Tahiry, this video hit the mark so many times and has helped my perspective on Islam and what it means to be a Muslimah. You’re grace and authenticity is so impactful especially towards the end of the video, Jazakallah Khair sister 🥹💗
I absolutely LOVED this show that I finished S1 and S2 in a day! I'm so happy you reviewed this! Ayesha was my favorite character too and I loved that she doesn't hold back! I aspire to be her level of petty. I also appreciate how Bisma was written more in S2 where she struggles with femininity as a Black Muslim woman. I really didn't like Noor. I want her to be in a room with Ayesha so bad just to make her cry lol. I also agree with you about Saira being straight and Ayesha being queer. It's so quick to assume one's sexuality based on appearance and I'm glad Lady Parts didn't ride on that stereotype. I also appreciated how Ayesha ended up not coming out to her parents while still being a role model for queer Muslims. It reminded me of parasocial relationships with celebrities where fake fans want their faves to come out, but real fans respect their faves decision not to come out and will still look up to them. 32:27 - this is exactly why RUclipsrs like you are needed. I'm also a RUclipsr and I don't aspire to be in those two lanes. That's not to say that I don't enjoy dressing up. We already have so many content creators in that space anyway. What about Black Muslim women in comedy? Reviews for movies/shows? Gaming? DIY? We're so freaking brilliant and the universe is only expanding. P.S. Yes, please keep talking about modest fashion. I will be waiting for that video In Shaa Allah.
30:00 Thank you for saying this! It breaks my heart whenever I see muslims discourage someone from drawing or making music because they are allegedly “haram” (even though there’s no consensus on whether these things are actually haram). Ironically, these same muslims will complain that their children are consuming secular shows and music. Well, how are there supposed to be good muslim cartoons and music if muslims are discouraged from pursuing art? In that case, you can’t really blame muslim children for watching anime or listening to Taylor Swift, since there aren’t many good alternatives. Instead of shunning art and music, we as muslims should be embracing them, and using them for good. Music and art has (and always will be) apart of muslim cultures. I hate this new wave of conservatism that deems art and music as “haram”. Honestly, I feel like this is a ploy by certain tyrannical rulers and scholars to keep muslims under their control.
I know we are not perfect and we sin, BUT this shouldn’t be something we commercialise and make it look like it is what we should strive for. Do you understand that they are profiting from us by using us for this type of muslim representation??
@@user-sh5dx5du1x I mentioned this as well! Unfortunately by living in the west it doesn’t really seem possible for us to get Muslim Representation without appealing to the white gaze
music is haram based on the Quran and the Sunnah, to ignore these evidence is a way of deluding ourselves and to make ourselves comfortable with the sins that we commit. Imagine Ibrahim PBUH accepted to kill his own son for the sake of Allah, but as as modern muslims refuse to give up our sins because we come up with excuses that serve our opinions. Most muslim scholars agree that based on the evidence, music is haram.
There is no ijma (consensus) on music being impermissible. Not every muslim scholar (classical and modern) believes music is haram. This includes the renowned Imam Al-Ghazali. Dar Al-Ifta Missriyya and the Former Grand Mufti of Egypt Shawki Allam have also stated that music is permissable. You are free to believe that music is impermissible. However, others are free to believe that it is permissible.
@@tteokkochi2084it is a choice of you to believe individuals over schools of thought… There will be always a handful of scholars, very knowledgable people, who have some more nuance to, for example, the (in)permissability of music. But, you are not even explaining the nuance. There is no scholar that says that the music we have today is outright halal. That is just wrong of you to say.
@sumayaosman6489 You know that not every type of modern music is violent or sexual, right? Just as there's "good" music, there's also "bad" music. You can't paint music as a whole "haram" just because certain types of music exist. By that logic, reading books would be haram because of erotic novels. Watching TV would be haram because adult content exists.
@@tteokkochi2084 I understand your reasoning, but that is not what I meant. There are many different types of music, but when we speak about music listened to by the youth, we all know what type of music that is. People ask about the permissibility of music, to listen to those type of music that in general wont be permissible because of vulgar language or topics, not even considering musical instruments. There is no scholar that will outright say that music is permissible, they will talk about "musical instruments", because that is were some, a small amount, of scholars may have different opinions about. If you are talking about musical instruments, and some scholars saying that is permissible, then you should also explain this the same way the scholar would. Otherwise, you are misinforming people. I hope you understand!
omg the smoking abroad!!!! america, canada, and australia are the only countries i've been to where it's taboo/less common to smoke. i masked in turkey and still lost my voice from the secondhand smoke. most muslim majority countries be chimneys since they're more likely to abstain from drinking or it's illegal
@@hhuuddaa it’s soooo annoying!! I loved my summer in Europe but the smoking was the hardest part 😩😩 Allah save us fr fr. Cigarettes are even becoming more popular in the US now too
The show made me cry, and the absolute bars you drop at the end of this video are making me blub too 😭 I promise I'm not just constantly crying! Solidarity is just draino for the tear ducts
I saw clips of We Are Lady Parts on TikTok. I was considering watching it, but wasn’t sure. After listening to your review, though, I’m definitely interested.
hi tahira, I'm curious about the book you referred to - the one discussing the permissibility of art in islam. Do you mind sharing the title, and author? Seems like a great read
@@Siman-to9hc just found it: Diversion and Arts in Islam by Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi. He has a few books on the topic but if you go back to even prominent classic Islamic scholars you’ll find different opinions on the permissibility of music ! Allah knows best ❤️
This is not Muslim representation. Why represent us doing Haram activities instead of doing something good or be nice hardworking people that put Allah first as it should be
@@maramra393 the reality of life is that Muslims DO haram things and can still be good people and have a relationship with Allah. You sin everyday babes just like the rest of us.
@@SincerelyTahiry "You sin everyday babes just like the rest of us." She never implied that nobody sins? She's right about this being bad representation you don't need to be so condescending "babes"...
Loved this so much!! Thanks so much for your yapping 😂 I didn’t even realise it was almost an hour long. I loved the show, and really hope there’s going to be another season. I definitely felt represented and saw some of myself in all the main characters. But I also fully agree about them just putting in some stuff there that was more about the non-Muslim audience and production than it was about the show because it just didn’t make sense. Also hoping for more on their relationships with Allah in the next season. Maybe because of all the good reviews, they might be less scared to include that in the next one? Would also love to see more on Saira and her relationship with her mother. And more on mental health. I also really didn’t like Noor, especially in season one…. Buuuut I did appreciate the character because like you said, there’s a lot of Muslims like her that we all know and interact with all the time. I’ve also been guilty of judging people (maybe not to her level, but defo enough for me to feel guilty and regretful about it, especially when I was younger) And I’ve had friends like her. So I liked seeing her character development. I do think she was sincere in her regret and acceptance of her hypocrisy in season two, and it was nice to see. I also loved her character ended up being such a hypocrite because omg it’s so true that the mean judgy ones are the ones doing the stuff they are judging others for 😂 Another thing I think could be improved was the fact that a lot of the cast weren’t actually hijabis and some weren’t even Muslim. I think the music in season two got better. I quite liked their wedding performance 😂 But yeah, there’s room for improvement. Also loooool it’s so true that all the niqabis I know are yappers! And so confident and secure in themselves! So it was great seeing that in Mumtaz’s character, because I do think most people probably have loads of assumptions about niqabis. Ahh I have so many other thoughts and comments but can’t type them all. Will just say thanks again for the video!
