When Hazrat Khaulah (ra) requested the Holy Prophet (sa) about this, the Holy Prophet (sa) replied, saying that they have been brothers solely in religion, thus there was no hindrance if the proposal have been to be accepted. After deliberation, Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) agreed and requested Hazrat Khaulah (ra) to convey the acceptance of the proposal to the Holy Prophet (sa).

Age of Hazrat A’ishah (ra) on the Time of Marriage
His Holiness (aba) stated that there are various various opinions concerning the age of Hazrat A’ishah (ra) on the time of her marriage. Many increase allegations about this as nicely. As a matter of precept, there was nothing out of the unusual that came about, in any other case, the opponents on the time will surely have raised objections. Nevertheless, no such objection is present in historic accounts. As for situations the place Hazrat A’ishah’s (ra) age has been recorded as being youthful, the Decide and Simply Arbiter of this age, the Promised Messiah (as) has said that these unfounded claims. The Promised Messiah (as) said that neither the Qur’an nor the Hadith substantiate the age of Hazrat A’ishah (ra) being 9 years outdated on the time of her marriage.
His Holiness (aba) quoted Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad (ra) who writes on the matter:
‘After the demise of Hazrat Khadijah (ra), the Holy Prophet (sa) was tied in a bond of matrimony to A’ishah Siddiqah (ra). This was in 10 Nabawi in the course of the month of Shawwal. On the time, Hazrat A’ishah (ra) was seven years of age. Nevertheless, even on the time, plainly her development and growth had matured remarkably nicely; in any other case, there was no cause for Khaulah bint Hakim (ra), who had advised this marriage, to contemplate her as being an appropriate match for the Holy Prophet (sa). In any case, she had not absolutely matured till then, and because of this, though the Nikah had taken place, the Rukhsatanah was but to happen and thus, in line with native customized, she continued to reside along with her dad and mom. Nevertheless, now, within the second yr of Hijrah, after 5 years had elapsed for the reason that announcement of her marriage she had absolutely matured on the age of twelve. As such, it was Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) himself who approached the Holy Prophet (sa) and requested for the Rukhsatanah to happen. Upon this, the Holy Prophet (sa) organized for the dowry to be paid (in that period it was customary for the dowry to be paid in money) and within the month of Shawwal 2 A.H., Hazrat A’ishah (ra) bid the house of her dad and mom farewell and entered the family of the Holy Prophet (sa)’ (The Life & Character of the Seal of Prophets (sa), Vol. 2, pp. 237-238)
Virtues of Hazrat A’ishah (ra)
His Holiness (aba) additional quoted Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad (ra):
‘Regardless of her younger age, the intelligence and reminiscence of Hazrat A’ishah (ra) was completely outstanding, and underneath the training and coaching of the Holy Prophet (sa) she developed astonishingly at a most extraordinary tempo. Really, this was the very function of the Holy Prophet (sa) in bringing her to his dwelling at such a younger age; in order that he might prepare her from a young age in line with his needs, and he or she might obtain the longest doable alternative to stay in his firm; in order that she may very well be made match for the delicate and sumptuous work which fell upon the spouse of a law-giving Prophet. As such, the Holy Prophet (sa) succeeded on this function and Hazrat A’ishah (ra) rendered such service within the reformation, training and coaching of the Muslim girls, as is unparalleled within the historical past of the world. A really giant and good portion of the Ahadith of the Holy Prophet (sa) is predicated on the narrations of Hazrat A’ishah (ra). As a matter of truth, the variety of her narrations alone attain a grand complete of two,210. The extent of her information, knowledge and deep understanding of faith was such that essentially the most eminent companions accepted her as an authority and would profit from her grace. It’s even associated in narrations that after the Holy Prophet (sa), the companions weren’t confronted with a single scholarly concern, for which Hazrat A’ishah (ra) didn’t have a solution. There’s a assertion of ‘Urwah bin Zubair (ra) on file that:
“In information of the Holy Qur’an, in information of the legislation of inheritance, in information of lawful and illegal issues, within the science of jurisprudence, in poetry, in medication, in information of the narrations of Arabia, and within the science of family tree, I’ve not seen a higher scholar than A’ishah (ra).”
In advantage and contentment, she possessed such a terrific standing that on one event, she occurred to obtain a sum of 100,000 dirhams from someplace, and earlier than sundown, she had distributed everything of it in charity, although she didn’t have something to eat for that night in her own residence. It was attributable to these very praiseworthy attributes, which had begun to point out their splendour even within the period of the Holy Prophet (sa), that she was held particularly expensive by the Holy Prophet (sa). At occasions, he would say, “From amongst all of the folks, A’ishah (ra) is most beloved to me.” At one other occasion, the Holy Prophet (sa) stated, “There have been many glorious fashions amongst males, however only a few among the many girls.” Then the Holy Prophet (sa) named Asiyah, the spouse of Pharaoh and Mary, the daughter of ‘Imrān, then he continued by saying, “‘A’ishah (ra) possesses such superiority over the ladies, as Tharid, which is among the many finest meals of Arabia, possesses over different meals.” On one event, among the different Azwaj-e- Mutahharat complained to the Holy Prophet (sa) about Hazrat A’ishah (ra), however he remained silent. Nevertheless, when his wives continued, the Holy Prophet (sa) stated, “What shall I do with these complaints? All that I’m conscious of is that I don’t obtain revelation from my God within the quilt of every other spouse, however I typically obtain this revelation within the quilt of A’ishah (ra)”. Goodness gracious! How holy was the spouse who was endowed with this distinction, and the way holy was the husband whose standards for home love was nothing aside from sanctity and purity!!’ (The Life & Character of the Seal of Prophets (sa), Vol. 2, pp. 247-249)

Incident of Hazrat Zainab (ra)

Her husband, Abu al-Aas bin Rabi’ was captured by the Muslims on the event of the Battle of Badr. Hazrat Zainab (ra) despatched a necklace which had been given to her by Hazrat Khadijah (ra). Upon seeing the necklace, the Holy Prophet (sa) had tears in his eyes. He stated to the Companions that in the event that they agreed, they need to free Abu al-Aas and likewise return the necklace, which they did. Nevertheless, he was freed on the situation that he would enable her spouse emigrate to Madinah. When the Quraish realized that Hazrat Zainab (ra) was leaving, they set out after her and located her in Dhi Tuwa. One in every of them approached her and scared her camel and frightened it, inflicting Hazrat Zainab (ra) to fall, and being pregnant on the time, she misplaced the kid.

It’s recorded that thereafter, Hazrat Zainab (ra) remained in Makkah for a number of days, after which Hazrat Zaid (ra), who was despatched by the Holy Prophet (sa) to Makkah, helped Hazrat Zainab (ra) depart Makkah at night time.
Injustices Perpetrated Towards Palestinian & Israeli Civilians
His Holiness (aba) stated:
‘Presently, I wish to make an attraction for prayers, referring to the circumstances of the world as we speak. Over the previous few days, the battle between Hamas and Israel has been ongoing, attributable to which residents on each side, together with girls, kids and the aged, are being killed with out distinction, or have already been killed.
Even in occasions of battle, Islam doesn’t allow the killing of girls, kids, or anybody not taking part within the battle in any manner. That is one thing which the Holy Prophet (sa) gave steerage on in very robust phrases.
The world is saying, and sure proof additionally reveals, that Hamas initiated this battle and is responsible of killing Israeli residents indiscriminately. Even though the Israeli military has killed many harmless Palestinians, Muslims, in any case, should act in line with the teachings of Islam. Israel is liable for no matter its military has accomplished, and there are various other ways of reaching a decision. If a battle is warranted, then it may be fought between armies, not with girls, kids and the harmless.
On this manner, the actions of Hamas have been incorrect. That they had extra destructive penalties than constructive ones. No matter came about and its penalties ought to have remained restricted to Hamas; this might have been true bravery and valour.
Nevertheless, now the actions being taken by the Israeli authorities are additionally very harmful. It appears as if there is no such thing as a finish to this case. The innumerable quantity of harmless lives of girls and kids that shall be misplaced is unfathomable. The Israeli authorities claimed that they might utterly get rid of Gaza, to which finish they dropped many bombs. They’ve diminished town to ashes.
The most recent circumstances are that they’ve stated greater than 1,000,000 folks ought to depart Gaza, and a few have certainly began leaving. Fortunately, as feeble as it could be, the UN has raised its voice to a point, saying that this might be a violation of human rights and it could be incorrect, resulting in many difficulties. As such, Israel ought to rethink this order. Quite than firmly saying that that is incorrect, [the UN] is merely making a request.
In any case, the harmless who are usually not partaking within the battle are usually not at fault in any respect. If the world considers Israeli girls, kids and unusual residents to be harmless, then the Palestinians are additionally simply as harmless.
The teachings of those Folks of the E-book additionally say that such killings are unimaginable. Whether it is alleged that the Muslims have been incorrect, then these folks also needs to look to themselves.
In any case, we should pray a terrific deal.
The Palestinian Ambassador [to the UK] gave a tv interview right here to the BBC, and in response to a query, stated that Hamas is a militant group, not a authorities, and it has no connection to the Palestinian authorities. On the similar time, he raised the query, and rightfully so, that if true justice have been to be established, then such issues wouldn’t transpire; if main powers didn’t have double requirements, then such restlessness and warfare on the planet might by no means occur. Therefore, if these double requirements have been eradicated, then such warfare could be eradicated.
These are the very issues which I’ve been stating in gentle of Islam’s teachings for fairly a while. Within the second folks agree, nevertheless, they don’t seem to be ready to behave accordingly.
Now, all the key powers, or Western powers, have put justice apart and are uniting to inflict cruelty upon Palestinians and there may be discuss of armies being despatched from all instructions. Photographs of the oppressed are proven to depict the injustices being perpetrated and false studies are proven within the media. At some point, there shall be information concerning the situation of Israeli girls and kids and their dire circumstances. The subsequent day, it seems that they weren’t Israelis however, in reality, Palestinians. But the media doesn’t take any accountability for this, and there may be sympathy expressed for them. These folks merely comply with whoever has energy. They may bend earlier than anybody who has worldly means.
Upon evaluation, it could appear that the key powers are bent on fanning the flames of battle, moderately than placing them out; they don’t want to finish warfare. After the First World Warfare, the key powers created the League of Nations with the intention to carry an finish to wars. Nevertheless, attributable to not fulfilling the calls for of justice, and in striving to keep up its personal dominance, it failed. Then, the Second World Warfare came about, and it’s stated that greater than 70 million lives have been misplaced. The identical is going on now with the UN. It was created to determine justice on the planet, help the oppressed and to attempt to carry an finish to wars. Nevertheless, these are all removed from being actuality. Everybody is solely involved with their very own pursuits.
The common particular person can’t even fathom the dangerous penalties of the battle that may consequence from these injustices; nevertheless, all the key powers are nicely conscious of the grave penalties. But, regardless of this, there is no such thing as a consideration given in direction of establishing justice. Nobody is even ready to concentrate to this.
In such circumstances, Muslim nations, on the very least, ought to come to their senses. They need to get rid of their variations and set up unity. If Allah the Almighty has commanded Muslims to raised their relationships with the Folks of the E-book by saying:
تَعَالَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ كَلِمَةٖ سَوَآءِۭ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ
“Come to a phrase equal between us and also you” (The Holy Qur’an, 3:65)
referring to God, then why is it that Muslims – who all have the identical creed – can’t put apart their variations and unite? They need to ponder, and set up unity. This will turn out to be the technique of eradicating dysfunction from the world. They need to unite and lift a convincing voice for the fulfilment of the necessities of justice and fulfilling the rights of the oppressed, wherever they could be. In the event that they unite as one, then there will even be energy behind their voice. In any other case, these Muslim governments shall be liable for the lack of harmless Muslim lives. These powers ought to all the time bear in mind the steerage of the Holy Prophet (sa), that each the oppressors and the oppressed have to be helped. This essential level have to be understood.
Might Allah the Almighty grant Muslim governments cause and understanding and allow them to unite and set up justice. Might He grant cause and understanding to the world’s powers in order that moderately than main the world to destruction, they attempt to save the world from destruction. Might their function not be to fulfill their egos. They need to all the time do not forget that when destruction comes, their very own powers is not going to be secure.
In any case, all we now have is the weapon of prayer, which each Ahmadi ought to use now, greater than ever earlier than.
Some Ahmadi households in Gaza have been destroyed, could Allah the Almighty preserve them secure. Might He preserve all of the harmless and oppressed secure, wherever they could be.
Might Allah the Almighty grant understanding to Hamas, so they don’t turn out to be liable for the cruelties inflicted on their very own folks, nor ought to they commit injustices towards anybody. If they’re compelled to battle, then they need to achieve this in line with the commandments of Islam. Enmity for one more nation shouldn’t lead us away from appearing with justice; that is the command of Allah the Almighty.
Might Allah the Almighty allow the key powers to determine justice on each side and thereby set up peace. It shouldn’t be that they lean in direction of one facet and thus usurp the rights of the opposite facet. Might they not commit injustices and cruelties.
Might Allah the Almighty grant us the chance to witness peace and safety on the planet.’
