Talk:Aisha

Age at marriage

When you look at the age of marriage writings here, you get the impression that most islamic scholars think she was a teenager even though all Sunni hadiths claim otherwise. The Islamic scholar quoted Maulana Muhammad Ali is of the Ahmadiyya which is an heterodox fringe group.

I attempted to put some neutrality in this paragraph and actually add what the hadiths say but for some reason User:Cuchullain removed it. Any feedback? Someone65 (talk) 21:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

He was right to do so. It's redundant, as her age is covered multiple times. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 22:19, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

www.muslim.org/islam/aisha-age.htm fails as a Wikipedia reference and should be removed. V7-sport (talk) 02:55, 3 July 2010 (UTC)V7-sport

@ HelloAnnyong from Adder word

Dear HelloAnnyong (( why Reverted my edit Please in light )) Adder word (talk) 05:21, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

I reverted this edit because it adds a great deal of original research and point of view text. It sort of puts a spin on the article, as if she was someone that either did not actually exist or something. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 13:58, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Agree with Hello. It's a bunch of uncited material that makes quite opposite claims to the rest of the article.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:15, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Aisha as "last wife" of Muhammad

i'm certainly no expert on Islam or the life of the Prophet, but my understanding is that the Prophet married Aisha as the third of his wives ten wives.

and that he was still married to several wives when he died.

so i don't understand, assuming that i'm right in remembering what i've read, how Aisha was his "last wife."

could it be that someone meant to say that she was his youngest wife? my understanding is that she was just 18 when the Prophet died.

could it have been meant that she was the last of his wives to die? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.29.203 (talk) 15:17, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Y Done Thanks for pointing that out, I have no idea how it slipped in, but it's clearly incorrect. Doc Tropics 20:59, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Still more OR and such

Anyone else find these edits particularly troubling? Seems to reek of original research. Also, I have a feeling Helloharry.sim (talk · contribs) is 81.159.239.99 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) who signed up after I issued a final warning. I'm also thinking we need to get this page indef semiprot'd, as it seems all we get here is vandalistic edits. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 22:48, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

I would strongly support semi-protection as this page sees more IP vandalism than constructive edits. In fact, it's relatively stable except for vandalism. The edit by Helloharry is very typical of that activity and the account bears watching. Doc Tropics 00:11, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Missing Cross Reference (Merge?) and Additional Comments on the Article in General

Please note that there is also a Wikipedia article titled "Shi'a view of Aisha" at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shi%27a_view_of_Aisha. Neither that article nor this one have cross-references to each other. I would suggest that these articles be cross referred (or even merged into one article). Since there are two differing points of view on Aisha and her life, if two articles are to be kept, the main article should have a Sunni bias (since the "Shi'a view" article already has a Shi'a bias in regards to Aisha and her life). For the sake of completeness, if a Shi'a apologist website such as www.answering-ansar.org is apparently suitable for use on Wikipedia (such as in the "Shi'a view of Aisha" article previously mentioned), then a Sunni apologist website such as www.ahielbayt.com would be equally suitable for citation on Wikipedia. (I wonder if this website has been referred to in any Wikipedia article or not.)
