Rabi'a al-addiwiyya/sufism notes (Islam Sig person)

[studybuddy7777]

Hi completely typical for my teacher, she has made us to rabi'a for our islam significant person and i cannot find much information on her at all!! The only major thing i know is that she was integral into sufism's formation/practice so i could switch to that if noone has anything to bring to the table.

Courtesy of atarnotes, (specifically Elyse Popplewell) i have all the other topics covered in the summary i bought.

Thanks for your contributions!

Can anyone help me out here or do you recommend I study a different person in Islam (eg A'isha) that there is heaps of resources for and already have brilliant summaries on due to the complete course notes (thanks elyse )

Any advice is appreciated and considered

Glad you love those course notes!! Elyse worked super hard on making them awesome even if she won't say so herself 

I really hope someone can help you out!! I'd personally stick with your current person/school of thought for Trials (since they are so close), then maybe switch for your HSC! You'll have to be super self motivated to do it though, not an easy decision to make, only you yourself know whether you have the time and discipline to learn about a significant person from scratch good enough for the HSC. Of course, the notes are a massive help, and of course, we are here to help you consolidate your knowledge as well

I know I am in a rather tough situation at the moment, but I could easily change to Sufism (although this is a school of thought and would thus bring up the question of how a school of thought is different to a significant person as I have never done a school of thought before). Considering this logic:

I have to do 2 Section II and 1 Section III.
If the section III question is on linking more than one, i have my other two depth studies to fall back on. If the Section II asks for sig person/school of thought and ethics (for example) than I could do another depth study there, use my minimal knowledge on Rabi'a (which is mostly about Sufism and Mysticism) and lose maybe 2-4 marks, depending on the questions mark allocation.
Besides that, I cannot see any other circumstances that would require me to know about the school of thought/significant person, so should I change to Sufism (a minor change which has some notes) or A'isha (a major change which has great summary notes) or keep Rabi'a (no change but essentially no notes)

Thanks for your advice and feel free to ask me what any of the above means seeing as I think I just had a massive waffling vent over nothing

Ahhh clever, that's very true!! It's a dangerous game to play, be careful with it, but you are right that playing with your options will let you hide the weakness either way 

The decision is yours alone. I'd normally always just stick with your class but it does seem like your resources are lacking. It might be worth seeing how you go in Trials before learning a whole new set of information and analysis, but if you feel confident about making a change, then go for it and we'll support you all the way

Hey Jamon thanks for all your advice and help I was doing a Section II 8 marker today and I could honestly not get the 1- 1 1/2 pages that was required without talking about Sufism. Once I talk about Sufism, I can easily fill up the lines. So my decision is to go with Sufism as I have already practically learnt all there is to know as that was Rabi'a's (only) claim to fame!
Thanks

Aisha Bint Abu Bakr is an awesome choice to go for significant person:
-she narrated over 2000 Hadiths
-she critiqued and authenticated Hadiths
-she catalysed quaranic revelations through her experiences
-she was a scholar of all scholar, very well versed about the Quran
-she catalysed the split between Shia and Sunni
Thats enough points to write an essay, but the impact of her contributions allows to you to gain the marks. If anyone needs help, feel free to ask.

I can't help you much at all with this, but I will suggest that you know Sufism well, which you say you do, and then just memorise the "few" things Rabi'a has contributed like the back of your hand. Know those things, even if there are only a few, so well, inside out, back to front. The markers know that there is an inequality of resources available and they will take this into consideration with the less popular options. But, if it is true that the contribution is lesser than that of another significant person, then there's no excuse not to have read the few resources there are! Does that make sense? Basically, it might have to wait until after trials, but have a library day where you literally search the corners of the internet, look in all kinds of books, and jot down everything there is. Then try compile it together in a paragraph/essay or study notes, and then you can put it to bed! Because I had a significant person with an abundance of resources, I felt like I could never stop researching. Your luxury is that once you've read all you can find, you put it to bed until you need to use it to study from officially for the next exams (HSC exams- ahhhhhhhh).
