Product Information

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. 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. An introduction to one of the most admired women in Islamic history with accompanying commentaries, presented in a beautiful gift format.

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. A Treasury of ‘A’ishah” by Sofia Rehman is no less than a treasure when it comes to literature on the Beloved wife of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). 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. bint Abu Bakr (RA) has been an inspiration and paragon for Muslims since the first generation of Believers emerged.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. Aisha bint Abu Bakr (RA) has been an inspiration and paragon for Muslims since the first generation of Believers emerged.

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.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). I particularly enjoyed reading ‘A’ishah’s correction of a hadith pertaining to the purification “ghusl” shower. 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. Most of our PDFs are also available to download and we're working on making the final remaining ones downloadable now.

I am very grateful to the author for not presenting our Beloved mother only as an obedient and submissive wife of the Prophet (SAW) but also as a woman with immense faith in God, confidence, conviction and an abundance of love. 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. 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.

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.
