21 year old University of Lagos student Obabiyi Aisha
Ajibola, beat 19 other beauty hopefuls to emerge
Muslimah Queen 2013. Ajibola won the exclusive
beauty pageant for Muslim women which took place
today Wednesday September 18th in Jakarta,
Indonesia. She received 25 million rupiah ($2,200) and
trips to Mecca and India as prizes.
The contestants were all required to wear headscarves,
covered from head to foot. They were judged on their
looks, how well they recited Koranic verses and their
views on Islam in the modern world, in front of an
audience of mainly religious scholars and devout
Muslims
This pageant was actually staged as a retort to the
Miss World pageant holding in the same country. The
organizers said they wanted to create an awareness
within the muslim female community that there is a
better form of beauty than the one being portrayed by
the Miss World. They said the pageant is Islam's
answer to the glamorous Miss World Pageant.
Congrats to her!
