Rabi‘a al-‘Adawiyya lived in eighth-century Basra. According to the stories, she was born poor, sold into slavery, freed, and spent her life in prayer, refusing marriage and money. She is credited with a radical idea: that God should be loved for God’s own sake, not out of fear of hell or hope of paradise. This book asks what we can really know about her, since her life reaches us through later writers, and how a woman with a few reported sayings became one of the most loved figures in Sufism.
