A young widow, Aisha finds herself at the center of the new Muslim empire and becomes by turns a teacher, political leader, and warrior.
Written in beautiful prose and meticulously researched, Mother of the Believer is the story of an extraordinary woman who was destined to help usher Islam into the world.

astagfurillah this idiot who has written this book does not know that its not the duty of women to dabble in politics or wage war ....and mother of believers aisha like all wives was told to SIT AT HOME , she made a mistake by entering politics and she regretted it all her life.
These modern day feminists know nothing about islam

The novel carefully treads the path which Aisha herself may have influenced, favoring her father's rule, bringing about the fall and death perhaps of Ali (the Prophet's adopted son who at one time called for the Prophet to divorce Aisha), and so much more. The pace of this novel never slackens, with wars, intrigue, betrayal and what seems to be temporary reconciliation among the men and women in the Prophet's world.

more scandalous reporting of early islamic history , mr STONECOLD why are u promoting such filthy books
Re: Mother of the believers-Aisha ra
I am not promoting this book. I just wanted opinions on the book. I am an avid book reader and was just wondering if i should read this book or not. As this book is written in first person i was a bit cautious about reading it.....
Re: Mother of the believers-Aisha ra
^ well u have mine
it seems like a mernissi kinda feminist agenda ...otherwise mothers of faithful only role is to impart religious knowledge and stay in their homes....leave the politics and wars to men
