Controversial Issues About Al-Sayyida Aishah in the Orientalist`S Legacy: A Critical Revision [Doctoral dissertation, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia]. USIM Research Repository.https://oarep.usim.edu.my/handle/123456789/22051Matric:4150128 (FPQS)This research deals with issues related to the Ummul Mu’minin, Saidah Aisha bint Abi Bakr, may Allah be pleased with them, such as the issue of her early marriage, the incident of slander that was propagated by the hypocrites, which verses from Surat Al- Nur were revealed about; her participation in the bloody political events after the tragedic assassination of Caliph Othman bin Affan, may Allah be pleased with him; and her efforts In transmitting Hadith and her critical views of some of some other Companions’ narrations. These issues will be presented from the point of view of the orientalists who had special approaches in this regard and evaluated with a historical criticism. Orientalists have formed a solid objective research, as they claimed, by referring to Sunnis reliable resources which it draws important details after placing them in historical contexts that reflect the development of Islamic legislation and the codification of the Prophet’s Sunnah. The researcher adapted the descriptive approach as a general way to indicate the importance and problematic of the research and used the historical approach in evaluating the reality of the Western theories, finally the critical analysis approach was decisive in refuting Western opinions. Among the findings of the research was: there was a fundamental differences in terms of methodology and content between the Orientalist criticism and others of the same issues related to Ummul Mu’minin, Saidah Aisha, due to their adoption of reliable sources and modern reference; Orientalist criticism is free of fanaticism and blind hatred, focusing on modern and jurisprudential issues instead of defaming the morals and political intentions of Ummul Mu’minin, Saidah Aisha; Loading historical texts more than they can bear in terms of the results presented by orientalists about the development of Islamic legislation as a context inherent to the views of Ummul Mu’minin, Saidah Aisha; their fallacy of linking between fabricating Hadiths and the delay in Hadith codification and the political complications which Ummul Mu’minin, Saidah Aisha was an active part in; and finally separate the political events from its religious ethics and roots, and present it in a pragmatic way denying the religious principles and spirit .en-USSaidah AishaOrientalistsHadithSunnisIslamic legislationReligious ethicsPubertytext::thesis
