I haven’t worn hijab 🧕 except to the masjid/etc. but I have been collecting more hijabi/modest clothing. Please pray for me that Allah swt gives me strength to get to the point that I’ll be wearing hijab. I love you ladies. Salaam
NO “ladies’HIJAB” found in the Quran. - (The word HIJAB is used in the Quran but NOT for ladies.) Check these Ayath/verses that they say have Hijab in them. (But not found) In Quran 33.59 - “ … JILBABs over themselves…” in Quran 24.31 - “… KHIMARs over the JAYBs..” The word is KHIMAR in the Quran.24.31 - Root Meaning of KHIMAR is just a COVERING, it can also be a neck scarf, any scarf, dupatta, chadar, etc. There is no head, hair, veil, niqab or any such importance in the Quran, They have SHIFTED the IMPORTANCE away from the JAYB. Check the transliteration in Quran 24.31: “yadribna bi’Khumur’ihinna ala juyoob’ihinna” [Plurals : khumur, juyoob] // *..put-forth COVERINGs OVER THE JAYBs…*// KHIMAR = COVERING and To verify JAYB from the Quran check this example in //Quran 28.32 “…. yadaka fee jayb’ika …”. // “… put your hand in your Jayb..” (clearly a pocket or opening in the dress) (or) some people translate it as chest/ bosoms coz that’s where they understand the Jayb is. Again, please see where the importance is in the verse: “put-forth COVERINGs over the JAYBs” - but the EXPLANATIONS of ‘Sect’ /Firqa leaders promoted the concept of ladies’HIJAB - by adding it in books written much later after the Quran AND by adding words with brackets in translations and explanations - gradually shifting the importance of COVERING the Jayb - giving importance away from the Jayb seems like DISTRACTION from the main EMPHASIS. AND also - these Firqa leaders wrote the Dictionary centuries later to push their meanings - please ask them : when and who wrote the Dictionary that they show their meanings from? We should not accept new meanings to the words after the word is used in the Quran - in the present era the meanings can be understood by checking the same word usage within the Quran - see where the word is used again. QURAN is it’s own DICTIONARY within it - (by using the important words in other verses and locking the meanings). They should know when the same root word is used for khumr/intoxicants even then it’s used for “COVER” - - any KHUMR /- intoxicant or alcohol COVERS the ability INSIDE THE MIND - - Please NOTE : khumr /intoxicants/ALCOHOL does NOT cover the HAIR or outer-head. How can a religion claiming to be for the whole world - promote desert clothing for far off freezing lands? They’re Spreading culture and calling it religion - They took the desert clothing that is needed in sand storms and called it religion OTHER religious groups were ALREADY wearing it in the desert. IF anyone wants TO FOLLOW WORDS OF ALLAH then they should verify with the Quran - coz every secondary source should match with the Quran AND they should not add words in translations. JILBAB: Means any decent OUTER CLOTHING worn above the under-garments - it’s plural is JALABIB The verse in the Quran 33.59 is about JILBAB - it’s about wearing outer clothing - where it also says that “they can be RECOGNISED and NOT HARASSED” Here the condition is to be recognised : how will anyone RECOGNISE if you cover fully? - So avoid tight clothing - it’s really simple as per Quran. Wearing clothes that the security personnel and other people are scared of coz they cannot recognise the person inside - as a result you face difficulty and then that results in feeling harassed. Check the verse Q.33.59 below and remember that some translations or interpretations have added words in brackets - so look at Arabic /or word-to-word translation to VERIFY, yes VERIFY. “… alay’ihinna min jalabib’ihinna… “ (Plural-is JALABIB) //Quran 33.59 O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their JILBABs over themselves . In this way it is more likely that they will be RECOGNISED and not be HARASSED. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful// -- Notice it’s only talking about properly covering themselves - there is NO emphasis on head, hair, face covering in this verse also. - Some of them will not VERIFY what is in the Quran - word by word. And you may get to see how they will jump to start calling IGNORANT and names to the person showing them the research.
@@sam_mirza aint reading all that. 33:59 O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized ˹as virtuous˺ and not be harassed. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
@@jerusha9423 Oh ok, I will try and put together what’s in the above comment about Q33.59, if that helps. JILBAB: Means any decent OUTER CLOTHING worn above the under-garments (not necessarily a third layer of clothing) The verse in the Quran 33.59 is about JILBAB - it’s about wearing outer clothing - where it also says that “they can be RECOGNISED and NOT HARASSED” Here the condition is to be recognised : how will anyone RECOGNISE if you cover fully? - Just avoid tight clothing - it’s really simple as per Quran.

@@sam_mirza what is your argument brother? what exactly are you againts? is what God says not clear enough. and please dont change the quran verses lmao. "Wearing clothes that the security personnel and other people are scared of coz they cannot recognise the person inside - as a result you face difficulty and then that results in feeling harassed" what does this even mean bro lmaooo. You are meant to cover your awrah, and for a woman their awrah is evrything except face and hands. How you observe hijab is your choice however there is a clear and correct way. Observing hijab is also how you behave and carry yourself. Are you even muslim bro
Im not a muslim and I wear the hijab.🧕🏻 I literally started to wear it this senior year. I don’t like showing my hair and I feel naked without it. It was hard for me to put it on because I was afraid of judgment at school because im literally a white girl wearing a hijab. My family didn’t approve whatsoever because they aren’t a part of any religion. I even went to my church wearing it. I was so happy that no one judged me. I like wearing it and I feel Secure.
This is fake af. Only a real hijabi would say they feel naked without it. You can’t feel naked without it unless you have been wearing it for years since a young age which is not likely with your parents
Zu Sh umm I really don’t like the negativity. I’ve been covering my head for years but just not the hijab style. Please don’t judge if you don’t know the whole story.
I think hijab is soooo beautiful and when I see young ladies wearing it, it makes me wish I could be as strong as them. Inshallah one day I will have the strength and courage to wear hijab.. I am so scared to do it now but inshallah one day I will.
How are they strong , its strong not wear to it in the face of pressure from family and society around them , especially if its very conservative..women should not feel the need to cover their hair
For me, its a challenge and its a scary because my mum and some of my cousins are not used to wearing hijab. However, thanks to Allah. I finally able to convinced my mum after 4 years to let me wear hijab. She told me 5 days ago that if I am sure and want to wear hijab. Then, wear it May/June 2020. Hijab is a decision and it involves whether you are ready and brave to wear it. Believe me, its not an easy decision but once I made the decision 4 years ago and finally get my mum's blessing. The feeling is none other than excited and rest assured. I feel at ease now because finally I am able to do what I know is supposed to be the right thing to do after reach certain age but its just that I and my mum denied it for years because we felt insecure and scared that life will get harder. I understand that hijab does not mean that I am the most pious person but instead its for me to remind myself about certain things, protect me (my body and myself) from weary/evil eyes and having a physical connection to Allah S.W.T. I think I made the decision about wearing hijab and keep on convincing my mum when only I am able to understand that. I hope you will be able to make the decision someday or soon. Wish you the best.
Wow this was a beautiful video simply because it was sooo real. I love your friend Omaya! She really said something that struck me down to my core/heart about how empowering the hijab really is. I’m not Muslim but I’m interested in the religion and want to learn more and who knows maybe one day I can call myself a Muslim. Thanks so much for sharing this chica! Muchos besos y abrazos
Yahaira Oviedo yes people only know the outer layer of Islam, which they think of need to wear hijab everyday and pray five times a day But if u really were to know what it is, it’s a beautiful religion and a peaceful one too! But all I’m saying is follow your heat❤️
RegallyWrapped I know yudaism and Islam are so similar, people say we worship the same god but in different ways, but I don't know that Jewish women also wearing hijab ..
I'm trying to write something but you left me speechless ☺ I was crying watching this video because I can relate to it so much! After watching Omaya's hijab story it gave me so much strength that couple weeks after it I have started wearing hijab, which was my wish for a years. May Allah bless you both, you are such an inspiration ❤🌷
When Tara gave her speech at the end about Hijab and when she was sharing a story that reflected on the stereotype of Islamic women being “oppressed” was absolutely inspiring and amazing. Because I recently started wearing the hijab and struggled with the same thought. After watching this video, my struggles disappeared and now I feel stronger, prouder and beautiful Alhamdulilah! Thank you guys so much ♥️♥️
This literally made me feel teary eyed because I feel exactly exactly the same. I love getting support when I myself struggle, instead of the 'take it off' people because those people hurt me and make it harder to fight this fight. What Tala said, that the prophets and his companions struggled so much to establish our religion, and we women are carrying that legacy onward...I got chills. I love you ladies
Lol. She could ride in a tinted car, with music, and without her hijab. I love hearing these stories. I don’t know many hijabi’s in real life, but I see so many Instagram/ social media woman going from hijab to no hijab.I tried to wear a turban hijab and so many people looked at me and I felt that I had 3 arms, so I stopped. Hopefully one day I can try with hijab again.
The reason is people lack the understanding of why they wear hijab and do it for the wrong reasons e.g fashion. When you learn about it and do it for the sake of Allah alone, you will fall in love with it and never take it off :)
Don’t wear turban it isn’t correct hijab. You’re supposed to cover your breasts with your khimar. I’m not hijabi either right now but i’A I plan to put it back on in a year or so
This was an amazing, so informative and just real. I appreciate you two took the time to share your stories and be so confident and so beautiful. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘😘 your friendship is a wonderful one of a kind.
I started wearing hijab in 3rd grade. Then took it off in 5th grade. Then finally put it back on in 8th grade 2002 and have been wearing it ever since hamdulilah.
I hope this helps someone who is considering to wear the hijab. I would wear the hijab to the masjid, to the Sunday school and during the month of Ramadan. Soon I started wearing the turban because I was too scared to put the scarf on my head and after about 4 or 5 months, I started wearing the scarf. It was a two-year process and it did not happen overnight but I knew I wanted it and it just felt right. It takes time to feel comfortable and not notice the stares you get but what keeps me going is the feeling of peace in my heart that I got after putting the hijab on so I choose that heart comfort over the society comfort...if that makes sense.
I so feel the girl of germany .. im living in germany and im a convert and the way people are here is just not ok... due to this i am not able to wear it! You always give so much hope Omaya! Thank you! Asalamu’aleykum ❤️ mucho amorrr
I started wearing the hijab a few weeks ago and what you were saying about not getting attention anymore and not knowing how to shine/ what you’re identity is resonates so much. Everyone assumes that you feel amazing as soon as you put it on but you’re video made me feel that it’s okay to be unsure for the beginning part. I’m hoping with time it gets easier. Also I love tour friendship, it so beautiful to see. May Allah keep you friends forever xx
Wow this is the best hijab talk on RUclips thus far! I have been wearing hijab for 3 years alhamdulilah but still struggle here and there, especially since I’m in a non Muslim dominant Uni currently. I appreciate this 💖🌸
this was much needed. Lately I feel "ugly" and "unattractive" with thr hijab on (living in America is not making it easier) but shaytan tries so hardd but we will not listen
I live in America too, I’m 13 right now, and I think hijabs are sooo beautiful and elegant, I can’t wait until I’m 14 because I think that is when I will start wearing a hijab! Btw I’m sure you look great😘
Sarah Last may Allah Tallah make it easy for you after watching this I feel better knowing I’m not the only one. I look at it now that this urge comes and goes and it’s normal. Hang in there and remind yourself why you put it on in the first place.
thank you SO much for this video, i really needed to hear it. i have been struggling a lot with hijab because I just put it on for the first time this year (even though I reverted to Islam over 12 years ago). As a revert I have almost no support in terms of hijab and it's been tough.... your video helped me a lot, jazakAllah Khair sisters
i can not even explain to you how amazing this video was! Its been half a year since Ive started wering the hijab and the story that Tara shared about her art class was soooo inspirational! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. It’s really crazy how just earlier today I called my sister to have a heart to heart conversation about the struggles I am having with hijab and my feelings and how I have considered taking it off. This video really touched my heart and made me see things from a different light. It made me feel appreciative and and really gave me the strength to put it on proudly and with such surety. I can thank you enough. Allah truly gives us what we need and this just so happened to auto play next on RUclips. I absolutely love your channel and although this was a few years ago, I hope you’re having a good Ramadan. May Allah bless you ladies!❤️
I love you two. This video was amazing and so informative. I really admire you, and I feel sooooo related, I can't explain it properly but I do and I'm not even muslim I'm catholic!!! Thank you for sharing your experience and for being honest and most importantly for being yourselves. You go sisters!!!! 😊🙆🙏
Thank you very much for this video! I am a Christian living in Poland and sadly, I have very little knowledge about Islam. It was wonderful to be able to learn about your religion and the struggles you're facing because of it (guess we all have our insecurities regardless to what our religion is). Once again, thank you for being my teacher :)
thank you SO much! I have been wearing a hijab for a year and a half Alhamdulilah, and some days it becomes so incredibly hard and the struggle is seriously for real! But I thought it was just me, because I am the only one who wears it in my family and I am the only one in it when i go to uni etc. I just realised now thanks to you that I am not alone.. and a lot of other sisters go through this! Thank you again, I really needed this video. I am from The Netherlands by the way, where there aren't many muslims, and the ones that we do have usually dont cover..
Love how real this is! Love love love Tara’s story. Her story of the girl in her class was truly inspirational. Tara’s explanation was on point! More power to you both!!
Thank you guys😍 I cried, so beautiful friendship. I'm going to the same and the worst case scenario I don't have a friend like Tara to support me. May Allah helps me and keeps you guys so beautiful and strong like what you are. Omaya has sido mi inspiración, puedo ver tus tutoriales 100 veces jaja. The last week I started to wear hijab but just when I go to school and the people had told me I look beautiful😍 I feel comfortable and I feel like I'm doing the right thing. I'm a new muslim and just my mom knows about it. It's so sad and hard not to be free😣 or not to be who you wanna be. Is a big change in my life but in sha Allah one day I will feel free🙏. Alhamdulillah I have found Islam.
“You go from being a disco ball to a nightlight! 😂😂” sooo true! It’s a struggle to turn invisible but alhamdullilah ! Loved this video def went through a lot of similar situations.
I put my hijab when I was 7 years old. It was the best thing that I've ever did in my life. Putting hijab wasn't hard for me I just decided and I never regret my decision I would never imagine myself without it it is simply a beautiful part of me. Thank you both for the amazing vidio inorder to shed the light on this point.❤️
I love this video sooooooooooo much!!! My story is almost identical to Tara's, where I started wearing hijab when I was 11 and started having doubts later in life. I also definitely understand what Omaya means when she says she missed the attention. I never had the attention because I was so young when I started wearing hijab, but I can't say I didn't want it. I'm ashamed to say that I even took it off for a few days out of frustration. But now it's back on, and it's on for good inshallah! It's so comforting to know that other women struggle too! Tysssssssssssssssm for making this video. And pleeeease continue making videos with Tara!!
Mashallah you both are so sweet and I loved this video! Some things you guys mentioned made me, a hijabi gain even more love for my religion and have more reasons for wearing the hijab! You guys should do more videos together like this❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was really intrigued when you mentioned your struggle with identity and the hijab. I have been a hijabi for about 2 years and finding that balance has been really hard for me. I would really love to hear how you came to terms with that internal struggle.
The number of adverts throughout this video was excessive undeniably. However, the topics mentioned were truly amazing and highly relatable. For a very long time, I myself have had issues with maintaining my hijab & modest dressing, often feeling like what I was experiencing was an isolated case, but I'm very happy to know that it is more common than I once predicted, I'm very grateful for all your advice with that the sharing of your personal experiences and journey, which have made me feel less overly conscious of my own experiences.
this is the first time that i watch a video during 30 min without stop or cut it .just to say that you are really really like really amazing..i'm starting wearing hijab from middl school ..and it was my own choice no one forced me even in an islamic contry that moments still came i was always so so proud for being muslm hijabi girl and this video made me more and more proud thank you very much may allah pay you
I freaking love this video as a hijabi everything that you guys addressed was important, logical and inspiring to the point were today i was at uni for the third day as its my first year, a women (non hijabi) was complimenting a hijabi behind me and was questioning why shes wearing it when she looks so beautiful and would look much more pretty with her hair out. I could tell the hijabi wasn't able to really answer her question so i actually went up to them and i remembered Tara/Tarta (not sure how to spell it sorry) words and i re-phrased them and she was very very astonished by my response and wished more people knew the reasoning behind it instead of judging us. Thankyou for the video i loved it so much!!
This was one of the most inspiring videos I've ever watched in regards to Islam and women. Thank You! May Allah give you reward for motivating others out there iA
Wearing a hijab has never came across my mind however this video was very educational and inspiring...I even had my little sister watch it with me so she understands the meaning behind it....thank you for posting this video💛
Really amazing and relatable video! I personally started to wear hijab since I was 8, and all the struggles throughout the teenage years and the clothing trends were really a struggle to go through! But alhamdullelah for everything, and keep up the good work girl! Much love from Denmark 😘
Jazaka'Allahu Kyran guys, I can relate my mother never supported to the extent of her saying she will kick me out of the house if I ever wear a niqab. Mind you she comes from a very very religious background. The end bit got me. Beautifully explained. Shukran
I have a very different, but also a little the same, situation when it comes to clothing. I was raised in an extremely modest home, and even when you o something from a very young age, at some point, you get older and have to decide "why am I doing this?" and "will I continue?" I find a LOT, that the way I dress DEFINITELY removes attention from me. But I've gotten so used to it. And proud of it! A mentor of mine says "When you dress in the 'modern way', you're like a light bulb, providing a lot of flashy light. when you dress modestly, you become a laser, focusing yourself and others on your inside, on what really counts."
This was so inspiring! You two are wonderful, beautiful strong women, along with all the girls that wear hijab Mash Allah! Thank you for sharing your journey
“You’re going from a disco ball to a night light” 😂😂 Thank you both for sharing your personal journey, your thoughts and feelings on this subject. This is really insightful.
I have worn hijab since I was 11/12 years old. I am 36 now. I have always worn it. The only time I have taken it off is when I have been on holiday 2 or 3 times. Where there are few Muslim as I didn't want to have dirty looks or punched in the face. I am struggling in the least year to take it off. Just so i can style my hair and let my hair out in the sun. I don't know why Allah had to make it wajib for us to cover our hair. After all hair is not a private part. I don't know I might take it off and be a part time hijabi. Struggle is real!
I find this so sad. That anybody would live life according to "someone else's"(sorry I don't believe in any religion) standards, just because this is the right thing to do according to their religion. If you are ok with certain things your religion is telling you to do, sure go ahead. But why should you keep doing something if it makes you unhappy? This is YOUR life, your ONE AND ONLY life. From what I know about all gods is that they are supposed to be loving and understanding. So technically they shouldn't be mad at you, so long you still believe and are a good person. No?
Ma shaa Allah i wish i could like this video a million times! 🌷💕 Jazak’Allah khairan for this i really needed this 😊 You girls are stunningly gorgeous ma shaa Allah and may Allah swt reward you tremendously ❤️🌹
I’m new to Islam and I live in a very small town in British Columbia Canada where everyone knows everyone. At first I thought I will enter Islam but I will never wear hijab because I don’t want everyone in my town to notice the changes about me . A few weeks later after I said my shahadah , I found myself wearing hijab. I don’t know why or how but it is what it is and I’m proud of it although sometimes I got a weird or surprised look from people who knows me . I just believe that it’s Allah’s call and he’s guiding me through to the right path.
thank you so much for making a video like this one. I find that more hijabis should speak about the struggles of wearing Hijab because it is definitely hard being a young adult in the western world and wearing hijab..
The hardest part of wearing hijab is dealing with the various reactions I got from friends and family, especially when the start realizing that I’m slowly reverting to Islam. Some are supportive and some, not so much. Some friends have cut ties based on my decision to wear something that makes me more comfortable. I started wearing off and on various turbans and scarves at 34 after an accident, I’m now 39 and wear it almost all the time. I feel naked without it. Sometimes I feel the need to tone it down and look more Western when I’m around certain people…. It can be difficult to ease people into the change, i’m still the same person, I’m just look slightly different.
This friendship is so beautiful MashaAllah. The art class story at the end was just... I have no words. So illuminating and the explanation about hijab was so well said and connected all the dots. We need more deep convos with the two of you Inshallah!!!
This was so amazing I related to so much of what you guys saying I was almost getting teary eyed😂❤️I didn’t have any muslimah friends growing up so to know people were going through the exact same things I was is so nice
So refreshing to have clicked on this video. I just decided out of the blue to wear the hijab. I was thinking about it for a while now and was really scared about my mom's reaction. And I'm in the phase where my mom is not happy with me nor sad. We have not talked and she is literally my best friend so Inshallah she comes around as I make this transition successfully Inshallah.
Its always easier to start at a young age cuz when you're young you're still adapting to life and trying to figure who you really are while if you get older you already have a system thats in place and its always harder to get to new habits if you're older, we have a saying in arabic thats an old cat doesn't learn meaning its very hard to change habits once you got older that obviously goes for everything not just the hijab. as a guy i don't claim to know anything of how it feels to wear a hijab but i know its harder to change when you're older and go out of your comfort zone.
Really amazing , 🥺 and beautiful inspiring stories subhaanallaaaahh 💓 may Allah strengthen us and reward us for all the struggles we go through for his sake 💜
This is a fantastic video, it was honest and pure. Thank you girls! But I'd like to add that modesty is obligatory on both women and men. It's only women cover more because they have more attractive aspects to protect.
SubhanAllah this was sooo inspirational..i love u guys and ur video made me so proud that u represent islam on youtube..very gud role model and i loved ur honesty..love u guys so much..mashAllah to both of u beautiful ladies..xx
For me, its a challenge and its a scary because my mum and some of my cousins are not used to wearing hijab. However, thanks to Allah. I finally able to convinced my mum after 4 years to let me wear hijab. She told me 5 days ago that if I am sure and want to wear hijab. Then, wear it May/June 2020. Hijab is a decision and it involves whether you are ready and brave to wear it. Believe me, its not an easy decision but once I made the decision 4 years ago and finally get my mum's blessing. The feeling is none other than excited and rest assured. I feel at ease now because finally I am able to do what I know is supposed to be the right thing to do after reach certain age but its just that I and my mum denied it for years because we felt insecure and scared that life will get harder. Things will get harder or might not be. However, I feel at ease now because it feels like a burden of uncertainty about hijab has been lifted from my shoulder and mind. I understand that hijab does not mean that I am the most pious person but instead its for me to remind myself about certain things, protect me (my body and myself) from weary/evil eyes and having a physical connection to Allah S.W.T. I think I made the decision about wearing hijab and keep on convincing my mum when I am finally able to understand that.
Waaaw, lemme tell you guys my story, I was an badminton player for almost 11 years and I was wearing really short stuff till Thé age of 16 , then a summer I decide to we hicab ( I a sum coming from religious family) then my couch called me to talk to me, I went there and he told me there is a competition. I said I wearing hicab I can't be part of such a competition cüz dress isn't proper for such a sport and they weren't let hicabi girl join Thé Competition. Anyway my couch told me that can I take off my hicab? I said sorry but hicab isn't something that you can play and when you want off or in. Love you guys. Wish to see more videos from both of you.
I’m Christian and I think hijabs are absolutely beautiful. I desire to wear them so terribly. Everything about it is beautiful to me. I feel support from my Lord Jesus. I feel He’ll be okay if I wear it. 😊♥️
You're so inspiring ❤️ I love you girl ❤️ I'm 19 and I can't wear mine because my parents would kick me out and people where I am are so hateful (I live in Texas 😔)
I just reverted last week Alhamdulliah, I had to tell my parents because I didn’t want to hide it from them. They were not happy but at the end of the day I’m their daughter and they love me and have to accept me.
good for you my parents are NOT like that . stop assuming that everyones parents will just magically accept them because mine would literally murder me.
Kat Mckoy you’re not going to make a very good Muslim if you keep talking to people like that. I wasn’t assuming anything, I was saying my experience. My parents didn’t magically accept me, I know they aren’t happy with my decision, but they still love me I’m their daughter. If they stop loving you because of your choice then they’re pretty bad parents to begin with. Keep talking to people like that Allah will not be happy with you.
Such an inspirational video girls! I love how you are so empowered and strong in your decisions. That's how every woman should be. It's the essence of feminism. And this video also shows that feminism comes in every way and form from different kind of women. The important thing is that we are able to decide for ourselves, what we want to do with our bodies. May Allah bless you and your friendship!
Hi, I am Barbara from Poland, and I am almost sure that u will not see that comment because this video is so old, but I wanna say Thank you to you and Tara that u record it because your conversion convince me to wear hijab constantly. In Poland we don't have mostly any Hijabi on a street and our society is so judgemental and harsh on everything what is different. So thank you that u give me encourage to do it and your video just let me feel safe in my decision. 🥰❤️ jazakallah khair
I'm twelve right now and I've wanted to wear the hijab for about a year and a half now, but I was so scared to tell my mom because with our family, no one wears the hijab. I was also scared, because she wasn't totally for the idea of wearing a hijab, she felt like it was a way to control women. Slowly about 8 months ago I started hinting that I would want to wear it and I finally told her, and she was surprisingly accepting about it. I was still a little worried about how other people in our family would feel about it, and if they would judge me for literally being the only one in our family to want to wear it, but about a week later I learned that my slightly older cousin had actually told her mom that she wants to wear one too. We were both shocked that we had both wanted to wear one and it made us both feel better about wanting to wear it because we could do it together.
Omg love your videos. I am a Christian and I believe in head covering. I cover my hair. I can seriously relate to a lot of what y'all are saying. Btw I live in Florida. I get the covering and Florida heat.
So glad of you Omaya and Sara. Your stories make us stronger and that’s true, every hijaby has struggles, we may seek for Allah help and blessings to keep us safe and don’t let the shaytan be the first reason of our struggle.
Right after watching this video...I had a question in mind and ofcourse I am muslim wearing hijab since I was little and I am an Arabian born africa......soo my question is the purpose of wearing hijab be modest and of course modesty is beauty...and I want to make this clear that I don't mean to offend but just asking respectfully as to why you wear hijab at the same time wearing make up and of course a loot of it ...if It comes to me I just wear modestly without make up and if I wear make then its just a little of it I know people are saying that I am out of fashion and whatever but I believe it's not so modest after you wear make up because you'll take some of people's attention I hope I am not being rude but just trying to make this right
So glad of you Omaya and Sara. Your stories make us stronger and that’s true, every hijaby has struggles, we may seek for Allah help and blessings to keep us safe and don’t let the shaytan be the first reason of our struggle. Kisses❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so relatable!!! Thank you so much for this video!!! Me being a teenager its really difficult...But also I am blessed to have such friends who support me so very much!!! 💜💜
I haven’t worn hijab 🧕 except to the masjid/etc. but I have been collecting more hijabi/modest clothing. Please pray for me that Allah swt gives me strength to get to the point that I’ll be wearing hijab. I love you ladies. Salaam
have you started yet?
NO “ladies’HIJAB” found in the Quran. -
(The word HIJAB is used in the Quran but NOT for ladies.)
Check these Ayath/verses that they say have Hijab in them. (But not found)
In Quran 33.59 -
“ … JILBABs over themselves…”
in Quran 24.31 -
“… KHIMARs over the JAYBs..”
The word is KHIMAR in the Quran.24.31
- Root Meaning of KHIMAR is just a COVERING,
it can also be a neck scarf, any scarf, dupatta, chadar, etc.
There is no head, hair, veil, niqab or any such importance in the Quran,
They have SHIFTED the IMPORTANCE away from the JAYB.
Check the transliteration
in Quran 24.31:
“yadribna bi’Khumur’ihinna ala juyoob’ihinna”
[Plurals : khumur, juyoob]
// *..put-forth COVERINGs OVER THE JAYBs…*//
KHIMAR = COVERING
and
To verify JAYB from the Quran
check this example in
//Quran 28.32
“…. yadaka fee jayb’ika …”. //
“… put your hand in your Jayb..”
(clearly a pocket or opening in the dress)
(or) some people translate it as chest/ bosoms coz that’s where they understand the Jayb is.
Again, please see where the importance is in the verse:
“put-forth COVERINGs over the JAYBs”
- but the EXPLANATIONS of ‘Sect’ /Firqa leaders promoted the concept of ladies’HIJAB
- by adding it in books written much later after the Quran AND by adding words with brackets in translations and explanations - gradually shifting the importance of COVERING the Jayb
- giving importance away from the Jayb seems like DISTRACTION from the main EMPHASIS.
AND also - these Firqa leaders wrote the Dictionary centuries later to push their meanings
- please ask them : when and who wrote the Dictionary that they show their meanings from?
We should not accept new meanings to the words after the word is used in the Quran
- in the present era the meanings can be understood by checking the same word usage within the Quran
- see where the word is used again.
QURAN is it’s own DICTIONARY within it - (by using the important words in other verses and locking the meanings).
They should know when the same root word is used for khumr/intoxicants even then it’s used for “COVER”
- - any KHUMR /- intoxicant or alcohol
COVERS the ability INSIDE THE MIND - -
Please NOTE : khumr /intoxicants/ALCOHOL does NOT cover the HAIR or outer-head.
How can a religion claiming to be for the whole world - promote desert clothing for far off freezing lands?
They’re Spreading culture and calling it religion - They took the desert clothing that is needed in sand storms and called it religion
OTHER religious groups were ALREADY wearing it in the desert.
IF anyone wants TO FOLLOW WORDS OF ALLAH then they should verify with the Quran - coz every secondary source should match with the Quran
AND they should not add words in translations.
JILBAB:
Means any decent OUTER CLOTHING worn above the under-garments - it’s plural is JALABIB
The verse in the Quran 33.59 is about JILBAB - it’s about wearing outer clothing - where it also says that “they can be RECOGNISED and NOT HARASSED”
Here the condition is to be recognised :
how will anyone RECOGNISE if you cover fully?
- So avoid tight clothing - it’s really simple as per Quran.
Wearing clothes that the security personnel and other people are scared of coz they cannot recognise the person inside - as a result you face difficulty and then that results in feeling harassed.
Check the verse Q.33.59 below and remember that some translations or interpretations have added words in brackets - so look at Arabic /or word-to-word translation to VERIFY, yes VERIFY.
“… alay’ihinna min jalabib’ihinna… “
(Plural-is JALABIB)
//Quran 33.59
O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their JILBABs over themselves .
In this way it is more likely that they will be RECOGNISED
and not be HARASSED.
And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful//
--
Notice it’s only talking about properly covering themselves - there is NO emphasis on head, hair, face covering in this verse also.
-
Some of them will not VERIFY what is in the Quran - word by word.
And you may get to see how they will jump to start calling IGNORANT and names to the person showing them the research.
@@sam_mirza aint reading all that.
33:59 O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized ˹as virtuous˺ and not be harassed. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
@@jerusha9423
Oh ok, I will try and put together what’s in the above comment about Q33.59, if that helps.
JILBAB:
Means any decent OUTER CLOTHING worn above the under-garments
(not necessarily a third layer of clothing)
The verse in the Quran 33.59 is about JILBAB - it’s about wearing outer clothing - where it also says that “they can be RECOGNISED and NOT HARASSED”
Here the condition is to be recognised :
how will anyone RECOGNISE if you cover fully?

JILBABs over themselves

@@sam_mirza what is your argument brother? what exactly are you againts? is what God says not clear enough. and please dont change the quran verses lmao.
"Wearing clothes that the security personnel and other people are scared of coz they cannot recognise the person inside - as a result you face difficulty and then that results in feeling harassed" what does this even mean bro lmaooo. You are meant to cover your awrah, and for a woman their awrah is evrything except face and hands. How you observe hijab is your choice however there is a clear and correct way. Observing hijab is also how you behave and carry yourself.
Are you even muslim bro
Im not a muslim and I wear the hijab.🧕🏻 I literally started to wear it this senior year. I don’t like showing my hair and I feel naked without it. It was hard for me to put it on because I was afraid of judgment at school because im literally a white girl wearing a hijab. My family didn’t approve whatsoever because they aren’t a part of any religion. I even went to my church wearing it. I was so happy that no one judged me. I like wearing it and I feel Secure.
Alexandra Breen hey, even the Bible says women should wear the scarf 😊
Awwwww May Allah make it easier for you ❤️
This is fake af. Only a real hijabi would say they feel naked without it. You can’t feel naked without it unless you have been wearing it for years since a young age which is not likely with your parents
Zu Sh umm I really don’t like the negativity. I’ve been covering my head for years but just not the hijab style. Please don’t judge if you don’t know the whole story.
May Allah Guide you
I think hijab is soooo beautiful and when I see young ladies wearing it, it makes me wish I could be as strong as them. Inshallah one day I will have the strength and courage to wear hijab.. I am so scared to do it now but inshallah one day I will.
I was afraid to wear it too I started when I was 23 what inspired me was the strength of and story asiyah (R.A)
How are they strong , its strong not wear to it in the face of pressure from family and society around them , especially if its very conservative..women should not feel the need to cover their hair
Be inspired baby!
Inshallah I will pray for you🙏❤️❤️
For me, its a challenge and its a scary because my mum and some of my cousins are not used to wearing hijab. However, thanks to Allah. I finally able to convinced my mum after 4 years to let me wear hijab. She told me 5 days ago that if I am sure and want to wear hijab. Then, wear it May/June 2020. Hijab is a decision and it involves whether you are ready and brave to wear it.
Believe me, its not an easy decision but once I made the decision 4 years ago and finally get my mum's blessing. The feeling is none other than excited and rest assured. I feel at ease now because finally I am able to do what I know is supposed to be the right thing to do after reach certain age but its just that I and my mum denied it for years because we felt insecure and scared that life will get harder.
I understand that hijab does not mean that I am the most pious person but instead its for me to remind myself about certain things, protect me (my body and myself) from weary/evil eyes and having a physical connection to Allah S.W.T.
I think I made the decision about wearing hijab and keep on convincing my mum when only I am able to understand that.
I hope you will be able to make the decision someday or soon. Wish you the best.
Wow this was a beautiful video simply because it was sooo real. I love your friend Omaya! She really said something that struck me down to my core/heart about how empowering the hijab really is. I’m not Muslim but I’m interested in the religion and want to learn more and who knows maybe one day I can call myself a Muslim. Thanks so much for sharing this chica! Muchos besos y abrazos
Yahaira Oviedo I'm happy to hear that
Believe me Islam is peace
And you will know in the future that Islam is the true religion
Salam from Morocco :)
May you be guided & find eternal bliss
Yahaira Oviedo yes people only know the outer layer of Islam, which they think of need to wear hijab everyday and pray five times a day
But if u really were to know what it is, it’s a beautiful religion and a peaceful one too! But all I’m saying is follow your heat❤️
May Allah help you Yahaire!
Beautiful, just beautiful! I am one of your Jewish followers. I cover and i am so proud of you both sisters! Beautiful.
RegallyWrapped I know yudaism and Islam are so similar, people say we worship the same god but in different ways, but I don't know that Jewish women also wearing hijab ..
Thanks sister u r good
I'm trying to write something but you left me speechless ☺ I was crying watching this video because I can relate to it so much! After watching Omaya's hijab story it gave me so much strength that couple weeks after it I have started wearing hijab, which was my wish for a years. May Allah bless you both, you are such an inspiration ❤🌷
When Tara gave her speech at the end about Hijab and when she was sharing a story that reflected on the stereotype of Islamic women being “oppressed” was absolutely inspiring and amazing. Because I recently started wearing the hijab and struggled with the same thought. After watching this video, my struggles disappeared and now I feel stronger, prouder and beautiful Alhamdulilah! Thank you guys so much ♥️♥️
This literally made me feel teary eyed because I feel exactly exactly the same. I love getting support when I myself struggle, instead of the 'take it off' people because those people hurt me and make it harder to fight this fight. What Tala said, that the prophets and his companions struggled so much to establish our religion, and we women are carrying that legacy onward...I got chills. I love you ladies
Lol. She could ride in a tinted car, with music, and without her hijab. I love hearing these stories. I don’t know many hijabi’s in real life, but I see so many Instagram/ social media woman going from hijab to no hijab.I tried to wear a turban hijab and so many people looked at me and I felt that I had 3 arms, so I stopped. Hopefully one day I can try with hijab again.
Dariii - In’sha’Allah.. Just take the first step.. I stand behind you. I understand how it feels to walk with three arms, haha.
The reason is people lack the understanding of why they wear hijab and do it for the wrong reasons e.g fashion. When you learn about it and do it for the sake of Allah alone, you will fall in love with it and never take it off :)
Don’t wear turban it isn’t correct hijab. You’re supposed to cover your breasts with your khimar. I’m not hijabi either right now but i’A I plan to put it back on in a year or so
This was an amazing, so informative and just real. I appreciate you two took the time to share your stories and be so confident and so beautiful. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘😘 your friendship is a wonderful one of a kind.
Thanks 🙏 its what i felt as well and I promise it’s the best
Any sister that puts on a Hijab is so Beautiful. It's very Beautiful
I started wearing hijab in 3rd grade. Then took it off in 5th grade. Then finally put it back on in 8th grade 2002 and have been wearing it ever since hamdulilah.
I hope this helps someone who is considering to wear the hijab. I would wear the hijab to the masjid, to the Sunday school and during the month of Ramadan. Soon I started wearing the turban because I was too scared to put the scarf on my head and after about 4 or 5 months, I started wearing the scarf. It was a two-year process and it did not happen overnight but I knew I wanted it and it just felt right. It takes time to feel comfortable and not notice the stares you get but what keeps me going is the feeling of peace in my heart that I got after putting the hijab on so I choose that heart comfort over the society comfort...if that makes sense.
Mashallah
I so feel the girl of germany .. im living in germany and im a convert and the way people are here is just not ok... due to this i am not able to wear it! You always give so much hope Omaya! Thank you!
Asalamu’aleykum ❤️ mucho amorrr
I started wearing the hijab a few weeks ago and what you were saying about not getting attention anymore and not knowing how to shine/ what you’re identity is resonates so much. Everyone assumes that you feel amazing as soon as you put it on but you’re video made me feel that it’s okay to be unsure for the beginning part. I’m hoping with time it gets easier. Also I love tour friendship, it so beautiful to see. May Allah keep you friends forever xx
Wow this is the best hijab talk on RUclips thus far! I have been wearing hijab for 3 years alhamdulilah but still struggle here and there, especially since I’m in a non Muslim dominant Uni currently. I appreciate this 💖🌸
this was much needed. Lately I feel "ugly" and "unattractive" with thr hijab on (living in America is not making it easier) but shaytan tries so hardd but we will not listen
Sarah Last May Allah help us all :)
Me too Shaytan always try to think like that but I discovered I'm stronger than him 😍 Alhamdolilah
I live in America too, I’m 13 right now, and I think hijabs are sooo beautiful and elegant, I can’t wait until I’m 14 because I think that is when I will start wearing a hijab! Btw I’m sure you look great😘
Sarah Last may Allah Tallah make it easy for you after watching this I feel better knowing I’m not the only one. I look at it now that this urge comes and goes and it’s normal. Hang in there and remind yourself why you put it on in the first place.
Me too. And I hate the fact that the people around us r making it hard. May Allah guide us.
I started wearing a hijab 🧕 when I was 4 years old and I travel through a lot but it’s all good alhamdulillah🤲🏽
4 years???? it's so early!!!
Me too girl Masha Allah I think you are Somali it's pretty common in Somalia
AishaAisha Aisha
I am Somali and your prettier thanks btw
Hanan Ketma Somali woman's Masha Allah😚😚
she wasn't forced smh most african muslims wear it at a young age we aren't forced
thank you SO much for this video, i really needed to hear it. i have been struggling a lot with hijab because I just put it on for the first time this year (even though I reverted to Islam over 12 years ago). As a revert I have almost no support in terms of hijab and it's been tough.... your video helped me a lot, jazakAllah Khair sisters
I’m in middle school and this was so relatable. This video really helped me cause I wear hijab so thank u
Hajrah Ali same!😂
same omg
i can not even explain to you how amazing this video was! Its been half a year since Ive started wering the hijab and the story that Tara shared about her art class was soooo inspirational! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. It’s really crazy how just earlier today I called my sister to have a heart to heart conversation about the struggles I am having with hijab and my feelings and how I have considered taking it off. This video really touched my heart and made me see things from a different light. It made me feel appreciative and and really gave me the strength to put it on proudly and with such surety. I can thank you enough. Allah truly gives us what we need and this just so happened to auto play next on RUclips. I absolutely love your channel and although this was a few years ago, I hope you’re having a good Ramadan. May Allah bless you ladies!❤️
I love you two. This video was amazing and so informative. I really admire you, and I feel sooooo related, I can't explain it properly but I do and I'm not even muslim I'm catholic!!! Thank you for sharing your experience and for being honest and most importantly for being yourselves. You go sisters!!!! 😊🙆🙏
Thank you very much for this video! I am a Christian living in Poland and sadly, I have very little knowledge about Islam. It was wonderful to be able to learn about your religion and the struggles you're facing because of it (guess we all have our insecurities regardless to what our religion is). Once again, thank you for being my teacher :)
thank you SO much! I have been wearing a hijab for a year and a half Alhamdulilah, and some days it becomes so incredibly hard and the struggle is seriously for real! But I thought it was just me, because I am the only one who wears it in my family and I am the only one in it when i go to uni etc. I just realised now thanks to you that I am not alone.. and a lot of other sisters go through this! Thank you again, I really needed this video. I am from The Netherlands by the way, where there aren't many muslims, and the ones that we do have usually dont cover..
Love how real this is! Love love love Tara’s story. Her story of the girl in her class was truly inspirational. Tara’s explanation was on point! More power to you both!!
Thank you guys😍 I cried, so beautiful friendship. I'm going to the same and the worst case scenario I don't have a friend like Tara to support me. May Allah helps me and keeps you guys so beautiful and strong like what you are. Omaya has sido mi inspiración, puedo ver tus tutoriales 100 veces jaja. The last week I started to wear hijab but just when I go to school and the people had told me I look beautiful😍 I feel comfortable and I feel like I'm doing the right thing. I'm a new muslim and just my mom knows about it. It's so sad and hard not to be free😣 or not to be who you wanna be. Is a big change in my life but in sha Allah one day I will feel free🙏. Alhamdulillah I have found Islam.
“You go from being a disco ball to a nightlight! 😂😂” sooo true! It’s a struggle to turn invisible but alhamdullilah ! Loved this video def went through a lot of similar situations.
I put my hijab when I was 7 years old. It was the best thing that I've ever did in my life. Putting hijab wasn't hard for me I just decided and I never regret my decision I would never imagine myself without it it is simply a beautiful part of me. Thank you both for the amazing vidio inorder to shed the light on this point.❤️
U don’t even know how grateful I am for this video 😭 thank u so much 💗
Beautiful testimony! I'm a covered woman of faith (non muslim) and this resonated with me. Thank you both. Continued blessings and prosperity!
I love this video sooooooooooo much!!! My story is almost identical to Tara's, where I started wearing hijab when I was 11 and started having doubts later in life. I also definitely understand what Omaya means when she says she missed the attention. I never had the attention because I was so young when I started wearing hijab, but I can't say I didn't want it. I'm ashamed to say that I even took it off for a few days out of frustration. But now it's back on, and it's on for good inshallah! It's so comforting to know that other women struggle too! Tysssssssssssssssm for making this video. And pleeeease continue making videos with Tara!!
"you go from a disco ball....to a night light." -Tara 😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️
*Omaya Zein* _You’re so beautiful_ *Mashallah* _I love these hijab Style_
Hey my heavenly angel
Mashallah you both are so sweet and I loved this video! Some things you guys mentioned made me, a hijabi gain even more love for my religion and have more reasons for wearing the hijab! You guys should do more videos together like this❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was really intrigued when you mentioned your struggle with identity and the hijab. I have been a hijabi for about 2 years and finding that balance has been really hard for me. I would really love to hear how you came to terms with that internal struggle.
Omg ! I love your friendship youu guuuys 😍 may allah bless you two ! 🙏
The number of adverts throughout this video was excessive undeniably. However, the topics mentioned were truly amazing and highly relatable. For a very long time, I myself have had issues with maintaining my hijab & modest dressing, often feeling like what I was experiencing was an isolated case, but I'm very happy to know that it is more common than I once predicted, I'm very grateful for all your advice with that the sharing of your personal experiences and journey, which have made me feel less overly conscious of my own experiences.
this is the first time that i watch a video during 30 min without stop or cut it .just to say that you are really really like really amazing..i'm starting wearing hijab from middl school ..and it was my own choice no one forced me even in an islamic contry that moments still came
i was always so so proud for being muslm hijabi girl and this video made me more and more proud thank you very much may allah pay you
I freaking love this video as a hijabi everything that you guys addressed was important, logical and inspiring to the point were today i was at uni for the third day as its my first year, a women (non hijabi) was complimenting a hijabi behind me and was questioning why shes wearing it when she looks so beautiful and would look much more pretty with her hair out. I could tell the hijabi wasn't able to really answer her question so i actually went up to them and i remembered Tara/Tarta (not sure how to spell it sorry) words and i re-phrased them and she was very very astonished by my response and wished more people knew the reasoning behind it instead of judging us. Thankyou for the video i loved it so much!!
This was one of the most inspiring videos I've ever watched in regards to Islam and women. Thank You! May Allah give you reward for motivating others out there iA
This is so beautiful. Encourages me to keep going. Also... your top is so cute 😭
Wearing a hijab has never came across my mind however this video was very educational and inspiring...I even had my little sister watch it with me so she understands the meaning behind it....thank you for posting this video💛
Really amazing and relatable video! I personally started to wear hijab since I was 8, and all the struggles throughout the teenage years and the clothing trends were really a struggle to go through! But alhamdullelah for everything, and keep up the good work girl! Much love from Denmark 😘
Jazaka'Allahu Kyran guys, I can relate my mother never supported to the extent of her saying she will kick me out of the house if I ever wear a niqab. Mind you she comes from a very very religious background.
The end bit got me. Beautifully explained. Shukran
_JustMaz niqab is not in The Quran.
Tara! I always like when you appear in Omaya's videos
This really helps all sisters who are struggling wearing it!! Jazakallah Khair 🤍
I love watching these two!! Such a beautiful friendship with Islam as the root. Alhamdulillah 💜
Aw Omaya I’m so happy for you, you have me in tears, standing up for yourself and doing the thing 🥰🤗♥️
I have a very different, but also a little the same, situation when it comes to clothing. I was raised in an extremely modest home, and even when you o something from a very young age, at some point, you get older and have to decide "why am I doing this?" and "will I continue?" I find a LOT, that the way I dress DEFINITELY removes attention from me. But I've gotten so used to it. And proud of it! A mentor of mine says "When you dress in the 'modern way', you're like a light bulb, providing a lot of flashy light. when you dress modestly, you become a laser, focusing yourself and others on your inside, on what really counts."
This was so inspiring! You two are wonderful, beautiful strong women, along with all the girls that wear hijab Mash Allah! Thank you for sharing your journey
I love you omaya, you are sure a role model to young girls.
Love from Trinidad and Tobago
“You’re going from a disco ball to a night light” 😂😂
Thank you both for sharing your personal journey, your thoughts and feelings on this subject. This is really insightful.
I have worn hijab since I was 11/12 years old. I am 36 now. I have always worn it. The only time I have taken it off is when I have been on holiday 2 or 3 times. Where there are few Muslim as I didn't want to have dirty looks or punched in the face. I am struggling in the least year to take it off. Just so i can style my hair and let my hair out in the sun. I don't know why Allah had to make it wajib for us to cover our hair. After all hair is not a private part. I don't know I might take it off and be a part time hijabi. Struggle is real!
Allah knows best. We don't know everything. Because Allah is the All known. It's a test from allah. I feel also insecure ofcourse. But al hamdullilah.
I find this so sad. That anybody would live life according to "someone else's"(sorry I don't believe in any religion) standards, just because this is the right thing to do according to their religion. If you are ok with certain things your religion is telling you to do, sure go ahead. But why should you keep doing something if it makes you unhappy? This is YOUR life, your ONE AND ONLY life. From what I know about all gods is that they are supposed to be loving and understanding. So technically they shouldn't be mad at you, so long you still believe and are a good person. No?
Ma shaa Allah i wish i could like this video a million times! 🌷💕 Jazak’Allah khairan for this i really needed this 😊 You girls are stunningly gorgeous ma shaa Allah and may Allah swt reward you tremendously ❤️🌹
Thank you for your beautiful story on hijab. Currently I’m considering on wearing hijab and honestly struggle to set my heart on it.
I’m new to Islam and I live in a very small town in British Columbia Canada where everyone knows everyone. At first I thought I will enter Islam but I will never wear hijab because I don’t want everyone in my town to notice the changes about me .
A few weeks later after I said my shahadah , I found myself wearing hijab. I don’t know why or how but it is what it is and I’m proud of it although sometimes I got a weird or surprised look from people who knows me . I just believe that it’s Allah’s call and he’s guiding me through to the right path.
thank you so much for making a video like this one. I find that more hijabis should speak about the struggles of wearing Hijab because it is definitely hard being a young adult in the western world and wearing hijab..
Oh my god the story at the end that Tarrah told is so moving and inspired me so much
The hardest part of wearing hijab is dealing with the various reactions I got from friends and family, especially when the start realizing that I’m slowly reverting to Islam. Some are supportive and some, not so much. Some friends have cut ties based on my decision to wear something that makes me more comfortable. I started wearing off and on various turbans and scarves at 34 after an accident, I’m now 39 and wear it almost all the time. I feel naked without it. Sometimes I feel the need to tone it down and look more Western when I’m around certain people…. It can be difficult to ease people into the change, i’m still the same person, I’m just look slightly different.
Thank you for this video. I can’t put into words how much this has helped me ❤️
This friendship is so beautiful MashaAllah. The art class story at the end was just... I have no words. So illuminating and the explanation about hijab was so well said and connected all the dots. We need more deep convos with the two of you Inshallah!!!
This was so amazing I related to so much of what you guys saying I was almost getting teary eyed😂❤️I didn’t have any muslimah friends growing up so to know people were going through the exact same things I was is so nice
While watching this video, I felt so grateful for inspirations like you two talking about this ! Thank you so much❤️❤️
So refreshing to have clicked on this video. I just decided out of the blue to wear the hijab. I was thinking about it for a while now and was really scared about my mom's reaction. And I'm in the phase where my mom is not happy with me nor sad. We have not talked and she is literally my best friend so Inshallah she comes around as I make this transition successfully Inshallah.
I love your dynamic with Tara. You ladies are so genuine and I loved hearing your stories and advice
You guys are so beautiful Mashallah Plz make more videos with Tara!
Its always easier to start at a young age cuz when you're young you're still adapting to life and trying to figure who you really are while if you get older you already have a system thats in place and its always harder to get to new habits if you're older, we have a saying in arabic thats an old cat doesn't learn meaning its very hard to change habits once you got older that obviously goes for everything not just the hijab. as a guy i don't claim to know anything of how it feels to wear a hijab but i know its harder to change when you're older and go out of your comfort zone.
Thank you so much I been feeling so insecure lately...being in high school in hijab isnt the easiest thing
Really amazing , 🥺 and beautiful inspiring stories subhaanallaaaahh 💓 may Allah strengthen us and reward us for all the struggles we go through for his sake 💜
This is a fantastic video, it was honest and pure. Thank you girls!
But I'd like to add that modesty is obligatory on both women and men. It's only women cover more because they have more attractive aspects to protect.
SubhanAllah this was sooo inspirational..i love u guys and ur video made me so proud that u represent islam on youtube..very gud role model and i loved ur honesty..love u guys so much..mashAllah to both of u beautiful ladies..xx
LITERALLYYYYYYYYY loved everything about this video. Great job ladies! Thanks for sharing and keeping it real. I agree 100%
For me, its a challenge and its a scary because my mum and some of my cousins are not used to wearing hijab. However, thanks to Allah. I finally able to convinced my mum after 4 years to let me wear hijab. She told me 5 days ago that if I am sure and want to wear hijab. Then, wear it May/June 2020. Hijab is a decision and it involves whether you are ready and brave to wear it.
Believe me, its not an easy decision but once I made the decision 4 years ago and finally get my mum's blessing. The feeling is none other than excited and rest assured. I feel at ease now because finally I am able to do what I know is supposed to be the right thing to do after reach certain age but its just that I and my mum denied it for years because we felt insecure and scared that life will get harder.
Things will get harder or might not be. However, I feel at ease now because it feels like a burden of uncertainty about hijab has been lifted from my shoulder and mind.
I understand that hijab does not mean that I am the most pious person but instead its for me to remind myself about certain things, protect me (my body and myself) from weary/evil eyes and having a physical connection to Allah S.W.T.
I think I made the decision about wearing hijab and keep on convincing my mum when I am finally able to understand that.
Absolutely love everything about this. So raw and honest, definitely needed to hear it! Thank you both!!
When I finished this amazing video I started clapping out loud lol! Amazing job Tara and Omaya, love you girls ❤️
Waaaw, lemme tell you guys my story, I was an badminton player for almost 11 years and I was wearing really short stuff till Thé age of 16 , then a summer I decide to we hicab ( I a sum coming from religious family) then my couch called me to talk to me, I went there and he told me there is a competition. I said I wearing hicab I can't be part of such a competition cüz dress isn't proper for such a sport and they weren't let hicabi girl join Thé Competition. Anyway my couch told me that can I take off my hicab?
I said sorry but hicab isn't something that you can play and when you want off or in.
Love you guys. Wish to see more videos from both of you.
Mashallah this was a great video.. ur friend is amazing (just like you) loved the last part of the story time. 😍😍😍
I’m Christian and I think hijabs are absolutely beautiful. I desire to wear them so terribly. Everything about it is beautiful to me. I feel support from my Lord Jesus. I feel He’ll be okay if I wear it. 😊♥️
He will be bcz in the bible it is also said that women should cover her head
You're so inspiring ❤️ I love you girl ❤️ I'm 19 and I can't wear mine because my parents would kick me out and people where I am are so hateful (I live in Texas 😔)
Kat Mckoy your parents aren't Muslim?
I just reverted last week Alhamdulliah, I had to tell my parents because I didn’t want to hide it from them. They were not happy but at the end of the day I’m their daughter and they love me and have to accept me.
kendra cooper alhamdulillah that you reverted, may Allah swt make it easy for you.
good for you my parents are NOT like that . stop assuming that everyones parents will just magically accept them because mine would literally murder me.
Kat Mckoy you’re not going to make a very good Muslim if you keep talking to people like that. I wasn’t assuming anything, I was saying my experience. My parents didn’t magically accept me, I know they aren’t happy with my decision, but they still love me I’m their daughter. If they stop loving you because of your choice then they’re pretty bad parents to begin with. Keep talking to people like that Allah will not be happy with you.
Such an inspirational video girls! I love how you are so empowered and strong in your decisions. That's how every woman should be. It's the essence of feminism. And this video also shows that feminism comes in every way and form from different kind of women. The important thing is that we are able to decide for ourselves, what we want to do with our bodies. May Allah bless you and your friendship!
Hi, I am Barbara from Poland, and I am almost sure that u will not see that comment because this video is so old, but I wanna say Thank you to you and Tara that u record it because your conversion convince me to wear hijab constantly. In Poland we don't have mostly any Hijabi on a street and our society is so judgemental and harsh on everything what is different. So thank you that u give me encourage to do it and your video just let me feel safe in my decision. 🥰❤️ jazakallah khair
I'm twelve right now and I've wanted to wear the hijab for about a year and a half now, but I was so scared to tell my mom because with our family, no one wears the hijab. I was also scared, because she wasn't totally for the idea of wearing a hijab, she felt like it was a way to control women. Slowly about 8 months ago I started hinting that I would want to wear it and I finally told her, and she was surprisingly accepting about it. I was still a little worried about how other people in our family would feel about it, and if they would judge me for literally being the only one in our family to want to wear it, but about a week later I learned that my slightly older cousin had actually told her mom that she wants to wear one too. We were both shocked that we had both wanted to wear one and it made us both feel better about wanting to wear it because we could do it together.
This is honestly my favorite video of yours and on youtube right now!!! JAK
This video made me tear up😭, maybe because i have the same feelings idk it's so weird 🙃💔
WOW we need more influencers like Omaya, machAllah!

I loved this video it made me feel like I was right there with you guys in the conversation! You’re both amazing mashaAllah ❤️
Omg love your videos. I am a Christian and I believe in head covering. I cover my hair. I can seriously relate to a lot of what y'all are saying. Btw I live in Florida. I get the covering and Florida heat.
I took off my hijab 2 yrs ago now and I think I want to put it back on now. Things have changed since then. Alhumdulillah
This video is amazing!! I honestly think hijab is soo beautiful and courageous!! You both are beautiful and so fun to watch! 💞💞
So glad of you Omaya and Sara. Your stories make us stronger and that’s true, every hijaby has struggles, we may seek for Allah help and blessings to keep us safe and don’t let the shaytan be the first reason of our struggle.
Right after watching this video...I had a question in mind and ofcourse I am muslim wearing hijab since I was little and I am an Arabian born africa......soo my question is the purpose of wearing hijab be modest and of course modesty is beauty...and I want to make this clear that I don't mean to offend but just asking respectfully as to why you wear hijab at the same time wearing make up and of course a loot of it ...if It comes to me I just wear modestly without make up and if I wear make then its just a little of it I know people are saying that I am out of fashion and whatever but I believe it's not so modest after you wear make up because you'll take some of people's attention I hope I am not being rude but just trying to make this right
I loved Tara's story at end and how she answered the girl's question beautifully 💕💕
so much respect for you guys ❤️❤️
Yaay your back! 💘

I hope to see more videos like this 😍
