Abstract

After Islam came to world to give guidance to the humanity, the evil powers commenced targeting it using every possible mean. One of these was the ideological war against Islam. The orientalists tried to search weak points in Islam to denounce and defame it. They researched on different aspects of Islam and tried to implant doubts in the minds of week Muslims and that of the non-Muslims about prophet Muhammad (SAW), Hadiths, The Quran and the like. One of these burning issues is the age of Hadhrat Aisha RA while she got marriage with Prophet Muhammad SAW. This article tried to take the veil off from their doubts and give them convincing answers. It consists of brief life of Hadhrat Aisha RA, main and basic questions of orientalists and their answers along with references from primary sources.
