FIRST LADY'S DRESS DEBATE: THE RELATIVITY FACTOR

In Nigeria a spark of flint triggers a conflagaration. The simple analysis of the First Lady's dress from Islamic perspective, (the faith she professes) sparks boisterous arguments on social media. However, the points being presented by the arguing parties are hanging on the springs of relativity. Everything is seen in a certain shape determined by the perspective from which it's viewed. From the Islamic angle, her dress has not fulfilled the requirement of decency. From other perspectives, it may be seen as decent as it should be. The upper hand is that which judges by the laws which the accused believes in. The fact that she is representing NIgeria does not negate her status as Muslimah. So, do not find fault with us if we look at issues from our own angle. It's a matter of let-us-rebuke-ourselves''. She is part of us and Islam enjoins self-rebuke and correcting evil either by force of authority, by tongue (verbal preaching against evil) or else belong to the category of people who are silently sad at heart.
It's either by pre-planned wardrobe schedule or effect of the views expressed that the First Lady decided to alter her dressing pattern to a little better mode as soon as her programmes started.The contentious dress only lasted from the time she boarded the plane to her reception party. I find this a reason to be lenient to her.
