Abstract

This thesis examines the intersections of pastoral theology, spiritual embodiment, and resilient agency within an Islamic theological framework through a phenomenological, trauma-informed reading of Aisha bint Abu Bakr al-Siddiqa’s life. Engaging critically with Qudra (divine power) and Qadir (the all-powerful), it deconstructs Christian-centric pastoral paradigms. Centering the Hadith of Slander ("al-Ifk") as a theological microcosm, it reimagines divine attributes as sources of embodied identity, care, and praxis. This work advances *tawakkul* as transformative reliance on God, foregrounding empathy, justice, and spiritual resilience. It culminates in a Niswiyya theology that reclaims female agency as a dynamic, adaptive force across historical and spiritual landscapes.
