Biography of Aisha Abdurrahman Bewley

Dekhti Aankhooon aur sountay kaanoon ko Asslamoalaikum, sisters, brothers friends and elders, in informative series videos of Islamic Women ascolars, sufisaints, cultural heritages, islamic philosophys, islamic mysticisms and historical women figures. today we are describing biography of Aisha Abdurrahman Bewley.

Aisha Abdurrahman Bewley was born in 1948 in the United States of America, and later embraced Islam, becoming one of the most respected female Muslim scholars and translators in the English-speaking world. Drawn to Islamic spirituality and traditional scholarship in the late 1960s, she embarked on a lifelong journey of study, travel, and devotion. Her quest for Islamic knowledge led her to study Arabic and Islamic sciences in various Muslim countries, including Egypt and Morocco. Her spiritual and academic journey was also influenced by her affiliation with the Darqawi-Shadhili Sufi order, particularly under the guidance of the renowned scholar and Sufi, Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi (formerly Ian Dallas), to whom she was married. Through this deep connection, she gained not only spiritual training but also a scholarly foundation rooted in classical Islamic tradition.

Aisha Bewley is best known for her prolific work as a translator and author. Her most significant contributions include English translations of foundational Islamic texts that have made traditional knowledge accessible to non-Arabic-speaking Muslims around the world. Among her most widely recognized works is the English translation of “The Noble Qur’an: A New Rendering of its Meaning in English”, which she co-translated with her husband. This translation is noted for its faithfulness to classical tafsir (interpretation) and linguistic clarity. She has also translated critical works of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), spirituality (tasawwuf), and prophetic traditions (hadith), including "Ash-Shifa" by Qadi ‘Iyad, "The Muwatta of Imam Malik", and many more. Her scholarly style combines precision with accessibility, bridging the gap between classical Islamic scholarship and contemporary readers.

Beyond her translations, Aisha Abdurrahman Bewley has written original works on Islam that reflect her deep understanding of the religion and her commitment to reviving its authentic teachings. Her writings often focus on key areas such as Islamic belief (‘aqidah), the lives of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions, and the application of Islamic law in modern contexts. She has also been an outspoken advocate for the return to traditional Islamic values in education and community life. Living for many years in Morocco, she became part of a vibrant intellectual and spiritual community dedicated to Islamic revival and da‘wah (invitation to Islam). Her voice continues to influence both converts and born Muslims seeking a more grounded and scholarly approach to their faith.

As of today, Aisha Abdurrahman Bewley is still alive and continues her work, though now with less public activity due to age and health. She is believed to be residing in Morocco, where she has spent much of her life engaged in teaching, writing, and supporting scholarly circles. Since she is still living, her legacy is firmly established in the form of her numerous books, translations, and the many students who have benefited from her work across generations and continents. Her efforts to bring classical Islamic knowledge into the modern world in an accessible and authentic manner make her one of the most influential English-speaking Muslim women scholars of the 20th and 21st centuries. Through her scholarship, Aisha Bewley has left an enduring mark on the landscape of contemporary Islamic learning.

With this, we ask for your permission until tomorrow and tomorrow we will narrate biography of Dr. Amina Inloes. Finally, we pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act on the Quran and Hadith, Amen.
