THOSE tired of flashy and extravagant reality TV shows like American Idol and America’s Next Top Model can now look forward to something more spiritual and wholesome.

TV AlHijrah has produced Solehah, a new show that aims to showcase the feminine mystique as a sacred and valuable means to spread the universal tenets of Islam.

Sharing a similar concept to Astro Oasis’ Imam Muda, which is now in its second season, the difference lies in its focus on producing female role models to the community.


Solehah, which features women in a positive and modest light, is TV AlHijrah’s first reality TV show. It debuted on Sept 23 and will run for 13 episodes.
Viewers can tune in to Solehah on TV AlHijrah (Astro Channel 114) every Friday at 8.30pm as well as online at www.tvalhijrah.com.


The show features 10 candidates, selected from 600 Muslim women, from various backgrounds across the nation, who were auditioned in June.

They were chosen for their versatility in spreading the teachings of Islam through oral and written formats and their strong physical and mental capabilities.

One unique aspect of this reality TV show that diverges from the norm is that all candidates will be kept till the last episode.

Solehah consists of a live telecast session and pre-recorded location shoots that feature the candidates’ diary activities at Solehah Madrasah and the tasks that they have to complete.

Solehah Madrasah is where the candidates will attend classes to enhance their knowledge of Islam and fine-tune aspects of their mannerism, public speaking as well as communication skills.

They will also be assigned with a series of tasks both individually and in group, to test their endurance, abilities and personalities.

Throughout the programme, the candidates are supervised by four mentors and a panel of three jurists.

Solehah is presented as an informal Islamic educational show in a laid-back fashion.
