Jummah Kutbahaykah on the Prophet's first wife, Aisha, who was 25 years older than her husband, when he died at the age of 25, why did he take her as his first wife? And why did she stay with him after he died?


Transcript

00:00:00.080 She does not once ever mention that I never wanted to marry him and not only that
00:00:04.620 when he died she could have easily go and get married again.
00:00:08.620 Yeah she stayed a widow.
00:00:12.420 Just imagine the people back in the day when they would have to travel certain distances
00:00:16.120 for months or even years.
00:00:17.960 What is one thing that they would carry with them?
00:00:20.420 The Quran.
00:00:21.500 Why?
00:00:22.080 Because they did not have it on their mobile devices or their gadgets.
00:00:25.240 Brothers and sisters, imagine you have a app, the Qurani app,
00:00:28.540 which not only shows you how much rewards you get,
00:00:31.780 but reminds you to read the Quran, gives you reminders.
00:00:35.480 Download the Qurani app now and let it testify for you on your Qiyamah
00:00:39.240 that you read it wherever you was.
00:00:41.620 We look at the situation with our, what's coming on now.
00:00:45.340 So we look at a nine-year-old now and go, oh my gosh.
00:00:47.720 But what we're saying is that we're talking about 1400 years ago.
00:00:50.340 In this country, about 100 years ago,
00:00:53.740 if you read William Blackstone's book on British common law,
00:00:56.260 girls were betrothed at the age of seven.
00:00:58.540 In this country, I never said it to us.
00:01:00.320 I'm not saying it to us.
00:01:00.900 I'm just trying to prove a point that this happened 100 years ago,
00:01:03.240 let alone 1400 years ago.
00:01:04.520 Now, what we're saying is the following.
00:01:06.120 We believe that, for example, the Prophet Muhammad,
00:01:08.120 peace be upon him, we look at his character.
00:01:10.620 We look at who he was.
00:01:11.980 Because when an accusation is, an aspersion,
00:01:14.820 for example, about your father,
00:01:15.780 if somebody comes to say something about your father,
00:01:17.960 you're going to hold them and say, I know my dad.
00:01:19.100 And I don't, what you're accusing of him cannot be true.
00:01:22.840 So you don't believe him like this?
00:01:23.880 No, no, no, no, we do.
00:01:25.280 What we're saying is this aspersion that he was a paedophilic person is not true.
00:01:29.780 Because it's someone who's overrated to marry me on top.
00:01:32.180 No, because, no, no, no.
00:01:33.420 Because what that means, paedophilic is someone who has attraction to minors.
00:01:37.140 So what we're saying is the Prophet Muhammad,
00:01:38.360 his first wife, who's 25 years older than him.
00:01:41.840 So if somebody has this perversion,
00:01:43.640 why are the 8-year-olds, 7-year-olds, 8-year-olds?
00:01:45.580 We say, number one, we look at his character.
00:01:47.920 The fact that he was married to one woman who was 15 years older than him
00:01:50.760 in his prime when he was 25.
00:01:52.820 Then when she died, he married Aisha.
00:01:56.580 But just bear in mind,
00:01:58.420 the marriage contract was done at the age of six.
00:02:01.040 When she became an adult, Nikah.
00:02:03.720 Now, when I say she became an adult,
00:02:05.580 to you and 9-year-olds, not just puberty,
00:02:07.460 there has to be no harm.
00:02:09.560 Because in this country, it says 16 is the legal age.
00:02:12.020 However, a 16-year-old girl could not be ready.
00:02:13.960 It could harm her.
00:02:14.940 So Islam doesn't put one shoe on all.
00:02:16.720 It says that each girl, it depends on her age.
00:02:20.540 Right?
00:02:21.000 So it doesn't say, oh, you're 16 now, you can go and have intimacy.
00:02:24.060 No, you might not be mentally, sexually and physically ready.
00:02:28.280 Okay, what we're saying is, if she wasn't, for example,
00:02:31.120 at the age of 9, bear in mind, this is 1,400 years ago.
00:02:34.220 1,400 years ago.
00:02:35.860 So we're saying, girls back then,
00:02:37.960 and the lifespan back then is totally different.
00:02:39.960 Now, one thing that I'll tell you the following.
00:02:41.880 Can you ever lie about love?
00:02:44.880 Like, for example, if you, I don't know,
00:02:46.180 have you ever been in love?
00:02:47.060 I always want to learn about the religion.
00:02:49.060 When somebody's in love, you cannot lie about love.
00:02:51.460 You can lie about a lot of stuff,
00:02:52.640 but you cannot fake love.
00:02:53.840 Now, we look at the Prophet's marriage to Aisha,
00:02:55.880 and we look at the dynamics it was.
00:02:57.980 If she was coerced,
00:02:59.320 if she didn't want to be in that marriage,
00:03:00.960 there were certain things that she would have shown
00:03:02.900 that would have been like, hold on a second,
00:03:04.500 this doesn't make sense.
00:03:05.180 Number one, she was perpetually jealous.
00:03:08.340 So anytime the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,
00:03:10.900 argument's sake, there was an attractive woman next to him,
00:03:13.820 she would have this extreme jealousy.
00:03:15.640 So much so, once she smashed,
00:03:17.220 she made food for the Prophet,
00:03:18.940 and she smashed the plate.
00:03:21.860 Why?
00:03:22.120 Because the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,
00:03:23.440 obviously he was married.
00:03:24.160 We believe in polygamy in Islam.
00:03:25.740 He didn't know.
00:03:27.300 He had some food that was made from his other wife.
00:03:29.720 Now, Aisha broke the plate.
00:03:31.480 The question I'm asking is the following, sister.
00:03:33.160 If there was coerced,
00:03:34.380 if this was something abnormal,
00:03:35.600 why didn't his enemies use it against him
00:03:37.220 and say, hold on a second,
00:03:38.300 you say you're a prophet of God,
00:03:39.920 why are you marrying a nine-year-old?
00:03:41.740 Because she was an adult then.
00:03:43.320 You need to understand, for example,
00:03:44.220 you're 16, yeah?
00:03:45.340 Have you heard Aikon?
00:03:47.580 Aikon, did you listen to Aikon?
00:03:49.320 Aikon, Rafa.
00:03:50.840 You have a name of Aikon?
00:03:51.500 Sorry, it's a different generation.
00:03:52.860 Aikon, Aikon, a different generation.
00:03:54.580 Aikon had a track.
00:03:55.840 It was called,
00:03:56.380 it was called Put the Blame on Me.
00:03:58.100 Why?
00:03:58.400 Because he went to a club.
00:03:59.820 There was a,
00:04:00.400 I think, an 11 or 12-year-old girl
00:04:01.940 that was fully matured.
00:04:04.100 Yeah, no, I understand.
00:04:04.920 So, what I'm saying is,
00:04:07.040 you can't take a nine-year-old today
00:04:08.800 and a nine-year-old back then
00:04:10.120 and equate them
00:04:10.780 because the whole dynamic,
00:04:12.120 the climate and the time
00:04:13.100 was totally different.
00:04:14.920 See, this is what I'm saying.
00:04:16.100 You cannot take a nine-year-old.
00:04:16.960 Let me tell you something.
00:04:17.460 You can go to America,
00:04:18.200 and you can see 12-year-old girls.
00:04:21.000 They are so developed,
00:04:22.540 you will think this girl is 24 years old.
00:04:24.800 So, what I'm saying is the following,
00:04:26.480 that we look at the Prophet's character,
00:04:28.240 we look at his dynamics with Aisha,
00:04:30.040 how could Aisha be coerced
00:04:31.600 and be so jealous of the Prophet?
00:04:33.560 Why does she have that romantic relationship with him?
00:04:35.700 Like, she was jealous,
00:04:36.400 they raced together,
00:04:37.520 the Prophet peace be upon him,
00:04:38.980 and they would drink from the same cup.
00:04:40.580 She never once, ever, contested.
00:04:43.580 It could be like just because she's a young girl,
00:04:45.540 but you know what I mean.
00:04:46.500 It could be like anything,
00:04:47.520 in any relationship,
00:04:48.480 people can go by whatever they say,
00:04:50.380 you really want to love someone.
00:04:51.920 To, to, to, to, okay, look.
00:04:53.460 There is, we have,
00:04:54.340 for example,
00:04:54.700 in our Islamic Hadith literature,
00:04:56.220 narrations,
00:04:57.020 there are so many things
00:04:58.160 Aisha talks about.
00:04:59.120 Yeah.
00:04:59.360 She talks about,
00:05:00.260 for example,
00:05:00.980 when she got angry
00:05:01.600 and she smashed the plate.
00:05:02.720 She talks about so many things
00:05:04.080 that happened between them,
00:05:05.160 between the Prophet.
00:05:06.180 She does not once ever mention
00:05:08.180 that I never wanted to marry him.
00:05:10.140 And not only that,
00:05:10.740 when he died,
00:05:11.960 she could have easily
00:05:12.760 go and get married again.
00:05:14.280 The thing is this,
00:05:15.120 just because we,
00:05:16.760 sorry?
00:05:17.440 She stayed a widow.
00:05:18.340 Yeah, she stayed a widow.
00:05:19.100 Not only that,
00:05:19.660 she, she is one of the biggest scholars in Islam.
00:05:21.920 Because of her young age,
00:05:23.000 you know Hadith literature,
00:05:24.100 we learn it from her
00:05:25.340 because she was so young in age.
00:05:27.040 But what I'm saying is the following.
00:05:27.920 We say the Prophet waited,
00:05:29.920 don't forget,
00:05:30.480 when was the marriage made?
00:05:31.340 At the age of six.
00:05:32.400 When was the marriage consummated?
00:05:33.500 At the age of nine.
00:05:34.420 If the Prophet Muhammad
00:05:35.460 had that inclination,
00:05:36.580 why did he wait three years?
00:05:37.960 For what?
00:05:39.860 For her to become an adult.
00:05:41.320 He waited,
00:05:41.920 because otherwise,
00:05:42.480 if he had that inclination,
00:05:43.900 an individual who has
00:05:44.760 periphanic inclinations,
00:05:46.100 he doesn't say,
00:05:46.660 oh, how old are you?
00:05:47.160 Six.
00:05:47.560 I'm going to come back
00:05:48.240 when you're nine.
00:05:48.960 Oh, how old are you?
00:05:49.520 Seven.
00:05:49.820 I'm going to come back
00:05:50.340 when you're ten.
00:05:51.260 Why did he wait three years
00:05:52.600 for her to mature
00:05:54.220 and become an adult?
00:05:56.720 That's what we expect.
00:05:57.920 And there is nothing...
00:05:58.880 I completely understand the point.
00:05:59.900 Yeah, yeah.
00:06:00.620 And, yeah.
00:06:01.280 Especially now,
00:06:02.520 like...
00:06:03.260 Oh, Islamically.
00:06:05.900 So what does Islam say about today?
00:06:07.940 Like, is that...
00:06:08.480 Like, basically,
00:06:09.200 does that apply?
00:06:09.780 Is that what you mean?
00:06:10.300 Yeah.
00:06:10.680 Okay, let me make it simple.
00:06:11.940 Nowhere in our religion,
00:06:13.000 sister, does it say
00:06:13.680 that we have to marry
00:06:14.960 a six-year-old
00:06:16.240 or a nine-year-old.
00:06:16.940 We use that model.
00:06:18.560 Let me tell you how.
00:06:19.200 But you shouldn't condemn that
00:06:20.160 as a prophet.
00:06:21.020 No, no, no.
00:06:21.420 We don't condemn it.
00:06:22.000 We condone it.
00:06:23.060 How?
00:06:23.660 Let me explain.
00:06:24.800 For example,
00:06:25.500 the prophet's marriage
00:06:26.340 did a contract at six.
00:06:27.620 He married at nine.
00:06:29.260 Okay, good.
00:06:30.000 So if I have a son...
00:06:30.780 Didn't they do...
00:06:31.640 I'm sorry.
00:06:32.180 I'm not sure about it.
00:06:33.380 But I don't know
00:06:34.680 what it is in Arabic,
00:06:35.660 but sighing,
00:06:37.100 where instead of...
00:06:38.100 Say it again.
00:06:38.800 Sighing,
00:06:39.340 instead of...
00:06:40.180 What's that?
00:06:40.600 ...having sex with her,
00:06:42.280 he was...
00:06:43.100 between her thighs
00:06:45.100 No, no, no.
00:06:47.340 I don't...
00:06:48.100 I don't...
00:06:48.520 I don't...
00:06:48.820 I've never heard of that.
00:06:50.620 So, yeah.
00:06:51.300 So the thing is this.
00:06:52.340 We say in Islam
00:06:53.160 that, for example,
00:06:55.300 if she's the age of,
00:06:56.800 for example,
00:06:57.260 if my son...
00:06:58.040 If my son is 17 years old
00:07:00.000 and he meets a girl
00:07:01.920 who is 15,
00:07:03.320 what's the legal age
00:07:04.120 in this country?
00:07:05.360 Good.
00:07:06.260 I will look at
00:07:06.960 the prophet's example,
00:07:08.280 the fact that he waited
00:07:09.100 for Aisha to become an adult.
00:07:10.680 I will tell my son,
00:07:11.700 we follow the same example,
00:07:13.140 you have to wait
00:07:13.780 for her to become 16.
00:07:15.100 So we use the same model.
00:07:16.660 Nowhere in Islam
00:07:17.260 does it say you have...
00:07:17.940 He's still married to her
00:07:18.520 at the age of 16.
00:07:18.960 Is that not child marriage?
00:07:20.860 No, because we say
00:07:21.660 she become an adult
00:07:22.340 at the age of nine.
00:07:23.380 No, at the age of six
00:07:24.160 when they got married.
00:07:25.040 No, no, no.
00:07:25.600 Okay, so...
00:07:26.760 So he married...
00:07:27.220 Conventionally in the UK,
00:07:28.900 when we talk about marriage,
00:07:29.800 it means sex.
00:07:30.560 Well, actually,
00:07:31.280 people have sex before marriage.
00:07:32.560 Okay, in Islam it's different.
00:07:33.880 Having a marital contract
00:07:34.920 and consummating marriage
00:07:35.740 is different.
00:07:36.380 So a contract can be made
00:07:37.580 between two individuals
00:07:38.420 and then two years later
00:07:40.260 that individual can say
00:07:40.960 I changed my mind
00:07:41.740 and that marriage is broken.
00:07:43.640 The consummation happens
00:07:44.720 when she becomes an adult.
00:07:46.180 Do you get it?
00:07:46.940 That's why the prophet
00:07:47.600 waited for her
00:07:48.140 to become an adult
00:07:48.800 at the age of nine.
00:07:50.640 And that's why
00:07:51.220 we follow the example.
00:07:53.100 So if you were to have a daughter...
00:07:54.720 If I had a daughter
00:07:55.320 and let's say she is,
00:07:56.220 for example, 12
00:07:56.960 and I have a 16-year-old boy
00:07:59.480 who comes and says to me...
00:08:00.320 Oh, oh, 56-year-old man.
00:08:02.640 Okay, no problem.
00:08:04.160 So for example,
00:08:04.760 if I have a 50-year-old man
00:08:06.120 who comes and asks
00:08:07.260 my daughter's hand,
00:08:08.180 I would go to my daughter
00:08:09.400 and ask her,
00:08:11.060 for example,
00:08:12.800 which is a common question.
00:08:13.980 My daughter is not going
00:08:15.360 to want to marry
00:08:16.080 a 50-year-old man.
00:08:17.980 That's my daughter.
00:08:18.960 And again,
00:08:19.560 we did have that instance.
00:08:20.800 There was a situation
00:08:21.540 where there was a 50-year-old guy
00:08:22.580 who married a 16-year-old.
00:08:23.500 Again, if we believe...
00:08:25.000 Do you believe
00:08:25.440 a 50-year-old man
00:08:26.260 can marry a 16-year-old?
00:08:28.180 Why not?
00:08:29.740 On what basis is that wrong?
00:08:31.160 For example,
00:08:31.720 if a 50-year-old man
00:08:32.720 came and said
00:08:34.020 he wants to date you
00:08:35.780 or marry you...
00:08:36.820 Okay, why?
00:08:37.400 Okay, I'm just trying to understand.
00:08:38.440 Isn't the legal age 16?
00:08:40.820 Okay, so why...
00:08:41.820 I'm just curious.
00:08:43.400 Okay, on what basis
00:08:46.280 are you saying
00:08:47.720 that it's not normal?
00:08:49.600 Sorry.
00:08:50.420 Okay, sorry, sorry.
00:08:51.800 So, 50-year-old
00:08:52.820 wants to date a 16-year-old.
00:08:55.120 Is there anything wrong
00:08:56.040 with that
00:08:56.260 according to the Western world?
00:08:57.660 Values?
00:08:58.120 No, there isn't.
00:08:58.820 Really?
00:08:59.240 No, okay.
00:09:00.340 Legally, is it...
00:09:01.220 Legally, it's not.
00:09:02.360 Good.
00:09:02.780 Okay, so what I'm saying is...
00:09:04.060 Do you not think that is wrong?
00:09:05.160 Okay, then if it's morally wrong,
00:09:06.520 why is the illegal age 16?
00:09:08.980 I don't know.
00:09:10.220 So, which means
00:09:10.940 that if they morally saw it wrong,
00:09:12.360 they would not allow it.
00:09:13.880 Yeah.
00:09:14.240 So, what I'm saying,
00:09:14.800 what about an 18-year-old
00:09:15.620 and a 50-year-old?
00:09:18.000 Is it right or wrong?
00:09:19.280 No.
00:09:19.800 Wrong.
00:09:20.360 But this is subjective.
00:09:21.660 What we're just saying is the following.
00:09:22.620 It's 9.
00:09:23.620 I don't get how
00:09:24.680 he can marry
00:09:26.160 someone who's 60-year-old.
00:09:27.500 No, no, no.
00:09:27.940 But what we're saying is this, sister.
00:09:28.960 You're looking at...
00:09:29.620 Again, you're looking at dynamics today.
00:09:31.480 For you, maybe a 50-year-old,
00:09:32.680 a 50-year-old, 53-year-old
00:09:33.960 is an old, grumpy man.
00:09:37.100 But I'm telling you,
00:09:38.440 men back then
00:09:39.260 and how they were,
00:09:40.740 it's not...
00:09:41.100 We're looking at the two dynamics,
00:09:42.840 which is today's time
00:09:43.980 and we're comparing it back then.
00:09:45.280 Yeah, but...
00:09:46.600 If you put faith in a book,
00:09:49.480 should it not be a book
00:09:50.300 that is...
00:09:50.780 But all the time...
00:09:52.260 No, no.
00:09:52.940 But it is.
00:09:53.520 We follow that example.
00:09:54.420 Remember I told you,
00:09:55.020 if my daughter's 12
00:09:55.740 and a 16-year-old boy
00:09:57.060 was to come and ask for a hand...
00:09:58.700 Well, it was like
00:09:59.340 in the proper case
00:10:00.220 where she was 6.
00:10:01.280 Yes.
00:10:01.540 And...
00:10:01.940 But we apply the same thing.
00:10:04.880 The fact that he waited
00:10:05.600 three years for her
00:10:06.320 to become an adult,
00:10:07.340 we apply that to today's time
00:10:08.660 and say,
00:10:09.360 my daughter will have to
00:10:10.240 become the age of 16
00:10:11.380 so that boy will have to
00:10:12.720 wait for her four years.
00:10:14.080 The prophet waited three years
00:10:15.260 for her to become an adult.
00:10:16.760 He will have to wait
00:10:17.380 four years for her
00:10:18.040 to become an adult.
00:10:18.600 But again,
00:10:21.700 based on...
00:10:22.320 Okay, based on what standards?
00:10:24.040 You're looking at
00:10:24.680 the Western world today.
00:10:25.460 You're looking at today.
00:10:26.120 You're looking at
00:10:26.500 a nine-year-old today.
00:10:27.460 We're saying
00:10:27.800 the analogy,
00:10:29.400 the example you have,
00:10:30.200 it doesn't equate
00:10:31.720 to what's going on back then
00:10:32.780 because the lifespan
00:10:33.780 is totally different.
00:10:34.540 A nine-year-old today
00:10:35.440 and a nine-year-old back then,
00:10:36.620 there were boys going to war
00:10:37.740 at the age of 12, 13.
00:10:39.180 Today, you've got
00:10:39.680 24-year-olds
00:10:40.660 playing PlayStation at home.
00:10:42.440 You can't...
00:10:42.920 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:10:43.480 You can't look at
00:10:44.000 a 16-year-old today
00:10:45.720 and back then.
00:10:46.560 So, but...
00:10:46.920 If we go to even Christianity,
00:10:48.320 the argument, for example,
00:10:49.860 in the book of Numbers,
00:10:51.260 not even Rebecca,
00:10:52.100 go to the book of Numbers,
00:10:53.320 it tells you that Jesus...
00:10:54.980 Thank you.
00:10:55.260 So, what I'm saying is
00:10:56.360 in a nutshell...
00:10:56.820 It's all right, sister.
00:10:57.680 So, in a nutshell,
00:10:58.520 what I'm saying is...
00:10:59.780 I don't...
00:11:00.100 I forgot my point.
00:11:02.540 Sorry.
00:11:03.100 Yeah, so...
00:11:03.660 In a nutshell, sister,
00:11:04.600 what we're saying is
00:11:05.140 that it's two different worlds
00:11:06.380 that was...
00:11:07.260 And not only that,
00:11:08.220 what we're saying is
00:11:08.800 not a single...
00:11:09.720 Oh, that was it.
00:11:10.420 In Christianity,
00:11:11.060 in the book of Numbers,
00:11:12.220 Jesus is a God
00:11:13.080 of the Old Testament.
00:11:14.200 He orders men
00:11:15.320 to go and kill women...
00:11:16.760 I mean, kill men,
00:11:18.160 women,
00:11:18.520 and any girl
00:11:19.180 that has not been touched
00:11:20.000 by men,
00:11:20.400 who's a virgin,
00:11:21.240 keep them for yourself.
00:11:22.280 So, if we're going to
00:11:22.960 reject the Prophet Muhammad
00:11:23.760 based on this premise,
00:11:25.240 then we'll have to reject
00:11:26.040 the God of the Old Testament,
00:11:27.300 the Christianity,
00:11:28.840 based on that.
00:11:29.360 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:11:30.220 If we were to use
00:11:30.980 the same standards...
00:11:32.540 Who's going to say
00:11:33.020 the Prophet Muhammad
00:11:33.540 cannot be a true prophet
00:11:34.340 because he married Aisha at night?
00:11:35.560 No, I'm not saying that.
00:11:36.140 Yeah, yeah.
00:11:36.480 If we use that,
00:11:37.180 then Christianity,
00:11:38.240 God stipulated
00:11:38.900 taking little girls
00:11:39.680 for yourself.
00:11:40.680 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:11:41.500 But believe me...
00:11:42.200 Look, sister,
00:11:42.960 the Prophet...
00:11:43.780 Look, trust me.
00:11:45.240 How you feel,
00:11:45.920 I know what you're saying.
00:11:46.940 And I thought about this...
00:11:47.940 Yeah, yeah.
00:11:48.180 I told you, I understand.
00:11:48.860 Before I came to Islam,
00:11:49.920 I had the same concerns.
00:11:53.760 who the Prophet was.
00:11:55.220 He married a woman
00:11:55.860 who was 70 years old.
00:11:57.680 Yeah, but...
00:11:58.620 He could still marry a child.
00:12:00.360 He could still have
00:12:00.880 sexual attraction
00:12:01.500 to a young person.
00:12:02.700 If he did that,
00:12:03.580 then why was his only wife...
00:12:04.980 One of his wife
00:12:05.540 was the only one
00:12:06.000 that Aisha was nine.
00:12:07.000 Why was other wives
00:12:07.740 above one was old, 70?
00:12:09.620 All of them were widows
00:12:10.320 and divorces.
00:12:10.920 If he had that inclination,
00:12:12.400 why was only one of his wives?
00:12:14.140 And not only that,
00:12:14.660 why did he have to be a wife?
00:12:15.940 He could have just done
00:12:16.620 what he wanted with her
00:12:17.680 because he could say,
00:12:18.560 I'm a Prophet.
00:12:19.420 He didn't.
00:12:20.140 So which shows
00:12:20.760 that his character
00:12:21.480 in question, sister,
00:12:22.540 is not what we think he is
00:12:23.580 because we have
00:12:24.200 white middle-aged men
00:12:25.340 who are doing paedophilia
00:12:26.760 and go to his countries,
00:12:28.260 there is no way
00:12:29.140 we can equate that
00:12:29.880 to the Prophet Muhammad
00:12:30.500 because his character
00:12:31.300 and who he was
00:12:31.980 and his mission
00:12:32.900 that he came with
00:12:33.460 and how truthful he was,
00:12:34.680 we look at that,
00:12:35.380 we look at his life
00:12:36.100 and his marriage with Aisha,
00:12:37.420 there's not a single narration
00:12:39.040 that Aisha says,
00:12:40.640 he coerced me,
00:12:41.680 he forced me.
00:12:42.480 Rather, she was jealous.
00:12:44.060 She would race with him.
00:12:45.480 She would speak about good stuff.
00:12:46.860 So the thing is...
00:12:47.420 But can that not be
00:12:48.260 because obviously
00:12:48.800 she's a young girl
00:12:49.980 and you can be easily manipulated?
00:12:51.900 That's true,
00:12:52.520 it could have been.
00:12:52.940 But if that's the case,
00:12:53.780 why did it not ever come out
00:12:55.040 even when he died?
00:12:55.900 She could have said,
00:12:56.380 you know what,
00:12:56.780 all this time I stayed,
00:12:57.740 she stayed a widow
00:12:58.260 for the rest of us.
00:12:59.160 She died a widow.
00:13:00.980 It's not an impossibility.
00:13:02.300 What we're saying is don't...
00:13:03.360 Just all I'm saying is one thing.
00:13:04.660 Don't look at a nine-year-old today
00:13:05.900 and a nine-year-old back then.
00:13:07.080 If you do that,
00:13:07.720 it's problematic.
00:13:08.240 I'll be honest with you,
00:13:08.800 even for me,
00:13:09.560 if I look at a nine-year-old,
00:13:10.620 I have a daughter, seven,
00:13:11.860 and I'm thinking of two years later,
00:13:13.360 it would be problematic.
00:13:14.140 But I know a nine-year-old Aisha
00:13:15.940 is not the nine-year-old today.
00:13:17.560 Believe me,
00:13:18.360 it's not.
00:13:19.620 So like,
00:13:20.240 when you mean,
00:13:20.680 sorry,
00:13:20.980 I'm...
00:13:21.600 No, no, please, please.
00:13:22.300 When you mean,
00:13:22.820 like, not a nine-year-old,
00:13:23.640 do you mean, like,
00:13:24.400 she was like...
00:13:26.700 She was an adult.
00:13:27.580 No, no,
00:13:27.840 she was an adult.
00:13:28.460 Look,
00:13:29.380 like I said before,
00:13:30.220 you can,
00:13:30.580 you will have 12-year-olds,
00:13:32.140 12-year-olds,
00:13:32.960 that are fully...
00:13:34.480 I'm going to tell you something.
00:13:35.120 They are more developed
00:13:36.220 than certain women.
00:13:37.080 Yeah.
00:13:37.400 So I'm saying the following,
00:13:38.680 but is she not under the legal age?
00:13:41.020 Do we not have a...
00:13:41.920 Do you not know that
00:13:42.480 would still hurt the girl,
00:13:44.980 like...
00:13:45.700 I'm not talking about...
00:13:46.460 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:47.120 What I'm saying is this.
00:13:47.960 If that was the case,
00:13:48.920 the prophet would never marry her at nine.
00:13:50.680 The fact that he waited three years
00:13:52.260 means that she was sexually,
00:13:54.160 mentally,
00:13:54.440 and physically
00:13:54.960 ready to be married.
00:13:56.740 At the age of nine.
00:13:57.400 At the age of nine.
00:13:58.360 But the reason you're saying that
00:13:59.520 is because you're looking
00:14:00.180 at a nine-year-old today.
00:14:02.200 That's where the issues are.
00:14:04.320 They're not the same.
00:14:05.840 No, it's fine.
00:14:06.340 Sister, you cannot have a...
00:14:07.080 Look,
00:14:07.300 you cannot have a nine-year-old today
00:14:08.580 and compare them to a nine-year-old
00:14:10.120 1,400 years ago.
00:14:11.460 Do you know what 1,400 years means?
00:14:13.780 1,400 years.
00:14:14.980 How old are you?
00:14:15.600 16?
00:14:16.660 16 years ago,
00:14:17.340 you wasn't here.
00:14:17.760 I'm talking 1,400 years ago.
00:14:19.320 The dynamics are totally different.
00:14:21.160 Totally different.
00:14:21.560 Let me tell you something.
00:14:22.020 That's the reason why
00:14:22.740 not a single person in history
00:14:25.380 ever contested the prophethood
00:14:28.300 because of this.
00:14:29.380 Not one person in history,
00:14:31.020 Christians, Jews, Hindus,
00:14:32.700 never came with this.
00:14:33.580 You know why?
00:14:34.080 Because that was the absolute norms
00:14:35.360 of society,
00:14:36.100 of marrying...
00:14:36.980 Because they were adults.
00:14:37.740 Yeah, no, I get it.
00:14:38.480 It's normal back then, but...
00:14:40.100 No, no, no.
00:14:40.420 But they were adults.
00:14:40.980 It's not that normal back then.
00:14:41.900 They were adults.
00:14:42.700 You know how you see a 16...
00:14:43.700 Are you a 16...
00:14:44.700 Are you an adult?
00:14:47.800 You are.
00:14:48.460 Well, you're a teenager,
00:14:49.360 but boy, you're an adult.
00:14:50.260 So the thing is this, look.
00:14:51.140 Just as we see you
00:14:53.200 as a 16-year-old adult,
00:14:55.040 that was the norm then.
00:14:56.300 Would anybody come and say,
00:14:57.100 oh my gosh,
00:14:57.720 why has she got a boyfriend?
00:14:59.120 People would be like,
00:14:59.560 no, she's at an illegal age.
00:15:01.440 The same thing applied then.
00:15:02.940 If it didn't,
00:15:03.560 you would have mass people
00:15:04.740 speaking against it.
00:15:06.600 Saying to the prophet,
00:15:07.200 why are you marrying a child?
00:15:08.700 Not a single narration.
00:15:12.280 That's for my episode.
00:15:13.020 That's fine.
00:15:13.240 Yeah, no, I'm sorry.
00:15:14.520 Thank you, sir.
00:15:14.900 Do you have a Quran?
00:15:16.320 Can I give you one?
00:15:17.200 Yeah, I don't know.
00:15:17.760 Yeah, thank you, sir, yes.
00:15:19.380 Thank you very much, sir.
00:15:20.100 Do you have any other questions?
00:15:21.520 Thank you, sir.
00:15:22.020 Can I have a mic?
00:15:22.780 Thank you for your time.
