Description:
born 614, Mecca, Arabia (now in Saudi Arabia); died July 678, Medina.
The third and most favoured wife of the Prophet Muhammad (the founder of Islam).
When Muhammad died in 632, 'A'ishah was left a childless widow of 18. She remained politically inactive until the time of 'Uthman; the third caliph, or leader of the Islamic community), during whose reign she played an important role in fomenting opposition that led to his murder in 656. She led an army against his successor, 'Ali, but was defeated in the Battle of the Camel. The engagement derived its name from the fierce fighting that centred around the camel upon which 'A'ishah was mounted. Captured, she was allowed to live quietly in Medina.
