Egypt's new first lady rejects the title "first lady".

Assalam 'Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Naglaa Mahmoud, wife of Egypt’s newly elected President Mohammed Mursi does not want to be called “first lady” like her predecessors and prefers instead to be referred to as the servant of Egypt.

“Islam does not distinguish between one woman and another. We are all Egyptians and we have to unite for our nation,” she told the Muslim Brotherhood’s official website Ikhwan Online.

Naglaa said she prefers to be called “Um Ahmed” (mother of Ahmed) in reference to her oldest son or the “hajja,” the designation of women who have completed the Muslim pilgrimage in Mecca.

“And if I need to have a title now then let be ‘Egypt’s first servant.’”

Naglaa’s veil has been the subject of intense debate in Egypt as she will be the first lady in modern times to wear a veil.

Allahu Akbar!

Wassalam 'ALaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Egypt's Servant, this is a bit disturbing here, coz if we humans were to called Servants or Slaves then it has to be the Slave of Allah alone, May ALLAH guide her and all ... Ameen Ya Wasi Al Khabir

As far as servant is concerned, it does not have the same meaning as a slave, according to what I have learnt so far. Even the King of Saudi Arabia is called "Khaadhimul Haramaini was-Shareefaini" which means "The servant of (two) Holy Cities and (two) Holy Mosques".

Please do correct me if I am wrong here.
