RE: aian jaafar

Just thought I would like to add that the thai girl was married and so the child was not born outside marriage.

Al-Qur'an, 065.004 (At-Talaq [Divorce]) ------------------ Authenticity of Quran has been tested by a large number of Westerners and it stands confirmed that it is Divine Message. Muslims should really not care whether contemporary western society has objections towards anything or not, because they have lost their Divine Message. It is indeed laughable that Bible is published in various editions and versions. Even whatever they have, they dont care to read or follow. Quran does not specify age of marriage for women in terms of years. However, 65:4 mentions that Iddat for a female who has not had her mensturation periods yet is the same as for women who have their menstrual cycle. Thus, if Allah Almighty does not have any objection over minor marriage, then nobody should have any objection. I have read the arguments by Abdur Rahman Siddiqi Kandhalwi. His argument carries weight. However, even if we accept the Hadith in Sahih Bukhari, then we have endorsement of Quran to this effect. If Allah Almighty allows something, we should not be apologetic about that. Allah Knows Best

To AbuBakr,

Thank you for that great reference. The author did such a scholarly job proving that Aicha’s age was indeed 19 and not 9 as claimed by deceptive Christian evangelists. She was (Allah’s peace and blessings on her) noblest of character and a warrior at heart. She wasn’t playing with toys, as their fake hadiths allege, but clashing swords with Islam’s enemies and carrying the flag of victory to many decisive battles. Her legendary courage and devotion to the faith would put their Joan of Arc to shame.

This book by Allamah Habib ur Rahman Kandhalvi proves from many points that Aisha (ra) was 19 not 9: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikisource/en/8/8f/Age_of_Aisha.pdf ALL the hadiths that say she was 9 are traced to just 1 man called Hisham the son of Urwah. EVERY SINGLE ONE of these hadiths, whether from Bukhari, Muslim etc, include this man and the above scholar shows us how he made this error in the latter part of his life. The Allamah shows from the Hadith Literature itself that Aisha (ra) was born several years before 610 CE. So that at the Hijrah in 623, she was about 17. How can we disagree with a conclusion of a result when we all agree with the individual data?? We all agree with the following: Aisha(ra) was 10 years younger than her sister Asma(ra). Asma(ra) died in 73 AH aged 100. Threfore Asma(ra) was 27 at the Hijrah. Therefore Aisha(ra) was 17 at the Hijrah. WHY CANT YOU AGREE TO THIS SIMPLE LOGIC?? Please read the book. All its arguments are from Islamic sources. Hisham bin Urwah was a reliable narrator while he was in Madinah, and all his narrations from there are Sahih. But Imam Bukhari seems to be unaware of what happened to him when Hisham moved to iraq aged 71. The Allamah quotes Dhahabi & Hafiz Ibn Hajr to show that Hishams memory became so bad that he even confused his own wifes marriage date saying that he married her when she was 9! Before he was even born!! She was actually 11 years older than him & they married when she was 29. So, Muslims should speak with knowledge or remain silent.

The Bible degrades the Prophets of God by vilification:
For a Muslim, many of the claims to be found in the Bible with regard to the prophets of God, and even God himself, are monstrous and preposterous. One is hard pressed to find a single prophet or messenger who was not a drunkard, an idolater, an adulterer, guilty of incest, a liar, and so forth. The Bible practically overflows with such stories from almost every Tom, Dick, and Harry. The messengers of God are even made to be guilty of multiple cases of adultery and worse. Abraham (pbuh) is alleged to be a liar and worse (Genesis 12:13). Noah (pbuh) a drunkard (Genesis 9:21). Lot (pbuh) a drunkard and guilty of incest (Genesis 19:30-38). Solomon (pbuh) a worshipper of idols in his old age (1 Kings 4-9), King David (pbuh) commits adultery with Uriah’s wife and then murdered her husband (2 Samuel 11:3-4,15-18), David’s son Ammon is guilty of incest and the rape of his half sister (2 Samuel 13:14). Aaron (pbuh) fashions an idol (the golden calf) for the Jews to worship (Exodus 32:1-4), to name but a very few of the many allegations to be found in the current Bible. (Misha’al Ibn Abdullah Al-Kadhi, What Did Jesus Really Say? [online Source]
Here is a brief summary:
Noah got drunk, Lot committed incest, Moses was a murderer, Aaron built the calf, David committed adultery, and Solomon was guilty of idol-worship. Yet the Prophet Muhammad is not guilty of any of these crimes!
Strangely, Christians defend the false portrayal of God and His prophets, yet have the audacity to charge the Prophet Muhammad with falsehood!

hi prashanth,

all over the world having sex at a young age is considered bad ONLY RECENTLY. but what is really bad is having sex OUTSIDE MARRIAGE.

no law that man can ever legislate can prevent a nine-year old girl from getting pregnant provided she has reached puberty at that age. so, what are we going to do, consider that young Thai mummy’s child a bastard, since it did not fulfill your artificial requirements? she’s not supposed to have a child, right? why didn’t you stop God from letting her bear one?

i am really puzzled at some people who react to the Beloved Prophet’s marriage to the young Aishah, who was physically, biologically, and naturally capable of bearing children by then (since the marriage was consummated when she has reached puberty). it will not do to argue that the Prophet and the respected Mother of the Believers did not have children, since puberty is the way to determine one’s readiness to have children.

and what if they are odd? rare does not make something evil. i’d rather that people would complain against homosexual relationships, whom God Almighty has cursed with perpetual sterility (to any homosexual who would react to this, please bring any proof that you serve mankind’s biological investment of propagation of the species through your homosexual relationship).

while the legal age has been higher, there is no decrease to the number of broken families around the world. i wonder why?
