In this solo episode, Daisy Khan tackles one of the most damaging misconceptions about Prophet Muhammad: the claim that Aisha was six or nine years old when they married. This narrative has long been used to malign the Prophet's character, fuel Islamophobia, and even justify child marriage.

Drawing on historical timelines, classical sources, and contemporary scholarship, Daisy examines the evidence that challenges this widely accepted claim. More importantly, she explains why getting this history right matters, and equips you with the knowledge to confidently respond to one of the most common falsehoods about Islam and its Prophet.
