By Sodiq Lawal From the way the Modrasah is called, one could almost get the taste of what it would be like. The modrasah sounds sweet in the mouths of the elders and the young ones. It is with a certain, deliberate thoughtfulness that could not be found in the way other Modrasah and Arabic institutes  are pronounced especially with its ways of training and teaching Muslim students.

A British member of parliament says she was fired from a ministerial job in Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative government partly because her Muslim faith was making colleagues uncomfortable. Forty-nine-year-old Nusrat Ghani, who lost her job as a junior transport minister in February 2020, said she was told by a whip – an enforcer of parliamentary discipline – that her “Muslimness” had been raised as an issue. “I was told that at the reshuffle meeting in Downing Street that ‘Muslimness’ was raised as an ‘issue’, that my ‘Muslim woman minister’ status was making colleagues uncomfortable,” Ghani, Britain’s first female Muslim minister, was quoted as saying. “I will not pretend that this hasn’t shaken my faith in the party and I have at times seriously considered whether to continue as an MP.” There was no immediate response to her comments from the prime minister’s office, but Mark Spencer, the government’s chief whip, said he was the person at the centre of Ghani’s ...

The French Senate has voted in favour of banning the wearing of hijabs in sports competitions, arguing that neutrality is a requirement on the field of play. The French upper legislative house voted late on Tuesday in favour of amending a proposed law stipulating that the wearing “of conspicuous religious symbols is prohibited” to take part in events and competitions organised by sports federations. In their text, senators clearly said the amendment aims at banning “the wearing of the veil in sports competitions”. They added that headscarves can put at risk the safety of athletes wearing them when they practise their discipline. The amendment, proposed by the right-wing group Les Republicains and opposed by the French government, was adopted with 160 votes in favour and 143 against. A commission composed of members from the Senate and the lower house should now gather to find a compromise on the text before it is published, meaning the amendment can still be erased. It is u...

But the students tell Al Jazeera the hijab is part of their faith and wearing it is a right guaranteed under law. They have maintained a defiant stance even as the ...
