FROM DEEN TO DUNYA: MUSLIM CEOs

FROM DEEN TO DUNYA: MUSLIM CEOs Featuring: Abdulqadir Sulaimon In a time where innovation is shaping the future of agriculture, a young mind from University of Ibadan is quietly building something impactful. Meet Abdulqadir Sulaimon, a 300-level student who is blending technology with farming to solve real-life problems faced by local farmers. Abdulqadir is not just a student—he is an entrepreneur with vision. He is the founder of Don’s Farm, a growing agricultural venture that reflects both his passion for farming and his commitment to sustainability. But what truly sets him apart is his ability to think beyond the traditional. Seeing the daily struggles of farmers—missed vaccination schedules, poor livestock management, and difficulty in connecting with buyers—Abdulqadir decided to take action. He developed an AI-powered assistant for farmers called DONRA, designed to simplify and modernize livestock management. This smart system helps farmers: Track feeding schedules Get reminders for vaccination periods Manage livestock health efficiently Connect with potential buyers and receive orders In a sector where many still rely on manual processes, this innovation introduces a new level of precision, organization, and productivity. What makes Abdulqadir’s work even more inspiring is the purpose behind it. His solution is not just about profit—it’s about empowering farmers, improving food production, and contributing to the agricultural growth of Nigeria. Balancing academics at the University of Ibadan with running a farm and building tech solutions is no small feat. Yet, Abdulqadir represents a new generation of Muslim entrepreneurs who are driven by both deen and dunya—using their skills to create impact while staying grounded in purpose. His journey is a reminder that innovation can come from anywhere, and that with the right mindset, young people can become problem-solvers in their communities. As he continues to grow Don’s Farm and expand the capabilities of DONRA, one thing is clear: Abdulqadir Sulaimon is not just building a business—he is building the future of smart farming.
