Hazrat Aisha (RA) ; a

Prominent Name in
the Islamic History  Posted by Khizra Zaheer

 On August 3, 2020
 In Islam, Modesty
1. Introduction
Hazrat Aisha (RA) is the most prominent one in Islamic history. She was the
daughter of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq ( RA) and he was the closest and dearest
companion of our Holy Prophet (SAW). He was the first Khalifa of the Holy
Prophet (SAW).

Hazrat Aisha (RA) is the prominent personality who fought and challenged the
dominant stereotypes and all restrictions of society. Her deeds greatly signify the
progressive stance of women in our religion. Her life depicts that Islam prohibits
discrimination and gives equal rights to men and women. She was an incisive
woman who played great roles of wife, stateswoman, scholar, and a great thinker
whereas she exhibited wonderful moral qualities. She became one of the most
influential persons guiding people thorough out the era.

2. Her divine marriage

The demise of Hazrat Khadija (RA) saddened the Holy Prophet (SAW) to the
greatest extent and he did not prefer to marry anyone for a while. He planned to
pursue his mission for Islam, However, at one time, he saw a dream in which an
angel gifted him something that was wrapped in silk. In the dream, our Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) was told that she was his wife in both lives of the world and
hereafter. In the silk cover, he saw Hazrat Aisha (RA).
Hazrat Khaulah bint Hakim recommended him to marry Aisha (RA) and the
Messenger (SAW) of Allah perceived it as a sign by Allah and asked Khaulah to
send the proposal at Aisha (RA)’s home.

However then Hazrat Aisha (RA) got married to the Holy Prophet (SAW) but the
union of them did not accomplish for several years.

3. Her age at the time of

marriage
Different sources revealed a distinct age number when Hazrat Aisha (RA) got
married to our Prophet Muhammad (SAW). This often becomes a controversial
topic of debate. There is one hadith narrated by Hisham that reports that Hazrat
Aisha (RA) was nine years old at the time of marriage. However, regarding her
age, the Promised Messiahas stated in one of his writings:

“It has been written that she was nine years of age. Firstly, there is no
evidence that the Holy Prophetsa stated this, nor has there been any
revelation in regard to this, nor is it substantiated from the Akhbare-
Mutawatirah, [sayings of the Prophet Muhammadsa reported by a large
number of people] that she was certainly nine years old.
(Nur-ul-Quran, No. 2, Ruhani Khazain, Vol. 9, pp. 377-378)

Another source:

Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad stated in The Life and Character of the Seal of the
Prophets that she (Aisha RA) may have been 12 years old.

Some modern researchers have debated the accuracy of this Hadith and
depicted that she was much older. There, one of the scholars Hisham incorrectly
left out the word “ashara” i.e. “ten”, after the word “tis‘ah”. It means “nine” in
Arabic and this implies that she was 19 years old at the time when she entered
the household of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) her husband.

Our Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) got married to Hazrat Aisha (RA) as he
saw her as a future religious scholar who can educate and train people well and
give a better understanding of Islam.
4. Blessed Personality of
Aisha (RA)
Her personality was a treasure with numerous blessings.
The Holy Prophet(SAW) used to say that among all his wives, it was only in
her abode that he received revelation.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith no. 3775)

The union of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and Aisha (RA) was a product of the
greatest divine inspiration and the angels convey their salutations to her. Hazrat
Abu Salama narrates the Holy Prophet(SAW) said to Aisha (RA):

“Aisha, Gabriel conveys his Salam to you” to which she returned his
greetings.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith no. 3217)”

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith no. 3218)

The Holy Prophetsa used to say:

“The greatness of Aishara over the rest of the wives is like thareed”, i.e. the
superiority that meat has over ordinary food.

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith no. 3769)

5. As the last companion

Aisha (RA) holds a blessed and unique distinction over other wives of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (SAW). It was that the Holy Prophet(SAW) spent his last
days and hours at Aisha (RA)’s house. In this regard, the wives of the Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) was agreed as it was in his best interest to pass the last days
in Aisha’s house.

His last words were, “[I now go to] Allah, the Noblest Companion” as his
head rested on the bosom of his beloved wife, Aisha(RA) .

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith no. 4463)

6. Her knowledge
When the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) passed away, she played a
crucial role in conveying the knowledge ahead of that she got from our beloved
prophet. She is the narrator of more than 2,200 ahadith that really guide Muslims
in the matters of life. The personality of Aisha (RA) is one of the most captivating
in the mainstream of Islamic intellectual history. Throughout her lifespan, she
helped the companions of the Holy Prophet (SAW) in resolving complicated
issues. Our Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said the believers to learn half of
the religious knowledge from her.

Her nephew, Hazrat Urwara bin Zubair said that:

“I have never met anyone whose knowledge surpassed Hazrat Aisha’s. She was
the most scholarly person of her time in the Quran, fundamentals of religion, fiqh,
poetry, medicine, Arabian history, and genealogy.”

The scholars affirm that one-fourth of Islamic jurisprudence is founded on the

information that she passed to the world.

7. Her demise
Aisha (RA) passed away in 678 AD. As per her wish, she got buried in Jannat-ul-
Baqi alongside the rest of the noble wives of the Holy Prophet (SAW).

In a Hadith narrated on the authority of Hazrat Amr bin Al ‘As (RA)

“I came to the Holy Prophet(SAW) and asked, ‘Who is the most beloved to
you?’ He replied ‘Aisha.’ ‘And who among men?’ I asked. He replied, ‘Her
father.’”

(Sahih al Bukhari, Hadith no. 3662)
