Description

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. 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.

The commentary written by Rehman really captures the essence of Aishah's character and how her narrations can be translated and applied to our daily life. 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. My son will also be reading as we keep telling him of all the insightful information that is in this little book. Her book based on this thesis is entitled, Gendering the Hadith Tradition: Recentering the Authority of Aisha, Mother of the Believers (Oxford University Press). I love that the book also addresses a modern-day Muslim readership, with phrases like “throwing shade” and discussions on the dangers of the clout-chasing, “snap-caption-post-repeat” lifestyle that focuses so much on “filtering” life at the risk of neglecting the states of our hearts.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.

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. 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).This collection of 40 statements is a glimpse into the illuminating guidance she offers the whole Muslim community, and indeed beyond. 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.

I hope that it lands as a book of comfort, generosity and welcome for those who are seeking meaning and guidance.

Sofia Rehman sheds light on the significance of our lived experiences as Muslim women in relation to how we understand and practice our faith, and each chapter is engaging and beautifully written. An introduction to one of the most admired women in Islamic history with accompanying commentaries, presented in a beautiful gift format. As we say in Arabic, "البلاغة في الإيجاز" (the art of eloquent brevity), Rehman masterfully achieves this throughout the diverse sections.

iq) with commentary for the contemporary Muslim seeking spiritual and moral direction as they traverse through daily life and its challenges and possibilities. 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. 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. 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).

This is not surprising as Sofia Rehman sites Mernissi in this book, and seems to be influenced by her. The hard work Sofia Rehman has put into the beautiful and relatable interpretation of the Hadiths is outstanding. A short and easy read, consisting of 40 collections of hadith/sayings narrated by Aisha (ra), each followed with brief reminders. 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.
