Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa (RA) is known as the mother of the believers. She (RA) was born in Makkah in the year 614 CE. Hazrat Aisha (RA) is the daughter of the beloved companion of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW), Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (RA). She (RA) was the third and youngest wife of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Her father Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (RA) was the closest companion and most important supporter of Prophet (PBUH).
حضرت عائشہ صدیقہ رضی اللہ عنہا مومنین کی والدہ کے نام سے مشہور ہیں۔ وہ (رح) 614 عیسوی میں مکہ مکرمہ میں پیدا ہوئیں۔ حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا حضرت محمد (ص) کے پیارے ساتھی حضرت ابوبکر صدیق رضی اللہ عنہ کی بیٹی ہیں۔ وہ (رح) پیغمبر اکرم (ص) کی تیسری اور چھوٹی بیوی تھیں۔ ان کے والد حضرت ابو بکر صدیق رضی اللہ عنہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے سب سے قریبی ساتھی اور اہم حامی تھے۔
Amongst the wives of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa (RA) was the youngest. She (RA) was married to Muhammad (SAW) at the age of six. Before the marriage with Hazrat Aisha (RA) Prophet Muhammad (SAW) saw a dream about her in which an angel had presented something to Him (PBUH) wrapped in silk. Holy Prophet (SAW) had enquired from the Angel what it was and he had said it was his wife. When he removed the silk cover He (SAW) saw that it was Aisha (RA). Prophet (PBUH) used to receive revelation when He (SAW) was with Aisha (RA). Prophet (SAW) spent the last few days of His blessed life in Aisha’s (RA) apartment and died in her lap. He (PBUH) was buried in her apartment, which is still the only remaining room among the Prophet’s (SAW) household.
When she grew older she became the scholar, stateswoman and the major resource to all Muslims even today because she knew all of the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Aisha (RA) was blessed with an astonishing memory and never forgot something once she heard it. Hazrat Aisha (RA) was the mean of spreading knowledge of Quran and also the practices of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). She (RA) learned from Holy Prophet (PBUH) and used to practice it. Aisha (RA) was very fond of playing with dolls and with her playmates when she was a child.
Hazrat Aisha (RA) was courageous and brave. She would go to battlefields just like in battle of Uhud carrying water in leather bags on her back to demolish the thirst of the fighting and injured Muslim soldiers. In the battle of trenches, when the Makkans had blockade Medina and an attack from the Jews was feared she would go around inspecting the plan of defense by the Muslims. She had sought permission of the Prophet (SAW) to participate actively in the battles but was refused. She was delicate and the fear of Allah Almighty never left her heart. She used to keep herself busy in prayers. There are several occasions on which Ayahs of the Quran being revealed because of Aisha (RA). One of them was when she (RA) was maliciously accused of adultery by the hypocrites. Allah revealed verses 11- 21 of Surah an Nur on her defense.
She was a lively woman who stood for truth and justice. She was a fountain of knowledge to all who met her and remains so to those of us learning today about the religion Islam. Aisha (RA) is a role model for women today and an excellent example to those who wish to use their vibrant personalities to better the ummah. She died on 17^th Ramadan in the year 58 AH at the age of 66 in Madina. She was buried in Jannatul Baqi.

Sayyidah Ayesha Siddiqah رضی اللہ عنہا was the third lady to enter the house of the Beloved Habeeb Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him as his wife, and she was the only virgin in the consorts of purity of the Holy Prophet’s Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him house.

She was of tender age when she was married to Allah’s Apostle Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him. Historical records bear ample testimony to the fact that Sayyidah Ayesha رضی اللہ عنہا was a precocious genius and was developing both in mind and body with rapidity peculiar to such rare personalities.

This marriage is significant in the history of Islam in so many aspects. Firstly, it cemented the ties between Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him and his devoted friend Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique رضی اللہ عنہا who always stood by him an hour of trial and who sacrificed his all for the cause of Islam.

Secondly, by this marriage, a lady of eminent qualities came under the direct influence of the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him at a highly impressionable age, and this provided her ample opportunities to penetrate into the innermost recesses of the sacred heart of the Beloved Habeeb Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him.

She shared his company and thus was able to develop her potentialities and refine her taste perfectly in accordance with the teachings of Islam under the direct supervision of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him.

This young age was in fact very opportune for marriage as it has been clearly shown in the researches of psychoanalysts that much of the emotions of a mature person and most of those seemingly unaccountable leanings, tastes and tendencies comprised in the term idiosyncrasies can be traced to the experience of his or her highly formative age of either later childhood or early adolescence.

Thirdly, all the wives of the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Are Upon Him with the exception of Sayyidah Ayesha رضی اللہ عنہا were of advanced age and thus could neither share the feelings of the younger generation nor could they properly appreciate their point of view. The difference of age always stood as a barrier between them and the ladies of the younger ages.

The only lady with whom young women could frankly enter into conversation and discuss problems without any reserve could be none but Sayyidah Ayesha رضی اللہ عنہا. Thus, the marriage of the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him with Sayyidah Ayesha رضی اللہ عنہا at an age when she was at the threshold of puberty was a great necessity,

as it was through her that instructions could successfully be imparted to the young ladies who had newly entered the fold of Islam.
