Why I call myself an Artist

-
Why I call Myselt an Artist BismiLLAH AlhamduliLLAH I am Hamidah Abbas , an Islamic thinker. I completed the Muslim Intellectual Development Program (Sharī'ah Intelligence Training) on 17 June 2026 . The five-day training was held at Bayseone Hall, opposite the NASFAT praying ground, Samonda, Ibadan, Oyo State. It was organised by the Da'wah Institute of Nigeria, Islamic Education Trust (IET), Minna, in collaboration with the Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN). As a thinker, I have many interests and areas of research. However, my core area of interest is gender and polygamy in Islam . A simple way to summarise everything I do is: Spreading light. Whether it is “music”, salvation, agriculture, gender and polygamy in Islam, or society, my objective has always been to make things a little brighter than they were before. For me, it has always been light over darkness . I am from Ìbàdàn, Oyo State, Nigeria . I hold a Bachelor of Agriculture degree from the Fed...

Know the Kind of Life You Are Meant For

-
In the name of ALLAH and all praises belong to ALLAH  There are people in life who find satisfaction in soul and knowledge work—those who feel fulfilled in guiding others, teaching, and working toward salvation and eternal meaning.

Even the Greatest Life Was Not One-Dimensional The life of the Prophet ﷺ is a powerful reminder that human fulfillment is deeply personal. Before Prophethood, he had a beautiful life with an industrious wife and amazing children yet He would often retreat to the cave of Hira. He would retreat to the Cave of Hira for solitude, reflection, and contemplation. He knew something was missing but he couldn...

When Life Feels Delayed: Lessons from the Story of Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam)

-
If there have been many delays in your journey in life, then the story of Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam), his household, and his descendants is the perfect antidote for you. A Life of Divine Delay and Divine Purpose Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam) is the close friend of ALLAH, yet he did not have a child until a very old age. Then, after finally being blessed with a child, he was commanded to leave his wife and infant son in a barren desert, far from people. And later, he was also commanded to sacrifice that same beloved son—despite being among the most beloved of ALLAH. He is so close to ALLAH that, as mentioned in authentic narrations, he is in the 7th heavens (closest to ALLAH), while Prophet Musa (Alayhi Salaam) is in the sixth heaven. My point is simple: even someone so beloved to ALLAH experienced long delays, intense trials, and moments that looked like abandonment. Delay Is Not Rejection What I am trying to say is this: If your life is filled with hardships, it does ...
