The Meaning of Consummate: Difference between revisions

Some Muslim apologist refuse to accept the [[Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Aisha#Aisha.27s_Age_at_Consummation_and_Marriage|narrations given by Aisha]] in which she states that she was married to Prophet [[Muhammad]] when she was six years old and that he consummated his marriage with her when she was nine [[Islamic Lunar Calendar|lunar years]] of age, even though these are recorded in Bukhari's sahih ahadith collection.  

These apologists will usually resort to questioning the English translation <ref>[http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/ USC's Compendium of Muslim texts - translated by Dr. Mushin Khan]</ref> of [[Dr.]] Mushin Khan, without addressing the ahadith in their original [[Arabic]]. This article will examine the Arabic language used in the narrations concerning [[Aisha|Aisha's]] marriage to Muhammad, in order to show that Muhammad did in fact have sexual intercourse with Aisha when she was nine years old.
