I believe that this crucial point you make is what people so frequently miss: "They remind later generations that the message was not only spoken. It was inhabited." We are meant to INHABIT the teachings of these sacred messengers. If we don't try to habituate their teachings, then we have missed the whole point.
Thank you for this. I appreciate learning more about Islam. I also thought about how wives or domestic help are silenced because they do have the front row seat of when the message is NOT inhabited. Oh to be a fly on the wall!
I love this. I also think it’s deeper than witnessing, it’s understanding. Women know things internally, namely the interconnectedness of all life. I know more about Mary and not enough about Aisha but she received the deepest teachings of Jesus. She ‘saw’ because she also knew.
Waking up to this is as if someone gently pulled the curtains open & at itz own pace, ever so gently but firmly,, the sun’s rays came sneaking in to warm, shed light, soothing, delicious, and whisper unknown truths filling your soul & mind & body with the essence & energy of two women who are the partners & witnesses of 2 men who inspired 2 major religions that are still alive & kicking & maybe wouldn’t be were it not for Magdalene & Aisha. I can;t just read this once. Not because my memory is losing itz sharpness but because I WANT to & NEED to in order to absorb & really feel & HONOR the women who made what happened with spiritual truths & ways of living that rocked the world by 2 men who are revered & have worldwide followings to this day. This is opening my eyes & heart & soul to so much truth I never knew & know now I needed. And wanted. Thank you for sharing this gift - more of Magdalene & for me, the introduction to Aisha & Muhammad’s life. 🫶✝️☪️💞

I had not heard of Aisha. I love how you brought out the authority both women carried of personal observation.
