Hamidah Abbas Letters (Hall)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful Brothers in Islam, let me bring you some marriage advice from Zohran Mamdani. Zohran promised to meet the material needs of New Yorkers, that's why he's loved... In case you don't know, Zohran Mamdani went from being unknown to being a worldwide sensation after winning the election as the Mayor of New York City in 2025.  He literally rose from 1% vote score to over 50% in the primaries before he won again in the general election. He said “I'll freeze the rent, I'll provide childcare, I'll make the bus fast and free” and in no time, he rose to become the Mayor,  Do you see, all he spoke about is the MATERIAL needs of his people. People are materialistic because we need materials to stay alive COMFORTABLY  IF YOU DONT WANT THE COMFORT OF YOUR WIFE-TO-BE, THEN YOU DON'T LOVE THEM. My brothers in Islam, Senator Natasha Hadiza of Nigeria bought a house for her nanny wh...

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful If Trump had actually been a great leader, people won't be in the emotional state they were in, they wouldn't be so ready for a change... Guys, I'm a Nigerian lady, facing the threat of President Trump actually breaking in into Nigeria and “bombing us into security”. However, today I want to talk about Mamdani's win. Anyway, so I've been thinking, if Trump hadn't been such a horrible leader, do you think people would have been so frustrated to the point that they'll actually rise and support a great leader like Zohran? People don't normally support great leaders. Ordinarily, they'll make jest and laugh in their faces. In a way, I feel like the horror of Trump is what got them ready into a state of mind where they're ready to actually go out to vote for a great leader when he shows up on their stage. So let me frustrate you by repeating myself... Once a...

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful An Unusual Letter to the Nigerian Music Industry Dear Nigerian music artists, I'm Hamidah Abbas , the author of  Polygamy Ijma'a . In today's letter, I'll be telling “my music story” Before September 2023, I had never paid any real attention to the music industry in my life. As a practising Muslim, born to a medical-director father and an educated businesswoman mother in 1997, I was raised on Islamic knowledge from childhood. I grew up knowing with full conviction that music is haram (forbidden)  — just like alcohol or any other forbidden thing. So I avoided it completely. But everything changed in 2023. Yes, I always knew that a “music industry” existed, but I genuinely didn’t know anything about it. For example, I had no idea musicians made money by performing on stage. I didn’t know artists organised shows. I swear by Allah that I only learned about streaming app...

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful Almighty ALLAH has bestowed the stories of two women on me. One from Asia. One from Africa. Both died in their twenties from cancer. One was forced to marry a man she did not want. The other was abandoned by her family because she married the man she wanted. Some may call this coincidence. But explain to me how two women, with no history of cancer in their families, suddenly developed cancer after the trauma of forced marriage. My sister in Islam, Almighty ALLAH gave men many rights , but He never gave any man the right to decide who enters your body. No man — not even your father — has the authority to decide who you have sexual relations with. That choice belongs to you alone . Sisters in Islam, Your father’s role in your marriage is walī — a protector, not a dictator. If he refuses to protect your interests, he has disobeyed ALLAH. And you do not obey one who disobe...

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful Distinguished Sisters in Islam, Men inherited the pulpit of the Prophet ﷺ. Lineage is traced through men. Male pronouns are primary/predominant in the Glorious Qur’an. Men inherit twice as much as women. Sisters in Islam, Almighty ALLAH gave mahr to women, and Muslim men still want to take it away…!!!!!! Sisters in Islam, don't let anybody cheat you!!! If you aren't sure what to collect as mahr, look into what each of the daughters of the Prophet ﷺ collected as mahr. Then make Istikharah and collect something that’ll set you up financially for life. A house. A business. A hospital. Gold. Mahr is the financial security that Almighty ALLAH bestowed on women. Don't let anybody brainwash you into collecting something pathetic. Love is cheap. Marriage is practical. Men get twice as much as women in inheritance. Men aren’t shy or sorry about it. And never do they give ...

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ  In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful ( May Almighty ALLAH preserve Sr.  Ummi.andrea  and every person of reflection and knowledge who has contributed to this — knowingly or unknowingly, by the way, if you're wondering what mariamoohanc means, keep reading. 😊) 🥀 Indeed, Mahr is part of the financial security which has been built into marriage 🫀 Mahr (money/inheritance that the husband gives to the wife at the start of marriage) is a mighty favour of ALLAH, bestowed on women — the bearers of the womb. The womb is ar-Rahim, named after The Almighty ALLAH, The Most High Himself. It is that which receives souls from the throne of ALLAH, above the seventh heavens. And in the glorious Qur'an, you'll find several verses safeguarding Mahr: this obligatory pillar of marriage.  So beware of anyone who wants to deprive you of this mighty favour from ALLAH. Be suspicious of anyone who wants to trivialise the importanc...
