Description

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.

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. Her book based on this thesis is entitled, Gendering the Hadith Tradition: Recentering the Authority of Aisha, Mother of the Believers (Oxford University Press). 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. 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.This collection of 40 statements is a glimpse into the illuminating guidance she offers the whole Muslim community, and indeed beyond. 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. This book deviates from the traditional trappings of so many books on women in Islam that merely stress the importance of obedience, chastity and child-raising.

A Treasury of Aishah is destined to become a cornerstone in every Muslim household's library, making it a highly recommended treasure to be shared with friends and family. 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.

This book compiles 40 of her insights and statements in the categories of Quranic exegesis (tafsir), Jurisprudence (Fiqh), Theology (aqidah), Politics (siyasah) and Heart Softeners (al-raqaiq) with commentary for the contemporary Muslim seeking spiritual and moral direction as they traverse through daily life and its challenges and possibilities. The woman, regardless of what she did, was a disbeliever and the believer is more honoured in the Sight of Allah than that He punish him or her regarding a cat, so when you narrate from the Prophet ponder and think carefully of how you narrate. Mernissi also attacks Abu Hurayra and by extension the science of hadith, and has said in her work “even the authentic Hadith must be vigilantly examined with a magnifying glass. 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.
