An-Nisa Publications: Celebrating the favours of ALLAH on Women (A Story)
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful
From the royal desk of Hamidah Sẹ̀gílọlá Abbas, at an author's studio in Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria
Dear Sisters in Islam....
May Almighty ALLAH honour you.
This is an-Nisa Publications: Celebrating the favours of ALLAH on Women (A Story)
Once upon a time when I was at the university, a sister divorced her husband for marrying another wife.
Everyone said she'll suffer.
They're right.
She suffered.
She and her child.
Rejected by family, community, and society.
She suffered until she made her way into sleeping in the corridors of university students whom she wasn't related to.
She became a maid. She became a beggar.
From a “palace”, to the “streets”.
But you know what?
Before I graduated, relief happened.
She got employed as a “maid” by the university.
After this relief, a miracle followed.
She got married to a widower, a man who also has only one child — like her!
A man who works with the senior management of one of the largest universities on earth.
And just like that, she got into an even mightier “palace”.
And such are the plans of ALLAH, The Most High!
Didn't HE say in Suratul Talaq (The Chapter of Divorce), from the end of verse 2 into the beginning of verse 3:
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا • وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
Meaning:
“...And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out, and provide for him from where he does not expect….”
Sincerely,
Hamidah Abbas | Author, Polygamy Ijma'a
Afterthought:
A lot of Muslim women believe that Almighty ALLAH is going to punish them if they leave polygamy. This is completely false. You can read my free URL-book on Polygamy to confirm. Inside the book, I revived the Ijma'a (legal consensus) of Umar bn Khattab, Amr bn Al-As, Muawiya and other companions of the Prophet ﷺ on polygamy.
In the book, you'll get to know authentic knowledge that you have never come across including a certainly authentic Hadith of Mother Aisha (May Peace be upon her) that made the only reason why polygamy was permissible clear.
You'll also know why none of the daughters of the Prophet ﷺ practiced polygamy in this free URL-Book.
Again, here's the book. If you can't cope with polygamy, you can definitely leave. This wrong believe that you're going to be punished stems from not actually understanding the subject of polygamy at all.
Please share your Stories
For too many decades, fear mongering men of faith have told so many stories (only ALLAH knows if these stories are true) of women whose lives were destroyed because they left polygamy.
The effect of these useless stories is that they have kept women in hellish marriages.
There are women who are disgusted with the idea of using a shared toothbrush so much that they vomit whenever their husbands try to mate with them after polygamy and these women were kept in these hellish marriages because of these stories of “your life will be destroyed if you leave polygamy”.
So please I beg in the name of ALLAH, whenever you see a good story of a woman whose life got better after leaving polygamy or abuse, please tell the story even if you have to make an anonymous account that's only seen by two people.
We need to tell these stories.
So that Muslim women who are afraid of “getting destroyed” when they can no longer cope with marriages that lack peace, will come to know that Almighty ALLAH is certainly merciful.
Some Muslim women need divorce but they are afraid of getting it because of these useless stories.
Yes, of course , some people's lives becomes more difficult after accepting Islam to the point they have to run away from their home.
An example of this is the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and His companions.
So imagine, if people start saying that Islam is bad because the Prophet's life got more difficult after Islam.
No! Islam is not bad and Islam isn't want brought difficulty into the life of the Prophet ﷺ. It is simply circumstances of the time!
So Muslim women, if indeed, your life became more difficult after you left polygamy, that is not the anger of ALLAH descending on you as described by sex-greedy-pious men of stages.
The difficulty that you experience after leaving polygamy is not the anger of ALLAH.
The difficulty that you experience after leaving polygamy is not the anger of ALLAH.
The difficulty that you experience after leaving polygamy is not the anger of ALLAH.
Again,
The difficulty that you experience after leaving polygamy is not the anger of ALLAH.
Its a simple effect of going through transitions in life.
The sex-greedy-pious men of stages who are shouting that the difficulty comes from the anger of ALLAH are simply brainwashing you.
Some of them are sincerely ignorant of the terror they're creating.
And some of them are straight up evil!
They know that they're brainwashing you and lying against ALLAH and they don't care!
So as for those who're sincerely ignorant among them, please seek refuge with ALLAH from the evil of their ignorance!
And as for those who are wicked, seek refuge with ALLAH from the evil of their wickedness too.
Verily, the dangers of ignorance and deliberate-wickedness are not too far apart.
Sisters in Islam, if you suffer after leaving polygamy,
It was simply an inevitable price that comes with going through a period of transition in life.
Don't let anybody brainwash into thinking that ALLAH is angry with you.
Don't get brainwashed! Stand firm! Be like the women of the past who fought.
Almighty ALLAH revealed an entire chapter of the Qur'an to support a woman who argued against her husband, the chapter is called Mujadilah
And let me tell you the meaning of Mujadilah!
You'll be surprised to know that the meaning of Mujadilah is — a woman who argued and pleaded
Almighty ALLAH started that chapter by saying “ALLAH heard”,
And that chapter of the Qur'an is the only chapter of the Qur'an where Almighty ALLAH mentioned His name, “ALLAH”, in every verse!
Isn't ALLAH great?!
Please note that her husband isn't an evil man, he's a companion, he's a believer, he's pious but he still did evil against his wife and Almighty ALLAH supported his wife against him with an entire chapter of the Qur'an.
Believing women, please rise and fight against the evil in your husbands!
I didn't say fight against your husbands, I said, fight against the evil in them.
Every human being; me, you, and your husband have close-to-evil-tendencies.
We are humans. We aren't angels.
Stop treating men of stages like angels.
Refuse to get brainwashed by them.
There's no anger of ALLAH that'll descend on you for refusing to be brainwashed!
We must forbid the evil in our ownselves and in other people.
That's how we'll keep the society balanced.
Correct the evil in me. And may Almighty ALLAH honour you!
We (modern believing women) are failing the society by leaving believing men alone without any sort of correction and guidance.
That stops now!
Give admonitions and may Almighty ALLAH cure the sexual greediness in pious men.
Whenever they belittle the gravity of the distress you experience, correct them because this act of belittling women's emotions is not from ALLAH.
Sisters in Islam, do you know that Almighty ALLAH said to women, several times in the Qur'an (wala tahzan, which means “and do not be sad”)
Almighty ALLAH didn't say this to humans, HE said it to women!
I swear by ALLAH that ALLAH loves women!
Sisters in Islam, please tell stories of hope!
These brainwashing stories are so rampant so much so that some women of faith actually believe that Almighty ALLAH hates women.
Ha!
This makes me want to cry!!!
Imagine believing that YOUR LORD despises you because of fear mongering men who are telling useless stories that are inspired by sexual greed.
Wherever you are in the world, please try and share good stories of favours of ALLAH on women.
I beg you in the name of ALLAH, start writing stories of favours of ALLAH on women whenever you experience them. I know that you fear evil eyes so pray and use anonymous accounts.
Use the hashtag #ALLAHLovesWomen
Let this become a movement Ya Rabb.
You can title your stories as “Stories of hope"
Or you can use the title that I used: an-Nisa Publications: Celebrating the favours of ALLAH on Women (A Story)
The title doesn't matter. Simply tell stories of hope and use the hashtag #ALLAHLovesWomen.
Let believing women find stories of hope. Please.
Spread good stories and read my free URL-book on Polygamy. Inside the book, I revived the Ijma'a (legal consensus) of Umar bn Khattab, Amr bn Al-As, Muawiya and other companions of the Prophet ﷺ.
In this book, you'll get to know authentic knowledge that you have never come across including a certainly authentic Hadith of Mother Aisha (May Peace be upon her) that made the only reason why polygamy was permissible clear.
You'll also know why none of the daughters of the Prophet ﷺ practiced polygamy in this free URL-Book.
Again, here's the book.
Make good mention of ALLAH until Muslim women come to believe, that, Indeed, they have a LORD that cares about women.
Proclaim the goodness of ALLAH until Muslim women know the truth — that, certainly, their LORD cares about their feelings.
Sisters in Islam, please proclaim the goodness of ALLAH. Please. There's too much hopelessness and trepidation among Muslim women
Sūrah ad-Ḍuḥā (93:11):
> وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
“And proclaim the favor of your Lord.”
With 💕,
Hamidah Abbas

I'll like to thank you for not being afraid of evil eyes.
For trusting the protection of ALLAH.
And for contributing to the eradication of hopelessness among Muslim women.
Dear Believers, may Almighty ALLAH preserve you, your blessings, and family!
