Ali Dawah - GIRL QUESTIONS AISHA MARRIAGE TO PROPHET PBUH - SPEAKERS CORNER

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. 0.98

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, 0.85

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. 0.93

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. 0.97

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, 0.85

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, 0.84

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, 0.80

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, 1.00

00:03:10.900 argument's sake, there was an attractive woman next to him, 0.98

00:03:13.820 she would have this extreme jealousy. 0.98

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. 1.00

00:03:21.860 Why?

00:03:22.120 Because the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, 0.98

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. 1.00

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? 0.98

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. 0.96

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. 0.96

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 1.00

00:04:31.600 and be so jealous of the Prophet?

00:04:33.560 Why does she have that romantic relationship with him? 1.00

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. 1.00

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. 0.98

00:05:18.340 Yeah, she stayed a widow. 0.95

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 0.99

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. 0.99

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? 0.99

00:06:40.600 ...having sex with her, 0.99

00:06:42.280 he was... 1.00

00:06:43.100 between her thighs 1.00

00:06:45.100 No, no, no. 0.82

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 1.00

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? 0.95

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. 0.87

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 0.88

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 0.87

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. 0.99

00:10:14.080 The prophet waited three years 0.73

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, 0.99

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 1.00

00:11:15.320 to go and kill women... 1.00

00:11:16.760 I mean, kill men, 1.00

00:11:18.160 women, 1.00

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 1.00

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, 0.78

00:11:38.240 God stipulated

00:11:38.900 taking little girls 0.95

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... 1.00

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 1.00

00:12:07.740 above one was old, 70?

00:12:09.620 All of them were widows 1.00

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? 0.99

00:12:14.140 And not only that,

00:12:14.660 why did he have to be a wife? 1.00

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 0.99

00:12:25.340 who are doing paedophilia 0.98

00:12:26.760 and go to his countries, 0.76

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 0.98

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. 0.99

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... 1.00

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... 0.67

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? 0.99

00:14:59.120 People would be like,

00:14:59.560 no, she's at an illegal age. 0.95

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?
