Ayesha

by Naima Sohaib

Ayesha (RA) was a beloved wife of the Prophet Muhammad. Born in the cradle of Islam and having spent her early years in the constant company of the Prophet, she dedicated her life to the cause of Islam. She was deeply familiar with the personality and Sunnah of the Prophet, and this made her a fountain of knowledge and wisdom regarding his life and actions. Many companions of the Prophet came to her to learn about the Quran and Hadith. She is also a wonderful role model for Muslim women of all times, demonstrating to them how to lead a productive life both inside and outside their homes. In the words of Syed Suleman “The biggest favour of Ayesha upon mankind is that she taught the world how a Muslim woman could, within the limits of the veil, play an active role in intellectual, religious, social, and political life. Islam has granted women a high status and has elevated them from their previously downtrodden position. The life story of Ayesha (RA) is a practical implementation of the kind of life that a woman should lead within an Islamic framework.”

i think that naima is criminally underrated. i’ve stalked her goodreads and the amount of reviews she has is concerning.

this woman is researching and pouring her knowledge into every book and it’s free on kobo. masyallah, she has 20 books that are all full of knowledge and are free.

may allah bless her.

anyways, this book has made ayesha radiya’ illhu anhu a role model in my daily life. this book provides information to ayesha, (radiya illahu anhu) and how she’s a huge part of islam. masyallah, i strive to be like her.

please do read this book, it’s not 45 pages long yet so eloquent. she disseminate islamic information so beautifully masyallah.

may allah bless her 🤍🤍

Pas baca-baca tentang Aisyah, ada bagian yang bikin aku ketawa ketawa sendiri saking relate-nya. Ternyata Aisyah bukanlah sosok yang piawai memasak! 😂

Bahkan yang paling kocak, pernah tuh Aisyah ketiduran pas lagi bikin adonan. Eh begitu kebangun, udah ada sekawanan domba yang masuk rumahnya dan makan adonan gandum yang baru saja Aisyah bulat-bulatkan!

Kebayang gak siih betapa paniknya 🤣

Namun tanpa kehandalan memasaknya pun Aisyah tetap mengerahkan segenap potensinya untuk peradaban Islam.

Aisyah paling dikenal kontribusinya dalam bidang hadits. Namun sebenarnya Aisyah juga menguasai syair, fikih, akidah, syariah, sejarah bangsa Arab, hingga pengobatan!

Sepeninggal Rasulullah, sah-sah saja jika Aisyah tinggal di rumah dan menghabiskan waktunya untuk diri sendiri.

Namun, karena menyadari betapa besar privilesenya sebagai istri Rasulullah, Aisyah mendedikasikan hidupnya untuk membagikan ilmu yang selama ini langsung ia pelajari dari Rasulullah kepada kaum muslimin dengan mengajar di rumahnya.

Dari Aisyah kita belajar, bahwa tak perlu menjadi sosok yang sempurna untuk mempersembahkan penghambaan yang sempurna 🤗💜

Any woman hater who claims to be a Muslim should read this book and rethink their backward positions.

The preachiness about the ways of the world take away from the lesson
