Abstract

This research addresses and analyzes the topic of the Prophet's marriage to Ummul Momineen Hazrat Ayesha (May Allah be pleased with her). Various doubts have been cast over this marriage of the Holy Prophet (SAWW) by the Orientalist scholars. However, no act of the Prophet (SAWW) has been devoid of edification and instruction of the Muslims for all times to come. His words, conduct and Seerah are a permanent valid source of guidance for all humanity. This article aims to bring forth the stance of Islamic scholars - both ancient and contemporary - on this subject. In the first section, the main themes of criticism (by the non-believers) on this holy union have been summed up. The next section discusses how the Muslim scholars of contemporary age and of antiquity have responded to these allegations.
