The heinous accusation that was only raised by some ill intentioned orientalists regarding the young age of lady 'Aisha at the time of her marriage to Prophet Muhammad was not raised by the vehement enemies of Islam like the Prophet's tribe, Quraysh, during the time of Prophet Muhammad nor later along the Islamic history. Even historians like Ibn Ishaq and many others who reported the story of the marriage of lady 'Aisha did not stop and wonder about her young age nor they had to justify the Prophet' position of marrying her because simply at that time girls were getting married at such young age. The fact that lady 'Aisha was about to be betrothed to another man before the prophet's proposal means that this was customary practice and not a source of shame or a denigration of morality. Prophet Muhammad since time immemorial was well known among his people of Quraysh to posses the highest moral characteristics and won the hearts of people through the perfection of his manners.
