Description

This book compiles 40 of her insights and statements in the categories of Qur’anic exegesis (tafsīr), Jurisprudence (Fiqh), Theology (ʿaqīdah), Politics (siyāsah) and Heart Softeners (al-raqā’iq) with commentary for the contemporary Muslim seeking spiritual and moral direction as they traverse through daily life and its challenges and possibilities. From lessons on humility to anger management, the scope of the Hadith transmitted by ‘A’ishah is vast, while the language they are communicated and discussed in is colloquial and relatable. I remember wishing I had an extra hour on the train to reflect on everything I read and how it can apply to my life. A short and easy read, consisting of 40 collections of hadith/sayings narrated by Aisha (ra), each followed with brief reminders.

Whoever seeks Allah’s Pleasure by incurring the wrath of the people, Allah will suffice for him as a support against the people, and whoever seeks the pleasure of the people by incurring the wrath of Allah, then Allah leaves this person to the people. Sofia notably points out A’ishah’s tendency to “safeguard against an excessive attitude towards religious rights and rituals, which, if one becomes too prescriptive in regarding, can become a distraction from the spiritual activity at hand. iq) with commentary for the contemporary Muslim seeking spiritual and moral direction as they traverse through daily life and its challenges and possibilities.Dr Sofia Rehman has compiled the insights of Aishah bint Abu Bakr into categories of Tafsir, Fiqh, Aqidah, Siyasah, and Al-raqa'iq. A woman entered the fire of Hell because of a cat she had tied up and did not feed, nor did she give it water.

Hailed as a guiding light, a fount of wisdom and a purveyor of the Prophetic mission, Aisha’s words have illuminated Islamic thought in all its branches. My son will also be reading as we keep telling him of all the insightful information that is in this little book. Muslim Women on Life in Britain edited by Sabeena Akhtar (Unbound), Mapping Faith: Theologies of Migration edited by Lia Shimada (Jessica Kingsley), and Violent Phenomena: 21 Essays on Translation edited by Kavita Bhanot and Jeremy Tiang (Tilted Axis).It gives you a very clear understanding about Aisha (may Allah be please with her) and the important role she played at a time where men dominated society.

This book compiles 40 of her insights and statements in the categories of Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir), Jurisprudence (Fiqh), Theology ('aqidah), Politics (siyasah) and Heart Softeners (al-raqa'iq) with commentary for the contemporary Muslim seeking spiritual and moral direction as they traverse through daily life and its challenges and possibilities. The hadiths are accompanied by Sofia’s commentary, which often addresses the problems with past, and present-day patriarchal attitudes that have been paraded as “religion. Through her collection of hadith, Sofia centralises ‘A’ishah as a figure who is both pious and empowered, and doesn’t think twice before correcting male companions (quite frequently Abu Hurayrah) when she feels they have misspoken in the Prophet’s name. I particularly enjoyed reading ‘A’ishah’s correction of a hadith pertaining to the purification “ghusl” shower. I love how Dr Rehman has divided the book into the different areas in which Aishah RA made contributions, such as aqeedah, tafseer, Hadith, and heart softeners.

Hailed as a guiding light, a fount of wisdom and a purveyor of the Prophetic mission, Aishas words have illuminated Islamic thought in all its branches. With each anecdote illustrating Aishah's exemplary conduct, Rehman first presents the primary source, delving then into an elaborate exploration of how Aishah's wisdom and compassion enriched the underlying subject matter. There was an unsubstantiated underlying accusation of misogyny towards some of the male companions, and Abu Hurayra (ra) is presented as someone questionable who can’t be trusted, casting a shadow on the character of the most prolific hadith narrator.

However, all of the above are fairly mild and we were able to catch them simply due to our book club's extensive prior readings of both Rehman and other authors she cites. Most of our PDFs are also available to download and we're working on making the final remaining ones downloadable now. This is not surprising as Sofia Rehman sites Mernissi in this book, and seems to be influenced by her. Biography: Dr Sofia Rehman is an independent scholar of Islam trained both traditionally in Syria, Tukey and Wales, and through academia whose PhD focused on the statements of Aisha Bint Abi Bakr as recorded in the work of the 14th century scholar, Imam al-Zarkashi.

The sub-title 'Guidance from the Beloved of the Beloved' encapsulates the beauty of the book and provides the reader with the opportunity to gain immense learning by exploring the importance of female scholarship. What truly sets this literary masterpiece apart is Rehman’s ability to convey both the narrative and comprehensive analysis within a concise space. Divided into six chapters, this book pays homage to Aishah's profound impact on various facets of Islamic teachings and historical narratives. At times, for example, she might be commenting on a particular Hadith and then breaks the fourth wall and addresses the reader directly and makes a du’a.
