In her book, A Treasury of Aishah: A Guidance from the Beloved of the Beloved, Dr. Sofia Rehman compiles 40 of Aishah’s insights and statements in a small and easy-to-read volume.
Most accounts of Aishah's life, the Prophet Mohammad's third wife, have been conducted by men. Rehman can be considered one of the only female scholars who researched Aishah extensively.
Sara Jamshidi talks with Rehman about the slander that Aishah had to endure, her wisdom, her wit, her intellectual capacity, and the Prophet’s believe that Muslims should take half their deen, or religion, from Aishah.

I've been obsessed with eco-friendly, minimal, or what we often call these days: green living. My obsession is not new. I've been invested in this topic as long as I can remember.

Personal story of dropping off a famous scholar because he was incompatible with the mission of our podcast.
Everyone was telling me I must interview 'This Person,' that I do not name him for the sake of anonymity. They said, and I heard, that he is an expert on Iran; he has written more than eight books about Iran and the U.S. relations, he gives lectures about Iran and Islam around the world, he is a renowned Iranian scholar, and teaches in a famous university in New York city. Our editors thought that his fame may help us with traffic and download.
He had a new book focused on Islam and the West. I sought out the opportunity to see if I can feature him on Peacemindedy.

About our guest:
Lisa J. White was a senior instructor of Arabic, and former executive director of CASA, the Center for Arabic Study Abroad at the Arabic Language Institute of the American University in Cairo, where she taught for over thirty years.
About the Book:
We are all married to our bodies, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. As a result, the body is a hard-wired, powerful presence in thought and speech.
Rooted in the Body: Arabic Metaphor and Morphology considers this basic premise of linguistic embodiment and shows how it is especially true of Arabic.
Consciously and unconsciously, speakers of Arabic use reams of vocabulary derived from the body, making it an ideal springboard for a deeper and more nuanced understanding of Arabic morphology.

Yesterday was May 25, 2022, the second anniversary of George Floyds murder. Around the same time, about two years ago, I talked with Shelly Kloba, Democratic Representative of the 1st District at the Washington House of Representatives. We talked about racism, white supremacy, George Floyd killing, and the instruction on how citizens can reach out to politicians.
In this interview, Rep. Kloba explains a few legislatures that she was able to pass in the congress. She focuses on communications between her office and public citizens. She approaches some of our questions from the point of view of a mother, and she tells us what she thinks and feels about racism in the United States.

An abortion is a medical procedure that ends a pregnancy. It is a basic healthcare need for millions of women, girls and others who can become pregnant. Worldwide, an estimate 1 in 4 pregnancies end in an abortion every year, according to Amnesty International.
But while the need for abortion is common, access to safe and legal abortion services is far from guaranteed.
In countries like Iran abortion is illegal. Iranian women conduct unsafe and hidden abortion procedure in private clinics to end their pregnancies.
In this audio oped, Sara Jamshidi compares Iran and the United States of trying to control women’s bodies. In her personal stories, she talks about abortion in Iran and in the United States.

At the age of 18, Mansoor Adayfi left his home in Yemen for a cultural mission to Afghanistan. He never returned. Kidnapped by warlords and then sold to the US after 9/11, he was disappeared to Guantánamo Bay, where he spent the next 14 years as Detainee #441.
Don’t Forget Us Here tells two coming-of-age stories in parallel: a makeshift island outpost becoming the world’s most notorious prison and an innocent young man emerging from its darkness.
Mansour Adayfi is a writer, advocate, and former Guantánamo detainee, held for over 14 years without charges as an enemy combatant. Adayfi was released to Serbia in 2016, where he struggles to make a new life for himself and to shed the designation of a suspected terrorist. He has published several New York Times pieces, including a “Modern Love” column.
Visit our Instagram page to see the beautiful artworks that Mansoor and his inmate friends created during their time in prison.
