What do you think about Muhammed, the founder of Islam, marriying a 6 year old girl and sleeping with her when she is 9?

Muhammed had 9 wives at the same time when he died. The youngest he married was Aisha.

[jshm2]

Doesn't really matter as it was within the laws of the time and many European kings married children even younger.

It was common practice to rear ones wives for offices of state. All the wives of Muhammed (saw) held great offices in the following caliphates. Aisha (ra) was even a general in one of the armies.

Hence it's laughable to claim she, or any of the wives, were upset at their upbringing. They were true patriots and gave their lives to found the Arab state and join all the Arab tribes.

Mainly as Muhammed (SAW) is the only man in history to not only never lose a battle, but to unite his people, create a state, and found a rule of law all within his lifetime. Not even Jesus, David or Moses managed half of that!

[Asker]

Muhammed lost the Battle of Uhud.

[jshm2]

He was injured, not defeated, dumbass. The Muslims regrouped and won the battle.

Get a clue.

[Asker]

It is written that muslims lost the battle of uhud on internet.

[Asker]

And battle of Uhud takes place in Muhammed's time.

[Asker]

Looks like Muhammed's Allah didn't help enough.

[Asker]

Muslims lost the battle of Uhud. Next war was later.

So it means Muhammed lost the battle of Uhud.

It says he was badly injured in that war as well.

Age did not matter in terms of marriage anywhere in the world (besides England) until about 220 years ago. The age of consent and age of marriage were 10 to 12 when they were first set in the 18th century, and over the next two centuries it slowly increased.

Since the Qur’aan is the final revelation and Muhammad (SAW) was the last prophet, Islam doesn’t have the luxury to keep changing the age of marriage with time, like governments do. Islam simply says that it depends on the biological maturity and psychological maturity of the individuals, and requires their consent.

European and American lawmakers decided most girls were ready for marriage at age 10 until just 160 years ago, it’s almost certain that most girls would be ready at a far younger age 1400 years ago.

", marriying a 6 year old girl and sleeping with her when she is 9?" wheres the proof?

[Opinion Owner]

Islamophobes judge the actions of the Prophet using a moral compass that is only applicable to modern society. In order to justify their Islamophobic sentiments, they seek to impose moral judgments that are only relevant in the present, on practices that occurred 1400 years ago, where rules and cultural norms were different to the norms and customs of today. This is something that anthropologists who study cultural phenomena warn against, because it is unacceptable to judge previous cultures and civilisations based on modern standards of living. Instead, a society and people must be judged by the rules and cultural norms that existed in their era. Therefore, if marriage to a 9 year old was a normative practice throughout various civilisations over 14 centuries ago, then it is just as valid as current legislation in the UK, which states that people cannot be married until they reach the age of 16.

Also, it is interesting to note that these accusations against the Prophet were only brought forward during the last century. Before 1905, no such claims against the Prophet existed and were only introduced and popularised by David Margoliouth, a British historian who was affiliated with the Zionist movement. This was because 100 years ago in many countries around the world (including the USA), the general age of consent for marriage was 10 years old and in one state it was even lower at 7 years old. So the question is, why have certain individuals in the West remained silent about non-Muslims who married prepubescent girls between the ages of 7 and 10, but have chosen to single out the Prophet in their attacks? It is because these attacks have been used to push public opinion against Islam and thus given certain figures in the West the opportunity to achieve their political objectives.

[Opinion Owner]

To further prove their hypocrisy, Islamaphobes fail to mention that in the US, the current minimum legal age for marriage in New Hampshire is 13. Where is the grievance there?

Also a question worth asking is; if biological, social and physical development doesn't determine whether a person is ready to get married or not, what does?

And last but not least, we have to take in to consideration the life expectancy 1400 years ago

Hadiths are written by muslims.

Google it. It is easy for you to find.

Here is the source, sahih hadith

[Agape93]

Same as every time this is asked on here. Dudes a pedophile

[Berethor]

It's really messed up, but islam says that he an example for mankind to follow.

He did NOT marry a 9-year-old OR a 6-year-old. That is a myth. Christopher Columbus and Thomas Jefferson on the other hand enslaved TENS of young children of color... those young as 5 to 12.

And Muhammad only had one wife:

[InsecureLivesMatter]

but Christians and Jews and ESPECIALLY Catholics who hate Muslims will cricket from the truth because their worldwide view of general religious righteousness is Euro-centric (contrary to popular belief, all the Abrahamic religions minus Mormonism originated in the Middle East)

"Hazrat Aisha was 19, not 9"

[Asker]

Muhammed had one wife? What the fuck?

No muslim would say such a thing.

[Asker]

Hadiths say Aisha was 6 when Muhammed married her and he had sex sex with her when he was 9 years old.

"This hadith cannot be true for several reasons. First, the Prophet could not have gone against the Quran to marry a physically and intellectually immature child. Secondly, the age of Hazrat Aisha can be easily calculated from the age of her elder sister Hazrat Asma who was 10 years older than Hazrat Aisha. Waliuddin Muhammad Abdullah Al-Khateeb al Amri Tabrizi the famous author of Mishkath, in his biography of narrators (Asma ur Rijal), writes that Hazrat Asma died in the year 73 Hijri at the age of 100, ten or twelve days after the martyrdom of her son Abdullah Ibn Zubair. It is common knowledge that the Islamic calendar starts from the year of the Hijrah or the Prophet’s migration from Mecca to Medina."

Show me a SINGLE verse from the Qur'an where this contradicts your argument!

[Asker]

Without hadiths, you cannot even pray 5 times a day.

A lot muslims accept sahih hadiths.

I read those verses and it's clear a lot of English speakers will take Arabic translations out of context. Islam is an Arab-centric religion. Mistranslations happen in both the Qur'an and the Armenian-originated Bible.

Child marriage is still legal in many third-world countries. Islam is not western-centric unlike Christianity or Judaism. That said I am in no way defending pedophilia. What those two verses say is that the father starts the marriage of his daughter (regardless of age) for the boy or man that is Muslim

[Asker]

English isn't my native language. I am from Tutkey, muslim majorty country. Turkish translation says the same. It is not about English Speakers.

[Asker]

*Turkey*

[InsecureLivesMatter]

Then ask the same question without the anon mark, anonymous is for trolls

[Asker]

So you dont believe I am from Turkey and my native language is Turkish?

[Asker]

Turkish tranlation is just the same.

It has nothing to do with English speakers.

I first read in Turkish before I read in English.

[Asker]

This site has a lot of people from Turkey. What is shocking?

[FireGodGoesSeeknFire]

I think it's not productive to try people on absentia for crimes committed long ago and all the less so when they are cultural or religious icons

[Guy13]

Sick dude but that is evident seeing how Islam works itself out in the world.

[AngryCarl]

That's some authentic pedophile shit right there. But hey, we're talking about camel fuckers here.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Typical. Muhammad was a major P. O. S. piss be upon him.

[Anonymous]

He is a pedophile and the world would be a better place without Islam. Much better.

[MCheetah]

I already knew that.

That's really messed up if its true.
