1. NAME AND LINEAGE
History has recorded that A’ishah bint Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) is the most knowledgeable woman of the Muslim Ummah. Rather, no woman from among the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) or from among any other Ummah surpassed her in knowledge.
Name and Lineage
Born in Makkah four or five years after the Prophet’s mission, A’ishah, along with her sister, ‘Asma’, embraced Islam when they were still young and the Muslims were still a minority.
Her father was as-Siddiq, the Prophet’s Caliph, Abu Bakr Abd Allah ibn Abu Quhafah Uthman ibn Amir ibn Amr ibn ka’b ibn Taym ibn Murrah ibn Ka’b ibn Lu’ayy who belonged to the tribe of Quraysh. His lineage meets with that of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Murrah ibn Kaab.
As for her mother, she was the venerable Companion, Umm Ruman bint Amir ibn Wwaymir ibn Shams who belonged to the tribe of Banu Kinanah. She converted to Islam when it was still in its early stages, gave her pledge to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and then emigrated to Madinah.
Her Upbringing
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was brought up by two honorable parents. She inherited good morals and benevolence from them. And, they inculcated in her full trust in Allah, the love for the Da’wah and the Da’iyah In addition to this, Allah, Most High, provided her with noble characteristics which enabled her to perform her assigned role in the Prophetic house.
She (may Allah be pleased with her) was endowed with matchless beauty. In this regard, adh-Dhahaby said, ‘Aishah was a beautiful white woman. Therefore, she was called al-Humayra. The Prophet (peace be upon him) did not marry a virgin besides her and did not love another woman as he loved here.”
