is the valuable chronicler of Mohammed.s life. Aisha was a living example of an Arab women who stood firm on many issues in those days. She was known for her strong will, versatile and incisive logic and eloquence. She wielded a powerful intelligence which sometimes was even a match for the inspired and gifted Prophet of Allah. She had no hesitation in opposing or contradicting him whose word was all powerful among the Muslims. She fought in several wars and battles, and was actively involved in politics and cultural and literary activities to such a degree that the theologian of the Muslims, Orwa Ebn El Zobeir, said, .I have not seen anyone who is more knowledgeable in theology, in medicine and in poetry than Aisha.. Aisha was capable of discussing any subject with Mohammed. She would differ with him and give vent to her anger whenever he married another wife. She would rebel against him and sometimes even incite his other wives to rebellion. She even went as far as to challenge him in relation to some of the Koranic verses which descended upon him from heaven. When, in one of these verses, Allah permitted Mohammed to marry as many women as he wished, she commented, .Allah always responds immediately to your needs..
