its an unfortunate truth that many ppl. never studied the life of prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam. they just pick some v.specific aspects of his life without knowing the history background of the same thing.
Even though Allahu ta’ala had declared to prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him): "I shall give you whatever you want,"
he never wanted worldly fortune. Never did he eat bread made of sifted wheat flour. He always ate bread made of unsifted barley flour.
He never ate enough food to be full. He ate bread without anything, or with dates, fruit, vinegar, soup, or bread dipped into olive oil.
His family spent times at home without cooking any food or baking any bread for two or three months. During this time they would only eat dates. It was also witnessed that he would eat nothing for two or three days. When he died, it was found out that his iron armored jacket had been pawned to a Jew for 30 (thirty) kilos of wheat. This is all reported by the wife of prophet and mother of all the believers, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her).
His bed was made of leather and full of date filler. Once, he was given a bed that was full of wool, he did not accept it and said: "
O! Aisha! I swear by Allah that if I wanted, Allahu ta’ala would make gold and silver piles available for me in every place." He Sometimes slept on a mat, on wood, in a bed, on felt woven from wool, or out on the dry soil.
This was the life of prophet who himself choose a simple life. He (Peace be upon him) did not have any worldly attraction rather every actions show the humility and humbleness as being the servant of Allah SWT.
People who object the early marriage of Aisha r.a either had a very different aspect of looking towards woman or they had a v. weird picture of the life of the final messenger of God.
The prophet first marriage was with Khadijah r.a and it was before his prophet hood when his age was 25 years old and Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her) age was forty 40. The man who married the woman who was 15 years elder than him, then how can we expect such man to marry aisha r.a for whim and desire, moreover, after getting the prophecy from Allah SWT?( God forfid) this is indeed a great slander and misconception and may Allah save us from holding such evil thought.
I suggest the non-muslims to read the life of prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam or read Quran, the speech of Allah to understand the real purpose of our life and knowing Allah SWT, the Lord of the worlds.
