Critical Review of the Article "Aisha" in the Leiden Encyclopedia of the Quran
Message:
Abstract:
The article “ʿĀʾisha bint Abī Bakr” by the American Islamicist scholar is Denise Spellberg, has been published in the Leiden Encyclopedia of the Qurʾān In this article, she discusses two cases of ʿĀʾisha‟s acquittal from adultery (ifk) and makes the Battle of Jamal the main focus of her research in deciphering ʿĀʾisha‟s personality, and then proceeds to analyze each one of these. The article under review has several strengths and weaknesses Through the interpretation she gives for the term „Mother of the Believers‟ (umm al-muʾminīn) and with reference to Q33:33, she states that Muslim women [have been instructed that they] should stay in their homes She adds that due to ʿĀʾisha‟s participation in the first civil war in Islam (the Battle of Jamal), women [have been instructed that they] should avoid political positions Furthermore, she claims that the Shīʿah did not believe in ʿĀʾisha‟s chastity and left the way open for her accusers. The existence of such claims in the articles of the Leiden Encyclopedia of the Qurʾān obligates Muslim scholars of the Qurʾān to respond and assert the correct views of Islam in this regard. In the present paper, while presenting the main points of the article, the author‟s views are critiqued and answered based on proof from Shīʿī and Sunnī sources Initially, a brief introduction of Spellberg and her works is made and after analyzing the contents of his article, the most important claims of the author have been reviewed and critiqued.
