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