Aisha (RA) is one of the great hadith narrators who kept the speech of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (PBUH), alive by memorizing his words during his lifetime and teaching them to others after his death. The narration of prophetic speech is among one of the most important tasks in Islam. Without the preservation of prophetic speech, each generation would be more and more confused as to what it means to live an ethical and moral life in accordance with the pleasure of God. Join us as we learn more about the legacy of scholarship set forward by our mother, 'Aisha (RA). Ustadha Nuriddeen Knight will be speaking on her book, "40 Hadith of Our Mother 'Aisha", an English compilation of 40 sayings (hadith) from the Prophet Muhammad, peace to him narrated by 'Aisha (RA), may God be pleased with her. Nuriddeen Knight completed an MA in psychology with a focus on child and family from Columbia University. Alongside her academic degree, she studied traditional Islamic knowledge including Islamic law, theology, spirituality and prophetic biography with local scholars and in the majalis in Amman, Jordan.
