About this deal

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. 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.

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

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. 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. 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.

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. My son will also be reading as we keep telling him of all the insightful information that is in this little book. A short and easy read, consisting of 40 collections of hadith/sayings narrated by Aisha (ra), each followed with brief reminders.

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 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.

This is not surprising as Sofia Rehman sites Mernissi in this book, and seems to be influenced by her. 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 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.Aishah is considered to be one of the greatest scholars, providing insights into the Prophet's actions. 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. 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. 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. Through a curated selection of 40 statements made by ‘A’ishah, Sofia offers an intimate portrayal of one of the most prolific women in Islamic history - whom she has devoted years to studying.
