I'm a Christian, but I would wear the headscarf, hijab,and loose clothes just to stand united with my Muslim sisters. We need to protect our rights and especially our relationships with God. Amen
That's so beautiful, Raquel. & We do ❤️ dearest sister. Xx
And may Almighty Allah bless you abundantly amen
Well said
This is the spirit and unity we need. God bless your heart ♥️
@@mariammwanasitiali Amen❤😊
I am not Muslim, but the thought of someone ripping off someone's head scarf is akin to assault. It is a violation of your privacy. I would be livid if I saw someone do that, and would rush to cover the woman's hair. That is so upsetting.
It IS assault
For a muslim woman, the feeling of having her headscarf ripped of is like having your shirt torn off. It is assault! Just like there are women in the world that being completelly topless is normal, but it is not theirs to say that women that wears a top should be naked as well. It is a basic human right to choose how much one covers themselfs.
Putting your hands on someone like that is assault and potentially battery, regardless of what they’re wearing or not wearing
Absolutely is assault, used to happen to black girls us all the time, being that many black women wrap their hairs just because of cultural styles and that boundary is not always respected.
Ooh I don’t know that person will feel so unlucky if they did that while I was present.Am Moslem,I cover my hair but I wear the hijab sometimes,the strangest thing is the way people stare am in I kind of forgot that I was wearing it by the way I wear the long one with the hand sleeves.Am very calm,kind and compassionate but there are some things that just makes me so angry and this is one of those cases.I hope that did not happen to youSuhbhanallah.
I'm a Christian woman who most recently started feeling the same way! My version of feminity changes as I grow and right now I'm feeling modesty a little more than before and even though its strange (change always is) it makes me happy.
Your story is wonderful and inspiring and I just love your videos!!
I hope God can open the eyes of those trying to oppress Muslims around the world!
Love from Uganda❤
💖💖💖🙏
I thought that this was awesome..
Why should a ugandan wear a hijab/ curtain when we have our Gomesi and manyother tradition wear???
@@aidaht7819 I think you missed the point of the video... its not about nationality or cultural clothing just that it should not be frowned up if a woman chooses to be or dress more modestly from the current fashion norms. Wether that is with wearing a hijab as a Muslim or whatever you deem fit.
@@cindybusingye6455 in Iran women are imprisoned for not wearing it ! Is that not oppression and force!! Which god will force you! Afghanistan saudi etc ! Iits not about culture ok but why would other culture have to wear same!?
Hello, from Puerto Rico. As a young couple you are a great model to a non-Muslim, much much older, couple like us. May Allah bless and keep you safe, every hour, every day!
Ameen. This is so uplifting and encouraging to hear. Thank you for lovely words and may Allah return the blessings to you tenfold ☺️💜
As a Christian woman I think many religous women have that internal struggle of wanting the attention from men and wanting to do whatever we want and not realizing we're losing ourselves in a lie that the world has been teaching girls and women forever. We're more than our bodies and more than what others think about us. I loved your story!
So true 💜 beautifully put. Xx
Yesss
So refreshing to hear such a raw and honest hijab journey 🥺 loved this ❤
❤️💖🤍
I'm a Christian raised in an apostolic church, and we also cover our heads in church. We cover knees, elbows, and makeup isn't allowed. It was a very strict upbringing, but I believe it was all for good. I'm always asked why I cover my head in the sanctuary. I show honor and reverence to God especially in prayer. I'm glad my mother and our Pastor were great influences on decency and how to behave as a woman of God. Amen 🙏❤😊
This is really inspiring to read. We also cover our head in front of God for humility. We all share similar values across our religions it seems. Very interesting how our practices both align. Thanks for sharing your comment. 💖
The education I got from this video is what I needed ❤️ i am Christian and I wear headscarf. And sometimes I tie it like a hijab...and no one has an option about it.. I love you guy💯❤️
'...and no one has an option about it' LOVE IT 😂💖💖💖
@@shaziachaudhry8465 I don't think you should feel ashamed of yourself. You do you.
I'm African but I get ugly looks in Europe for wrapping my head, we wrap our heads in Africa for many reasons, Muslim or not. I've never seen a Muslim man wearing their Muslim attire in Germany or Switzerland. They claim that if you in their country you must be modern like them. So glad I'm from South Africa where people are free to be whatever they want to be
Yes, it's a really narrow-minded way to be...wanting everyone to look the same and not encouraging freedom of cultural or religious expression. I'm sorry you get ugly looks from people. 💔 I hope you never let that stop you from dressing how you like 💖✨
Try being free to wear revealing clothes in Saudi Arabia or Iran and feel the tolerance of Islam then. They're no different.
I am from Leaotho
And I never got any hate for wearing hijab!❤️These stories shock me and I juat pray for unity between all💙
Africans are truly peace lovers✌️and I am actually from Bangladesh
I don’t belong to any religion but have felt this for as long as i can remember. Thank you for this video because it puts words to what I’ve felt
🥺❤️ I feel very honoured to receive this, my sister. 💖 Lots of love to you x
I really appreciate the relationship you have with your mom. You and hubby are really cute and real.
She's my best friend. 🤗❤️ & Thank you so much. So lovely of you to say. Xx
Wow you guys really opened my eyes about the Hijab ,I never really understood it at all and now I understand it and appreciate what I've learnt about it from you guys ...Beautiful
That's so beautiful to hear 🥰 thank you x
Alhamduliallah
I'm so glad somebody has spoke about struggles with Hijab, we see people removing scalfs all the time and me myself have a huge battle with it n it does come from a feeling inside mentally.
❤️❤️❤️
A moral compass is a good thing to have no matter what you believe in … love you guys … keep up the great content .. 🏴🇯🇲
This! 🙌 Thank you so much
I think the hijab looks beautiful on Amara it really suits her 😎
That’s so sweet of you to say! Thank you so much 🥰☺️💜
You are so beautiful even covered.
You should be proud of your conviction and it is your right to dress how you choose
❤️❤️ Thank you, Joanna.
You made me cry, I love your story😭
💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing your experience and reasoning. As someone who is not religious in the slightest, I now have a deeper understanding of the Hijab and why some choose to ware it. Keep up the great work!
That makes me really happy to hear 🥰 thank you so much for watching and commenting. 🙏
This honestly helped me I have really been contemplating putting the hijab on I’ve been waiting for the feeling the magic feeling but I guess you’re right this doesn’t ever come I need to put the hijab on and not let my vanity get the best of me lots of love ❤️xx
May Allah SWT make it easy for you 💖🤗 I'm glad the video helped you a little, in shaa Allah xxx
I have been thinking about it also. I’m worried about how I will be received as a Black American Muslim.
Alhamdulillah for Allah bringing you back to the straight path 💜 it's not always easy being a Muslimah. It's been almost 2 years for me and I was a "part- time" hijabi for a good portion of that, which made wearing hijab feel like a struggle bc I was uncovered daily like at work then I'd cover to go out elsewhere. Then this past Ramadan I made the choice to wear hijab at work so that made me "full-time" and I'm so glad Allah made me firm upon that so now I don't even think about going out uncovered. And more than my hair, my body. I value my beauty much more now than I did before as a sexual object 😩 insha Allah I never feel the need or desire to go back to that.
This is such a sweet story, sister. 💖 I'm so happy for you, alhamdulilah ❤️❤️❤️ it can be such a hard journey but when it gets to the point where you feel so empowered by it, it becomes so valuable and important to you. May Allah swt make it easy for us all 💖
@@TheXs.Official Ameen, Ameen, Ameen! I was just telling my husband yesterday how being out in a jilbab makes me feel like a queen 💜 easy, breezy, beautiful covered girls 🤗
Just found the most honest and down to earth Muslim couple on CZcams, thank you for addressing the issue with headscarf in the West. May Allah guide us all
🥺❤️❤️❤️
Ppl are afaird of what they don't understand or don't want to understand. Hence having a problem with different religion practice.
Facts!!
Hey...."do you" is what I say to everyone....glad you guys took time out to explain to others because you didn't have to....🤗
Thanks, Yanka ☺️💜
Scottish hijabi😍😍mashallah. First I've ever seen, I'm really proud of you👍👍.
Keep being great and doing great 👍👏👌
Wooooo! I'm honoured to be the first Scottish hijabi you've come across! 🙈🥰 Thank you so much for the love and support.
Thankyou for being so honest in your hijab story, I love how you don't show everything is airy fairy and easy on camera. Talking about the struggle and emotions you went through is a real eye opener.
Another great video, love watching yous both. ❤
Thanks so much for always supporting and sending so much love, Foz. 💖 You know I'm not good at speaking without getting real 🤣❤️ glad you enjoyed the video xxxxx
Thank u for sharing you’re hijabi story. Its so refreshing to hear about you’re hijabi journey. May Allah swt make hijab easier for all of us muslim girls, allahuma Ameen❤️.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it ❤️ ameeeeen! 🤲
MashaAllah. I'm so happy CZcams recommended me this channel. I've never commented before, but I would like to thank you for sharing your story. I'm currently going through a similar thing in college at the moment, and what you said about your clothes getting tight, neckline getting lower, and (in my case) hijab turning into a turban really resonated with me. Especially as someone who just hit my 20s and thinking about my future and marriage, it's this fear that I'm missing out or less attractive when surrounded by women who are not dressed the same way as me. I'm going to save this video as a continual reminder. Thank you so much!
Awww my sweet sister 💖 so much love for you. 🥺❤️ I wish I could give you a squeezy cuddle for I felt this so deeply in college too. It's really brave and honest of you to recognise those things within yourself and share them back with me. I hear you and I feel you. It's the trick of the devil when we slowly change things in ourselves that don't make us feel closer to Allah SWT for something that doesn't feel wrong at the time. It feels innocent, like simply wanting to feel more beautiful as a woman. Then we look back and don't understand what we compromised it for. What's the trade? Nothing feels worth it, especially when we realise that we never needed to trade those things to begin with. Those surroundings and the whispers of Shaytaan can mess with our heads a bit and make us think we're not desirable without compromising what we feel our hijab is, but it's not true sis! 💖 In college, most guys aren't ready for or looking for marriage. They're (mostly) looking to objectify and explore sexualising the opposite gender and that's why sometimes hijab isn't the guy-magnet, NOT because you're not beautiful in your hijab, but because you are covered and off limits for empty objectification and vapid sexualisation. I didn't appreciate the protection and empowerment of that at the time. In the next few years I promise you'll see how it flips 180° though. You'll see how your covered beauty and hijab is admired and desired by the men you meet. Above all that, you'll feel so proud of yourself for seeking the pleasure of The Creator over the pleasure of the creation. May Allah SWT make it easy for you and grant you the best, sweetest and hottest of spouses who treats you like the queen you are. 😂🥰🤲❤️ Here for you and with you always. X
wallahi wish i could like this video multiple times. Very pleasingly formulated, with reasonable justification (don't usually comment on vids but really had to on this one). May Allah bless y'all
Thanks so much, Ekram. Very kind of you to comment as you don't usually! We're honoured ☺️. May Allah SWT bless you too!
Thank you for being so open and honest. You guys are truly my favorite couple on CZcams. God Bless you guys and your marriage.
That's so sweet. Thank you so much 🤗❤️
Some gems you’ve dropped in here Amaarah,why did I wait this long to watch this video 🤦🏾♀️
Thank you sis ❤️🥰
Yassss! Just on time! 👌🏾❤️
☺️🎉
Hey Amara + Sufyan!
I am a Christian & I stand with you guys against this issue. In Christianity, it's much of the same way. We are called by God to be modest and not to reveal ourselves and bodies to just anyone. And although not all Christians practice it anymore, it's still something that we are supposed to do! If someone was to violate my liberty to do that I would be hurt and feel violated too. I don't want anyone to have their God-given free will prohibited! I hope that things get better and that this rule/law will change smh.. because it's really unfair. I love you guys and encourage you all to keep making this wholesome content
Thank you for sharing! I'm a Christian & I love ❤ you both.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bless you guys for talking about this, and bless your good spirit, I've never witnessed a couple of people with such refreshing demeanor mashaAllah.
The issue of Hijab ban that you is making me wanna sue the world when i think about it because it's frank, blunt, outloud discrimination.
It's a breach of personal freedom, and it's done particularly to musilms, and I can't believe that a community that describe itself as civil will let it happen just like this!
It's crazy
Thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoy the videos! ☺️ I feel the same way. It's outrageous and feels unbelievable. May Allah SWT give ease to those suffering most from the oppression. 🤲
I actually support hijab ban. Id enough and sick dealing with my stress and depression like everyday. Like im not a Muslim because i dont wear hijab? Or my imaan so low that make me to go out without my hijab. Wear shorts and hoodie. Sometimes, hijab with baju kurung. And baju kurung look thight little bit and this really make my own community turn to a psychopath. They just dont like it. Even got bash when a woman share a picture about makeup on FB. And i saw a comment where a niqabi got instult by a man.
"The purpose of niqab is to not show yourslef to others. If you upload a video of yourself on YT, then whats the point of wearing niqab, you idiot?"
And its stupid when some idiot on social media said "Ma Sha Allah, she wear hijab for Allah, but when wear shorts, Astagfirullah, she wear it for men or to atrracts some men"
And this really make me want to support hijab ban in non muslim country. When India make some law about hijab, i can see Muslim in my country fel so mad, and it still dnt make me fel satisfi. I need more than that.
I mean, we in our own community ha our own "beauty standard" which we need to "limit" our beauty for others.
@@iamhijabsterz9556 I’m sorry for what you’re feeling and I see a glimpse pf where your frustration about Hijab is coming from, and I think rigid muslim community is playing more into your suffering than state laws. find what suits you, ask Allah for strength and guidance to find your health and your peace. Hijab is innocent in all of this, it’s just a way of dressing and representation of modesty, it cause no problems on its own, the issues are societal and personal.
Wow we relate so much,thank you for this Amaarah,sharing your story so truly and openly without any filters,all the feelings you explained,so relatable,happens to us a lot as muslims,I needed this,thank you
Alhamdulilah 💖 I'm glad you liked the video. Thank YOU x
You guys are just so good looking. We are definitely different cultures as long as we respect each other.
😂😂 That's so kind! Thank you. 🙈
The way he looks at his wife is EVERYTHING! I would love for a man to look at me and love me that way.
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
@john zeb are you muslim?
Another inspiring video, may your words reach the powers that be and INSHA'ALLAH help to take away the burden put on our Muslim woman.
Ameen 🤲✨
Subhan-Allah
Allah Bless with lots of Dua's
I am an Orthodox woman from Serbia. But I support all people of the Muslim religion who live outside Muslim countries to be who they are. I love diversity, Black and white... good people... I love the whole world.
Keep teaching us
This is an online class

Thank you for sharing! Beautifully stated ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ☺️
So glad I discovered your channel, I always end up skipping long videos but when it comes to ur videos I just watch all of it! Every bit is amazing, the love between u2, the passion, the humour it's all perfect MashAllah, InshAllah u2 live happily together in this world and the next♥️
Your words are so sweet, ma shaa Allah. 🙈❤️ YAY that you watch through! :') I'm so happy you enjoy them. May Allah SWT protect you & give you good in this life and the next 💖
I love Amara's style
Aw thank you Christiane 🙈❤️ so happy you enjoyed it. Xx
Aww you two make such a beautiful couple mashAllah! This is the first video of yours I have watched! Love it so real and raw! I started wearing my scarf at the age of 9 and I am 33 now and honest to God I didn't feel comfortable and love it till about 7 years ago...it takes time. It's not easy being a muslim in the world today and just being modest in general subhanAllah. Alhamdillah for our Deen.
God bless
I appreciate your honesty, Amara!
Thank you, Rita. 💖
Love this! May Allah bless the both of you with the best of this duniya and the aakhira.
Ameen, and for you too! 🤲❤️
Thanks for sharing your hijab journey. Very interesting. I’ve always enjoyed modest clothing, but even more so once I became a Christian. I did t want to be a reason for someone to stumble. Yes. You should not want other guys seeing your body the way your husband sees it. “Value your beauty by preserving your beauty.”
I love that aspect of modesty too. Saving my most beautiful areas for only my husband/ family etc to see and have access to. I really believe not everyone deserves to see all of you. We are too precious. 💖
Thank you for explaining these things so well! God bless you both!
Awww, thank you for watching! May God bless you too!! X
Your new video couldn't have come at a better time for me!
Plus,i like this video
We both pray you’re well and are so happy you liked the video!
Thank you so much thus really helped me. I needed this so much💖💖
Awwwwww ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so happy
It is a concept of pleasing a higher power. If you think it is just pieces of clothing then there is so much morr you need to know. So well delivered Tabarakallah. Also, Sis I'm so glad you've spoken about your experience Inshallah it can help a lot of sisters out there who are struggling due to societal pressures.
One beautiful thing that struck out to me about your union is that the fact that in the how we met video Sufyan Akhi found you to be the most beautiful girl he has ever seen without the need to see your hair and an exposure of beauty. Allah grants us what is good for us and that point just stuck out at me. Allahumma barik. So glad Allah put you both in my path ❤
Thank you so much, sis 💖 we appreciate your support and love. I rely hope it does help anyone struggling iA 🤲 & Sufyan is such a beautiful soul mA. ❤️ Very grateful to Allah SWT for him. ☺️ Xx
This is actually lovely to watch
❤️
amazing video, I couldn't agree more with everything you said❤
☺️🤍
Im new to learning about Allah and Islam so im pretty fresh! I have always felt the Hijab is so very beautiful in its modesty and i feel i should embrace it as my relationship with Allah and myself grows 100% People in this sexcioety are so closed minded about covering up its sad tbh! Thanks for sharing your story so lovely🌹
Thank you for watching ❤️❤️❤️ let us know if we can ever help with any questions. ☺️ xx
Wow That's So awesome ❤️🥰 so many people in the comment section are in to it ❤️🥰👏🙌
Great video, thank you for sharing xx
Thanks Jessica! 💖
Wow this is so beautiful i love these types of stories about hijabs i am going to church at the moment and i guess i refer myself as a christian been going church for two years and i just feel like it’s not right i love the Islam religion it’s beautiful i am trying my best to do the right thing, your so inspiring girllll 😍🥰😊❤️
Thanks so much, Ellie 💖 glad you enjoyed the video 🥰 I'd say keep searching for answers to questions you have or things you don't understand until your heart feels content and assured. I love Islam because it makes sense to me and answers my questions well. Let me know if there's ever anything I can help you with (insta: @amaratheninja, email: sufyanxamara@gmail.com) ☺️ xxx
Alhamdulillah ♥️ thank you for saying it. I just found your channel and super happy I did. What a beautiful Muslim couple 🥰
🙈❤️❤️
Thx for a fantastic video I love the bond you to have mashallah and i totally resonate with everything you both said. May Allah bless you both health and happiness xx
Ameen wa iyyaki 💖 glad I'm not alone! Xxx
The problem is ,they want to look at the women's adornments. I appreciate the women of Islam who wants to wear the hijab. I respect your religion. I learned a lot about the hijab from you both. Thank you for sharing. The Western World have been revealing to much. I work with women who wear the Hijab. I think its awesome.
☺️❤️🙌
I love the Hijab message, thank you.
Love your show thanks for sharing this. I am so happy you did
Thank you so much! 🤗❤️
Amaarah you look beautiful with your Hijab Mashaa Allah.
True beauty shows when covered because our personalities and character shines brighter and reflects on who we are as a person.
Thanks Yumnah! 🤗❤️ You look so beautiful with yours too ma shaa Allah. I completely agree about our personality and character shining brighter! I love that about hijab 💖
@@TheXs.Official Thank You for your kind words Amaarah💖
Based on what has been explained about the Hijab not entirely meaning just a head scarf, but more that relates to purposeful living of a modest life in and out (to my best knowledge)
Could it then mean that non-muslims who enjoy living modest lives in, and out could wear it too?
Great question. Although the hijab is not exclusively the headscarf, it must also include the headscarf to fall under the category of hijab. There would be no problem with a non Muslim wearing hijab but “modest” clothes in general would not be defined as hijab without the head scarf etc.
Hope that makes sense ☺️
This might be the best explained video I've ever seen about hijab.
Wow 💖 that is such a kind compliment! So happy you feel that way. So lovely x
MaashAllah well put❤
Salams this come up on my recommended worth a watch keep up the good work
Thank you!
Another beautiful and important video that brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing with us, thank you for your vulnerability. It’s is very true how there is the double standard.. why is it ok for certain women to wear those scarves on their head as a fashion statement or for whatever reason but when a Muslim women wears hijab to protect herself, honor her God, etc, it’s suddenly a bad thing? Why is it wrong to not want to show your body off? This world is crazy.
I have a question: would it be disrespectful for a non-Muslim woman to wear hijab? I ask because for years, I have wanted to cover up more and protect myself this way as well but I am not Muslim. Advice?
Hi 💖 thank you so much for your words. I'm happy the video resonated with you & that you enjoyed it. 🥰 I don't think that's disrespect at all. I think people can wear whatever they want and it's only for themselves to decide. Muslim women tend to love when they see others in hijab! 😂 X
Thanks for sharing your experiences Amara. I luv that exclusivity that is only for your husband and no other guys. It's having control over your self expression and your body and that is a beautiful thing. Stay natural, it's the best.
Ready to get married.
I love that too. 🙈🥰 Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Rick!
5:04 THIS, this is why i'm an apostate. After all those years i understood finally that when i was in a mix culture (that wasn't all the time related to religion or "MY" religion at the time, i was free) and it's where i finally look around me and saw that most religious people do not do it "vertically" ( for a higher "purpose " or their god(s) ) but do it "horizontally" for the people around them, becuse of the look of the familly or friends, the critics etc. Just to avoid it and "be" like everyone else around.
Just my experience obviously but i feel much free now that i stop believing and more focus on myself, the present moment and the "humanity" part of ourselves.
Thanks for sharing your story both of you ^^
I value this conversation guys...
Salaam. Im a 39 y.o with a 4 y.o girl. Alhamdulillah im grateful i found this video. You guys shared experiences and discussed ideas and opinions that are so relevant, and for me this video will be so useful in the future I.A. May Allah bless you guys for your efforts and contributions that benefit all of us Muslims who are trying to follow the straight path.
W/Salaam, brother Asif. May Allah make it easy for you and your children and all of our children. The world is changing and collectively, in shaa Allah, we can continue to hold and reaffirm our values within our children. May Allah make you the best of fathers and your daughter the best of daughters and shower you with continued barakah and happiness. Your comment has touched our hearts. 🤲❤️
I loved all the points you raised …and respect your right to choose.
Modestly is ALWAYS the right way to go….. at least in my book…
Rock on Sister.

I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability in this video. May Allah bless you.

Ameen wa iyyaki! Thank you so much ❤️ I'm really proud of this video so it means a lot to hear such lovely feedback. 🥰
Wow thank you 😊 for this video ... I never understood and wow the feeling I was getting watching this .. thank you
Aww that's so nice to hear that it helped you understand. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. 😊🌸
The bible is the book I was taught to read.
Women Covering the head was normal as you could not go to church or read the bible without having your head covered as stated in the bible.
I no longer identify with any religion, friends tease me and tell say that I am a religious freelance 🙂I take the good from all that is out there.
My God continue to shower you both with his love.
Thank you for your honesty💚
Yes! Head covering has been part of Christianity. May God bless you in abundance ❤️❤️❤️🌸 thanks so much for watching and commenting x
I love the fact you are so open about the hijab, thank you for a new Insight into it.
I had my own view, but you've changed it for the better.
I'm non religious but want to have some insight into all religious aspects.
Stay safe and blessed
Really touching to hear you say that. 🥰 Thank you so much for letting us know that what we said had some effect on you, that means a lot. & I love watching people of different beliefs and backgrounds too! Peace & blessings to you. 🤲✨ (Amara)
@@TheXs.Official you're welcome 😊 and thank you again.
Ps
Whats AMARA mean?
From kenya we wear niqabs hijabs and fredom of being modest Alhamdulillah .....
Alhamdulillah 💜
Assalamu alaykum wrwb I hope u r both well insha'Allah. It's so nice to watch your vlogs subahanallah. Knowing there are people in the world so far from you, that share the same ideologies and who are proud to be Muslim. You are so relatable and I enjoy watching your videos, shukran..
Sending you love and duahs from South Africa
Wa alaikum as salaam, we are we'll alhamdulilah. I hope you are well too. I love that CZcams does that for me too, let's me connect with people like you who share similar views and makes the world feel cosier. You're from South Africa, subhanAllah! So far! ...yet so close 🤗❤️ duas and love for you too from us both.
Yes maybe one day I'll come to the UK with my husband and we can meet up insha'Allah. I think we would be able to chat for hours lol because I am also a teacher, like yourself (Ammaarah) and Sufyaan😄, we could exchange wonderful stories haha! 💖
thanks for this video! As a Canadian Muslimah, I really resonated with a lot of what you said especially the parts about rights being stripped from women to wear hijab/niqab simply because of islamophobia.
Lovely couple 💞 Wishing nothing but the best ♥️♥️
Thank you, Jodie! ☺️💜

I am Christian and I believe this is very good, I would not mind covering my head. I know the Bible says that a woman who prays or reads the Bible should cover her head. I believe in modesty, it is valuable!!!

I’ve started covering as a Christian. You should try it if you feel led 😄😄
I'm a christian and I am totally with you on this Amara, I really think everyone should respect each other and each other's religion , and also not force or bully people into what they can or cannot wear, the thought of someone ripping of someone's hijab, is disgusting I cannot see how someone wearing a hijab affecting anyone, whoever do that is just plain wicked and mean spirited.
We need to respect everyone regardless of their background
Mashallah i enjoyed this video..i wear the hijab and have been for forever but haven't really felt beautiful in it..I'm basically the first generation of Muslims in my family cause my dad's a convert..alhamdullilah..this video helped so much with the idea of feminity in Islam and as a Muslim woman so thank you
Interesting....thank you for sharing.
Thanks Ruth x
The heat part always gets to me cuz after going to Saudi still wondered how they are comfortable being covered so much with the heat.
Though they typically don't go outside in the heat till 4pm + I noticed. To the many cafes.
Thank you. It does give a lot of insight and a bit more understanding of the why, its easy to pass a comment in ignorancea and forget that you're dealing with a person with feelings. We live in a world that embraces women's views, rights and those are things that people died so we can have, so we can have freedom of expression.
I'm really happy the video helped understanding hijab a bit more. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. 🙏

I love and respect your story
Thank you 🙏🌸
All the women from where my family comes from wear a "scarf". It's a choice, and there are very little amount of people who choose not to wear it. Covered head/hair is such a beautiful look. Everytime I put it on I feel so grateful to be me, everything I am.
The sound of your voice, the way you speak, is so pleasing. I could listen to you speak for hours!
I think it's a beautiful look too ❤️ & oh my goodness thank you 🙈💖 we talk a lot so it's nice to hear you like the sound 🤣 xxx
Hijab is a blessing i swear
I completely agree! 💖
This is soo insightful 👌
Thanks so much for watching! 🤗
