"EVERYBODY DRAW MOHAMMAD AS THE HUSBAND OF A 9-YEAR OLD GIRL DAY" ANNOUNCED!

 

 

 

 

The Muslim Prophet Mohammad. What can be confirmed about this sole messenger of Allah and the founder of Islam? Businessman? Probably. Messenger and prophet of Allah? Yes, according to him and him alone. Husband of a 9-year old girl? Most Definitely.

How can we be so sure about that? The Sahih Bukhari Hadith (and other Sahih Hadith) makes the fact that his bride was 9 quite clear, in fact in her own words:

 

Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 5.234        Narrated byAisha

The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down.

Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage).

Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.

 

Mind you, these Sahih Hadith are considered absolutely authentic sources for understanding the things that Mohammad said and did.

Mohammad is considered the most beautiful example of conduct for Muslims - al-insan, al-kamil, the perfect man; and it is important to understand that his example, even though he lived nearly 1,400 years ago, is still followed widely in the Muslim world in the 21st century.

Yes, Mohammad, aged 54, married 9-year old Aisha (Actually, Mohammad "engaged," or "married" her when she was 6, but to demonstrate how decent he was and how much he loved little children, he didn't consumate the marriage until she was 9. In truth, he found her unattractive with no hair, and wouldn't touch her until it grew back...see above)!

So come on Ibrahim, Asad, Faisal and Mahmoudl! It's time to let your "perfect man" hang out in all his glory and show the world how proud you are to emulate him!!

Don't be bashful and hide your prophet's ways, he wanted to be the #1 man on earth, so let him take the spotlight!

 

 

In order to help shine the flattering light of peace, grandeur and love upon him, and particularly upon one of the subjects he was so very fond of - being the husband of a 9-year old girl, we've decided to announce the First Annual "Everybody Draw Mohammad as The Husband of a 9-Year old Girl" Day!"
