How can one deal with a person who insults the Companions and the Islamic conquests and the marriage of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and denies religious texts that do not conform to his intellect, and spreads his poisonous ideas in society?

Many young people have been influenced by the ideas of orientalists and their disciples who hold university degrees. They promote false ideas, are ignorant of the truth of Islam, its Prophet, and its history, and adopt the misconceptions taught to them by their masters to become tools for undermining Islam. Among these misconceptions is the marriage of the Prophet, peace be upon him, to Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her. This is refuted by the fact that Aisha was an adult, and the age difference has no bearing in Islamic law. If there were any flaw in it, the enemies of Islam would not have remained silent about it. As for resorting to reason in matters where it has no place and rejecting divine revelation, this is a mistake, because Allah created reason for understanding revelation, and sound revelation cannot contradict sound reason. As for the enemies' distortion of Islamic conquests by describing them as an Arab invasion, this stems from their enmity towards the religion and their attempts to distort it. We advise steadfastness and inviting these individuals with wisdom and good counsel. And whoever insists on describing the Prophet's marriage to Aisha as a shameful marriage, this is apostasy.
