The Shahadah

The Shahadah is the declaration of faith in Islam. It means "There is no God but The-God, and Muhammad is the messenger of The-God. Arabic: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا الله، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ الله ALLAH is an arabic word that means The-God. So basically, to be a Muslim (one who submits to God), you need to believe that God is God . A lot of people say this or that  is God. Islam (Submitting to God) is the only religion where we say God is God. If you want to know why people  deliberately  say  this  or  that  is God instead of saying  God is God.  I'll answer you by simply saying:  God have haters . The Story behind this post : I opened an email from a non-Muslim thinker who has experienced a miracle in every religion (To him, every religion is convincing. So what's the true religion?) I replied... Interesting thoughts. As an Islamic thinker, I believe that every human being (religious or not) will experience mira...

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

Image
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...

in the name of ALLAH, from AfroBeat to AfroVoice... (An Unusual Letter to Nigerian Music artists)

Image
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 in Islam: The No-Polygamy Clause from A - Z . 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...
