HAZRAT AISHA (R.A) . Aisha was born 613 or early 614. She was the daughter of Umm Ruman and Abu Bakr of Mecca , two of Muhammad's most trusted companions . No sources offer much more information about Aisha's childhood years.
The idea to match Aisha with Muhammad was suggested by Khawlah bint Hakim after the death of Muhammad's first wife, Khadija bint Khuwaylid . After this, the previous agreement regarding the marriage of Aisha with Jubayr ibn Mut'im was put aside by common consent. Abu Bakr was uncertain at first "as to the propriety or even legality of marrying his daughter to his 'brother'. Marriage to Muhammad
Sunni view of Aisha Sunnis believe she was Muhammad's favorite wife. They consider her (among other wives) to be Umm al- Mu’minin and among the members of the Ahl al-Bayt , or Muhammad's family. According to Sunni hadith reports, Muhammad saw Aisha in two dreams in which he was shown that he would marry her.
Accusation of adultery The story of accusation of adultery levied against Aisha can be traced to sura (chapter) An- Nur of the Qur'an . As the story goes, Aisha left her howdah in order to search for a missing necklace. Her slaves mounted the howdah and prepared it for travel without noticing any difference in weight without Aisha's presence.
After the daily Asr prayer, Muhammad would visit each of his wives' apartments to inquire about their well-being. Muhammad was just in the amount of time he spent with them and attention he gave to them. Once, Muhammad's fifth wife, Zaynab bint Jahsh , received some honey from a relative which Muhammad took a particular liking to. As a result, every time Zaynab offered some of this honey to him he would spend a longer time in her apartment. This did not sit well with Aisha and Hafsa bint Umar . Story of the honey
. First Fitna In 655, Uthman's house was put under siege by about 1000 rebels. Eventually the rebels broke into the house and murdered Uthman , provoking the First Fitna . After killing Uthman , the rebels asked Ali to be the new caliph, although Ali was not involved in the murder of Uthman according to many reports . Ali reportedly initially refused the caliphate , agreeing to rule only after his followers persisted.
Contributions to Islam and influence After 25 years of a monogamous relationship with his first wife, Khadija bint Khuwaylid , Muhammad participated in nine years of polygyny , marrying at least nine further wives. Muhammad's subsequent marriages were depicted purely as political matches rather than unions of sexual indulgence. In particular, Muhammad's unions with Aisha and Hafsa bint Umar associated him with two of the most significant leaders of the early Muslim community, Aisha's and Hafsa's fathers, Abu Bakr.
Political influence Some say that Aisha's political influence helped promote her father, Abu Bakr, to the caliphate after Muhammad's death. After the defeat at the Battle of the Camel, Aisha retreated to Medina and became a teacher.Upon her arrival in Medina, Aisha retired from her public role in politics. Her discontinuation of public politics, however, did not stop her political influence completely.
Death Aisha died at her home in Medina on 17 Ramadan 58 AH (16 July 678 ).She was 67 years old . Some such as Sibt ibn al- Jawzi , Hakim Sanai , and Khwaja Mehboob Qasim Chishti Muhsarafee Qadiri , say that she was murdered by Muawiyah . Muhammad's companion Abu Hurairah led her funeral prayer after the tahajjud (night) prayer, and she was buried at Jannat al- Baqi .
