Was Prophet Muhammad's wife a Christian?

Answer 1

Muhammad was the founder of Islam, and lived from 570 CE to 632 CE. He had multiple marriages, and these have been the focus of great interest to many, Muslim and infidel alike. The one very often seen as most controversial is his marriage to his close friend's nine-year-old daughter, Aisha bin Abu Bakr.

Answer 2

Prophet Muhammad pbuh had 13 wives. Of course he didn't marry them all at one time. They are:

Khadijah bint Khuwaylid

Sawda bint Zama

Aisha bint Abi Bakr

Hafsa bint Omar

Zaynab bint Khuzayma

Umm Salama Hind bint Abi Umayya

Zaynab bint Jahsh

Juwayriya bint al-Harith

Ramlah bint Abi-Sufyan

Rayhana bint Amr ibn Khunafa

Maria al-Qibtiyya

Answer 3

Muhammad had a Coptic slave who was a Christian; her name was Maria Qupthiya (in arabic: Mariyah al-Qibbtiyya) who was the mother of his son Ibrahim who died in infancy. There is debate as to whether or not she was actually his wife, or just a concubine.
