Eka  Shanty should know that not being allowed to wear head scarf by her employers does not mean she should go and innovate something  which would do more harm than good to Islam. As you said Islam is not about exhibiting beauty, rather it is about faith, following the dictates of the religion to get  the  acceptance of Allah.  This is unfortunate.

I  am really impressed by your article. Indeed, it is fascinating and is
worthy of note for  every Muslim. May Allah increase your talent &
wisdom.

Your article on the above subject matter is superb. As regards to women, the stand of Islam is that of BEAUTY OF CONCEALMENT AND CONCEALMENT OF
BEAUTY. No more no less. Please keep on enlightening our sisters.

Thank you for this article.  I call this ‘MADNESS’ and lack of Islamic knowledge on the part of the organizers and participants.
Muslima pageant is absolute craze and should be condemned and I urge all Muslims to dissociate themselves from such acts of barbarism.

Re- The jail term for exam malpractice
 
Any punishment for the culprit of exam malpractice should include the school authorities, that is the principal, supervisors and the rest, because mostly the malpractice is done with their connivance.
And it is worthy of note that some judges pass judgments according to the influence of the offender, so the jail term is also something else even where the culprit is confirmed to have committed the offence.

Re- The Hausa spoken in Hausa films

Welcome to the world of EngHausa. I call it Anglo-Hausa mix-up. We all belong to the ‘Old School’.
The panacea for this is for us to read canons of Hausa literature to our children as a pastime. These canons include “Magana Jari ce”,  “Ruwan Bagaja”, “Wasan Marafa” and many more.
Films aside, what are your thoughts on translated bill board adverts like “Ka karya azuminka….”? Meaning “Break your fast”, which should have read “ka yi kalaci” or “Ka yi buda baki.
Sometimes no regard is given to the content when translating these dramas. I hope this will serve as a wake up call.
Keep up the good job.

It is obvious that Hausa films don’t have good dialogue writers, I have for long observed that. They are not promoting our culture, rather what they portray is more or less like Indian films, which is contrary to the message they say they convey to the public in promoting Hausa culture.
I mean any time  actors or  actresses  are  interviewed about their  contribution to the society, they  often say that they are inculcating values and traditions which is not true. In fact I gave a way my DvD player simply to avoid watching Hausa films in my home, and I have cautioned my wife several times of  the danger of watching it especially with children.

Thank you for this information. I love the Hausa language and I am interested in learning it. And within the last one year I used to tune to Hausa movies channels so that I can learn from them not knowing some are not correct or the normal way of speaking Hausa.

I assumed I could learn more of the language by watching the films. So far, I have only been able to watch ‘Gwamnati’, and for the life of me, I can’t follow the dialogue, which–even to my untrained eyes and ears–is far different from the subtitles onscreen. If the reality of the language is far different from what I see onscreen, then I should not bother continuing to learn.

You have just spoken the hearts of many. Thank you and well done.
