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. #TeamUnilag
