In The Mother of the Believers, Dr. Assad Nimer Busool presents a scholarly and methodical examination of one of the most debated topics in early Islamic history: the age of ʿĀ’ishah bint Abī Bakr at the time of her marriage to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Drawing upon classical Islamic sources, hadith collections, historical records, and linguistic analysis, Dr. Busool challenges the commonly cited age of nine and argues for a more historically and contextually grounded understanding.

The book aims to provide clarity on the issue by analyzing the authenticity and context of narrations related to ʿĀ’ishah’s age, considering the socio-cultural environment of 7th-century Arabia, and examining how this topic has been approached by both traditional scholars and modern critics. Dr. Busool combines deep Islamic knowledge with academic rigor to contribute thoughtfully to contemporary discussions around the Prophet's life and legacy.

This work is essential reading for students of Islamic history, scholars of religion, and anyone seeking a well-reasoned perspective on a topic that has been both controversial and widely misunderstood.
