    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is another great video by Habiba. I can affirm that everything here was spot on as an ex-igcse chemistry student myself. I have to admit it was nostalgic remembering these stuff, and ngl that pick up line was really great I think I might even steal it in the future (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧
    Again, great video! Keep going! Waiting for your next videos! Maybe even starting with an AS level series after finishing all your IGCSEs will be a great advancement that I am personally excited for.

      Thank you so much! For the Super Thanks too!!!! This means a lot to me.. and made me Super Happy (pun intended 😅)
      It was very funny and surprising to find an entire list of chemistry pick up lines in my IGCSE chem note folder. Very unexpected tbh 😭 it made me laugh
      I'll definitely follow this video up for you with a first language arabic guide as a series finale. I don't know if CS is possible anymore since I checked the syllabus and they had a huge revamp, but I'll try to for sure

    Hi,
    May I ask if it is possible for you to link the quizlets and definitions that you and maybe other resources your teachers provided you with in like a shared folder? My teacher isn’t that helpful with resources so it would mean the world to me if you can help get me access to them. Thanks.

    Hii! Thank u for the amazing content. In my igcse TBs, there are lot of informations which are not specified in the syllabus. Should i study those parts too??

    • @habibaLotfy
      @habibaLotfy  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Nope! Trust me the textbook has a lot of unnecessary points. Just check in with your teacher to make sure they're not in the syllabus and double check before you ignore that information

      @user-ul1zy8dh5l Před 6 měsíci

      for example, in the book they have mentioned dynamic and static friction. but in the syllabus, they just mentioned the definition of solid friction. so will they ask about the type of friction in the exam

    saw my sister in islam, im from india and in uni, i have nothing to do with this video 😂 but anyways here to appreciate and girl, keep it up. i myself used to make videos back then too (yes rn i dont make videos but soon continue inshaAllah) i like to make short movies atm so yeah, so what i was saying? yeah, keep it up, this video making thing will teach u things and improve many things and try to keep improving and dont settle my sister. I'll leave you with one thing, be weary of shaitaan and dont leave your salah and prayers, we get success not on our hard work but our hard work that allah accepts, so leaving prayers in present might seem correct choice sometimes but in long run, for which you are leaving your salah will get affected by this act.
    I myself saw this, (story time yyaayee XD) so i was a dropper and in my gap year for prep, for nation wide uni entrance for engineering (namely JEE) in which about ~1M+ students appear 💀so yeah the competition is always high. long story short, i got in one of the best uni of india and delhi, alhamdulilah. So, hard work is always necessary but praying and asking allah for success is as necessary. so dont forget, shaitaan got many was'wasaa in his arsenal and he knows you more than yourself. so be weary and ask allah for help, indeed hes closer to you than our jugular vain. (read again)
    btw so that was unexpected for me as yourself too, hahaha see, we dont know what life will throw at us in next second. if my advise helps you and your prayers increases by just even 1% (already prays too and rabbul izzah loves you, maybe thats why he's using me to send you words we dont know, but pray for me and obv palestine too), anyways, if thats the case, id consider my writing success. Last but not the least, my sister, take care of yourself and your imaan, we have nothing but this imaan, if it gets losts we get lost in this fitnah of dunya. may Allah make us do more than we speak and preach and forgive our sins, indeed we all are sinners and allah is most merciful, most forgiving.

    • @habibaLotfy
      @habibaLotfy  Před 6 měsíci +3

      Thank you for your amazing advice brother, everything you said about strengthening your imaan and avoid fitnah is very real and important and I hope you continue spreading this message around like you did here to your fellow muslims.
      You won't face any real or true success in life without Allah and gaining his pleasure 👏
      I applaud you for getting into a great university after facing such challenges and being able to face all odds. Pray for me to get into a good uni next year too 🙏
      Thanks for the support even tho you don't really need this video like you said
