About the author
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. Her book based on
this thesis is entitled, Gendering the Hadith Tradition: Recentering the
Authority of Aisha, Mother of the Believers (Oxford University Press). She
is a committed 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. She has also contributed to a number of anthologies including Cut
From the Same Cloth? 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).
