- Hey guys I’m most likely gonna make this a series
And if you have any suggestions/questions feel free to drop them in the description box
Please read this before asking anything:
Please bare in mind that I don’t want this to get incredibly personal and any questions about financing/loans I will not answer as I do not feel comfortable giving any fatwas or anything of the sort and I think it’s better to do your own research and ask someone more educated on that topic :)
Thank you for understanding 💕

@@nada_omar ok sister i also want to take admission in Oxford university
Keep it up, sister. May Allah grant you ease in all affairs. 🇳🇬
Hello, I liked your videos, but please add Persian subtitles, we are following you from Iran. Good luck❤
Nada, I’m not Muslim but I love learning about different cultures. So good to hear your thoughts.
Thank you that’s rlly appreciated 💕
Aw
Cultures and religion ***
I'm a 34 year old Hijabi studying Stem Cell Biology in Germany and wallahi, little sister, you're a blazing INSPIRATION to me!!! May Allah ta'ala make you successful in this life and hereafter. Ameen. Much love and more power to you ❤️❤️❤️
Salam thank you so much 💕🥺
Hii, im a high schooler and im currently doing survey about studying in other countrt as a muslim. May i ask a few question if you don't mind. Is it easy to find halal food there? If not then what would you usually eat? I'd love know your meals for the week. How about the prayer room? Is it really accessible everywhere? Does the negetive sentiment still exist? Thank you for spending your time
Deutschland yeahh hahah
@@waffleisniceI am also in same situation as you🥺can we talk about these?where are you from?
I am not a Muslim but I have grown to love the culture. I have concerns about the drinking in uni and making the right friends and this video really helped me a lot. I'm so happy that you have the opportunity to study at oxford and I wish you all the best.
Aww of course I’m glad this video relieved any anxiety x 💕
may god guide you to the truth 🥰
@@faroukzanat2778 Thank you
It is not a culture, but a religion (:
I go Cambridge and tabarakallah this video is very well on point. Luckily we have the central mosque which is a very good place to meet good friends who keep you in check with deen. May Allah SWT continue to bless you
JazakAllah brother :)
I never really comment but I love how you talk about balancing deen and work and it’s made me realise I need to do that a lot more often I feel like I’m drifting away so thank youu 💕😩
Aww of course no one is perfect but I always believe a reminder is important 💕💕
I am also muslim and north african and I'm a girl. It would be really great if you could do a video about your accommodation at oxford and how to manage in halls as a Muslim. Also how you spoke to your parents about moving out. This topic tends to be the barrier between many arab/muslim girls and going to a good university. Thanks :)
I made a tiktok about moving out and parents approving x
I’ll try post it here
And yes I’ll definitely discuss accommodation in another video
I can’t believe ur Libyan and studying at Oxford amazing 💕💕
I am Libyan too , ur just awesome ❤
Tysm 💕💕
Love this series, tysm for uploading - love the Oxford content 🎉
💕💕💕
ive been searching for a video like this for a while, the other videos really don't go into much detail so i love the fact that you've made an indepth video on this topic..
Glad you liked it I wish I had a video like this tbh when I applied so I thought Mandy others would too x
i’m so proud of you Nada allahumma barik 💕 may Allah bless you and protect you!
Thank for this info, may Allah keep u safe on ur deen
Thank you Nada for always being an inspiration to all of us. Inshallah your journey throughout uni goes smoothly! ☺️❤️
🤗
Love this sis, Allahumma barik❤️Jazakallahu khairan for the advice🫶🏻
I’m so happy to see youtubers like you! Allah huma barik. I wish I had access to content creators such as yourself, when I was at uni! You’re such an engaging talker. All the best with everything x
Thank you I felt the same way making this I wish I had videos like this when I was applying
Im also north african and im going abroad to the UK to study. This video made me feel more comfortable as a Muslim going abroad. Its quite a tough challenge but inshAllah it will be eased.Thank you lots
Your welcome:)
Mashallah we are all very proud of you and may allah make ur muslim life easy at uni
Thank you
Honestly missed your presence! Love to see you embracing the deen as well, so good to see. I am so proud of you, how hard your working in both deen and dunya. Go GIRL!!
Thank you 🥺🥺
Mashaallah

Thank you so much this is rlly appreciated 💕🥺
I’m sikh still watching because of the motivation you give you people.
Thank you 🥺💕
Really enjoy your vlogs and chatty videos! always so relaxing to watch
Glad you like them!💕
Always wanted to listen from u about Deen's guidance and here it is, in quite a detail MaShaAllah Taqabbalallah
Thank you and glad you liked it :)
I'd recommend Nouman Ali khan's lecture series on the tafseer of the last 30 parts (Just Amma). Its definitely important to understand what is being recited.
Thank you that’s very appreciated:)
Great video😊. Gratifications for your stupendous suggestions on Education, life and religion. You are a strong adherent for advocating young people including myself to know what’s right and wrong. I wish you the absolute best for your undergraduate degree, and hopefully you strive and achieve a first at the end of your tenure/course.
Mashallah 😊😊😊
JazakAllah 🥺
I love how u reply everyone🥺♥️
Love the video. Keep making great content iA❤

This was genuinely insightful, it was one of my concerns for starting uni next year. Thank you for making this video 🤍🤍
💕💕
I’m currently watching your CZcams shorts with my nieces and they love it 😅
Aww thank you I’m glad they do :)
@@nada_omar what do you think of my hometown btw? 😂 Hope you’ve found all the delicious spots 😆
Mashaallah good advice ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man'shaAlllah. You're one in a million. I am at Edinburgh Uni and we do not have these kind of programs at IsoC. May Allah protect you, and most importantly may Allah reward your parents who raised this unapologetic, wonderful Muslimah.
so proud of you
💫💕
This is the best English (told in english language) advice I have ever heard in my life.
REALLY GENUINELY MASHA'ALLAH
may allah fix you on the right path, I have lately experienced problems with my 'ibadah and deen in general pleeease everyone pray and make dua for me 😭
Thank you so much this is so kind and may Allah guide you too and I hope things will get better💕
Ameen
As a chemistry major senior student, I can relate to you very much! Both on spiritual and study levels, I've been thinking a lot about post-graduate studies abroad and I've been so anxious, like how people would react to me as a Muslim girl? Would I face any racism? Would I face mean people who'd think of me wrongly because of the islamophobia and the mistaken stereotypes? It's a lot to think about and it's so overwhelming, I don't want to give up I want to complete in the academic field insha'Allah but the whole circumstance and possible events scare me af, idk what to do, I'm currently having my final exams of the first term and I should sign up for some scholarships starting from now but I'm so anxious and time is passing .. I hope Allah will me make go through all this overthinking peacefully
Greetings from Egypt!
Thank you for sharing that InshaAllah it will be perfect x

@@nada_omar Ahahahee🤦♀🤣
Hi Nada! Thank you so much for sharing your experience as a muslim in Oxford. I'll be doing my Master's at Oxford in October 2024 and I'm quite nervous but I got really excited when you said that there are mosques in Oxford. Hoping I get to fit in and make friends during my time at Oxford :)

@@user-hk9kn7tm4p yes Insha Allah that was my mistake🤍 thank you for correcting me
Top class advice
MashaAllah such good content.. I was looking forward to this video.
Thank u 💕
What do you intend to become by studying chemistry ?
I was going to study chemistry but I keep hearing there are no lot of job opportunities
The Student Room is the best form of comedy ever.
Positive mindset is very thing.
🥺
Hi, i’m a gcse student about to go into sixth form and I was wondering if it mattered which sixth form you go to if you want to go to a good uni/ russel group.
Thank you! Mashallah and Allahumabarik on your acceptance into Oxford !!
Salam hope you’re doing well x
tbh I’m not sure if unis care but I’d recommend you get good gcse grades to get into a good sixth form bc there will be lots of support and opportunities for things you can take part in and you want to be in an environment where academic excellence is there
Hope that helps x
Feel privileged that I put my maths work down to watch thiss - missed ur content 🥰🥰
Tysm 🥺🥺
Masha'Allah
My name is nada too and I’m a Muslim as well. I’m also from Algeria but I ALSO live in London lol. Random thing but when I was younger, my “friends” used to make fun of my name saying it meant ‘nothing’ in Spanish but now that I know that there are so many amazing people called nada I’m proud of my name now ❤
Aww I’m sorry if it makes u feel better I got called those same names as a kid too 🥺 MashaAllah I’m really proud and happy your proud of your name x
I don’t live in london tho I’m from up north
@@nada_omar if someone makes fun of my name nowadays, I’ll just tell them, in Arabic it actually means hope. To all the people who made fun of u, I hope that inshallah, they’ll realise that what they’ve done is wrong
@@nada_omar oops sorry but u do not want to live where I live because yk how strep A is spreading a lot? There were 2 ppl killed because of it in my borough so wish me luck 😭
What is your method to study all sorts of subjects at one go, if not then how do you ravel yourself and then prepare for next session? Thanks Nada Omar!
I’m really excited to do sports In uni- I’m interested in combat sports and go karting
libyan jew here watching with lots of love and admiration! keep doing amazing things!
Thank you 💕🥺
Great 👍
Dear Nada,
Is it possible to add subtitles of your talk in the video.. I can’t catch up all what you saying.. thank you and Good Luck 🌺
I'm libyan too i'm really proud of u 💜💜💜
Aww tysm x
Hey, great video nada
May I ask, is the accommodation for first year free or you have to pay?
No you have to pay !
Greetings from libya🫶🏻
Good luck with ur study 🫶🏻
Hi
Weird question but do you use safety pins to hold your headscarf, because I have ruined my headscarfs with safety pins 😅
Love your videos . YOUR AMAZING
Yh with jersey hijabs I do but chiffon I’d recommend u get magnets I don’t rlly wear chiffon much tho
Mashaallah ❤❤
How helpful and convenient is using an iPad for studies and making digital notes as opposed to hand written notes?
I don’t make notes that much but it’s definitely better than carrying lots of books and everything is on the device
I just watch your video in background and it makes me feel productive for some reason 😹
Your sarcasms too funny 😹
Can you talk about how you balance your deen and uni studies if u can :D
That was the first part of the video ?
Hey Nada Assalamu alaikum, I hope you aren’t too stressed and that things are going well for you, deen and dunya :) I just wanted to ask, what is normal for you to wear to labs as a chemistry student? I really love my abayas and I need to find something to wear that is practical but doesn’t compromise my values. May Allah bless you
Jazakillah ❤️
Usually wide fit trousers or a plain abaya ( not my fancy ones 😭)
@@nada_omar thank you so much
اللهم صل وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه اجمعين
Can I wear niqab in the classroom in USA?
luv yr vids
did you ever go to eden girls?
Nope
Are you Afghanistan? How do you fit in at Oxford?
Such a bright personality sissy
Tysm 💕🥺
@@nada_omar can you make a video on making friends in uni 💚💚
Aren’t the classes mixed?
Omdsss your bedroom background is backkkk
I missed it too 🥲
Hello, I liked your videos, but please add Persian subtitles, we are following you from Iran. Good luck❤
Donn't say i'm not perfect ur super perfect comparing to ur ages.
With the Ayah Quran app, there's some mistakes with some of the words, so its better not to read from it. I found out recently too myself
Salam What evidence do u have of this because it seems pretty accurate to me
A lot of my family use it and have not said anything and I’ve read the reviews no one has pointed it out
Thank you xx
@@nada_omar yeah sorry, I didn't explain basically for example if you look through ayah no 5 in Surah Al Kahf, there's a slight error there in as well, you can compare it to a written book Quran as well. There's another I found at Ayah no 10. They aren't huge differences but there's slight issues with the way its written which doesn't produce the accurate pronunciation of how those words should be pronounced. I've also asked other people whom I know read the Quran daily and there are some they're found as well. Notably some small writing errors that I also found in Surah Al Mulk which completely change the what is the correct pronunciation of the words. I've checked with mutiple different different Qurans and there are mistakes in that one. So I tried to find my own way to make an online Quran app as I'm a coder. But the issue isn't the app but the online Quran website the verses were taken from. The website is quran.com and that's where the Quran verses are from, and those verses aren't correct. But if you look online for a pdf version of the Quran by alislam.org that one is correct since its a scanned version of a hard copy Quran I own. I found out the app through your instagram story and was really happy since I was trying to find the Quran app to read from but sadly there are issues. Though I'd also like to note the audio in the Ayah app is correct, and if you play in those certain ayahs I told you, you'll be able to see the mistakes. Thank you hearing out my comment though and your video was amazing ❤❤
Thank you so much rlly appreciate that may Allah reward you 💕🥺
Allah bless you
how did you convinced them to give a small fridge, or what did you do
Stated my reasons that I eat halal and don’t want cross contamination and just asked there wasn’t rlly much to it
Mashallah
just seen you on the Shaykh Omar Suleiman Q&A vid lol
I just saw it now lol 😭😭
stating nothing but facts 💯

I am a muslim and I go to sixthform (its my first year) and there are a lot of people who pray during lunch but for some reason I wait until I get home and catch up on my prayers. And I dont know if I should be guilty or not. I guess its because none of my friends pray at school and Im too shy to ask or go with other girls who I barery have talked to and pray with them. What do you think?
Salam sister please don’t feel shame no one is perfect but I’ve personally never agreed with that ‘catching up prayers after school’ especially if u have the time to pray at lunch or ask a teacher in advance if it clashes with lesson time you should and you shouldn’t need other ppl to do it you can go alone x
hope that’s helpful
@@nada_omar yeah I agree, Im going to start praying at school from now on. I was thinking the same thing! Love your vid btw and I really want to achieve what you achived in my a levels, I really look up to you. Good luck in everything you do❤️
Thank you and you will InshaAllah 💕🥺
Omg finally a libyan sister lmao i am libyan and study chemical biology but its mostly chemistry rn
I’m not Muslim but i got a place in Oxford and I’ve deferred my placement for 2023 so I can save cause London living isn’t cheap 😅 And your videos are preparing me for what’s to come :)
Congratulations but if your an Oxford student you’re going to live in Oxford city not london?
@@nada_omar I’ll be commuting because I’ll have to take my dog 😩 so I’ll be staying with friends (still paying rent) but won’t be alone :)
What does everyone study and at what university:)
Only in year 8 but trying to get my head down now inshallah ❤️
Hey! I am in year 11. Just 1.5 year to go for uni :" )
@@potatomammal3773 same here :))
@@nabilaaaaaaank9262 Keep fighting!! we got thiss. Alevels is hard
I m not in uni but I wanna study biomedical engineering at Oxford insallah it will be if I study hard god willing it will be
The problem is that I don't have close friends because I don't know any Muslims that I can be close to. You are lucky that you are in a place with a lot o Muslims.
😊😊
ماشاء الله وفقك الله
Just out of interest are you living in a student hall and if so, does oxford do all female? :)
Oxford has colleges and each student is a part of an Oxford college I live in my Oxford college accommodation which you can call halls I guess
Some of my friends do live in all girls staircases you can request it and some colleges may accommodate for that but living in halls is not rlly like living in a house tbh I don’t rlly see the ppl that live on my staircase much
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً
Transliteration: Allahumma inni as’aluka ‘ilman nafi’an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa ‘amalan mutaqabbalan
“O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, goodly provision and acceptable deeds”🤲☝️
Ayyeee I got a question tho
Ive always been wanting to go when I finish high school but like I'm a bit anxious and I'm overthinking "islamophobia" so uh
what do u think
The Muslim community here is really big and so supportive islamaphobia is sadly everywhere but it’s genuinely not an issue you need to worry about coming to Oxford it’s not a perfect place but ppl here are lovely
@@nada_omar omg tysm I really needed to hear that
Assalamualaikum sis am indian now I am 18 how can I visit Canada with mba university ..? Reply me...!
I’m not Canadian so I don’t know
Love from kashmir for you sistar
Guys we should have a strong intention to be doing everything for Allah SWT. We’ll get soo much reward for our studies as we’re doing it for Allah eg u’ll be charitable/ u’ll make your parents proud which will make Allah proud/ you’ll spend on family/earn for umrah etc etc. Pray Bismillah before all that you do - Allah created us to worship him so doing everything for the sake of Allah is certainly an act of worship.
- Furthermore, Allah doesn’t need our prayers- we need Allah we’re the ones that benefit from it- receiving Allah’s blessings: “Exalt your Lord so I may complete my blessings on you” We pray to seek Allah’s pleasure and obey and serve our Lord. May Allah keep us all firm on our deen, and help us to strive hard in the way of Allah (JIHAAD)Ameen, Allah Humma Ameen!
Note: Our Prophet SAW said that a way in which our ranks /position in Jannah gets elevated is by striving in the way of Allah SWT and one rank is the distance between the earth and the sky SubhanAllah.
I’m done 🤌🤍
Love this thank you 🥺💕
@@nada_omar love u for the sake of Allah🫶
Salam sister, where do you buy this hijab from? :3 Also I wish you were my chem teacher for my CAIE's :P
