A fast rising star amongst Islamic gospel Act, Hajia Rahamat
Na’Allah, ak.a Ike Anobi is set to release her new album titled Ipin.
Rahamat in an interview with this magazine said, “Ipin means
Destiny, and it plays a significant role in the life of every living soul. As a
gospel Act, we are teachers and its necessary we educate our teeming fans and
other music lovers the importance of Destiny and what is requested of them in
working towards living accordingly to avert what could affect their destiny.
“My new album Ipin will x-rays the importance of Destiny and
also establishes the difference between Destiny and some occurrences people
caused themselves; but consider it as destiny. The album is meant for all;
irrespective of religious inclination, gender or race because every human being
comes with a destiny. Hence our closeness to God has to be sacrosanct because
upon our arrival here on earth, human beings are faced with different
challenges and overcoming it, one has to be steadfast with his or her God.”
Na’Allah a.k.a Ike Anobi who has gotten another new name
recently, Omotaye-n-so hailed from Ilorin in Kwara state. Her sojourn in music
started from her Arabic school, Al-Zakofy in Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos.
Going down memory lane, she said, “I could recall how my
teacher at Modrassah then was bent in making me explore my talent. He was the
first to discover the trait of a musician in me. First, I thought he was making
the whole thing difficult for me by forcing me to sing anytime there was an
event at the Modrassah. He would always
said, you have got this talent, use it and it will be of great advantage to you
in future. I give thanks to God, that today I am amongst those that sing to
propagate the teaching of the Holy Prophet. I sing and teach people what Qu’ran
says, what Allah forbids and how best to live as Muslims and human being generally.”
Rahamat some years back came out with her maiden album
titled ORI MI TETE LA. Now it is Ipin, (Destiny) she is about to release as we
go into the year 2019.
In her reaction to why she chose Islamic music as a career,
she said, “My parents are Muslim, I was born into the religion and had the
opportunity of attending an Arabic school where I was discovered as being good
in music. I chose Islamic songs because I wanted to impact the knowledge I got
at Islamic school into people through music. If I cannot stand in the class and
teach people, I could teach several millions that would come across my album
throughout the world via different medium. So, my quest is to propagate Islamic
religion and also shares the teaching of the Holy Prophet through music.”
As an upcoming artiste, Omo-taye-n-so said, “There are several
challenges upcoming artistes face these days, We hardly see people or marketer
that could invest in our music, they are always after those that have made name
for themselves; it is so difficult in the industry today, Marketer and other
music promoters are only interested in artistes that are popular.
Na’Allah has promised her fans that 2019 will be an active
year for her with lots of works coming from her stable including video album.
