Celebrating beauty of Muslim women in hijab

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.

Constitutional review: Government accepts proposal to abolish death penalty – Dominic Ayine

Published

on

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.

He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.

Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.

According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.

He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.

Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.

He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
