Mubarak Iliyasu Soje was born on April 5, 1996, in Kadage, Soba Local Government Area. His father was Malan Iliyasu, and his mother was Malama Salamatu. He was affectionately known by the nickname Sojee.

Mubarak received limited formal education, stopping at primary school, but he pursued extensive religious studies, delving deeply into Islamic knowledge.

He worked as a farmer, following the tradition he observed in his family home, and also assisted his father in this work. Beyond farming, he engaged in various lawful endeavors, striving to earn a living and avoid idleness.

Mubarak was a dedicated and resolute youth, deeply committed to the Islamic Movement and its struggle. He gave significant importance to all aspects of the movement and was known for his attentiveness to every task. His commitment led him to become a member of JAISHU SHAHID AHAMAD. Those who worked with him recognized him as a person of perseverance and focus in all his duties.

On August 28, 2022, Mubarak Iliyasu Soje achieved martyrdom during an Ashura mourning procession in Soba. During this procession, an incident occurred where police reportedly attacked the participants. He was struck by two gunshots in Soba. While he and other wounded individuals were being transported to a hospital in Zaria, he succumbed to his injuries on the way, attaining martyrdom shortly thereafter.

At the time of his martyrdom, Mubarak was single and lived with his parents.

He was known for his patience, compassion, and decisiveness. His mother testified to his character, stating:

"In all the time I spent with him, he never argued with me or disobeyed my commands. Whatever I asked him to do, he would try his best to do it."

His message to his brothers and colleagues in the struggle was a profound aspiration: to strive for the establishment of Islam on earth or to die in its path. He prayed, "May Allah help us and make us steadfast."
