QUESTION:
Do you have proof from the Qur’an that confirms what you claim in regards to A’isha?
ANSWER:
In the Name of Allah, the All-Beneficent, the All-Merciful.
May Allah bless Muhammad and his Family and damn their enemies.
Know that the evidence for A’isha’s conviction is extensive in the Noble Qur’an and narrations, and we will present some of them.
Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) guided us to this in His Book when He said:
Allah presents an example of those who disbelieved: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of Our righteous servants but betrayed them, so those prophets did not avail them from Allah at all, and it was said, “Enter the Fire with those who enter.
66:10
As it was proven to us by the text of the Book that the wives of the Prophet Noah and the Prophet Lot (peace be upon them) were treacherous, corrupted and perverted. It was also proven that the wives of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), A’isha and Ḥafṣa, were also treacherous, corrupted and perverted, as Almighty said:
If you two [wives] repent to Allah, [it is best], for your hearts have deviated. But if you cooperate against him – then indeed Allah is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers and the angels, moreover, are [his] assistants. [4] Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you – submitting [to Allah], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and travelling – [ones] previously married and virgins. [5].
66:4-5
The consensus among Muslims is that the two verses were referring to A’isha and Ḥafṣa when they cooperated against the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) in the infamous story of ‘taḥrim’. And that is why Allah had called onto them to repent because their hearts have deviated, meaning, their hearts have deviated from Islam, as Allah Almighty has warned to divorce them and replace them with wives better than them which will be submitting, believing, devoutly obedient, repentant and sincere worshippers of Allah. This means that A’isha and Hafsa weren’t submitting, believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, and sincere; otherwise, Allah wouldn’t have said, “better than you.
Moreover, Allah did not mention in the Noble Qur’an that they had repented and believed, so their unbelief, betrayal, and deviation remains by the text of the Qur’an, especially since that their biography strengthens it, as they had poisoned the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family), and killed him, then they had cooperated on isolating his rightful successor, the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him), and they fought him in the battle of al-Jamal. Then they had prevented the implementation of the will of Imam Al-Ḥasan (peace be upon him), and confronted his funeral and shot arrows at his coffin, among other situations that testify that the two women – especially A’isha, may Allah curse her, had enmity towards the Prophet and his holy household (peace be upon them).
Allah has said,
Indeed, those who abuse Allah and His Messenger – Allah has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and prepared for them a humiliating punishment.
33:57
Since it has been proven by the previous text from the Qur’an that A’isha and Ḥafṣa were unbelieving, treacherous, corrupted, and perverted, and it has also been proven, according to the sunnah and extensive narrations, that they had abused the Prophet in dozens of cases and situations to the point that the Prophet described them as the female companions of Joseph and described A’isha as the head of disbelief, as it was narrated by Muslim in his Sahih, vol. 4, p. 2229, no. 2905. All the aforementioned makes it clear to all that A’isha and Ḥafṣa must be cursed and disassociated from, and it is an act that every Muslim man and woman must perform.
As for what had been mentioned in ‘Sunni’ narrations, the eminent Sheikh has said, “The Prophet has warned several times of A’isha and exposed the reality of her being the head of disbelief, the horn of Satan, and the door of affliction.”
Abdullah ibn ʻUmar narrated that the Prophet stood up and delivered a sermon, and pointing to A’isha’s house, he said thrice,
Affliction (will appear from) here”, and, “where Satan’s head comes out.
Sahih al-Bukhari, vol. 4, p. 100.
Muslim also narrated that the Prophet came out from the house of A’isha and said:
It would be from this direction that there would appear the height of unbelief, where the horns of Satan will appear.
Sahih Muslim, vol. 2, p. 560
Sunni’ scholar attempts to interpret the word ‘side or directions’ to denote that affliction will come from the east, is so absurd that we do not need to respond to it. Therefore, claims that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) did not reveal the reality of A’isha (curses of Allah upon her) is entirely false.
