Aisha (Ayesha) (Radeyallh Anha) was the favorite daughter of one of closest friends, Companion and associates of the Prophet (may Allah Bess him and grant him peace), Abu Bkar Siddique (Radeyallh Anh). Several Ayat of the Noble Quran which were revealed were associated with her, and she was justifiably proud of this honor. She was in an enviable position among the Mothers of the believers in that she was considered the foremost among them. Allah had chosen her Himself in the heavens as a bride for Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him in peace), a portrait of here, wrapped in silk, was brought to him in his dream by the Angel Jibril. He told him that he was to marry her, and she would be his consort in the life hereafter as well.

She had a brilliant mind and a remarkable memory; and the distinction of being the source of the most Ahadith because of her ling association with Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him in peace). Her knowledge of the many branches of religion like Fiqh and Shariah, her wisdom in interpretation, her mastery of the teachings of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him in peace), her trustworthiness and integrity – all these qualities made her one of the most remarkable personalities of the time. She was very tender-hearted an no needy person left her house empty-handed. The angel Jibril personally greeted her. During her lifetime the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him in peace) gave her the wonderful news that she earned a place for herself in Paradise. It was while resting in her lap that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him in peace) passed away, and it was her apartment that became his final resting-place. Angels surrounded her apartment even during her lifetime and for all time the blessings of Allah will be showered on it, since as it is in the centre of the sanctuary at Al-Madinah.

2. She was the only virgin to have become the wife of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him in peace).

3. When the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him in peace) passed away, he was resting in her lap and was buried in her apartment.

4. Many times angle encircled her apartment with love and respect.

5. Very often divine revelation would come to Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him in peace) when they were lying together resting in peace and tranquility.

6. She was the daughter of the loyal and true friend of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him in peace) Abu Bakr Siddique. (Radeyallh Anh).

7. Ayat acquitting her of any wrongdoing had descended from the heavens from Allah proving her innocence.

8. She was born a Muslim and had been brought up in pure a environment, and spent her formative years with the purest and best of creatures, the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him in peace).
