Women of Sufism: A Hidden Treasure selected and introduced by Camille Adams Helminski, brings us the writings and stories of mystic poets, scholars, and saints, all of whom are women. This book is itself a treasure as we follow the stories of so many exemplary Muslim women from the time of Prophet Muhammead (saws) up to the present day. Not only do we read their histories but here we can also read excerpts of what they themselves wrote. These women, whose lives take us through many centuries and all around the world, are inspiring and encouraging for our lives today. Whether in Damascus or Madinah, Nigeria, Palestine, Europe, or the USA, it is uplifting to hear how they turned their hearts fully to Allah (swt) and engaged in helping their communities in diverse ways. There are more than 50 biographies in this book and each illustrates the unique contribution that Muslim sisters have given to the ummah. Alhamdulillah!

Mary the Blessed Virgin of Islam by Aliah Schleifer

“The reasons for the importance of Mary as a spiritual figure in Islam are detailed in this volume, providing traditional scholarly discussions about Mary’s life and her characteristics of devotion and piety” This study is written with scholarly vigour and thoroughly examines early debate and study on Hz. Maryam. It is a pleasure to read and there is a great deal worth learning. Aliah Schleifer has achieved an important study here and also reminds us that Hz. Maryam is also as a bridge for dialogue with Christians.
