Description
explores mystical possibilities within scriptural language, focusing on the figure of Zulaykha, known as the “wife of Aziz” in the Qur’an or “wife of Potiphar” in the Bible. The book reimagines Zulaykha’s story, which has been celebrated in Persian and Urdu poetry but also depicted negatively in Western art and some narratives. Rahat Kurd writes from Zulaykha’s perspective, examining her heritage and the solace found in both human and divine longing.
