completely moral society code

and you're basically just going off biologics

and people die a lot quicker

a lot sooner that too

and the concept of marrying and marriage

I'm sure was quite different too

because to a father his job is to protect his child

and make sure his child taken care of right

sound like he was getting older

you know he might want to make sure that

his daughter is in a good place

taken care of well off before

you know God

forbid he passes on and that's your duty as a father

right to make sure that your

kids are gonna be in good position

and marrying was very very big for that you know

especially back then like you solidified something

cause if you see a good man that could

you know influence your child for the better

the way to go about a relationship like that

solidify it would be through marriage

you're not just gonna have your daughter around a man

hmm you know

if they're not married yeah

and if he knows this guy

you think this guy is not a creep

he's not you know weirdo

he is a good guy

and he is going to take care of my family

that's what they're thinking

they're not thinking it's in today's day and age

people view everything by this sex and having sex

I mean people need to get this out of their mind

stop viewing everything about having sex

and started viewing it as

as actual duty if you're getting married

because a lot of these people were getting married

for a duty to their family

to solidify their bloodline and to help their families

and if you had one healthy child

that was like a blessing you're like okay

you know now in this woman

she needs some take care of her it's a crazy world yeah

so

you know it was just a different time and like I said

it was about justifying or justification

it's about understanding why this actually happened

and what was going on during that time frame

so yeah it's a really interesting video guys

and let us know anything yeah

great explanation so

let us know what you guys think about that

and how you guys explain it

if people are asking you about it
