Na'ima B. Robert Biography

Na'ima B. Robert is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on September 19, 1977 in Leeds, England, United Kingdom.

Robert is a full-time observer of the niqāb (Islamic face-veil) and a vocal advocate for women’s right to choose to fully cover. Soon after becoming Muslim in 1998 Robert began to wear the niqāb full-time in 1999. In her memoir, From My Sisters’ Lips, Robert explained the effect of wearing niqāb, “[The covered woman] cannot be judged on her appearance because nothing personal about her can be seen…She does not feel the need to live up to society’s changing expectations of women’s bodies…So whoever relates to her must relate to what she has presented – be it what she says, does or thinks.” Robert is one of the founding members of Veiled Justice and has represented the East London Mosque on Muslim women’s issues. She has spoken in support of the niqāb in numerous British media, including The Telegraph, BBC News, The Times Online, BBC Radio 4’s The Moral Maze and Channel 4’s Undercover Mosque series; as well as speaking to Muslim and international media outlets, such as for Islam Channel and AIM TV.

During her university studies Robert travelled to Egypt as an amateur musician and singer playing traditional Zimbabwean compositions at a music festival. Her initial reaction to the hijab-wearing Muslim women was to be “appalled” but finally asked an especially beautiful Egyptian woman why she would choose to cover her beauty: ‘Because,’ she said, ‘I want to be judged for what I say and what I do, not for what I look like.” After their exchange Robert says, “I began to think about my life, about my own self-image and how I wanted to grow and develop.” Robert returned to London and began reading the Marmaduke Pickthall translation of the Quran, learning about Islam and Islamic law, and she gave “dressing modestly a try.” Over the Christmas holiday that same year Robert travelled to “Muslim Africa, to Guinea” where she found that “As someone still steeped in the ideals of Black nationalism, these Muslims appealed to my own African identity and my sense of Black pride.” In Guinea Robert began making the Islamic five daily prayers, fasted during Ramadan and upon her return to London announced her shahada (declaration of Islamic faith) in 1998.
