A Treasury of A’ishah. By: Dr. Sofia Rehman. Original Copy Published By: Kube Publishing.
About the Book:
A’ishah Bint Abu Bakr رضي اللّه عنها has been an inspiration and paragon for Muslims since the first generation of Believers emerged. Hailed as a guiding light, a fount of wisdom and a purveyor of the prophetic mission, A’ishah’s words have illuminated Islamic thought in all its branches. 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.

Dr. Sofia Rehman is an independent scholar of Islam trained both traditionally in Syria, Turkey and Wales, and through academia whose PhD focused on the statements of A’ishah Bint Abu Bakr as recorded in the work of the 14th century scholar, Imam al-Zarkashi. Her book based on this thesis is entitled, Gendering the Hadith Tradition: Recentering the Authority of A’ishah, Mother of the Believers “Oxford University Press”. She is an advocate of bridging the gap between academic scholarship on Islam and the wider Muslim community, setting up critical reading groups and workshops with global reach to facilitate learning, curiosity and spiritual empowerment.
