Ebook: Farawa. فَٰرَٰوَٰ

The material, entitled Littaafin Farawa, is a Hausa Ajami transliteration of the Book of Genesis in the Holy Bible. The original Hausa language version of the Book of Genesis (written in the Latin script) was published in 1932 by the United Bible Society. Many years later, this Hausa Ajami version was transliterated to the Hausa Ajami script in 2004 in Niamey, Niger. Although Niger holds French as its official language, the use of Hausa Ajami, particularly within Christian communities, transcends dialectal and nation-state borders. The owner of this material, Reverend Ɗantine Garba Malumfashi, noted that he and his congregants have used the Hausa Ajami version of the Holy Bible alongside the Hausa Latin version in his church since 2006. The collection contains 50 chapters and 175 pages in total.
