The Publisher and the author
Book Precious Gems in the Qualities of the Fat Woman .
Mansa ng is a keeper of forgotten gems, translator and distributor of sacred texts, cultural revivalist, and advocate for marginalized narratives. With a little background in classical literature, his daring translation of Al-Yawaqit al-Thamina fi Sifat al-Samina marks a radical act of reclamation—centering the divine wisdom in bodies too often deemed unworthy. Mansa ng’s work has been featured in Okadabooks and BusinessDay. He resides in Northern Nigeria.
Book Description
The celebration of fatness was deeply gendered, with different standards for men and women. While fatness was celebrated in women as a sign of beauty and fertility, it was often stigmatized in men as a sign of laziness and lack of self-control. This gendered double standard reflects the broader social and cultural values of medieval Muslim societies, where women’s bodies were often seen as sites of beauty and desire, while men’s bodies were associated with strength and discipline. This is evident in the literature and arts of the 14th – 15th century Muslim societies. In poetry, the fat woman is often celebrated as a muse and a symbol of beauty and abundance, while the fat man is ridiculed as lazy and undisciplined.
This book is divided into three distinct yet interconnected parts, each offering a unique perspective on the subject. Part I serves as an introduction, providing readers with a brief biography of the author, Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti, and setting the stage for the themes explored in the subsequent sections. Part II delves into the technical aspects of the topic, examining how the Arabic language defines the fat woman, the Islamic traditions and narrations that celebrate her, and the rich poetic heritage that immortalizes her beauty. Finally, Part III elevates the discussion to discover the complex interplay between beauty, history, spirituality, power, marriage, identity and even religious rituals, with a particular focus on the fat woman as a symbol of abundance, grace, and divine favor.
