Aisha received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on July 13, 2017.

The Aisha Age Controversy[edit]

A lot has been said about Aisha's age when marrying the Prophet Muhammad, Whether she was 6, 9, or 16, when she was first betrothed and married. Prophet Michael, God's Disciple (talk) 01:23, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. And your point is ...? Hopefully you can make a point that is relevant to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:53, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My point is, it could make a interesting topic for a wikipedia page. Considering the fact that it's one of the most common criticisms of Muhammad. 2601:C5:100:11:3476:8E75:5EA0:2C3E (talk) 02:55, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Go right ahead, be WP:BOLD and go to WP:AFC, and follow the instructions to start working on a draft. If the topic of the "age controversy" is notable, there should be multiple reliable sources discussing it (not debating her age, but actually reporting on the controversy). ~Anachronist (talk) 03:33, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source for aidha birthdate[edit]

i don't see any sources for aisha being born in 614 in the article 197.48.252.182 (talk) 07:59, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See the first sentence in the section titled "Early life". There are two sources cited. ~Anachronist (talk) 08:06, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's because it's fake. If you read Sunna you'll find this tradition Arabs had where they started counting their age after puberty(some examples would be like in the seera where Ali was 10 approximately during hijra which is relatively impossible -because he was close to this age when Muhammad first got the revelation-, same goes for a sahabi that said he used to lead prayer when he was 7yo).

Another point is the fact that Aisha was 10 years younger than her sister Asma who was 27 during hijra, making Aisha's age 17 at hijra and 18-19 the following year when she consummated the marriage. 77.205.21.218 (talk) 11:46, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Real Age Range[edit]

This is fake.

Please can you provide references to reliable secondary sources that support what you say. Wikipedia is not interested in editors' interpretation of primary sources.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:40, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
