Aisha
Muhammad's third wife (c. 605/614 – 678)
Aisha bint Abu Bakr (604-678; Arabic: عائشة بنت أبوبکر) was the third wife of Muhammad. Aisha is given honour in Islam, especially in the Sunni branch. She is often called by Muslims Umm-al-mu'minin which means "the Mother of the Believers".
Aisha was the daughter of Abu Bakr of Mecca. It is not specified what her age was, at the time of wedlock. A common misconception that she was 6 to 9 years old. This is a completely falsified narrative brought up to shame islam. [1][2] She was not Muhammad's only wife.[3]
Her ten-year marriage to Muhammad ended when he died. Aisha lived fifty more years in and around Medina. Much of her time was spent learning the Quran, and the Sunnah of Muhammad.
