Aisha Bewley has been – and continues to be – a world-renowned and accomplished translator of classical Islamic literature. After converting to Islam in 1968, she spent over five decades learning everything she could about Islam. She graduated with an MA in Near Eastern Languages from the University of California at Berkley and continued her studies at the American University in Cairo. Since graduating, Bewley has worked tirelessly to make Islamic literature available to the English-speaking Muslim community.

Aisha is one of today's most prolific translators of classical Arabic works into English. She is not only learned in the Arabic language but also well versed in the basic meanings and nature of the teachings and history of Islam.  This is evident as she was awarded the title of Muslim Woman of the Year after being recognised for her immense work and contributions to Islamic scholarship. Most notable of all, Bewley has translated The Noble Qur’an in collaboration with her husband. She has also translated the Tafsir of al-Qurtubi (so far 6 volumes have been published), the Muwatta of Imam Malik, Tabaqat Ibn Sa’d and the Risalah of Ibn Zayd al-Qayrawani.

 As well as being a translator, she is also an author in her own right. Covering a wide range of topics, she is the author of The Subatomic World in the Qur’an (Diwan Press, 1980); Islam: The Empowering of Women (TaHa, 1999), and Democratic Tyranny and the Islamic Paradigm (Diwan Press, 2018).
