Disputed issues in the early Islamic history

There are a number of uncertainties and disputed issues in the early Islamic history.

Introduction

Most of these disputes can be traced to Shi'a-Sunni disagreements. Shi'a often argue that history has been distorted to further a Banu Umayyad agenda. In many cases, complications with the historiography of early Islam have also resulted in lack of consensus within denominations of Islam.

List

Some of them include:

*The date of birth of Muhammad
*The date of Muhammad's death
*The age at which Khadija married Muhammad (25-40 years)
*The date of birth of Fatimah (±10 years)
*The marriage in which three of Khadijas three daughters where born in, see Genealogy of Khadijas daughters.
*The number of marriages Khadija was in before marrying Muhammad (0-2 marriages).
*The year of the prohibition of Nikah Mut'ah.
*Date of birth of Aisha (6-14 years).
*Identity of the second wife of Muhammad (Sawda or Aish'a)
*Disputes over the identity of the "Umm Khulthum" that married Umar (bint Ali, Bint Abu Bakr or a third).
*The existence of Fatimahs third son, Muhsin ibn Ali.
