The Marriage Between Prophet Muhammad & Aisha Is Good.

Con did not contest any of my previous arguments, I shall thus proceed where I was last. Also, much of what Con said is a series of ill supported suggestions, bold claims & bad analogies, & as per my Rules, they shall remain inadmissible until properly supported, established & taken to their full conclusions. Plus, Con’s arguments are very badly sourced, some on false accounts, others on mistranslations, others taken out of context, & others false inauthentic interpretations, which damages greatly the value of such Argument, for weak evidence will not fulfil the Sufficiency Condition required by the Resolution. & I shall address these points either on this Round or the next. - I coudn't upload the photos directly, it didn't work for me, so I uploaded them through links: - As I exhibited in my 2nd Round (R-2), the Marriage of Muhammad & Aisha was a blessed Union based on mutual and everlasting Love & a healthy relationship. Muhammad, even though at the time was the Ruler of a nation, its Lawmaker, its Judge & its Prophet, in the presence of his wives, he acted not as a Ruler nor as a Prophet, but rather as a loving husband. > He used to spend his time serving his family, he used to sew his own clothes, wash them, feed his sheep, milk his goats, mend his own shoes, carry the water, clean the house. . .[1] & Aisha too used to help him out, sometimes wash his clothes & fix his hair.[2] http://postimg.org... > He & Aisha used to spend their time talking to each-other, playing with each-other, amusing each-other, consulting each-other [3]. . . & she used to ask him questions all the time, & he would teach her all sorts of things.[4]http://postimg.org... > They used to do the ablution together, pray together even bathe together [5]. He used to amuse her by putting food into her mouth, and offering her to drink, & reciprocally, eat & drink from the spot where she ate & drank [6]. He used to kiss her every time he entered the house.[7]http://postimg.org... > He never reviled Aisha (nor any of his wives), nor caused her any harm or even yell at her, let alone hit her [8]. He did not rebuke her (or his wives) even when she (or they) act badly against him or quarrel with him. On the contrary, he defended her against her father even if she was at fault [9]. He set an example of forbearance even in the most dreadful of situations [10]. http://postimg.org...http://postimg.org... [10] Examples of dreadful situations: 1. When a rumour spread by Abdulah Ibn Ubay (the adversary of Muhammad in Medina) where he falsely accuses Aisha of committing adultery with Safwan Ibn al-Mu’attil. Even in that extreme situation, Muhammad did nothing to her expect say: “O Aisha, I heard about you such and such, If you are innocent, then Allah will declare your innocence: but if you have committed a sin, then ask for Allah's Forgiveness and repent to him.”, & then he wen out to defend Aisha saying: “Who would exonerate me from imputations of that person [Abdullah Ibn Ubay] who has troubled (me) in regard to my family? By Allah, I find nothing in my wife but goodness and the person whom the people have mentioned in this connection is, according to my knowledge, a thoroughly pious person, and he did never get into my house but along with me.” [Bukhari #4690] 2. The false account brought up by Con: “Muhammad’s father-in-laws (Abu Bakr and Umar) amused him by slapping his wives (Aisha and Hafsa) for annoying him.” >> It’s a false account, as it doesn’t exist, but the original story is in the Incident of Takhyir: Context: > The situation of muslims became better, & money started flowing in. Muhammad’s wives convened to ask him to raise their expanses. But, he, being an ascetic, could not allow his austere life style to change. While they were gather, Abu Bakr & Umar came to him, unaware of the situation. Umar noticed there is a situation between the Prophet & his wives, for everybody was silent, so he thought of breaking the silence by making a joke about marriage, so he started complaining about his wife Bint Kharija & how she asks him for more money. The Prophet laughed, for it was the same for his wives too, & he told them: “As you can see, they (the wives) are around me asking for extra expanses.”. Upon hearing this, Abu Bakr & Umar went to their daughters & squeezed their necks rebuking them. The Prophet then commands them to stop the hostility, & goes into his seclusion for 1 month. > When he came back, he offered all his wives a choice, starting with Aisha: “Either divorce with full & handsome provision, or staying in marriage with the same austere life style as before.” > Here, Muhammad said to Aisha: “I want to make you a proposal, & I’d like you to answer me after you consult with your parents”, when she heard it, she said: “Is it about you that I should consult my parents! Nay, I choose Allah, His Messenger [Muhammad] & the Hereafter”. => In both cases, the way he dealt with the whole very-tense-situation is exemplary, showing high degrees of indulgence & forbearance. He loved Aisha very much, & he was ready to let her go & reward her handsomely if she decided to leave him. & Aisha on her part chose Muhammad over wealth, instantly, without even consulting her parents. Marriage as a Legacy: 1- Aisha’s position in the Scholarly realm after the death of the Prophet Muhammad:http://postimg.org...http://postimg.org...Rebuttals: Narrated Aisha: " He said: Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me? I said: Yes. He struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?." Muslim 4:2127 - This Hadith, in fact, corroborate the Good nature of the Marriage, & not the opposite. The story goes like this: > Muhammad was spending the night with Aisha, & when he thought she went to sleep, he discretely slipped out the door & went to al-Baqi’ to the cemetery to pray for the dead late at night. > Aisha, being awake at the moment, thought he went to see some of his other wives. Aisha felt jealous, for it was her night, & went after him. > When she found him at the cemetery she felt ashamed, for she has been jealous for no reason, & her husband was praying at the cemetery. & so, she hurried back inconspicuously, though he saw her black shadow. > When Muhammad returned, he found Aisha out of breath, & asked her what happened. It was then when he said: “Was it the darkness (of your shadow) that I saw in front of me?”. > Then he ‘struck her chest’ & assured her that he wouldn’t deal unjustly with her (spend the night with another wife during her night). The word used for ‘struck’ in the Hadith is ‘Lahada’ which means: nudge, touch, push, pinch. . . => & so Muhammad did not strike or hit Aisha purposely, that’s a mistranslation. He gave her a nudge on her chest because she was panting, which she felt. > Muhammad then sits then teaches her how to pray for the dead. => Con uses a mistranslated out of context version of the Hadith. Muhammad did not strike Aisha, he gave her a nudge because she was panting. & as I mentioned before, Aisha herself says: "[He] never laid a hand on anyone" http://postimg.org... drowning armies(2:50) , eternal torture of unbelievers (2:6-7, 2:107, 2:162), killing unbelievers (2:191-2) - False claims, & I addressed this issues thoroughly in my previous debate: http://www.debate.org... “The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom” (5:33) "Except for those who return [repenting] before you apprehend them. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." (5:34) - Apparently Con did not bother to check the interpretation of the verse. Nonetheless, I shall explain it: > The verse starts with “those who wage war against Allah & His messenger” => It is evident that ‘waging war against God’ can not be taken literally, for war against God is nonessential, & thus it means ‘going against Allah’s command’ by striving to ‘spread corruption in the land’. The word used to describe “those” is ‘Muharibin’ = groups who take up arms to terrorise, robe people of their properties &/or their lives. In modern terms = members of organised crimes syndicates, mercenaries, assassins, pirates, & terrorists. . . > As the verse suggests, such gangsters/terrorists, if apprehended, shall be sentenced, by Law, to: * Crucifixion (upon death): in case of both slaughter & plunder. * Death: in case of slaughter. * Cutting the hands & feet: in case of plunder. * Expulsion: in case of terrorising only, with none of the above. > If such gangsters/terrorists repent before they were apprehended, their punishment is thereby dropped, as the next verse decrees. Such is also the case of the penalty of Stealing, if the thief repent before being apprehended, his penalty is dropped.
