Honestly this is while i gladly supported trump Jerusalem move..a greater part of the Islamic community even after knowing the truth on a particularly issue.,they always feel sentimental over it.,always throw in last minutes dust just cuz they feel other religion are less violent...#juz wait till u hear another well respected Muslim lawyer come to her defence..talk in how they have been bearing it along and now it must stop...alwayz on the feel in everyone should be scared or at least give them their way

Like seriously,is this the best you can infer from my comment?
I didn’t want to say more than that. When u say she’s the only one that’s “courageous” u are in a way saying others are afraid of going against the laid down rules. Probably everyone should dressed they way they like.

See Photo Of Daughter Of NBA President Being Admitted To New York Bar In Hijab

The President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. A.B. Mahmoud (SAN), has shared a picture of his daughter, Zubaida Mahmoud, covered in Hijab at the ceremony admitting her to the New York Bar earlier this year...

The NBA president shared the photo following the trending controversy after a student of the Nigerian Law from the University of Ilorin by name Amasa Firdaus was not called to the Nigerian bar by the Body of Benchers on the 12th day of December, 2017 over refusal to remove her hijab before entering the International Conference Centre...

Amasa Firdaus had insisted on wearing her wig on top of her Hijab as she was already dressed in her new gown.

what is wrong in appearing modestly dressed as a lawyer what is most important is what you are carrying in your brain. it is only in Nigeria people read religion into everything. If the lady had appeared semi naked now some of you would have been delighted to see her unclad .

She is not proud to be a lawyer otherwise she should have complied with all rules and regulation. Besides allowing her to wear the hijab will be setting of a precedence of which someone may wake up tomorrow and decide to wear agbada or shokoto to the same ceremony.

Islam permits beating of someone's wife, so assuming this girl becomes a judge and the issue of assault is brought to her by a hajiya, she will place the tenets of Quran above the law.

She is better off studying Islamic studies. Secular law is a haram, as long as the quran is not the Constitution, rather the Constitution was coined by unbelievers, then she has no business with it. She should have concentrated on becoming a sharia lawyer.

It is shameful to know the bias mindset of people is adversely affecting their sense of judgement.

I'm no law student but I do know that rules can be amended,just like constitutions to stand the dynamics of we humans over the sands of time.

what we should be rather discussing is, 'DID THE LAW CONSIDER THE BELIEFS OF ALL CITIZENS' before making its provisions? Your guess is as good as mine.

For those saying was she the only Muslim called to bar? yes she isn't the only Muslim but the only one courageous enough to vehemently stand for her fundamental right irrespective of what literates yet uneducated would say.


#ISTANDWITHFIRDAUS
The law does not work with religious beliefs and sentiments. It is clear, plain and simple.

While the constitution allows for the right to practice your religion it also notes that the law supercedes any religion in the land. Nigeria is not ruled by Islamic law hence things relating to that shouldn’t have an effect and cannot be binding on the set aside rules created for the legal profession.

The same way a lawyer cannot tell an Imam how to run a mosque so will religion not be allowed to influence the law to suite a group of people.

What do you think will happen if everyone decides to attend such a ceremony in their full religious regalia? If she wants to wear her hijab in peace she should have studied Islamic law and go to the sharia court.

Let me say something here, we need to understand this things. If the laid down rule/Law in an organization says it’s a must for every female staff to wear trouser and my religion is against it I don’t have any business looking for work in such organizations. Look, we understand there are lapses in our rules/law but for now let’s look at what she did holistically it’s agaisnt the profession at least for the purpose of call to bar. She can move for amendments later on but for now u need to obey the rule

Didn't she know or understand the rules before going to Law School? She should have protested earlier to initiate a change in their rules if possible. She had a choice to keep to the standing rules or wait until they're changed. This is just unnecessary drama. So many Muslims have passed out of Law School without any issues.

Even if you see evidence of a British hijabi being called to the bar, you will still disagree based on bias.

The similitude of this is:

Why is Nelson Mandela fighting when his people have been enslaved for centuries. Failing to call that lady to the bar is UNJUST.

But the op was drawing justification from USA with a pic that only shows one person standing alone and alluded to her being call to bar. You people just advance different types of moronic argument anytime you decides to replace your brain with Koran. U say "see in so and so place it is allow" and some one else say" see here too is not allow. You go all moronic turning logic on it head. Better sense fall on all of una.
