Browsing: World Hijab Day

For Muslim women, wearing it represents a woman’s submission to her Creator and her connection with her faith. 

The Amirah (female president) of MSSNLagos, Azeezah Gidigbih, said this in her 2023 World Hijab Day address, adding that government should sack and prosecute any defaulting teacher or principal.

Governor Makinde stated this in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Islamic Affairs, Imam AbdRasheed AbdAzeez, to mark this year’s World Hijab Day, noting that his administration will not oppose activities and practices that will promote godliness and modesty.

The World Hijab Day is an annual event founded in 2013 by Nazma Khan, a Muslim woman who moved from Bangladesh to New York at age 11
