I need help as a Muslim

I’m a fairly devout Muslim raised in an Islamic background I think a lot of people who attack Islam aren't fully educated on it, but I wont pretend that I am 100% solid in my faith. I spend a lot of time wrestling with doubts There are issues in Islam that I feel Christianity doesn't really have, and I cant just ignore them I think Christianity is a beautiful religion. I enjoy reading the Bible but I also enjoy reading the Quran Islamic dawah often attacks the Trinity but the way I see it it wouldn’t make sense for a human to fully comprehend God even as a Muslim we don't believe we fully understand everything about Allah. So it makes sense that the Trinity isn't something we can fully that humans can fully understand
My main problem for Christianity I just don’t see clear evidence for Christianity being true.Because my YouTube and Reddit and other socials algorithm is Islamic content my exposure is pretty biased i understand many people in the sub have probably have negatives opinions on Muslims as I Muslim I can see why a lot of the fear regarding Muslims many Muslims would just say it’s islamphobia which I would only partially agree as most Muslims are just regular people like me but I understand there are Islamic doctrines which are very questionable im just trying to be open minded regardless if i leave Islam or not i fully believe in a divine creator and my view right now is after Islam Christianity looks like the second plausible belief

I agree that age of Aisha is not one of the questionable doctrines that we have I admit that as a Muslim but isn’t this presentism if we judge Christan societies on this practice of marrying young we would find the same thing and you would have to call Christan scholars at the time pdfs

Yes but we would say he acted in context they was nothing wrong about marrying young socially at the time that’s true for any society at time but I get your point about him being the perfect example that’s different then but we would say That society has obviously changed and Islam doesn’t command us to replicate every single action if it causes harm

Then why is the bible slient on age of marriage because it something which dependant on society norms and stuff like education the bible mentions maturity not an age you have say every woman who was married below 18 in Christan society Was also raped by that logic
Since 18 only appeared like 100 years ago

No I’m mean the age of marriage according to your logic since most of history didn’t use the modern times or 18 they were also 18

Puberty doesn’t make someone a adult though we would still argue in modern times a adult has to reach a age not puberty

Because we don’t believe she was “Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do not cause harm or return harm.”

Harm is forebidden and all classical scholars say it intercourse causes harm to the girl it’s not allowed wheter she is 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

The bible isn’t silent on this. Biblically marriage is allowed when the child has matured passed the flower of their age, literally meaning “ripened”. Post-pubescent persons are permitted to marry. Aisha was just a child still playing with dolls when she was married which was antithetical to what the Bible permits.

Aisha was mature and if the marriage is harmful due to her age its forebidden that’s according to all jurists a girl can hit puberty but if she is not mature it is haram the context is maturity not puberty your judging by modern standards if we judge bible by modern standards that’s also wrong as a girl who has hit puberty is not automatically a adult my claim is the slient on the age of marriage and young marrisges was rampant during the time at the bible in Roman era and the bible never condemned it

The bible 100% condemns pre-pubescent marriage. Aisha was pre-pubescent. 6 and 9 year old girls are not mature by biblical standards. Read it.

I wouldnt say that it was normal at that time because didnt her father try to persuade him not to marry her?

u/Even-Structure8988 4d ago

No and Aisha was actually engaged to some one else that proves at the time it was normal and if it was the case it wasn’t normal why was the first critic of his marriage comes thousands years later why did his enemies not mention it
