Lets analyze… # The Prophet married Aisha primarily for three reasons: # To reinforce the friendly relations already existing with Abu Bakr (his closest companion). # To educate and train Aisha so she may serve the purposes of Islam. # To teach her to utilize her capabilities for the sake of Islam. #  Her  Marriage with the prophet was a Wahi (Divine Revelation). She,  herself  relates from the Prophet, ‘He said, “I saw you in dreams three  times.  The angel brought you to me and you were clad in white silk. He  (the  angel) said that it was your consort and he (angel) showed me by  opening  your face. You are just like that…” Sahih Muslim, Vol.2, p.285. #    Aisha ®  was born after her parents had embraced Islam. Therefore,  she was free  from the defilement of polytheism right from her birth. #    In her  youth, already known for her striking beauty and her  formidable memory,  she came under the loving care and attention of the  Prophet himself. As  his wife and close companion she acquired from him  knowledge and insight  such as no woman has ever acquired. Aishah  lived  on almost fifty years after the passing away of the Prophet. She  had  been his wife for a decade. Much of this time was spent in  learning and  acquiring knowledge of the two most important sources of  God’s guidance,  the Quran and the Sunnah of His Prophet. Aishah ® was  one of the three  wives (the other two being Hafsa ® and Umm Salamah ®)  who memorized the  Revelation. Like Hafsa ®, she had her own script of  the Quran written  after the Prophet had died. #  So far as  the Hadith or sayings of the Prophet is concerned, Aishah ®  is one of  four persons (the others being Abu Hurrah, Abdullah ibn Umar,  and Ana  ibn Malik) who transmitted more than two thousand sayings.  From her,  2210 Hadith have come, out of which 174 Hadith are commonly  agreed upon  by both Bukhari and Muslim. Many of her transmissions  pertain to some of  the most intimate aspects of personal behavior which  only someone in  Aishah’s position could have learnt. What is most  important is that her  knowledge of Hadith was passed on in written form  by at least three  persons including her nephew Urwah who became one of  the greatest  scholars among the generation after the Companions. It is  the claim of  the Scholars of Islam that without her, half of the  Ilm-I-Hadith  [knowledge, understanding of the Hadith (and Islam)] would  have  perished. #    Many of the learned  companions of the Prophet and their followers  benefited from Aishah’s  knowledge. Abu Musa al-Ashari once said: “If we  companions of the  Messenger of God had any difficulty on a matter, we  asked Aisha about  it.” “Yahya  related to me  from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Said ibn al-Musayyab  that Abu Musa  al-Ashari came to Aishah, the wife of the Prophet, may  Allah bless him  and grant him peace, and said to her, “The disagreement  of the  companions in a matter which I hate to bring before you has  distressed  me.” She said, “What is that? You did not ask your mother  about it, so  ask me.” He said, “A man penetrates his wife, but becomes  listless and  does not ejaculate. “She said, “When the circumcised part  passes the  circumcised part ghusl is obligatory.” Abu Musa added, “I  shall never  ask anyone about this after you.” Al-Muwatta of Imam Malik Hadith 2.75 Arwa Bin Zubair says, “I   did not find anyone more proficient (than Aisha ®) in the knowledge of   the Holy Quran, the Commandments of Halal (lawful) and Haram   (prohibited), Ilmul-Ansab and Arabic poetry. That is why, even senior   companions of the Prophet used to consult Aisha ® in resolving intricate   issued“.Jala-ul-Afham by Ibn Qaiyem and Ibn Sa’ad, Vol.2, p.26 Abu Musa al-Ashari says: “Never   had we (the companions) had any difficulty for the solution of which  we  approached Aisha and did not get some useful information from her“.Sirat-I-Aisha, on the authority of Trimidhi, pg. 163 #  As a  teacher she had a clear and persuasive manner of speech and her  power of  oratory has been described in superlative terms by al-Ahnaf  who said:  “I have heard speeches of Abu Bakr and Umar, Uthman and Ali  and the  Khulafa up to this day, but I have not heard speech more  persuasive and  more beautiful from the mouth of any person than from  the mouth of  Aishah.” The  Prophet  said, “The superiority of ‘Aisha to other ladies is like the  superiority  of Tharid (i.e. meat and bread dish) to other meals. Many  men reached  the level of perfection, but no woman reached such a level  except Mary,  the daughter of Imran and Asia, the wife of Pharaoh.”  Sahih Al-Bukhari  Hadith, Narrated by Abu Musa Al Ashari Hadith 4.643 Musa Ibn Talha ® says, “I did not see anyone more eloquent than Aisha ®” Mustadrak of Hakim, Vol.4,p.11 # Men and women came from far and wide to benefit from her knowledge. Aisha’s  great  interest in the study of the Qur’an is understandable. She was  an  eye-witness to a number of revelations and had therefore a clear  idea of  the circumstances in which they were revealed. It was on her  bed alone  (and no other consort’s) that the Prophet received Wahi  (Divine  Revelations) several times. This helped her in interpreting the  verses. # At the time of the Prophet’s death, the Prophet’s head was on her lap. It was in her quarters that the Prophet was buried. The  life of  Aishah (R) is a proof that a woman can be far more learned  than men and  that she can be the teacher of scholars and experts. Her  life is also a  proof that a woman can exert influence over men and  women and provide  them with inspiration and leadership. Aisha (R) is a  continuing  inspiration and role model to today’s youth who are  diligently searching  for an example amongst the pop stars, movie  actresses and sports stars.  May the memory of her’s live forever in the  heart of the Muslim Ummah  and may Allah grant her the highest abode in  Paradise…Aameen. Conclusion: It  was the  aforementioned qualities of Aisha ® and the Prophet’s guidance  in  molding these capabilities for the service of Islam, were the main   reasons, why the Prophet Married young Aisha ®, and not the perverted   reasons brought forth by misguided orientalists. Muslims   invite all sincere humans to study the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace   be upon) in the light of the authentic sources of the Quran and the   Sunnah (exemplary sayings and deeds of the Prophet) and judge for   themselves where the truth lies. Indeed, by recognizing the truth of   Islam as the final and complete Guidance sent by our Creator can   humanity find lasting peace in this world and a means of salvation from   the hell fire in the hereafter. “I  have studied him –  the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being  an anti-Christ, he  must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe  that if a man like him  were to assume the dictatorship of the modern  world, he would succeed in  solving its problems in a way that would  bring it the much needed peace  and happiness: I have prophesied about  the faith of Muhammad that it  would be acceptable to the Europe of  tomorrow as it is beginning to be  acceptable to the Europe of today.” George Bernard Shaw, THE GENUINE ISLAM, Vol. 1, No. 81936. Though, the Prophet is not among us in his flesh, but his exemplary life has been preserved for all humanity to follow. When Truth comes Falsehood disappears, Islam came, now Shirk (polytheism) must clear!</blockquote>
