[quote]salaam waseem,

I must state that the topic of Mariaa is not one I have given much time to, but I can state something on it based upon other knowledge.

If Muhammad followed the Qur'an, and he did, then he did not have sex with her before marrying her.

I'll give you verse which will help you to see why: -

4 : 25
"And whoso is not able to afford to marry believing chaste/virtuous women, let them 
marry from the believing maids/girls/young women over whom you have authority/responsibility. 
Allah knoweth best (concerning) your faith. Ye (proceed) one from another;  [u]so wed them by permission of their folk (people or family)[/u], and give unto them their portions in kindness,  they being honest, not debauched nor of loose conduct. And if when they are honourably married they commit lewdness/obscenities/vulgarities they shall incur the half of the punishment (prescribed) for believing chaste/virtuous women (in that case). 
[b]This is for him among you who feareth affliction/ to commit sin[/b]. But to have patience would be better for you. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."

+ read ayahs 26 to 28.

(I will only basically discuss this until I get around to writing about it.)

They are girls/young women who you can marry with the permission of their family/people.  (This may be due to the fact that as they are under your authority and care, it is possible they may feel forced or obliged to accept, and so the people or family of the woman is asked also).

‘This is for him among you who feareth to commit sin.’, this is referring to the proviso to marry such maidens, not to the half punishment they are getting.  You get married to keep you from fornication and adultery (i.e., to fulfill your (and her) needs in a lawful manner), this is the sin spoken of in the above quoted phrase.  So if you fear that you may not be able to control yourself long enough to afford to marry believing chaste/virtuous women, then, to avoid the sin of Zina you can marry from the believing maids/girls/young women over whom you have authority/responsibility.

This means that you marry such women to AVOID sinning (i.e., zina).  Whereas many Muslims think the Qur'an states that you can have free sex with Ma Malakat aymanukum.

So basically, I would say that if Muslims claim that Muhammad had sex with a slave, well then they claim that he committed zina.[/quote]
