My Soul is Woman
Jiwa Wanita, yang duduk di istana tubuh, melepas cadarnya dan berlari mendatangi cintanya.—Diwan 1198 Mengapa substansi jiwa identik dengan wanita? Setelah melakukan eksplorasi ke hampir seluruh literatur mistik—terutama syair-syair indah para sufi—penulis buku menarik ini berujar lirih, “Dalam semua karya itu, pola dasarnya tetap sama: jiwa, yang diwakili dan diwujudkan dalam bentuk seorang wanita, berkelana melalui jalan yang sempit dan sulit untuk menjumpai sang kekasih. Syair-syair itu malah kadang-kadang mengambil identitas feminin. Mereka menyeru pada ‘kawan-kawan’ (wanita) mereka ….” Berpijak pada konsep seperti itu, Annemarie Schimmel, yang menghabiskan lebih dari 5 dekade hidupnya untuk mempelajari Islam, menganalisis salah satu aspek yang banyak dibahas (dan disalahpahami) dalam Islam; peran wanita. Schimmel mengkritisi para feminis Barat yang menghakimi Islam tanpa meluangkan waktu untuk memahami budaya, bahasa, dan tradisi berbagai masyarakat tempat Islam berkembang. Melalui buku ini, Schimmel menghancurkan stereotip tentang wanita Islam, menunjukkan berbagai teladan dalam Islam tentang kesetaraan wanita, pemikiran Nabi Muhammad, Al-Quran, dan bahasa feminin tradisi sufistik. “Sungguh sebuah buku yang wajib dibaca oleh kaum feminis atau pemerhati masalah feminisme!”—Republika

An internationally acclaimed scholar, who has dedicated more than fifty years of her life to understanding the Islamic world.Annemarie Schimmel examines a much-misunderstood feature of Islam: the role of women. Schimmel is critical of those--especially Western feminists--who take Islam to task without taking the time to comprehend the cultures, language, and traditions of the many societies in which Islam is the majority religion.Shattering stereotypes, Schimmel reconstructs an important but little-known chapter of Islamic spirituality. With copius examples, she shows the clear equality of women and meni nthe conception of the Prophet Muhammad, the Quran, the feminine language of the mystical tradition, and the role of holy mothers and unmarried women as manifestations of God.This work is studded with luminous texts from Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and particularly Indo-Muslim cultures, which reveal how physical love can give expression to the highest forms of mysticism.
Healing the Soul of a Woman
Can a woman who has been deeply hurt by life's circumstances be healed, heart and soul? If she has been wounded by a man she loved and trusted, can she love and trust again? As a woman who endured years of abuse, abandonment, and betrayal by those closest to her, Joyce Meyer can answer with a resounding "yes!" Meyer's positivity comes from living her own journey, and from seeing so many women who don't believe they can fully overcome their pain-or even know where to begin-find the guidance they need in the life-changing wisdom of the Bible. Meyer's bestseller Beauty for Ashes told of her personal story of healing. Now, with the passage of more time, HEALING THE SOUL OF A WOMAN delves deeper into Joyce's story and the journey of healing for all women. Each chapter guides you through whatever obstacles may be holding you back to find your true destiny as God's beloved. God can heal all pain, and He wants to do this in you. Let HEALING THE SOUL OF A WOMAN be the first step toward the wonderful, joyful future God intends for you.
