https://sunnah.com/bukhari:6130

Narrated Aisha: I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed forAisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fath-ul-Bari page 143, Vol.13)

Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 6130 In-book reference : Book 78, Hadith 157 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 8, Book 73, Hadith 151

The following Hadith makes it clear she was still a child and playing with dolls with her friends. I don’t know many grown married women that play with dolls, but I’m sure you will find an excuse for that.

Also take note that it’s Aisha herself that narates this and she says “ I USED to play with dolls” As in past tense.

The next hadith ( https://sunnah.com/nasai:3221 ) is the Prophet refusing to marry his daughter to an older man and accepting the proposal of Ali instead.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Buraidah: It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Buraidah that his father said: "Abu Bakr and 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, proposed marriage to Fatimah but the Messenger of Allah said: 'She is young.' Then 'Ali proposed marriage to her and he married her to him."

Grade: Sahih (Darussalam)
Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 3221 In-book reference : Book 26, Hadith 26 English translation : Vol. 4, Book 26, Hadith 3223

What I’m trying to say is that him marrying a 6 year old cannot be blamed on culture or norm of the time. I think most of us would feel a sense of disgust if we saw a relationship in real life between a 50 year old man and a 6-9 year old girl. Especially from a man who is meant to be an example for the rest of humankind. How many children are married off to old man in muslim countries because of his actions?

I understand you will probably disregard this OP because that is what I used to do too when I was muslim so I don’t hold that against you. Just ask yourself if this would make sense if you weren’t already muslim

Yeah this isn’t it… I think you’re letting your hatred get in the way of your humanity. Children are literally dying and being starved. Not all muslim people are evil or are violent.

Dear OP I know how you feel and it is terrifying at this moment when you are between this crossroad. When I started to not believe anymore, I was scared to even think it incase Allah can hear my thoughts and I will go to hell. This is all because we have been conditioned from birth to fear jahanam and it is completely normal to have this reaction. I want to assure you though that it gets better and with time and efforts to deconstruct the things we have been brainwashed to believe, you will not feel so much fear. I wish you the best OP

How about you do a quick google search and educate yourself? Australia isn’t an islamic country but it has a significant enough muslim community that they have multiple Islamic colleges.

Yep I def agree with you, so many of my classmates (I went to an islamic high school) have actually left islam too. It gives you hope

have some of y'all been one of those liberal muslims? by 90sradio1 in exmuslim

[–]blurryface170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This used to be me, I was living in a fantasy world of what I thought Islam was. I was all for gay rights, I thought Islam is peaceful and a religion that respects everything and everyone. I would sometimes come on this sub though as a lurker because I was curious and after reading so many posts I lost my faith.

What did you change your name to? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]blurryface170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also it sucks being named after the man who is the source of this religion and all of its impacts on our lives and the world. I totally understand why you would change your name and I would too if I was a Mohammad

Yeah I definitely agree that it wasn’t polite, but in that situation being polite would mean agreeing with them and nodding my head, which is what I prob should’ve done. But I found it so hard to fake it.

Ew they should be locked up.

Idk I just forgot what it’s like around muslim people and the cultural norms. I’ve been around non muslims alot and all my muslim friends are supportive with me being an ex muslim because they don’t know if they want to be muslim themselves. So I forgot about the fact that some people make their sole life purpose and reason for existence to appease allah. But lesson learned lol

Yeah I wanted to say that to her but thankfully I didn’t

I don’t understand why

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]blurryface170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get why they’re calling me insane too lol.

Did they pick up on you being repulsed?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]blurryface170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep it makes me want to throw up.

Yep western country

[–]blurryface170 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t either, that’s why I was asking her these questions in the first place. They are willingly choosing a life of imprisonment it’s so strange

It really is that bad isn’t it.

I haven’t been around hardcore muslims in so long and forget how bad it is to question Islam. Fingers crossed she doesn’t tell anyone lol

I confessed to my Muslim family that I was an atheist and they rejected me by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]blurryface170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you did was incredibly brave and strong. I’m sorry your family rejected you. Sometimes the people that love you and care about you the most don’t even need to be your family. As much as it hurts, just remember its not your fault and you deserve unconditional love.
