Hazrat Aisha(R.A) was born 613 or early 614. She was the daughter of Umm
Ruman and Abu Bakr of Mecca, two of Muhammad's most
trusted companions. No sources offer much more information about Aisha's
childhood years.

3. Marriage to Muhammad:

4. Sunni view of
Aisha:
Sunnis believe she was Muhammad's favorite wife. They consider her
(among other wives) to be Umm al-Mu’minin and among the members of
the Ahl al-Bayt, or Muhammad's family. According to Sunni hadith
reports, Muhammad saw Aisha in two dreams in which he was shown that
he would marry her.

5. Accusation of adultery:
The story of accusation of adultery levied against Aisha can be
traced to sura (chapter) An-Nur of the Qur'an. As the story
goes, Aisha left her howdah in order to search for a missing
necklace. Her slaves mounted the howdah and prepared it for
travel without noticing any difference in weight without
Aisha's presence.

6. First Fitna:
In 655, Uthman's house was put under siege by about 1000
rebels. Eventually the rebels broke into the house and
murdered Uthman, provoking the First Fitna.
After killing Uthman, the rebels asked Ali to be the new
caliph, although Ali was not involved in the murder of
Uthman according to many reports.
Ali reportedly initially refused the caliphate, agreeing to rule
only after his followers persisted.

8. •Some say that Aisha's political influence helped promote her father, Abu Bakr, to the
caliphate after Muhammad's death.
After the defeat at the Battle of the Camel, Aisha retreated to Medina and became a
teacher.Upon her arrival in Medina, Aisha retired from her public role in politics. Her
discontinuation of public politics, however, did not stop her political influence
completely.

9. Death:
Aisha died at her home in Madina on 17 Ramadan58 AH (16
July 678).She was 67 years old. . Muhammad's
companion Abu Hurairah led her funeral prayer after
the tahajjud (night) prayer, and she was buried at Jannat al-
Baqi.
