About

As the visionary founder and principal contributor of Harambee Halal, Shelly Rahman brings an extraordinary depth of wisdom and experience to this digital sanctuary. A retired journalist and author, Shelly’s journey is deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of Bangladeshi culture, marked by inspiration, resilience, and empowerment. She is not only a respected figure within the global Islamic community but also a beacon of compassion.

My name is Zubair. Like my mother, I am a writer and an aspiring investigative journalist. My work focuses on issues that resonate deeply with me, and I engage in extensive research to bring to light news from around the world speaking, reading, and examining the stories that matter most. With a diverse set of skills as a content writer and web designer, I couldn’t create just any platform; I sought to build one that reflects my mother’s passion for journalism, her values, and her faith. Thus, Harambee Halal was born as a platform of unity, open to all who seek to learn and understand, regardless of faith.

Shelly’s influence continues to extend far and wide, amplified by her highly regarded advice column in Nutindeen newspaper. Her thoughtful counsel has offered clarity and guidance to countless readers over the years. Beyond her public role, her nurturing spirit profoundly shapes her family as well.

At the heart of Shelly’s life are her cherished children, who reflect the values she holds dear. Of all her achievements, her role as a mother shines brightest. She is dedicated to nurturing her children’s talents and instilling strong moral values, evident in their many accomplishments.

With graceful humility, Shelly embodies the spirit of a mother whose care radiates beyond her immediate family. Her journey as a journalist, author, and mentor aligns seamlessly with her role as a matriarch. Through her work, she not only opens paths to wisdom but also fosters unity within the Islamic community.

Harambee Halal stands as a testament to Shelly’s unassuming strength a platform focused not only on sharing knowledge but also on fostering a world rooted in mutual understanding and inclusiveness. Her dedication reflects a belief that compassion, empathy, and shared experiences weave the threads of a harmonious and enlightened global community. Shelly Rahman’s legacy kindles both hearts and minds, serving as an enduring advocate for unity and wisdom.

I don’t think maa even knows the extent of my capabilities sometimes, I’m not even sure I do! But one thing’s for certain: while Shelly might be the visionary behind Harambee Halal, I’m the secret weapon, juggling everything like a circus performer on a unicycle. With a little help from a few friends, we’ve transformed her vision into a global phenomenon. Together, we’ve spread her message far and wide, connecting with folks around the world. Our quirky band of digital misfits has made her wisdom not just accessible but downright entertaining, turning Harambee Halal into a beacon of enlightenment and unity in the digital landscape because who says you can’t have a laugh while changing the world?
