Muhammed (PBUH) wife, Ayesha, was one of the most prominent figures in early Islam. Considered one of the best scholars of Islamic jurisprudence during her lifetime, Ayesha preached Jumuah sermons in the Prophet's Masjid, led soldiers into battle and enjoyed major political influence in the Rashidun Caliphate. Indeed her role as a figure of leadership outshone many of the male Sahabah (companions) of the Prophet.
Hypothetically could circumstances occur in which Ayesha assumes the role of Caliph? What could the implications be for the Rashidun Caliphate and the wider Muslim world? On the other hand, could there be any other historical Muslim women that could hold such a position?
