ABSTRACT
Prophet was sent as a messenger and as a human being. He was accordingly commanded by Allah
swt to eat from what was pure, dress himself in the best of manners, and marry. The sunnah of
marriage was a clear message to the rahbaniyyah from the previous nations (including Christians)
who believed that marrying women was impious. On contrary to their belief, Prophet married
himself and advised his followers to marry too. Marrying and having offsprings is an important
human need. Islam never restricts it, but channelizes it in the right direction.
The marriages of the most blessed of all creations, our master Muhammad , as discussed above,
were in accordance with the commands of Allah and filled with wisdom. However, some illintentioned critics try to distract people in this regard and infuse doubts. The more vulnerable from
the society, the less knowledgeable ones, accordingly become confused. This account has been
created to address this issue. The number of marriages by the Holy prophet carries the beneficial
secrets, which are rarely noticed by laymen. The house of the prophet had different kinds of
women of different natures, statuses and family backgrounds. Some of them belonged to rich
families while the others came from humble origins. Some were better than the others in terms of
outlook, some were aged, and some were teenaged. Some were intelligent and keen and some were
patient. There is no doubt they all were great, noble and of an esteemed character as praised by
Allah swt Himself. They all practiced and preached, physically and mentally, what they were taught
by the prophet . This research paper reflects on the marital aspect of Pprophets life with
relevant arguments and logical conclusions.

"According to the Talmud, the recommended age for marriage is

sometime after twelve for females, and thirteen for males.
However, a father was allowed to betroth his daughter to another
man at an earlier age, and sexual intercourse was regarded as a valid
means of sealing an engagement. According to the Talmud, A girl
of the age of three years and one day may be engaged by
intercourse.38
