This channel is about my daily adventures living in the Middle East and how I navigate motherhood outside of a comfort zone as MIA - Mummy in Amman 🙃
Waving, not drowning 😅🙋🏼♀️
Say hi if you’re in a similar boat!

“People will say ‘Her husband made her do it’” THIS HIT HOME so hard. May Allah SWT make this journey easy for you habibity (and all of us in this situation). I totally empathize with your situation! Thank you for your bravery and for sharing this really helps a lot of us more than you know 💗
Who cares what people say.i think trying to please others is a lost cause.
Exactly right 👍🏻
Living In Taradise no no Men in Amman in this culture. Make you go to the room in islam you no take off hijab. If you do your husband will divorce you or hit you . When there men there you as a a woman must go to the room. Its bullshit she stupid woman .
Abdullah alawneh no your culture is backwards and lies believe me
@@lupeavalos9791 if u found a husband and u as wife came from a wealthy family, who cares about a husband, he is a piece of shit. Her husband cannot found a stable job in Uk that's why they end up back to Jordan.
As a fellow revert, I relate to the struggle to wear hijab full-time. It took about a month after I made shahada before I did and I knew that certain members of my family would not approve (they still don't). At the end of the day peoples issues with Islam is their issue not ours. We make the best decisions for us and I'm glad you finally stepped into your truth. May Allah swt continue to bless you and your lovely family :)
Me too, about a month after I said shahada I started wearing hijab. Allah makes it easy for the ones who's intentions are pure. Alhamdulillah for Islam
As a muslim woman who was born and raised in an islamic culture, I can’t imagine how hard this is for someone who come from a country where people judge Islam and hijab.
Sending you all my support and love ❤️
In the history of Europe in general, women wore the hijab
She found a conservative Palestinian - Jordanian husband.
I think its hard for some because they're scared of what people might think. I am a Muslim convert from Texas, I've worn hijab for 7 years now and ill say it's been easy alhamdulillah. I mean I was paranoid at first but I found that most people don't really care about it . They may ask where I'm from and why I wear it, or if I'm hot. But thats really about it. Alhamdulillah Allah makes it easy for the ones with the rights intentions. And may Allah keep our hearts always steadfast.
It is difficult for us because it is not in our culture. Men and women are treated as equal.
I'm muslim
I'm a revert living in London now, but originally come from a small village in Worcestershire. I definetly get the looks when I visit back home, but in London i've had no issues at all since wearing the hijab (or before... bare in mind I put hijab on 5 years after converting!) I was so so paranoid what people would think and say, I was so terrified I only told my one friend and just turned up to university class, and meeting with my friends, in hijab without any warning. And nobody said a thing! I think the people closest to you will know you're an independant, smart women and not insult you in thinking someone else has had the power to influence you so much! And unfortunately, as a white woman, there will always be a number of people who assume you converted or put hijab for your husband, whether that's now or in 20 years time! Best of luck, and you look beautiful mashAllah.
A Muslim who chose to become Muslim by knowledge and makes the decision due to what he learned is a stronger Muslim than a person who is Muslim just because he was born Muslim
she is not a muslim yet, she just put hijab on
Yes, she is. Listen again.
@@emadalawneh9971 she is a Muslim lol why would she put a hijab if she's not a Muslim!!
and who are you to decide that???
emad alawneh how would you know if she is Muslim or not?
This is my first comment ever on RUclips. I recently started to follow you and I live in Christian Orthodox country. Please don't think about people, just think about your beautiful family and stay the way you are. You are honest person and that is something that is written all over your beautiful face. I am Christian Orthodox but I congratulate you on becoming Muslim!
❤️
I love you. And I hope you to be Muslim too . I convince you to watch ahmed deedat dialogues with Christians on RUclips. It will be very clear .
@@omarcheikh2414 OK, thank you for sharing information with me. I hope you will have great day.
You are such a nice Christian, respect for you, a sister from the people of the book.
👍💖❤️ wish you the same to be Muslim Amen
Dear Sister, I’m a convert as well and it is very hard at the beginning and putting on hijab. I live in the US in Texas where there’s a lot of Islamic phobia! Like you said in your video this is a choice you made for yourself and be proud of who you are and feel confident as well! I have had positive and negative responses from family or friends but at the end of the day I know Allah is always with me and has made a plan for me. He guided you to him and that is the biggest blessing! With the difficulty with family just keep trying and show them love you will have hard times and difficult conversations and there might be conflict but I can say turning to Allah helps you through these moments. Insha’Allah Allah will make it easy for you! My heart goes out to you! If I can help anyway please reach out!
Although I’m not Muslim and we’ve never actually met in person, I’m so incredibly proud to call you my friend! You’ve been so strong in not losing yourself but also growing as a person in a different country that has quite of an opposite culture to the UK. This decision you’ve made is absolutely beautiful and know that you are supported 100%. Your love for your faith, yourself and your family matters more than any possible negative comment from someone who doesn’t know you personally. Keep on being your authentic self❤️
Oh wait that is so sweet ❤
Congratulations Rachel, I actually had a gut feeling that you'll be wearing a hijab the next time we see you (after your Ramadan video), because you said that you fasted with intention, and because you haven't made videos for a while. Apart from the spiritual aspect, which is obviously the most important one, I think this sends out a beautiful message to outsiders about your positive experience living in a Muslim / Arab country and immersing yourself with its culture and people as it clearly plays a big part and reflects heavily on making such an important life decision.
Mabrook :) this is your decision and it's not up to anyone to question you about it or try to bring you down. Best of luck and I hope you continue studying and learning about Islam InshAllah! We are all behind you.
Next step: Jordanian citizenship! 😁
I heard that too!! And it actually spoke to me
@@lauracontreras-goode5355 Glad to hear that :)
KD ....Christians fast with intention too, as well as Buddhists and Hindus, So although she did come out as Muslim, and living in a Muslim country, one would assume that she would come out as Muslim, however there are Christians in Jordan.
@@Batya-Grace I am very much aware that other faiths fast with intention. But she stated that in her Ramadan video...so one can safely assume she's fasting as a Muslim (since she's doing it during the Muslim holy month). If for example she was fasting during lent, one would assume she's fasting according to the Christian tradition.
I know there are Christians in Jordan, I'm Jordanian and I have several Christian friends.
Hope that clears it.
I covered at 25, i know how hard it is. But trust me whatever you do for God, He will reward you many times more. Not only because you cover yourself but for every other girl you will inspire and for every other man you'll be a reminder for
Hey, It’s Jesse from school. If you remember me! I totally understand where you are coming from with the atheist stuff. I was also raised to feel like faith was silly and not for thinkers, but that has changed for me and it can feel difficult to talk about with my family and friends of old. But I’m often surprised by how many of our peer group are open about it and also have been through heart changes in this way. I think the challenges of adulthood and parenting can really calm the callousness of youth and find people seeking comfort, meaning and journeys that are deeply personal. Our lives are full of rituals. We are all very superstitious however “logical” we might think we are. Rituals are how we think and how we deal with day to day life. Head coverings are part of that. People sniffing at them has become fodder for politicians and the press. But for everyone else just getting on with life it’s just another ritual. You are brave and courageous and real. You also rock the head covering. Love from Norwich x
Bless you Jesse
Deep respect
Respect ✊
.
ughhhh these comments are so sweet it makes me so happy to see that there are lots of understanding and respectful people out there, really warms my heart, good job guys
That's very brave of you
Just remember , all Muslims are just trying to be the perfect Muslim, but no one made it and no one will and no one is expected to be .
Congratulations and more power to you
@Irfan Alddin she's obviously sunni, she lives in Jordan tho-
It doesn't matter what side she chose, what really matter is she's tryin' to do the best of her, becoming a Muslim is a great courage point, wearing hijab too, this wanted some time
100%
@@alizrqa I would love to go back to the time where we would say : we follow the book of Allah, and his messenger. But unfortunately, we have to choose sides now
@@fadisharif I've never seen a tragedy happened because of religion sides in the modern time,, it actually happened along time before, but now both sides have an image , And both sides called islam, so what they really doing whatever bad or right all reflect on this image of islam , so choosing a side doesn't matter , hope ppl to know what really islam is ASAP!!
I wore the headscarf long before I became Muslim,,I read the Koran,I studied Islam and wa,it made so much sense to me,it was just right I just felt it in my hart,I’m French..and I’m very confident and I’m proud to wear the hijab..and it was my decision no one not my husband forced me or anything nor anyone..just stand tall Rachel u are doing what u decide stick with it .its fine ,,and u are a beautifull girl..Marshall Rachel keep the change
Congrats

As a Muslim who was born and raise in an Islamic community l can't imagine how hard is to make such a decision . Since the imeage they have about Islam is badly distorted and some of muslims represent it incorrectly they only represent themslves . If you want to truly know about Islam you need to read about it . You truly inspired me . I hope l will be as brave as you one day .. Much love and respect 💙💙💙💙
I understand you completely. I felt I had to 'come out' as a Muslim on my Facebook to my friends a few years ago. In this day we are in unfortunately it's almost a must to explain/justify why we have chosen such a thing as Islam. You did a great job in explaining, please don't let any of the negative comments bother you. I pray Allah guides you on this beautiful journey of Islam and that he makes all things easy for you. And by the way, you look absolutely stunning in your hijab ❤
I have a weird feeling that this is a clip into my future, it's surreal
I wish you all the best
you have the same thoughts and feelings that i had more than 40years ago when i first started wearing the hajab
Great
@Jubair Hamza she said when I first started wearing hijab not when I used to wear it. I think she still wear it according to her sentence.
Mashallah. Hopefully you are doing well sister through these difficult times.
أنتِ رائعة حقًا ❤️
شكرًا على مشاركتنا تجربتك وقرارك..
من الجميل أن يكون الإنسان حرًا في قناعاته وأفكاره، افعلي ما تشعرين( أنتِ) أنه صحيح ولا تهتمي لآراء الآخرين، الناس يرون جزءً بسيطًا من تجربتك بينما أنتِ وحدكِ عشتِ التجربة بكل التفاصيل وشعرتِ بها.
سعيدة جدًا بمتابعتك 🌸
I've been following your channel as a fellow Brit having lived in Jordan for 5 years. Loved this video, can relate to a lot of what you said. Hold your head high girl and keep going :)
It's pretty clear that you're a sweet person Rachel, you just need to be more confident! As a Christian I started watching you because I enjoyed your content, and I will continue to support you because you're still you ❤ Praying that you feel peace & comfort
بارك الله فيك ,تعليق محترم كما عهدناكم كل الاحترام
Wow, thanks for your support and understanding this will help her a lot
You're a kind person.
Great person who raised u
This is the kind of wholesome comment-y goodness that RUclips needs more of.
OK , that's cool to say about Rachel so how about Rosalie in here ruclips.net/channel/UCv9NM0BKP7_mPJMFN2nmlNQ ?
I started watching your videos a month ago or so and like your perspective from a British woman in the Middle East. I too am married to an Egyptian Muslim and understand the Arabic culture much more- the good and bad. It is hard for westerners to understand how a British girl could put on a hijab but I respect it. You decided on your own and that’s what matters. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Be strong 💪
Congratulations! You should never be afraid to show your true self. Faith is a very big part of who you are, so people just have to accept it or not. If someone does not accept who you are, then most likely you don't even need them in your life. You are such an inspiration, keep doing what you do ❤️
really nice talk
Well said
Aiste Steponenaite your saying that because you are on a free world.
@@user-zy5qh9xq1p I agree.... Sometimes I am too naive and forget that not everywhere people can be who they actually are, but at the same time I hope that this is changing globally. I believe that people can choose who they want to have in their life and hopefully will be surrounded with the ones who love them unconditionally and accept them and their choices
Nice thinking so what about you ?... would like to hear your story ...
I’m so proud of you my sister! My mom is a German concert to Islam and covered 25 years ago... it wasn’t always easy for her but it was completely worth it... I’ll pray for you that Allah may ease your way... just keep going and eventually everything is will be great Insh’allah... never listen to what people say about you they don’t know you and in the end only what Allah, your family and you yourself think is important just keep going 😊😊🤲🏼
Mashallah, may allah continue to give you the strength to move forward. As a convert I faced 3 yrs of tormole but now its better. So what makes you happy not others.
i'm so proud of you for having the courage to talk about this , and don't care about anyone judging you for anything take it a step at the time and eventually you will become the perfect muslim you aspire to be. sending you so much love 🥰🥰
I applaud you for the courage it took to make this video. Most people when they decide to make a lifestyle change, they don't have an audience of thousands. My heart goes out to you and the people who helped you make your change. I am a 76 year old lady from Colorado who grew up in New York. For the first time in my life I was reading the Quora online. It was beautiful. It only takes a few bad apples to spoil the whole barrel. There is good and bad in every aspect of life. Humans, animals and plants. If we have a good teacher then our goodness can be placed on others. I commend your Arabic. I was listening to the Quora in Arabic with English translation. Beauty comes from within. I am a new subscriber and will look forward to seeing more of the new you. Blessings to your family
Quran* not Quora 🙂
Congratulations!
My mom is also a convert. It was hard for her because her family are very closed minded and they don't talk to her anymore.
Still, she tells me time and time again that she does not regret it and will do it all again if she had to!
You and her are very admirable and brave!
Thank you so much for sharing
I am sure that alot of peolle out there are in your position and need some assurance.
and belive me when I tell that Allah will reward you for your bravery because I have seen it with my mom.
Again, congradulations sister 🌸🌸👑💙
الله يثبتك
انتي بتعملي الك مش لأي شخص
رأي اي شخص يجب أن لا يؤثر عليكي
oh, this is very impressive and encouraging. Thank you ❤
MashAllah! I am so happy for you. I am an American who converted to Islam in 2013. I wore hijab for a year and absolutely loved it. I felt that it was my identity as a Muslimah. It was difficult in the US though, I had people who were mean and judgmental to me. I took it off 🥺 I met my husband in 2014, he is Palestinian from Jordan, came here for school. We married in 2015 Alhamdulillah . We are expecting our first baby this week InshAllah. We hope to move to Jordan in 5 years InshAllah. I would really love to connect, I’ve never been outside of California, watching your videos have made me so happy and excited to eventually move to a Muslim country where I can focus on my faith and relationship to Allah. InshAllah I will wear hijab again.
Hey Rachel! I am so grateful for your videos. I am a few years behind, but in the same shoes as you. I barely can talk to anyone about these thoughts as you also have, so I love to watch your videos and to know I am not alone. For me, this journey is a blessing and true happiness Alhamdulillah. Your family is beautiful Mashallah!
Your connection or relation with God is yours and in your heart. And no one can interrupt it. Hope God guide you to his path.
DEEP RESPECT...
People are often intimidated by the unknown, certainly, those who never read about Islam or been within a Muslim community will definitely find this strange. This I believe also true for Muslims who never been within a Christian community. At the end, no one on earth can be fully satisfied. Always live for your own beliefs, do what you think is right and always be strong. Alf Mabrouk and congratulations...
You look absolutely gorgeous! I had to deal with the same shame from my family! Im crying 😢. Ive been in your same situation. I love your bravery! Ahhh, I miss Jordan! Your a butterfly spreading your wings 💞🦋
I feel you. I started wearing the hijab a year ago. I never thought I would, it seemed so difficult. Then u start wearing it, u feel like u can take on the world and that everything will be OK. God gives u that courage. But then suddenly people remind u every once in a while how it's weird for them & u start asking urself if they're treating u differently because of the hijab or for other reasons. Hard to distinguish. Anyway, I LOVE it, it's become a huge part of my identity & even on the bad days I remember that I SIMPLY wear it because God wants me to. Simple as that. U don't owe anyone any explanation. Think: what would God want me to do? And then u immediately know what's best for u. That's the beauty of it. Don't be hard on urself tho, small steps 💛
To everyone who might not like/agree with her choice, please remember it's a choice afterall. Faith is personal, and you shouldn't judge people based on their beliefs. The fact that she felt she had to make this video says a lot, whether you agree or not, you shouldn't judge people, or at the very least, don't bash them.
More importantly, hugging the guest's room pillow is a must, one simply doesn't question why hug the pillow, you just hug the damn pillow 😆😆
Have a good day everyone, please be civil❤
Absolutely agree never heard of the guests room pillow analogy but cool !
Very well said 👏
💯💯
Well said we need another 6 billion people like you
I am watching this in tears of joy😀 I am so happy for you. We loved and respected you before, and we will continue to love and respect you now. May Allah protect and guide you and your beautiful family
Love from an Egyptian in Canada ❤️🙏
Mashallah hugs from London from Polish converted married to Jordanian/Palestinian from Amman 💚
I just want to say that I think that you're fantastic. I started watching your videos cuz I wanted a little bit more inside from a person that is not originally from Jordan because my fiance is palestinian-jordanian. I live in America and myself I learned the history of Jordan and the Islamic faith I've read the Quran several times just to have a better understanding. I did that for myself. My fiance has never said when we marry do you have to become Muslim will be strictly up to me so what you're doing is very positive. I'm looking forward to your new videos keep up the good work.

You can find all those books on lib gen
Rachel the scarf looksso stunning on u..I also wear the head scarf.. u are amazing and so cute..always do what makes u happy..
Hi.
So this is the first time I've ever commented on any video I've ever watched..
I hope you don't get any negative comments and that this video is met with happiness and support.
Coming out in any faith can be a very tricky thing.
I was raised in a Catholic family and when I converted to Buddhism, some of the elders in my family were very angry and confused and still are to this day despite having converted over 15yrs ago.
But with support of loved ones, the journey got easier and I hope you have the same experience.
Don't let anyone make you feel bad about converting, you do you and ignore those who would try to tear you down.
I also understand exactly what you meant about the area you grew up in, in regards to how people feel about the Muslim faith.
I grew up in Australia and there is still alot of hatred towards those who are Muslim..
I myself had alot of unjustified hatred towards them until I met a girl from Lebanon who changed the way I viewed the faith and women in the middle east and since then I've been educating myself about Islam.
And whilst I'm a Buddhist, I still participate in Ramadan as I think the message behind it is beautiful.
I think more people need to educate themselves about the faith so they can realise it's not about hatred and repression of women and all the other horrible stereotypes that go around..
Best of luck on your journey and thanks for the videos, I love them..
Just it is amazing how one girl changed your thoughts about Arabs and Muslims, I am glad that you are educating yourself about faith or Islam. Also, I am so happy that you find your way. May Allah guide you to the right path and save you.
My sister married a Muslim man who’s from Jordan too. We were all raised Catholic. As you said before, She’s a grown woman and can make decisions for herself. She study he’s religion and made the decision to convert to Islam. Out of seven children, I love learning about different religion. I have always been close to my sister and her family loves me for who I am. Thank you for your videos, keep sharing them. I have question, how did you learn Arabic? I want learn to speak that language. I work in healthcare and I be had a lot of Muslim patients I’ve took care of. Thank you again.
you can finde many videos on RUclips for learning arabic.
Just type in search ( learn arabic) or somthing like that.
Wish you all the best 💓
You are having the same feelings I am going through right now. I want to wear hijab but I am very worried about what my husband will think & everyone else
Pray to Allah for strength and courage to do so. May Allah SWT make things easier for you.
Of course you’re free not to respond if you feel like it’s a personal question , but why would a husband feel bad if his wife decided to dress more modestly ?
@@ahmedaly8988 I think she's Christian
Marilynn Veryamani I think you need help to go to live on a Islamic state or with Taliban so you could join there Sharia Law and subjection.
I think you should read more about Islam and Quran from another prospective before deciding to wear the hijab
Read what Islam really say about woman and how it is Halal to hit the woman if she does'nt want to have sex and so on...
Never knew hugging a pillow is a Jordanian thing 😂 I love to hug pillow hehe key point form this video is faith should be personal and private and free from any other influences. Good luck on your journey 🌸
While many girls are unfortunately taking their hijabs off in Jordan watching this video made me so happy and i actually teared up! Alhamdulellah, may Allah guide you to the truth and bless you with power and wellness.❤️
Hi Rachel, I came across your channel last night and been binge watching your videos. I just wanted to tell you that I'm so proud of who you have become, I can imagine it has not been an easy journey . I'm rooting for you!
Thank you for sharing your experience. This video is very inspiring and it shows how strong and thoughtful you are! I'm totally new to your channel but I'm looking forward to learning more about you.
The video is beautiful and courageous in all the possible ways. I salute you for sharing those genuine unformed thoughts. You look gorgeous and you may continue to be. And if you ever need help with settling the scarf up and looking all fab feel free to reach out at anytime, I've become and expert after all those years and I'm loving it, hope you'll endup too. Blessed be Rachael💛
8:57 im doing a very jordanian thing, hugging the pillow 🤣 you are a great woman, keep going
شو ابن العم بلاقيك هون 😂😂😂
@@MR-rn1qf hahahaha hala wlla 😂
@Omar Rashdan Habibi ya Omar hahaha 😂😂
I have been following your videos since qseveral months.I like your positive attitude and being yourself. It is good that you took your time when you came out with this new decision. since I watched the first video of yours, I felt you are great person and proud that you are part of our community here in Jordan
Can i just tell you something, I absolutely love how bright you are, you have such an amazing personality. Whenever i watch your videos i’m just smiling unconsciously. I wholeheartedly support what you do. Don’t pay attention to anyone who tries to drag you down, even if it’s hard for your family and friends to fathom it at first, stay strong and don’t worry too much it will get easier on everybody eventually.
Congratulations may allah bless you and your family, if people judged you or said any thing negative about yor believe and your decisions don't let that stop you from living the way you chose to live.
Very happy to see you taking this beautiful step.
Best regards to your supportive husband and the kids.
ماشاء الله😍 ،الحمدلله الله يثبت قلبك على الايمان والطريق المستقيم💛💛💛
Bless you @mummyinamman . Must not have been an easy decision! You're a strong person. Wish you all the strength.
I literally love you!! Such a good influence to your own kids! you look absolutely pretty with hijab ❤️
I hope you feel happy about it. There is always pressure to conform in a Muslim or Western society. I think the main thing is to do what you believe in. Faith is relative it increases one day and it decreases in the other. I think it is good to stay honest with yourself and others and do not force yourself to be consistent. I think you are a lovely person either way :)
We do respect you and love with or with out hijab coz you are such a beautiful person from inside and out side gratz for thr hijab
Agreed 👌🏼🙏🏻
Congratulations! Im very happy for you! I love your channel and your content!
Girl you got guts! I'm in the opposite situation, Muslim from Jordan living in the u.s. if I'm in a Muslim country I would definitely be wearing hijab now. I think about it all the time and I know I will do it, hopefully sooner than later inshallah! Thank you so much for posting this you inspired me to be more brave ♥️
We respect and support you with or without hijap you're a beautiful soul and we wish you the best of luck in you're faith journey and I hope that you find the thing that makes you and you're beautiful family more happy...🖤🌹 May God bless you🕊️

And by the way I wasn’t aware about the pillow thing before, thought It was a global thing 😂
Moreover, in other places in Jordan (not Amman) where people set on the level of the ground in the arabic seats…
Guests put a towel or a peace of fabric on their legs as a term of respect for the host and the older ones in the setting
Oh sister thank you so much for sharing. I've loved following you for over a year now, since I began my journey to Islam after meeting my Jordanian husband. Your videos always brought me hope and I resonated so much with so much.
I put on hijab in January and it taken time indeed but I absolutely love it now 😊
That made me tear up a little💜im happy for you sister✨☺️
You look so pretty wearing your hijab and your eyes reflect so much peace and love. It is so comforting that you have found your call in Islam. Your family is lucky to have such a sweet person with a humble heart. No matter what others say. It’s your decision and happiness. Many of us support you in your journey. I am not Muslim, but I respect and support your decision. All the best for you. Mashallah.
Masha Allah, l love this video, it brought back memories from when l became Muslim. I am an American woman born and raised in southern California, and I too married a wonderful Jordanian man. I became Muslim 3 years ago and am a full time hijabi. 😂😂 I stumbled upon your videos and have come to love them as they have touched my heart and reminded me I am not the only one going through this. Sending love sister from our American Jordanian home to your British Jordanian home.
It looks so pretty on you mashAllah 💜 you've literally made my day !! 💜
he's so adorable! love that mommy-baby moment.
Good bless you sister, the most important thing about wearing hijab is that it comes from your own free will , God bless 🙏🏼 Huge respect.
You’re a very brave, beautiful and an amazing woman/mother ❤️❤️ follow your heart
And the pizza video suggested by Adham sounds cool I’d love to watch it 😂
Hey Rachel! Really happy for you! It's really fantastic that you came to this decision on your own :)
U said so many things that had been going in my mind
About what would people say
U really encouraged me to reththink of doing what I've been thinking
Not only about hijab but to do other things I wanned❤

I must say that u really r a courageous woman Mashaallah and I wish u a beautiful spiritual journey.Anyway pay no attention to the haters out there😀
Coming from someone who has lived in the UK for around 5 years, coming back home to my Islamic country was not easy. I was definitely influenced by my colleagues back in the UK especially as I was a young girl, and realizing that it was a big part of my faith to cover up was always a challenge. I cannot thank you enough for this inspiration, may Allah bless you and your family 💕
So glad you enjoy living in Jordan. Knowing the culture, I salute your husband for being okay with you sharing these cultural and educational videos. You go girl!!
MashAllah hun the hijab looks beautiful on you 💛 May Allah swt guide us always to the right path .. stay strong 💛💛
You choose who u r... Even as girl born in Jordan in a Muslim family.. At 18 i choosed to be a Muslim i search in relations and read a lot i choosed Islam after long time of being lost... I make sure that no culture no family effecting my decision ❤️❤️
Congratulations!! I couldn't wait to finish the video to comment because you look so nice (I've started watching your channel last April and I Knew you were going to do it!) Much love from Libya ❤🇱🇾 الله يبارك لك ويقويك يا رب
Omg MashaAllah!!! I’m so happy for you, you look amazing in hijab MashaAllah! I started wearing hijab on June 3rd this year Alhamdulilah, May Allah ease your journey. Much much love from Canada sister!
I'm unequivocally against hijab being forced on anyone, and I believe most whom wear it do so not by choice. A good percentage of women do it out of pressure from parents or society, it's not just following their religion.
My opinion on it is that it's another way to control and oppress women.
But I totally respect you choice. The keyword here is CHOICE.
P.s: my 2 sisters whom both over 30 (I'm 34), wear hijab and they wish they'd the freedom to not wear it without causing a sh*tstorm. I always tell them that I support their decision no matter what. No one should live their life on someone else's expectations.
I wish I could put it in words like everyone else in the comments.. but im just liking every single comment saying how beautiful and stunning in hijab! May Allah always guide you and protect you! Congrats sister ♥️
You are so strong and you are so inspiring even though I have always been a muslim,but this video hit me differently! We are all in this together and I hope God would give u the strength to continue doing what you do. Mashallah
Rachel you're really brave for making this video, thank you for sharing this decision with us, I know it must have been really hard but it'll get easier with time once you grow into your new skin and feel more grounded in your decision and beliefs. It doesn't matter what people think or say, don't let it bother you, just in one ear and out the other. It's true that words can be hurtful, sometimes even looks or change of behavior of those we love and care about around us would be what hurts the most, but you have to keep reminding yourself that you made this decision because you believe it's what's best for you, don't let anyone ever take that away from you or make you feel bad about it. It's not an easy decision to make, but hopefully it will reflect well on your life and your peace of mind later on. There's great peace and strength that comes with knowing there is a creator that takes care of us, forgives us and hears our prayers and pleas when we're in need. It's a journey, and a beautiful one, and I hope you will keep exploring and learning about Islam and what kind of Muslim you want to be.
I don't know you personally, but I can tell from your videos that you are a great, loving mother and I'm sure a wonderful wife, as well as a smart, gentle woman, so I wish you and your family the best in life and know that you will be in our prayers
P.S. you look absolutely beautiful in your hijab
Congratulations 😍😍
You are looking gorgeous, god bless you 💜
ماشاء الله تبارك الله، إنسانة طيبة وقلب رائع وجميل والآن ترتدين تاج الحشمة والحياء، حقيقة انت اليوم ملكة زمانك وعظيمة ايامك ، اللهم ادخل السعادة الحق إلى قلبها واشرح صدرها واجعل ايامها كلها ورود وحبور ياكريم آمين .
Mabrook Rachel! So proud of you. I totally understand your viewpoint, in your decision; the acceptation, the confusion, the unsureness, the judgement. But remember that there's no such thing as a 'Perfect' Muslim and don't worry about the judgment of others because at the end of the day it's how you feel and embrace yourself and not what others say/talk about you. Mabrook habebte may you flourish and blossom more to the person you already are!
You really a conscious person, your way in saying your story makes me feel how you feel ❤❤
God bless you
Oh my GOD your are soooooooooooo beautiful.....
We cover our hair and body to cover our beauty but you are getting much prettier 😘😘😘😘
How would covering your hair hide any beauty?
It does believe me, it does!

Dear, it is your life and your choice. Never feel bad or apologize to anyone for that. And, if your family and friends don't know yet, they probably know now if they see this video! Blessings.
Wonderful sister. Your life seems to be blessed and sm happy for you :)
MaShallah your son has the Jordanian kashra. J/K. Best regards!
I have been following you for years, and I lost your channel for a while and now by chance I found it, when he learned that you took this step I was overjoyed, I congratulate you on that, God bless you
Congratulations! I can understand how worrying and difficult it must have been to try to put this together and "come out" to people about this. I'm sorry to hear that you know people who might have negative opinions towards your decision, but I'm sure you know that what's your decision is yours, and no one else's :)
May Allah bless you.. It’s an amazing step.. What makes it more amazing is that you read about it and know the importance of it.. الله يثبتك.. ❤️😍
I'm Christian and I'm Jordanian Canadian, and I understand where you're coming from. In Western countries and Europe it is indeed looked down upon to have a religion and be faithful. People here think, if you're religious (Christian or Muslim) you're close minded and backwards. However, they don't understand the beauty of religion and the righteousness and might of God. Blessings to your family
Beautiful words Hana.
Bless you from a Jordanian muslim.
@@enasyanis2920 Thank you Enas
@@enasyanis2920 Muslims and Christians make Jordan the great country that it is. God bless Jordan
I'm so proud of you for wearing it, it was hard for me as a Muslim arab girl so I can't imagine how it would be for you, but know that you're so brave ❤❤
Hello...where are you from ?
Love this video!!! I just put the hijab last week! And been wanting it for years !!every thing you said was what I think I and feeling as well ! 100% same story hehe!!!! 🙏🥰👍😆
Full respect ❤️
Congratulations sweetheart 😍you look so pretty 💜💜💜🕊️
YOU LOOK GORGEOUS WITH IT I CANT EVEN 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️
I personally admire your journey, the process of how you came to Jordan knowing nothing about it, challenging environment, becoming on a religion unlike your family and people you have always known, and ended up wearing hijab after you've been on social media for a while. expecting to be anything but easy. you made your choices, bravery, truly admiration. I think u need not to worry about how the process went, no plan ever made it for me 😅
