Disputed issues in early Islamic history

There are a number of uncertainties and disputed issues in the early Islamic history.

Contents

Introduction

Most of these disputes can be traced to Shi'a-Sunni disagreements. Shi'a often argue that history has been distorted to further a Banu Umayyad agenda. In many cases, complications with the historiography of early Islam have also resulted in lack of consensus within denominations of Islam.

List

Some of them include:

  • The date of birth of Muhammad
  • The date of Muhammad's death
  • The age at which Khadija married Muhammad (25–40 years)
  • The date of birth of Fatimah (±10 years)
  • The marriage in which three of Khadijas three daughters where born in, see Genealogy of Khadijas daughters.
  • The number of marriages Khadija was in before marrying Muhammad (0-2 marriages).
  • The year of the prohibition of Nikah Mut'ah.
  • Date of birth of Aisha (6–14 years).
  • Identity of the second wife of Muhammad (Sawda or Aish'a)
  • Disputes over the identity of the "Umm Khulthum" that married Umar (bint Ali, Bint Abu Bakr or a third).
  • The existence of Fatimahs third son, Muhsin ibn Ali.
  • The nomination of Ali Ibne Abi Talib as first caliph by Muhammad in Ghadeer e Khum & Dawat ZulAsheera (first invitation of Islam by Prophet Mohammad to his close relatives)
