Do you have question about early marriage of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) and Aisha bint Abi Bakr (r.a.)?



Aisha (r.a.) was the youngest and favorite wife of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) and she was a great Muslim lady. She was very talented and had a wonderful memory. A Muslim scholar, she is credited with narrating more than two thousand hadith. She had a great love of learning and became noted for her intelligence, learning and sharp sense of judgement. Aishah (r.a.) memorized quite a number of Surahs of the Qur’an. Her father was a man of learning and she inherited his love of knowledge.

Aisha (r.a.) was born in Mecca in 614 CE to Umm Ruman (r.a.) and Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq (r.a.), the closest friend of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) and the first Khalifah of Islam. Most accounts report that Aisha (r.a.) was six years old at the time of her marriage and nine when the marriage was consummated. She only went to live with him when she was 12 (some say 15). Although the bridal age of Aisha (r.a.) sometimes draws criticism, child marriages in 7th century Arabia were culturally and morally acceptable, just as they were in Biblical times. The Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) was known to have an impeccable character, and his marriage to a child bride was an exception to his other marriages.

I heard some non-muslim people are arguing about this marriage and blame it child marriage. Is it true??? Let see what Mufti Menk is saying:

Is Music Haram? or Halal?

Music is haram and the vast majority of earlier Muslim scholars including all great four Imams are agreed with that. But there are few scholars are disagree with it and said music is halal according to few Al-hadith . Big confusion: Is Music Haram or Halal? Is Music Haram? From Quran Allah says: And of the people is he who buys the amusement of speech to mislead [others] from the way of Allah without knowledge and who takes it in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment. [31:6] amusement of speech  has been  referenced  as the following by the following people: Ibn Abbas PBUH: Singing Mogahed: Drums Alhassan Albasri: Singing and Flutes Ibn Masood: Singing Abi Omar PBUH: Singing Allah also says: And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusi

Be a full Muslim, not just a Muslim Butt!

To be a Muslim, you need to fill up five requirements, which is called "Piller of Muslim". These are as following: 1. To testify that ( Sahada ): There is no god but God and that Prophet Muhammed ( Peace be upon him ) is his last messenger 2. To pray the 5 times Prayers/Salah : Fajir (Sunrise) Dhuhor (Midday) Asr (Afternoon) Magrib (Sunset) Isha (Night) 3. To pay charity: A certain amount of your income should be given which is called Zakat ...the other charity u can give as much as u want. 4. To fast during the month of Ramadan . 5. And to make the pilgrimage ( Hajj ), if you can afford it. Some Muslims think the First Piller "Kalma" or Testify is enough to be a Muslim. Sorry, the idea is incorrect!!! Sheik Yusuf Estes said that makes a Muslim BUTT, not the full body of Muslim. Please check the following video: InShaAllah, Allah will guide you to be full body of Muslim. JajakAllah.
