Celebrating beauty of Muslim women in hijab
In the vibrant weave of cultural celebrations, Eid ul-Fitr stands out as a time when Muslims across the country unite in jubilation.
In the midst of festivities, one cannot help but be captivated by the elegance and grace of Muslim women adorned in their hijabs, each signifying modesty and self-expression.
The hijab, a symbol of both faith and tradition, holds a deep significance in the lives of Muslim women.
Beyond its aesthetic, the hijab serves as a tangible expression of modesty and privacy, covering the woman’s hair and neck.
Yet, far from being a symbol of oppression, the hijab emerges as a beacon of empowerment, allowing women to embrace their faith while asserting their individuality.
Indeed, the beauty of Muslim women in hijab reflects sense of confidence and inner strength.
Each carefully chosen hijab, whether vibrant or subdued in colour, becomes a canvas for self-expression, a reflection of personal style intertwined with cultural heritage.
Moreover, the diversity of hijab styles emphasizes the richness of Muslim culture, with each region offering its unique interpretation.
From woven fabrics to modern designs, the hijab evolves with the times, yet remains steadfast in its commitment to modesty and piety.
Even though people have misunderstandings and stereotypes, Muslim women who wear hijab are breaking societal expectations and proving that beauty and femininity cannot be defined by preconceived notions.
Their unwavering strength and determination in difficult times demonstrate the strength of their faith and sense of self.
As we celebrate Eid ul- Fitr, let us not only admire the outward beauty of Muslim women in hijab but also recognise the depth of their character and the strength of their convictions.

The Minority in Parliament has strongly objected to any planned merger or partnership between the government and Telecel, describing the deal as “technically, operationally, and financially unconscionable.”
Ranking Member on the Communications Committee, Matthew Nyindam, raised the concern during a media briefing in Parliament.
He questioned why both the Minister of Communications and Telecel would publicly announce a merger and then suddenly go silent on the matter.
“We object to any deal with Telecel by way of merger, absorption, or acquisition. This is a scheme to dispose of a national asset to fill private pockets,” Mr. Nyindam stated.
He argued that Telecel has not demonstrated any special technical or operational expertise that staff and management of AT (formerly AirtelTigo) do not already possess.
According to him, Telecel had earlier promised to invest $500 million after acquiring Vodafone Ghana but failed to do so, a situation he fears could repeat itself if the government allows another deal.
Mr. Nyindam claimed that Telecel was already indebted to the tune of $400 million, adding that the company only seeks to benefit from AT’s over three million customers to expand its own base without making any real investment.
“The government must not surrender the capacity of a state-owned company to a private entity through majority ownership. There is no clear plan to protect the jobs and livelihoods of thousands of workers,” he stressed.
The Minority Caucus is therefore calling on the government to halt any discussions or agreements with Telecel regarding the proposed merger, insisting that the deal is not in the national interest.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has suspended all fines issued by its Compliance Team on the country’s roads, effective Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Authority explained that the suspension follows feedback from the public and further consultations with stakeholders.
The Compliance Team’s enforcement exercise, which had been intensified in recent weeks, was aimed at ensuring that drivers and vehicles met all legal requirements before operating on the road.
However, the DVLA said it was pausing the activity to allow for more engagement and public education on the exercise before it is reintroduced.
While assuring the public of its commitment to promoting safety and compliance, the Authority emphasized that the suspension only affects the fines and charges being enforced by the Compliance Team.
It added that all legal requirements for drivers and vehicles to operate on Ghana’s roads remain in force.
