The Al-Bayaan Central Mosque in Ikotun, Lagos, was filled with joy on Sunday, December 28, 2025, as family members, friends, and guests from within and outside Lagos gathered to witness the wedding of Alhaji Habeebullah Adewole Akorede and Sofiyyah Adesola Oladimeji.
Muslim News reports that the groom, Alhaji Habeebullah Akorede, is a former cabinet member of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Lagos State Area Unit.
He studied Physics at Lagos State University (LASU) and later completed his postgraduate studies at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria. He is the son of Alhaji Lukman Dan Azeez Akorede, Chairman of DanAzeez Concept Umrah and Hajj Services, Lagos.
The bride, Sofiyyah Adesola Oladimeji, studied Islamic Studies at LASU and holds a Master’s degree from Crescent University. She is a daughter of Alhaji Moroof Oladimeji Agbabiaka of Lagos.
The nikkah was led by Sheikh Saheed Salman, Deputy Registrar of Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), and was conducted in line with Islamic rules, with all requirements properly met.
While addressing the couple, Sheikh Saheed Salman advised them to build their marriage on fear of Allah, patience, sacrifice, and kindness. He reminded them that love alone may not be enough when challenges arise in marriage.
Many scholars and community leaders attended the ceremony, including Sheikh Abdullah Lawal Olohungbomeje Al-Edewiy, Prof. Abdulkabir Paramole, former Head of the Religious Studies Department at LASU; Sheikh Muntaqoh Abimbade Zuglool (UK); Sheikh Kamaldeen Abu Kamal (Abidjan); Dr. Mikhail Sanni; Dr. Ibrahim Salaudeen (Al-Bayaan); Imam Sulaiman Giwa; and Alhaji Chief Teliat Olomu, Chairman of NURTW, Bariga.

On behalf of Muslim News Nigeria, we pray that Allah bless the union of Habeebullah and Sofiyyah, grant them love, mercy, and peace in their home, guide them with patience and understanding, protect their marriage from hardship, and unite them always in goodness. May Allah make their marriage pleasing to Him and bless them with a happy and fulfilling life together. Āmīn.
