It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah married me when I was six, and consummated the marriage with me when I was nine, and I used to play with dolls".
The Prophet Muhammad set an example for all Muslims to follow in terms of how to treat children with respect and kindness, even if their age may not be considered appropriate for certain activities or responsibilities according to modern standards. He showed us that we should always strive to protect our children from harm while also allowing them some freedom within reasonable limits so they can grow up into healthy adults who are able to make their own decisions in life.
