But at the Age of 25, the Prophet (saw) wasn't even a Prophet. So does that even count as a sunnah?

THe sunnah of prophet hasnt got anything to do with his prophethood. Sunnah means his habit-way of life.Obviously the virtue of each sunnah´s varies like sunnah muaqqadah - ghair muaqqadah.

thanks for your advice

I believe that is an incorrect statement.

Prophet Muhammad was a Prophet since he was born, since even before he was born in fact. Allah had communicated about Rasul and his ummah with other Prophets . Rasulullah was, by the grace of Allah swt, the answer to Prophet Ibrahim's supplication. He was not notified about his prophethood until he was around 40 years old. There's a difference between not being, and not knowing.

For example, if a person does not know his biological parents growing up, and he thinks/is told that he is 100% Pakistani, so he grows up thinking that. However, much later on in life he finds out that in fact one of his parents was Arab and the other was Pakistani, so he is 50% Pakistani and 50% Arab (just for the sake of the example). That doesn't mean that he just "became" part Arab, rather he was always part Arab but just didn't know.

Insha'Allah I will be corrected if I am wrong here.

Allah knows best.

I see what you mean here. He was chosen to be a prophet even before he was born, he (saw) just didn't get the first revelation until the age of 40. I understand.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Its generally advised to get to get married at a younger age anyway, it protects you from sin.

Advice: Make the marriage simple and affordable. Dont spend too much and get too elaborate like the desi's do in Pakistan/india (not all, but most do that).
Also, look for a bride who is religious. Yes, physical beauty, wealth and lineage are also important factors, but the most important it piety and inclination towards the deen.

More advice from the expert, Shaykh Hasan Ali. If you really want good advice concerning marriage, please, I strongly advice you to watch this video.

But don't neglect other part of this sunnah

[blankostaroe]

Assalam-O-Alaikum!

Is that according to Georgian calendar or Hijri calendar?

Salam!

correct your belief brother.

Brother Umairel,



Please delete your post. That is a bad joke (if you are in fact joking). If you're not joking then that is disrespectful nonetheless.

I did brother.
Brother Abdul-Khaliq corrected me.

Insha Allah, by the grace of Allah - the match whom we found is few months elder to me. I am again blessed.
By the will Allah everything happens and will happen.

thanks. Hope you didnt expect this second part from me.

You would be incorrect and correct to some extent.

scholars have debated on this matter and some have concluded although right in the apparent understanding i.e. he has been a prophet from birth, none of his actions are considered as a sunnah he did as a child/young person to avoid any misconception or understand of actions that could not be validated.

For example: A non-sahabi (Munafiq or Mushrik) making a reference to an action he did as a child/young man that does not have a chain from a sahabi in either seeing/hearing that action.

Of course then their is the issue of him getting married at 25 to Khadijah (May Allah be pleased with her) which was significant and prominent that most people were aware of it as part of Quresh history (not Islamic history) due to the nature of him marrying a prominent personality. So the debate was whether this act is considered a sunnah or not. Nonetheless not much of the actions of the Prophet (May peace and blessing be upon him) is preserved in the way those actions are conducted during nabuwwat and in the books of Sunnah you will notice that most actions are in reference to the period after his age of 40.

It has been a while since I read upon this so would like to get some more clarity if anyone is aware of the scholars opinions on this matter.

Any scholar here to resolve this issue? Were the actions of the Prophet before his age of 40 considered Sunnah or not? Im interested as to what the answer will be.

Brother Umairel,

Sorry if it sounds disrespectful.
I only point out the tendency of picking those sunnahs which synchronize with the desire and leave which are against desire.
Is it scholarly considered among sunnahs to marry at age of 25? I never read it in any marraige book and majority of sahaba nad tabaeen didnt wait for this age, correct me if i am wrong?

Brother i didn't expect that.
From the life of the Prophet both examples of elder and younger wife proved so no hard and fast rule.
May Allah bless your life
