review 1: Mother of the Believers tells the story of Aisha one of the wives of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam who was a brilliant statesman, in both the political and military arenas. The book follows the years of her childhood and her marriage with the prophet and covers the years of the religions earliest conception and its rise to power. Its followers faced many hardships and prejudices but would eventually rise to power through the leadership of the prophet and the strong band of faithful followers he had behind him.Aisha's life was not one of ease filled with luxury, and riches, the prophet expected his wives to give most of their belongings to the poor and to be examples to the people, and years into the marriage his harem of wives were expected to take up the veil and be se... moreparated from any men except close male relatives and the prophet himself; which was hard for Aisha to adjust to when she was used to freedom but was something she grew accustomed to. Aisha goes through many hard times as the story unfolds, and even though this was quite a large book it was not one I wanted to put down. Learning about the different customs, beliefs, and traditions of a different religion and culture was very interesting for me, and the way in which the author wrote the story itself was lyrical and beautiful.Aisha's life is one that women of today can look at and still relate to, in that we are all struggling to do the best that we can with the gifts that we are given, and in the time that we live and to serve our God/live out our spiritual beliefs in the best way we can through helping others.
review 2: Karya fiksi yang dibuat dengan bereferensikan pada sumber-sumber literatur sejarah Islam. Menceritakan tentang kehidupan Nabi Muhammad SAW dari sisi pandangan Aisyah, istrinya. Ceritanya sangat menyentuh, seakan-akan saya juga merasakan apa yang dirasakan oleh Aisyah saat itu. Buku ini menceritakan semenjak Aisyah masih kecil. Saat itu khadijah masih dengan setia mendampingi Rasul melewati masa-masa sulit saat penyebaran Agama Islam di Mekkah. Hingga akhirnya Khadijah meninggal, dan Rasul menikahi saudah, dan kemudian Aisyah. Kemudian Aisyah mulai mendampingi Rasul saat penyebaran Agama Islam yang dimulai di madinah. Bagaimana Beliau membangun bangsa yang bersatu, yang sebelumnya hanyalah bangsa Arab yang tercerai berai mengelompok pada masing-masing klan nya. Hingga akhirnya jumlah umat Islam sangat banyak, hingga lahir suatu imperium. Beliau adalah sosok yang Luar biasa, yang dapat memimpin perang dengan strategi yang baik, yang dapat menyatukan umat dan membentuk bangsa yang kuat. Akan tetapi saat beliau mangkat, ancaman terpecah belahnya umat mulai muncul. Kepemimpinan saat itu digantikan oleh para khalifah Abu Bakar, Umar bin Khattab, Ustman bin Affan, Ali bin Abu Tholib. Banyak tragedi yang muncul saat pemerintahan masing-masing khalifah. Walau ini hanyalah cerita fiksi, pada akhir tulisan, penulis menegaskan bahwa karya fiksi ini didasarkan pada literatur sejarah Islam. Dan penulis juga menyebutkan beberapa referensi yang dia andalkan dalam penulisan buku ini. less
