Seeking ‘Ilm and Motherhood Maryam bint ‘Abdul Qadir rahimahullah was a copywriter (ناسخة). Women would take on the work of scribing religious books and the Quran alongside men. (please take note that this does not mean free mixing, it means doing the same work as men in terms of scribing religious knowledge) She is said to be one of the ’Ālimāt (women scholars) of the 6th Century after Hijri. She worked on the copywriting of an Arabic dictionary. “At the end of the work a poignant phrase was written.” Maryam bint ‘Abdul Qadir (rahmatullah ’alayha) said: “Please forgive me if you find a mistake in this book, because when I was writing with my right hand I was rocking my son to sleep with my left" [Narrated by Abdul Wahid Al-Marrākeshi from Andalusia (d. 647 AH)] ➡️@womensbenefits
