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...

BismiLLAH AlhamduliLLAH

I was clearing my gallery, and I said to myself: these pictures must never be lost. So here I am with pictures that I refuse to delete.

This is what I've been saying. SubhanaLLAH, I found this somewhere on Reddit. It resonated so hard so I decided to share it. My LORD speaks The Most Perfect words.

Tajweed and tongue tie (it is possible to have a tongue tie without knowing): Lesson 3

BismiLLAH AlhamduliLLAH  Tajweed Journey | Vol. 3   (Do you know that it's possible to have a tongue tie without realising it?)  Memorising Before Tajweed (Here's why) Throughout my life, I've always struggled with Tajweed and I couldn't figure out why. Until, I discovered recently, in Hijra 1447, that I have a tongue tie. In order to save other people from what I struggled with, I decided to write this letter. So here it goes.... You need your tongue to pronounce 17 of the Arabic alphabets. If you have a tongue tie, you won't be able to pronounce them properly . It doesn't matter how hard you try or how long your Tajweed teacher trains you. So here's the problem. It is possible to have a tongue tie without knowing. I am a chief example of this. Look at the image above. According to that image, the severe tongue tie is extremely obvious. It is called an anterior tongue tie. If you have it you'll know. Doctors will also know. Where the pr...

Polygamy in Islam: I DON’T WANT MY HUSBAND TO MARRY ANOTHER WIFE — Your Number One Unexpected Story

-
Image
﷽ BismiLLAH. AlhamduliLLAH. “I DON’T WANT MY HUSBAND TO MARRY ANOTHER WIFE. I don’t want polygamy.” It is enough heartache to think about how traumatising it would feel to share one’s spouse intimately—both emotionally and physically. If merely thinking about it, without actually living through it, can cause so much pain, how painful would living through it be? The pain of polygamy has changed many married women into what they are not. And the pain they undergo—I am certain I do not want to know. I want to live a life of living , not coping. I want to live a life where I speak about the mercy of ALLAH most of the time, not about His tests all the time. I want to live a life of tranquillity, not rancour. I want to be in the kind of marriage that the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ— Zaynab bint Muhammad —was in; the marriage that Ruqayyah bint Muhammad was in: a monogamous marriage . I want a marriage that will be a source of mercy, love, and tranquillity. I do not want to...

Day 2, Shari'ah Intelligence Training (Muslim Intellectual Development Program), Ìbàdàn, 2026

-
BismiLLAH AlhamduliLLAH One unexpected aspect of this training is that, so far, being in a room and sitting for multiple hours with people who hold different opinions on so many issues, yet remaining together in harmony, has done something to me that no amount of studying could ever do. In addition, witnessing the excellence of the Da'wah Institute has been a thing of beauty. Receiving the 322-page manual and other materials from the institute, the ID card, the commitment to punctuality, the quality of the refreshments, the exercise sessions, and even the depth of thought behind the name game—SubhanaLLAH. In case you have not noticed, I am a fan of very few people. First of all, I am a long-term admirer of my late grandfather, Shaykh Mas'ud Ọláńrewájú Adèpọ̀jù, the founder of Universal Muslim Brotherhood (UMB), Agodi Gate, Ìbàdàn. Secondly, I am also a fan of the Da'wah Institute. I remember my hostel mate showing me a presentation by Shaykh Nurudeen Lemu during my u...
