Rabi'a From Narrative to Myth
Rabi‘a al-‘Adawiyya is a figure shrouded in myth. Certainly a woman by this name was born in Basra, Iraq, in the eighth century, but her life remains recorded only in legends, stories, poems and hagiographies. The various depictions of her – as a deeply spiritual ascetic, an existentialist rebel and a romantic lover – seem impossible to reconcile, and yet Rabi‘a has transcended these narratives to become a global symbol of both Sufi and modern secular culture. In this groundbreaking study, Rkia Elaroui Cornell traces the development of these diverse narratives and provides a history of the iconic Rabi‘a’s construction as a Sufi saint. Combining medieval and modern sources, including evidence never before examined, in novel ways, Rabi‘a From Narrative to Myth is the most significant work to emerge on this quintessential figure in Islam for more than seventy years.
Rabi'a The Mystic and her Fellow-Saints in Islam
For centuries there has been fascination, within and beyond the Islamic world, with the mystical teachings of Sufism, and with the role of the Islamic 'saints' whose life and work were important to Islamic theology. Margaret Smith's classic work, Rabi'a the Mystic, describes the teaching, life and times of one of the great women of the Islamic tradition, Rabi'a of Basra. This study has never been bettered. It is now reissued unchanged, but with a new introduction by Professor Annemarie Schimmel. This emphasises the importance of the book - and of Rabi'a herself - and questions of major importance today: the nature of mystical belief and experience, the Sufi tradition, and the role of women in the Islamic world.

The Legendary Life and Poetry of Islam's First Woman Sufi Saint Rabia Al-Adawiyya:
Monte's literary criticism approaches three different accounts about Islam's acclaimed first female Sufi Saint Rabia al-Adawiyya, and analyzes the development of her legend according to the surrounding historical and religious factors of her historians. Monte argues that these factors conditioned the retelling of Rabia's legend, a story that began with her name and flourished into a popular Muslim account of spiritual strength and societal defiance to empower Islamic women and men. Although one cannot assure why the earliest biographers chose to pass on Rabia's story, each of these male authors acted as a feminist Prometheus, that is, the spark of Rabia al-Adawiyya was breathed into the Musl...
Air Mata Siti Hajar
SITI HAJAR – Rasa cintanya terhadap Ibrahim sangat mendalam. Meskipun dimusuhi Khadijah… Hajar tetap mampu bertahan kerana ALLAH sentiasa melindunginya. ILAH itu dekat dengannya, lebih hampir daripada urat merihnya sendiri. IBRAHIM – Tidak diragui sama sekali, cintanya terhadap Hajar menggunung tinggi. Namun sayang, dia berlaku tidak adil tatkala mengadili konflik antara Hajar dan adiknya, Khadijah. Akibatnya, sang isteri asyik menjeruk hati. Namun, rasa cinta Ibrahim berubah sejak kehadiran Sarah. Dia kasihkan Hajar tetapi tidak mampu menidakkan kesetiaan Sarah terhadapnya. Hajar pula, sudah tidak berdaya mempertahankan cintanya lagi. Kata-kata Aisyah mungkin ada benarnya. Cinta Hajar kepada Ibrahim selama ini bukanlah kerana ALLAH. Buktinya jelas. Hajar tidak mampu menerima hakikat hidup bermadu. Ada, tetapi… Hajar bukanlah gerangannya.
