Product Information

What truly sets this literary masterpiece apart is Rehman’s ability to convey both the narrative and comprehensive analysis within a concise space. Most of our PDFs are also available to download and we're working on making the final remaining ones downloadable now. 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.

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. Whether derived from her learnings with the revered Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) or those unattributed to him, witnessing Aishah's heartfelt selection and the reasons behind it was truly moving. 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. 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. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.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. 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. There is so much about Aisha (RA) that I did not know despite reading about her life over the years. My son will also be reading as we keep telling him of all the insightful information that is in this little book. 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.

Aisha bint Abu Bakr (RA) has been an inspiration and paragon for Muslims since the first generation of Believers emerged.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.

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.

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. 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.
