Abdullah, also spelled as Abdallah, is a male given name originating from Arabic roots. Its meaning is "servant of Allah," formed by combining the Arabic word ‘Abd,’ which means servant, with ‘Allah,’ the Islamic term for God.

In Islamic culture, humility before God is highly regarded, and as a result, the name Abdullah is quite prevalent among the Muslim community. Interestingly, the father of the Islamic prophet Muhammad was named Abdullah as well, who passed away before his son’s birth.

I believe it is necessary to process individual lives to understand life itself, for us, and to also understand the life of the person's life documented. Without careful reflection we cannot understand life in its entirety. If we document a person's life it also gives their life its purpose and makes for understanding them more also.
