Hauwa Indimi-Yar’Adua, daughter of Maiduguri oil tycoon, Mohammed Indimi, has justified her decision to name her baby Noah instead of “Nuh”.

Taking to her Instagram Story to respond to those who still attacking her over her decision three years after, Hauwa said she doesn’t care what people think of what she names her child.

She shared a message that many people had sent her to justify why the name was wrong for a Muslim and stressed her thoughts on the subject.

She wrote;

“Tell me why a few people have sent this to me…Check all your other online sources and see if any other scholars have said it’s prohibited.

Does your controversial sheikh know that Noah is Hebrew and so is Yagub and many other names? Does he ignore the good intention behind naming a child after Allah’s prophet? Is the language his problem? Then he should be preaching in only Arabic as well.

Do people really think we will name our child a name we haven’t done our research on? Does he actually think people want to blend with disbelievers?? Shocking.

“I do not care what you think about what I call my child. Your thoughts don’t change a thing because this religion is just not as complicated as you make it.

I say Islam is not complicated because it literally says the exact names you are not allowed to call your child. It says the preferred names. It says Allah’s favorite names. Please take this time to look those up too so you know.” she added.
