I'm a Christian and I have been prejudiced towards people with niqabs before (I haven't actually spoken to anyone with niqab in my life, and they are banned in my country). But you do seem like a very nice person and you really opened my eyes up to the other side of the story. I really appreciate that you are directly addressing the contentions people have with you wearing it in a respectful manner, so hope that helps you get more acceptance. Best of luck! :)
Via Media hello I’m Muslim woman who covers we are human like anyone else everybody has different personalities and characteristic what’s annoying is when people think we less then human or living being. We have families, we eat, pay bills , we are happy at times , sad and we have emotions but sometimes people at like we are not human and they are ignorant asking dumb questions. I hope one day u meet Muslim women and talk to her with niqab on. You we see we are friendly.
I’m a white, British atheist woman and I’m watching this because I have never been educated on anything to do with the Niqab so thank you for making this video! I support you!
Rosa pierce Thank you for your comment! Welcome to my channel. I try to do videos in the future about how and why I started wearing it so maybe you can check them out too :)
Wearing Niqab is to please Allah SWA, not people; what people may feel or think it’s on them that is nothing to do with us.. .. -the same way I don’t feel disrespected by someone semi naked... The same rule applies!! -In my case; I do it for my protection as a Muslim woman.. I feel more comfortable and modest going outside with niqab.. “no one said is easy ... it’s a challenge”.- But, Allah knows our struggles.. .. Alhumdulillah for niqab .!!!
I enjoyed watching your video and I have niqabi friends who told me that they enjoy wearing the niqab and it was their personal choice to wear it. People need to mind their own business of what other people wear and worry about their own lives instead.
I don't feel that it is fair to suggest that all men are trying to 'rob you of your body' Men can be respectful. Men can control their desires. It is not ok or normal to have to hide in case a man rapes you. It is not ok to rape or disrespect people of any gender . where there is mutual respect and trust a woman does not need to cover herself and covering yourself appears to be normalizing men who are disrespectful
katie willow Who said I cover so men could control themselves better? They have responsibility over their actions regardles of what I or anyone else wears. In case you didnt know islam says to men they need to take responsibility over their actions and gazes just like women do. I cover mainly for other reasons and I will post a video about it in the future. So do subscribe so you wont miss it.
Still the coverimg is for god. However their system of education among men sexuality should be reformed to help them to treat women like human. No matter if they have niqab, hijab or none
Death Boi to be modest is for god. To cover to this extent may have been influenced by the taliban and not good people. I appreciate her modesty, but from human to human, it creates a barrier.
Hello Katie. It is a matter of perception and individual choice. Of course I respect your opinion, in fact for the major part of my life I have been of the same opinion. But the more I meditated and tried to understand religion, I finally started to realized the crux of covering up is "humility". Months of pondering made me acknowledge the fact that humility and spirituality go hand and hand and one cannot be arrogant and be close to God at the same time. The more one covers up, the more they feel humbled by their appearance, it's not appealing anymore and it detaches the person from the love of this temporary world. Though live in a "muslim" country, I have seen many many women in seven star places, being condescending towards women who dressed humbly and it always ALWAYS made me wonder "how can you judge someone based on the brands they wear?" and I never liked that biased treatment. Our world has become so material that we aren't stopping to really understand a person before passing comments on them. I've seen women mistake a random humbly dressed woman as a "servant" with the family, and these superficial assumptions really surprise me. Same goes for men they are supposed to dress humbly and NOT stiffen their spines and necks when they walk, and their nose shouldn't be up in the air. Hence it all comes down to preventing arrogance. Women love to look pretty and somewhere in their hearts they do want compliments. And I'm not ashamed to admit these things. And hence the covering up, because God is like we don't NEED validation, the only one whose validation a Muslim seeks is Allah. And hence, covering up is one of the "tests" of this world. To practice that I don't need to wear a certain brand to feel good or confident, I don't NEED anyone to tell me I'm pretty to think so of myself, I don't need a mirror to reassure me of my looks. I don't NEED looks. The material world is exploiting people's mindset and the need to compete with others and looking better than others is becoming such an obsession to the brink of narcissism, and causing "less" fortunate to compare themselves to "more" fortunate, creating a BIG barrier between rich an poor, fat and skinny, advertisers defining beauty, etc. We judge people by their clothes for instance, and THEN decide to talk to them. It's a pathetic system. We NEED major covering up for both men and women. This is why men are encouraged to grow humble-looking beards in Islam, it covers up an attractive face, and to keep their eyes lowered, and to wear a loose dress, and keep their dress a bit over the ankle, like construction workers, because it would remind them that no amount of money in their bank puts them above a laborer. These are the reminders set for us by Allah to always look at and remain humble and practice equality. So we can remember that everyone must be treated equal, so we don't judge by appearances, so no one feels intimidated by anyone else, or feels that a person is hard to approach because of a superficial barrier. A servant should be able to sit beside their master comfortably, and at the same level. In the end, when we die, we will take none of our belongings with us, and they will not matter to us, we will be wearing a white loose shirt, our whole body shall be covered in the most humble way, and our flesh shall be consumed by the earth. Rich and poor alike. Now that these reminders are there, it is up to us to be reminded or to refuse the reminder. Which means not just wearing humility, but practising humility is necessary as well. And Allah has forbidden an arrogant person from entering Paradise. I hope this can give you another perspective. Thank you for putting your thoughts into words, so I could share mine with you. Much love.
it's crazy to me that in the same sentence people will say oh niqab and hijab is oppressive, then try to force you to take it off. is that literally not oppression? trying to make me take my clothes off because you feel uncomfortable? it's no ones responsibility to make you feel comfortable, who are you that I need to conform to your standards
I have been wearing the niqab for almost 7 years now, al'hamdulillah, and I have also heard some of these comments. Jazakallah khair for sharing this video sis. May Allah bless you, and all of us, Ameen.
Ma shaa Allah I got a good laugh, the chirping. I really enjoy your channel & this was good. I've heard that sisters don't want to wear any hijab because they fear for their safety, that non Muslims will attack them. May Allah protect us from injustice & ignorance, ameen
I remember when I first started using it was challenging. While I loved it the muslim community wasn't warm to it. I even went to a khutbah and the imam said Niqaabis are stifled ( May Allah make his grave spacious and forgive him of his sins Ameen). So I was the only one in beginning who started using niqaab and he saw something new stepping. But although everyone else stopped I didn't and al hamduillah it's been 8 years.
As salaamu Alaikum, sister. I used to wear niqab and took it off. I, insha'allah, want to wear it again. I have heard all of these but the one about not being beautiful is the most baffling. Allah did not say cover if you're beautiful. He said cover. And it's sad because the most negative comments I've heard have come from Muslims. Salaam from America and Ramadan Mubarak.
Allah made us all beautiful because he is beautiful and he is the Almightly Creator who's creations are not to be compared with and who's creations are perfect. That's why there is no such thing where beautiful women cover, not beautiful do not. This is nonsence because all women should be protected in islam. Because Allah created ALL women perfectly and beautifully. So covering is not for certain people. Covering is meant to be for all women and men. As for covering for women our examples are Prophet's wives who wore the niqab and in the Qur'an we(women) were ordered to follow them and indeed Allah is the Protector, The most Wise and The most Loving.
Sometimes the news cover people's eyes to maintain confidentiality of their identity ..why? Because the eyes are the main thing human brain uses to recognise a person. So saying a niqabi that "we need to recognize you" is dishonest and disrespectful... Sister, take ❤..
I don’t mean to offend anybody, but to answer to “Would you specify what the western values are?”. It’s about recognition and identification as a person/individual. It’s not about how attractive you are. You are free to cover your body, but I don’t agree with covering your face. One side of showing your face is that it specifies who you are, what your feelings are, your ethnicity (which is incredibly interesting and not discriminatory), you gestures and your attitude towards people, which (accept it or not) are the key for building a network, finding people you like and want hang out with, sending messages and tell the world who you are. Also, you may not hide a gun under your niqab but surely I’ve cought twice a niqabi in a shop stealing things and hiding them under her niqab. If you hurt a person or make an accident and fly away, nobody will ever recognize you and you’ll remain unpunished. I don’t obviously mean that niqabis are robbers/bad people, but when the topic “security” comes in, this is an example why. Yes, the western culture is about freedom of choice, but part of it is also about having a physical identification and be recognizable. Everything has a limit: if I’ll ever go to Saudi Arabia (just an example), I’ll be happy to cover myself to not offend Saudi’s culture, if that is required. In the same way, a Saudi coming to my country (Italy) should show the same respect and leave her face unconvered. In many institutions here in Italy, such police stations, offices, banks and public institutions, it has become forbidden to go in with your face fully covered. And believe me, if something ever happens to you in Italy and would like to go to the police, you will want to uncover your face rather than be kicked out. I would like muslims showed the same respect for the western culture to the same extent they require it from us.
I suggest all of you to study about Islam...And one more thing dear friends,Our rules are only followed by true beleivers,we never force anyone...hope you understood 😕
I walk past people everyday in the street. Do I need to identify them? No. I hardly even notice them. In 5 seconds & I will never likely see them again for 2 years most likely and still I won't need to identify them. Every day woman is stealing from shops and putting in handbags or clothing. Even in the prams with infants they disguise their thefts. Thefts are in the heart & mind to do, not niqab.
My mom is hard of hearing and my niqab can cause an issue when we are outside. I try to speak louder and last resort is I lift my niqab and let her read my lips.
I wear tegidion (Hellenic garment that covers hair and face) and for me, it is a reminder that Lady Hestia is always with me. It represents the parts of my soul that I want to keep private. I reminds me of how sacred my body and soul are. The veil is not a symbol of oppression, but a symbol of freedom and privacy to me.
I would like to give some input when the verse of hijab was revealed to the prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزۡوَٲجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَآءِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ يُدۡنِينَ عَلَيۡہِنَّ مِن جَلَـٰبِيبِهِنَّۚ ذَٲلِكَ أَدۡنَىٰٓ أَن يُعۡرَفۡنَ فَلَا يُؤۡذَيۡنَۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. Quran the Wives of the prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم started to cover their faces as Aisha رضي الله عنها said حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ الرُّكْبَانُ يَمُرُّونَ بِنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُحْرِمَاتٌ فَإِذَا حَاذَوْا بِنَا سَدَلَتْ إِحْدَانَا جِلْبَابَهَا مِنْ رَأْسِهَا إِلَى وَجْهِهَا فَإِذَا جَاوَزُونَا كَشَفْنَاهُ . Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: Riders would pass us when we accompanied the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while we were in the sacred state (wearing ihram). When they came by us, one of us would let down her outer garment from her head over her face, and when they had passed on, we would uncover our faces. Sunan Abu-Dawud (The Rites of Hajj (Kitab Al-Manasik Wa'l-Hajj)) Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 1833 so if the righteous women would like to take the next stage of modesty and cover their faces following the Wives of the prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم then may Allah bless our sister just like the men when they follow the prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم in almost every single thing I'm really proud to see our brothers and sisters from around the world holding on to their faith May Allah blesse you and protect you and your family and friends and all Muslims and gather you all together in Paradise السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
i’m sorry if this is viewed as offense or disrespectful, but i’m a girl, and i think your eyes are really pretty. again sorry, i’m sorry if compliments are against your faith.
That is very sweet :) don't worry, they are not against my faith. I would deem it unneccasry and too personal if a man would say that but I think us women should say more nice things to each other
I'm not Muslim, just stumbled across your channel, but I just want to say i think that whatever helps your faith is cool, you do you & I love your attitude towards the ignorant comments.
Faridah Bakare I ment my grammar :) Hmm good question. It depends usually about the energy I'm getting from the person. Like if they are ok (not mad, aggressive etc) i usually say it is a way for me to feel closer to God (i usually use the word God in these short conversations) and to be more aware of Him and my purpose on earth. To children I usually say that because I like to dress like this. :)
Here is my American Atheist take. 1. The security risk and i.d.ing someone, if you wore a one layer more sheer niqab than they shouldn't have a problem with it at all (but they probably will). 2. As for it being oppressive, well yes it is when forced upon women like any other thing, but it could also create a sense of peacefulness in others. Personally, at 35 I am just finding clothes I am comfortable in thanks mostly to the internet. 3. You communicate well wearing one obviously or else we wouldn't be watching youtube videos. I don't always hear the best and I have no problem, so unless the person needs to read lips, most people shouldn't have an issue. 4. Acceptance from others, well frankly I think its selfish to demand other people live to my standards just as I don't want to live by theirs.
It's not just about how a woman feels in it or if she is forced. The concept behind it is sexist inherently. If a woman chooses it willingly and enjoys it doesn't mean it isn't sexism. Women often enjoy sexism but we still acknowledge that it's sexism, and often feminists will even berate and harass Christian women who choose sexism as a lifestyle, but apparently Muslim women are too stupid to know better so we just agree with them and shut up.
@@kiturakhan4764 Maybe you are the one who is too stupid to understand that God exist , and we should obey Him , regardless of how comfortable or uncomfortable you think it is.
As a niqabi moving to the west, I was told that I would just attract more gazes due to the Niqab and that no one really cares to look at a Muslimah with Hijab as their men have more attractive things to look at. How would you counter that argument. Really appreciate your work. Looking forward to more videos from you. Barakallahu feeki.
I have heard this too sometimes. My personal experience is that I still got unwanted comments about my looks etc when I was dressing the same but face showing ( no makeup, no flashy things...) So there is still that risk of fitna and other people coming to your space. And wouldn't these people say that hijabi sister (in her sharia clothing) is attracting gazes too with her outfit cos it will always be different from the general Western dress? People also falsely think that non-muslim/muslim men wouldnt watch them cos they can watch the half-dressed ones. Modesty is in fashion now and they are trying to make it attractive in a bad way and many men still feel modest woman is more attractive. Then again I would also say that we dont wear the niqab only for the sake of men not seeing us but as a means to feel the closeness to Allah and to be aware of Him and our actions. It's not all always about men :)
Siddiqa Mujawar people already stared at me in just hijab so putting on niqab was easier since I knew people already stared, I didn't want the people staring at me to stars at my face so that's why I wear it plus it's a Sunnah if not obligatory, idk what I think but I think niqab is beneficial
Hello, I'm not Muslim but I do not think these kind of comments from others are worth your energy. Wear what you are comfortable wearing no matter where you are. If you want a hijab wear it, if you want a niqab wear it. I would say for me personally you would attract my passing interest if I walked past you but not in a negative way. I'd be curious, I'd like to know what inspired your choice maybe if I got to know you I would ask but I wouldn't just randomly stop people on the street and poke them verbally about it because its not my business and from what I've gleaned in general it seems like a very personal topic to ask questions about.
What did you expect? Choosing to wear the niqab/burqa in a free western society is about as modest as putting a red flashlight on your head. Please don't wear the uniform of the ISIS/Taliban ideology in public
I'm not even Muslim (not even religious) but I admire your practice of wearing niqab and to be modest. I actually hate that the concept of privacy or 'purdah' is totally gone in the West. I want to wear more modest clothing but I don't dare. I admire you for standing up for your beliefs and values. Actually I think a lot of western clothing objectifies women. Women don't need to be on 'display'. Btw. 'western values' are different for every person. Indeed not everyone has the same 'western values'
Masha'Allah! i am a new subscriber. it's been 9 months now that i am wearing niqab. And i cannot imagine my life without it. from non- Muslims we can expect such questions..but in a Muslim state things are not very different now. i have faced a lot of criticism over it. i am 27 and people were like "This is not your age to do such things". anyways.. JazaakAllah for your efforts! May Allah give us hidayah.
The idea that women’s bodies are inherently sexual, but men’s bodies are not (at least not to a similar degree) plays into the prejudice that sex is something that only men want, and only women provide. Women by themselves don’t have any sexual agency or sexual desires, so there’s no need to hide men from the gaze of women - no temptation results anyway. This is factually incorrect and sexist. The idea that women should be held responsible for men’s sexuality rather than let men by themselves take responsibility for themselves is also deeply sexist. I’m a heterosexual man. I’m responsible for my own behavior in every way. That remains precisely equally true regardless of whether the women in my vicinity is wearing burqa or being completely nude. I reject the idea that sexual temptation is a sin in the first place. This demonization of perfectly normal human sexuality is by itself harmful. Behavior can be wrong, but merely feeling whatever it is you’re feeling can’t by itself be wrong. I reject the strongly associated idea that consensual sex between adult human beings is in any way wrong. Adult human beings own their own bodies and have the right to do what they want with those bodies as long as their actions do not harm others without consent. We don’t require the “stamp of approval” from God, or from a priest in the form of “marriage” in order to be allowed to have sex. I think especially the forms of clothing that veils the face act as both a practical and emotional barrier between the women wearing it and the rest of society. islam is misogynistic: Treats women as commodities or at least as something that is impure and inferior to men and who must submit to his will. Has a prophet who has gone on record and stated that most of the people in hell will be women and that an "impure" woman will drag with her, her father, brother, husband and even son to the pits of hell! Claims to treat women equally, but allows them no freedom outside their house. Makes it mandatory for women to be accompanied by a man she knows (mahram). Makes it the woman's responsibility to not 'distract' and 'seduce' men by exposing themselves. Allows 4 wives to man but only one husband to a woman. Even in heaven, gives the pious woman her man, but 72 virgins to the man! Considers the testimony of a man to be twice as strong as that of a woman..... and many more.
No, dear, it's not that there are no men in the West. It is that culture is different. Men in the West KNOW that rape is wrong. It may still happen, but it is not encouraged, applauded or condoned like it is in Muslim societies. We still have a ways to go in the whole "she deserved it because she was looking sexy" problem, but compared to Islam we are significantly advanced. Don't you see that by wearing hijab you are AGREEING that it is a woman's fault for being attacked if she isn't dressed appropriately? You can argue all day long that men still have standards placed on them but if that were true the concept of covering wouldn't exist at all in the first place.
Walaikum salam dear sister, JizaqoumAllahu khairun for your video. Mash Allah I am always pleased to see a sister demonstrating her obedience to Allah by wearing the niqaab. As munaqaba women we recieve many comments and sister , in the words of a wise man (whom I happen to be married to ) if we stop to throw a stone to every dog in the street who barks as we walk by, the stones will be sold in the market and at a high price. let me encourage you that it is the Sunnah of our Prophet Salalahu alaiyhi wa salam to not answer to every ignorant person, not answer to the arguers and just be busy with ourselves and our ibaadah, cleaning and clearing our intention for Allah as we wear His gift to us. Not answering the ignorant and staying away from people who wish to involve you in fruitless arguing will make you higher and give you dignity. Secondly it must be understood that first and foremost we wear our hijab (including the niqaab) as we do as a demonstation of our submission to Allah as the women of the sahaba did When Ayat Al Hijab came down the women pulled the cloaks from their heads down over their faces as an act of obedience and out of submission to the ir Lord. So first and foremost, When Muslims challenge me that perhaps it not so necessary in the West to wear the cover that we do, I say, that When we are Muslim, Wherever we are on His earth we have an obligation to obey Him, whether we are in Finland, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan America or Wherever...we are on the Land of Allah and people submitted to Allah we must obey His order to cover as we are ordered in the Quran which is to be covered completely....what a Beautiful gift alhumdulilah. It is not so much because we are in a country where there are men...with or without feeeling but moreover because we have been ordered as believing women to do so.:)
Wa aleykum assalaam dear sister Wa iyyaaki :) Thank you for your advice, you are absolutely right: the main reason to wear it anywhere is and should be Allah. I should be more specific next time in shaa Allah :) Also I want to thank you for your kind way of advicing as it seems to be rare these days
@@niqabinextdoor1954 Assalam u Aleykum sister, Allhamdullilah you found my advice useful. I have a few other things I would like to talk to you about for your benefit but I would prefer to do so in a less public manner to avoid interjections from ignorant people. Not sure how we do this. I would give you my email adress but I dont feel good posting it publicly. Your sister in the name of Allah, Umm Muminah Bayatly.
Assalaamu aleykum sister. Thank you for posting this video. It helped me a lot to know your views - feelings on the responses you get. Now I know more on what people with niqab go through. I support you and wish you the best.
Wa aleykum assalaam and thank you for your kind comment. I am happy if I can share the message and spread understanding. May Allah bless you in anything you do
I started wearing niqab just few months ago and I can't imagine to go without niqab anywhere💗 but unfortunatelly I have to take it off when I visit my parents in my home country, so bad. I could wear niqab all the time 😄
Miss Rose we alleikum assalam siostro. Zaczęłam nosić hijab dopiero, gdy wyjechałam z Polski. Podziwiam cię za odwagę, ja tak silna nie byłam. Szczęśliwego Ramadanu 💕
If people want to wear this voluntary and it makes them comfortable, then that's fine I guess. But when you start talking about how you need to cover up to keep men away, it just makes my stomach hurt. If a man can't keep it in his pants because of you showing face/body/etc, then isn't that the man's fault? He's the one with the problem isn't he? Isn't there anything in the quran that says something about men are expected to act like a decent human being? Meaning, don't assault women ever? No matter what I choose to wear, I'm alwats treated with respect from men. Always. Because that's how one is expected to act in my country. Our laws are very clear that wearing revealing clothes is not sexual consent. No one is allowed to act inappropriate no matter what you look like and a rape victim is never at fault for wearing "slutty" clothes. Infact, men who rapes women will rape anyway no matter what the woman looks like or wear. It is the act of raping that drives them and gets them going, not the look of that particular woman. People get raped in niqabs as well. I mean, with all respect, you don't think the "no need for niqab in the west" makes any sense because there are men there. That's your mindset. But try and understand that to me and many others it makes sense to expect that our fellow citizens, men included, will behave decent or at very least follow the law. Our laws are there to prevent the exact things you are insinuating what the niqab is for. So yeah, we don't need it where I live.
Purple Dawn I agree with everything you said about rape. It is an act of power and not about clothes. This is clearly in islam aswell. Quran says that men need to lower their gaze and they are responsible for their actions just like everyone else is. That is not what I ment when I was talking about "not neccessary in the west". My point of view was that I dont want to be seen my men. Period. And i guess I did mention in the video about the looks and not about actions of men. When I uncovered my face I was getting unwanted comments from men (not muslims) and this is one way for me to delete those all together. It is NOT the only or main reason why I cover but it is one of them. I like my privacy. Me covering this much doesnt delete the responsibility of the men over their actions. The main reason why there is so much sexual harrashment in most arab countries is that they are developing countries that has no laws for it and no surveilance over it. Also there are laws but they are not followed, due to corruption etc. This has nothing to do with islam as they usually dont follow it. No one can come and say it is ok to rape or to even touch a woman you are not married to etc just because they have certain clothes. To a practising muslim man who knows he will meet his Maker on judgement day it is clear he wont touch a woman even she would throw herself at him (we have example from prophet yusuf/joseph in that matter too).
Niqabi Nextdoor thanks again for a respectful answer. I'm kind of binge watching your videos these days as I really do find them interesting and I'm learning alot.
Please show a respect to a niqabis. It's their decision to wear what they like. Who are we to judge them n tell what not n don't to them.Allah gives the authority to wear niqab?Who are we to say no to the niqabis.
Robbery is never justifiable and the robber is accountable and should be published for his deed. Just like how a man should never even touch a woman who isn't permissible for him to touch, let alone sexually assault her. However we are living in a fantasy land if we think that people shouldn't take precautions against these acts and just expect no one to act on these evil inclinations. It's not "victim blaming" to tell a rich person not to wear expensive gold jewelry in the hood, and it's not "victim blaming" to tell a woman to not display her beauty in front of strange men.
Mashaallah sister I am really proud of u for doing this u r our voice u said everything I wanna say .I am noqabi from newyork I have heard all of these comments it's crazy 🤣🤣.they need to educate themselves really. Thank you .and may Allah protect you from harm and keep u on the right path .
You can do whatever you like....but, you are a human being and a daughter of God...Modesty is right and good...but, you don't have to HIDE...your face is expression of kindness and humaness...God does not want or require his daughters to wear a bag on their head.
even thou I am a niqabi, but I am afraid no man will love me for me since I hide myself under niqab. my tomboyish personality and bold personality hides so well under niqab. people might confuse me with being shy and girly. in this era everyone falls for faces, even I fell for a beautiful face really hard (still), it really scares me if I will be ever loved by my husband before marriage or will I be married to a man who doesn't love me
On the whole difficult to communicate aspect, I would like to agree that it can make it difficult. I suppose you can say something is wrong with me, I have had social anxiety for a good amount of my life and am finally starting to see it improve. Even so, I rely on faces a lot in communication to feel comfortable. People can hide what they are feeling, but their faces reveal what they are thinking. If someone is annoyed with me but is hiding it, I can usually tell, and without that visual cue I can't tell. Not having that could make me get extreme anxiety, because I will be constantly questioning everything I say because of the possible thoughts and hidden reactions. This is no argument against the niqab, just wanted to add a small perspective into the void of how it can cause social fear, perhaps even acute fear in normal people. I can also understand how people might be uncomfortable in general with the niqab or hijab. The covering of hair (for women) being god's law is Abrahamic in nature. Jewish women very strict in their faith do this with wigs once married. I have not seen Christian women do it (with my own eyes), but it exists as they do sell Christian veils for everyday wear (some I find super beautiful because I'm a sucker for lace). All three religions have this rule, but the ones who follow it tend to be the ultra religious in this day and age, which is likely where the discomfort comes from. The view of the ultra religious in the west (by the more secular) is not the fondest, because the ultra religious tend to believe their religion is superior to the point where if you don't believe it your good character doesn't matter, you are a vile thing deserving of hell. In my experiences with these kinds of people I have been met with looks of pure disgust and hatred presumably because I did not fit their ideal view of a woman. That was a really long way of trying to explain that the way of dress may be associated with the behavior and the things that come from it, thus making people hate it. I personally believe that I may be guilty of this as well, as I dislike all headcoverings used for religious purposes. Respect your right to wear it, but can't stop myself from not liking it (mostly due to the origin). Super duper sorry for the long comment! I just had a lot to say, and don't really know how to close it off now.... so with the risk of possibly offending you, I have to say that I imagine you to be really beautiful to match your personality (so tempted to not include that, but conquering the anxiety one sentence at a time :) ). God bless
Hi, actually I was curious how people wearing niqabs eat and I got through your video. Please note this is not a hatred comment but I want to explain something about the security risk you mentioned here. Recently in my country SriLanka there was a huge terrorist attack did by an Islamic extremist group, which killed more than 200 innocent lives and left over 500 people injured. Later found out that before and after that tragedy, there were suspicious "MEN" who were wearing niqabs and burqas to hide in. Once you wear a niqab or especially a burqa, no one can identify whether it is even a man or a woman. Even the police or army can't check and identify those who are wearing niqabs or burqas. Therefore recently SriLanka banned face coverings. I know there can be so many other ways to carry weapons, bombs and do suspicious things, but I think covering the whole body make it hard to identify people at first sight which can be a threat. I respect peoples good choices but according to my personal opinion, I don't think one needs to wear niqab or burqa to wear modestly and if I'm not wrong, Quran doesn't mention to wear niqabs or burqas. I think, to symbolize the Islamic culture and to be modest, hijab will be more than enough, especially in tropical and warm countries like my country SriLanka.
Hello, thank you for your comment. I mourn with you for the horrible act that was done in your country. I would just like to correct couple of things: it is allowed for the security personel to check the identities of people, even with niqabs and even men checking women. With my understanding the attackers (most of them)were wearing western clothes and banning niqab is usually just a panic move done by governments who are ashamed that they couldn't prevent the attack otherwise. Like in France for example. No attacks were ever done wearing a face veil there but any attacks are used as an excuse to limit the personal choice of muslim women. The terrorist attacks that were done in Spain, France, Bali and England for example were done using backpacks but no one rushed to ban them even they cause bigger risk than me covering my face. I recognize the concern but there could be check-points to check all peoples identities, even niqabis, if there is concern. Also I would like to know what should be banned or to be done in order to prevent the attacks like in New Zeland where the attackers didnt cover their face. No one stopped those attacks from happening. So my point is that even if all the people in the world would show their faces all the time there would still be crazy people doing these attacks and some of them couldn't be prevented. The governments should think of other real life solutions to prevent these attacks from happening that dont include stripping the women without a real effect. As a conlusion for the comment that we dont know who is man and who is woman if we wear niqabs: in my country it is sometimes hard to know that even most people dont cover their faces. It is called gender neutrality and some women want to dress and do their hair like men and vice versa. Also they talk about a third gender (which cant be recognized neither man nor woman) and want to remove seperated bathrooms for example. So does it matter if someone is man or woman? And if it is concern (like men cant enter female spaces) then the check-points are an answer. Just like everyone are checked when boarding planes. I feel for your loss and I appreciate that we can have this discussion respectfully (agree to disagree).
@@niqabinextdoor1954 Thank you for your reply and I'm also glad we can have a respectful conventional. I agree with you and I also don't think banning face covering can prevent terrorism. What happened in Srilanka is happened because government didn't take any action even they knew. By the way I didn't know they can check people wearing niqab or burqa too, good to know that. I wonder whether they can check the face too. Just after I added my comment, I realized the gender neutrality problem may come up 😅 In Srilanka's incident this time it had nothing to do with gender neutrality but a suspicious person was trying to hide himself. Srilankan muslims didn't wear any niqabs or burqas or face covers till very recent and they had their own Srilankan way of wearing modestly. Anyway, thank you for your explanation and I learned new things for your videos😊
some women are already wearing niqab, they wear eyeliner, make eyebrow shape, and take selfie photos with Islamic captions. what do you think of them? I just.. I want to know. Because I feel it's not the same as the purpose of wearing the niqab that is protecting from fitnah, have hayaa' (feel shame) of public attention.
@@feefs4763 Umm ... after my first comment, and time goes on until your question came to me, I learned that someone have their own reasons why someone did it (tabarruj) or not. I respect them. About your question: "so what's the problem?" I can't answer there are no problems or oh there's the problem! Because there are 2 contexts. I don't wanna judge, so I don't think I want to question something that already has rules. So simply, just do what Allah commands, as in QS. An-Nuur, 24: 31. And that is what I follow. What someone follows, what someone chooses, it will be the relationship between her and God (habluminallah), so it's their business with Allah. While between them and me, which means the second context is habluminannas, Im fine. I hope you understand and it answers your questions. 😊
So why don't men cover?? Are men not sexualized as well? That's what I don't agree with and not all men just walk around looking at everyone like a creep judging people
Men have to cover themselves and they also aren’t allowed to touch woman , to speak to them first, to flirt with them or date them or even shake hands with them. Do your research before you try to spin the narrative that Islam is oppressive towards woman
Assalamualaykum sis🌸 wanted to tell you that right before this video, there was an advertisement of a female online store and alot of the woman's awrah was showing. In shaa Allah you can look into your AdSense as it allows for various filters to block certain ads: You can block by advertiser domain name or url, general categories (apparel, cars, real estate, etc), sensitive categories (politics, religion, etc), specific ad networks, or even individual ads. Baarak Allahu feeki 🌸
@@niqabinextdoor1954 You're welcome, habeebah. I also wanted to send you love after watching the video you made about how you store your jilbabs and the amount of hateful comments. May Allah keep you firm on the Deen and protect you and your loved ones from harm. 💗
Razan Abdalla I can think about it. But where in islam does it say that only the most beautiful would wear niqab? All of us are beautiful in our own way and Allah made us all beautiful. Also niqab is not just about beig beautiful. It is about being conscious about Allah and our actions
As salam aleyki, I watched all the videos and I like a lot you are beautiful Allahuma baarik, continue like this, I support you from France. Sorry for my english ^^
Allah gives success, that is the ultimate goal. So the factors such as wealth, beauty, linage, etc will do nothing for us except by the will of Allah. One can have non of these things and ALLAH can grant us SUCCESS, success in our family, our Deen, our sustenance, success in this life and the next. Yet we can have all these factors, and Allah can withhold any or all the successes from us, the greatest success Allah can withhold from us is Imaan, the fortune of being able to recognise our Creator. So those factors should not make us proud, we should be humble, appreciative and eager to get closer to our Creator. May Allah grant us success.
It may be a choice for some women lucky enough to have male family members or parents in an Islamic family who *actually* give a woman 100% freedom to wear whatever she pleases...BUT the vast majority of women will face some sort of negative repercussion for NOT wearing it. (Niqab/hijab)
You look so beautiful. I love modesty and I feel much more safe and comfortable in modest clothing. I have worn a hijab and abaya for over a decade now and intend to do for the rest of my life. I wish non-Muslimah could wear this. I wonder if it would be wrong for me to wear.
Please, as a representative of uneducated Americans regarding the beauty of Islam and its commandments, kindly accept my apologies on behalf of Islamic women who choose to cover themselves, thereby following those commandments in freedom. Your videos are beautiful.
Assalaamu Alaykum can u please show how u wear this look please InshaAllah what type of hijab cover are u wearing over your niqab.. Lots of love your revert sister from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Assalamualaikum sister... jazakallah dear. Thank you so much for this video...and all of your videos on niqab.. i have been wanting to wear the niqab (i dont know why..or know how to explain thefeeling) for so long..but never have the guts to do it. I love your inputs and encouragement etc..from these videos. Thank.you..please dont stop posting. Ps. Can i download some of your videos so i could always have them in my phone to be watched when things get tough.. ?
Salam aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh am wearing the Niqab since 2019 I have heard all these comments Allhumduillah am happy wearing my Niqab I feel free the more hate I get the more my imaan is skyrocketing Allhumduillah may Allah Swt protect our Ummah Amin 🤲
I don't understand why they can't just accept the choice of Muslimah to wear a Niqab. Why everyone can wear whatever they want BUT Muslim women NOT? Why They defend freedoms But in the other hand they deprive Muslimah of her freedom? Is the Muslim woman a slave to order her to wear this and that? Even media they only show that Muslim women are forced to wear Niqab, but never talk about many Muslim women who they chose to wear Niqab themselves and no one forced them to do so Why can't they respect the choice of the Muslim women to wear the Niqab? PS: All the questions above for Muslim and non-Muslim, too
Because the Niqab has become the uniform of the most backwards and the most aggressive and intolerant branch of Islam. Such as Wahabism, ISIS and the like. Actually, I think the Niqab is a very reasonable protection gear for desert environments and maybe even a reasonable clothing to avoid deseases from spreading when people are packed together in a commuter train or busses. But I fear it as the uniform of a misogynistic war religion which denies everything which makes the western culture worth living in.
I just watched the video and was very informed of the information you provided. My opinion if you’re happy and enjoying your lifestyle I see no problems with it. People have the right to choose their own culture and religion. I am curious if your children(daughters) have to start dressing like mom at a early age? Enjoy your day and smile! 😃
Asalaamu alaykum Jazakallah khair. Thank you for this post... funny cause I’m looking to get married but many Muslim men do not like the fact I wear in niqab lol May Allah bless the ummah this Ramadan and forgive our sins
Assalaam alaykum. İf anyone is looking for marriage then ease email me. My brother is looking and he is a hafiz of Qur'an. Mixed race. freshstart12310@outlook.com
Jennifer Sian Of course not :)i need to take it without niqab but with hijab for id and passport (i use female photographer). And i show my face to anyone at passport check (male or female,if i cant choose) :)
Assalam o alaikum sister. I just saw your video of "how to eat from niqab". Some of the tips were already used by me but the others were quite helpful Jazakilllahu khaira for that. But i have a question. You went to the restaurant to eat with your gloves on. You had the advantage of fork so u ate easily. But not all the times we are having the forks to use while eating for instance buying food from some food stall. Or eating some pakistani dishes like loaf etc, even french fries diesnt always offers a fork or spoon with them. So how to eat such foods if u wear gloves? If u have any tips for this do share. Jazakilllahu khaira
Lilah V I believe latex gloves have a kind of powder on them, don't they? That may make it a bit dangerous depending on what powder it is, and even if it isn't toxic it can't be good in large quantities. They have these special gloves for preparing meat and fish, that tend to be a bit baggy from what I've seen. Those might be a better alternative, as they might be able to slip right over the already being worn gloves, allowing no inconvenience of trying to find a place to change gloves... that's my idea anyways
You are so awesome!! I enjoy your videos very much. I agree with you 100% what you say in this video. Nobody should tell you not to wear niqab, that is your right!!!
Can you maybe make a longer video about the role of the niqab in Islam? Like naming some quran phrases which discuss this topic and so on. I am willing to learn from you, interesting video!
Assalamoalikum sister BarakAllah feek may Allah swt give u ajare kaseer on this I'm a new subscriber really loved ur videos I Love the way u addressed such comments 😄
As I understand, muslim women can take their hijabs etc off if they are only with other women. But what if a man is 100% gay, is that still forbidden or would that be any better of a situation?
Assalam Alaykum sister you look beautiful MashaAllah !! May I ask you a question ... Are you a convert or are you born with the religion Islam ? btw: I am a convert
Salam Sister i really appreicate you doing this video and denouncing all the stupid comments haha. Is it possible to do a video about how to travel through the airports while in niqab? Inshallah tallah i want to wear niqab full time but the airport is where im most worried about. I hope you have a great day inshallah.
Wa aleykum assalaam sister. Wa fiiki barak Allah :) I was about 15 but started to practice when I was in my early twenties :D it's has been a long journey and I hope to film it for you soon in shaa Allah
Niqabi Nextdoor Masha Allah that will be great. Cant wait to hear your revert story insha Allah🤗🌸 What about your family...do they accept that you are a muslim and wear niqab?
I think the "security risk" is that unscrupulous people would wear a niqab as a disguise for nefarious purposes. Regarding communication, how does a niqabi communicate with the deaf? Besides sign language, the deaf really depend on facial expression and sometimes lip reading. How do you address that in your community? Thanks in advance.
Thank you. It never occurred to me to use a cell phone to type. How clueless is that.? I know that you wear niqab for modesty, but you're also way ahead of the rest of us in protection from COVID-19 and exposure from the sun. I bet your skin is beautiful. I'm sorry you get such flak for wearing niqab. I don't understand why people think they can tell a woman what she can or cannot wear (whether it's the length of a skirt, have to wear high heels to work, no tank tops, etc.). You're a grown-ass woman, you can dress as you please, and you don't have to answer to anyone. But I thank you for educating us about niqab. God bless.
I think you have beautiful blue eyes Whatever other people may think don't let it bother you I'm not Muslim But beautiful is in the eyes of the beholder And your a Real sweetheart 💓
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ?????????hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man over and over again we are sunii we dont beleive in taquyiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa stop being idiot the sect that beleive in taqyia are the shiaaa stop being idiot pls
Taqiyyah makes no sense because it's from the Shia sect,stop confusing this with sunni islam.Taqiyyah is Bid'ah which is clear cut haram and not from the sunnah.You people need to make the distinction.It tells me you know nothing about true islam except for what the propagandist feed you.
I'am so confused all the time about Niqab , I mean 1.why should girl wear Niqab Speacialy if she's not that much beautiful .. I know that only sooo much beautiful girls should wear it.. And the regulars one should only wear Hijab.. 2.i don't wear Niqab or Hijab but I feel comfy covering my face 'cause simply I can smile, look,.... Etc without no one judge my action but still can't find so strong reason I can wear it for 3.if am covering my self from men in my Arab world would be 'cause of there uncontrolled self, which that's not exist so much on the west .
I'm a Christian and I have been prejudiced towards people with niqabs before (I haven't actually spoken to anyone with niqab in my life, and they are banned in my country). But you do seem like a very nice person and you really opened my eyes up to the other side of the story. I really appreciate that you are directly addressing the contentions people have with you wearing it in a respectful manner, so hope that helps you get more acceptance. Best of luck! :)
You are very sweet thats a nice comment for you to say to her i agree❤ may Allah (God) bless you and guide us ameen
Via Media hello I’m Muslim woman who covers we are human like anyone else everybody has different personalities and characteristic what’s annoying is when people think we less then human or living being. We have families, we eat, pay bills , we are happy at times , sad and we have emotions but sometimes people at like we are not human and they are ignorant asking dumb questions. I hope one day u meet Muslim women and talk to her with niqab on. You we see we are friendly.
she feels safe and beautiful, confident and i wish i felt that way outside my home.
This is why I wear an abaya and a hijab. I feel safe and comfortable wearing them and am feeling led to wear the niqab when I go out.
You feel unsafe probably because of men? Because it won't help for that purpose. Only fixing men will fix that issue
I’m a white, British atheist woman and I’m watching this because I have never been educated on anything to do with the Niqab so thank you for making this video! I support you!
Rosa pierce Thank you for your comment! Welcome to my channel. I try to do videos in the future about how and why I started wearing it so maybe you can check them out too :)
Wearing Niqab is to please Allah SWA, not people; what people may feel or think it’s on them that is nothing to do with us.. .. -the same way I don’t feel disrespected by someone semi naked... The same rule applies!! -In my case; I do it for my protection as a Muslim woman.. I feel more comfortable and modest going outside with niqab.. “no one said is easy ... it’s a challenge”.- But, Allah knows our struggles.. .. Alhumdulillah for niqab .!!!
Well said
Alhamdulillah
Can I copy your comment? I really want to say this
Agreed
Assalamalikum sister I am in CT also wishing there were more sisters like her in my life
I enjoyed watching your video and I have niqabi friends who told me that they enjoy wearing the niqab and it was their personal choice to wear it. People need to mind their own business of what other people wear and worry about their own lives instead.
I don't feel that it is fair to suggest that all men are trying to 'rob you of your body'
Men can be respectful. Men can control their desires. It is not ok or normal to have to hide in case a man rapes you. It is not ok to rape or disrespect people of any gender . where there is mutual respect and trust a woman does not need to cover herself and covering yourself appears to be normalizing men who are disrespectful
katie willow Who said I cover so men could control themselves better? They have responsibility over their actions regardles of what I or anyone else wears.
In case you didnt know islam says to men they need to take responsibility over their actions and gazes just like women do.
I cover mainly for other reasons and I will post a video about it in the future. So do subscribe so you wont miss it.
I quoted your words. You said them.
Still the coverimg is for god. However their system of education among men sexuality should be reformed to help them to treat women like human. No matter if they have niqab, hijab or none
Death Boi to be modest is for god. To cover to this extent may have been influenced by the taliban and not good people. I appreciate her modesty, but from human to human, it creates a barrier.
Hello Katie.
It is a matter of perception and individual choice. Of course I respect your opinion, in fact for the major part of my life I have been of the same opinion.
But the more I meditated and tried to understand religion, I finally started to realized the crux of covering up is "humility". Months of pondering made me acknowledge the fact that humility and spirituality go hand and hand and one cannot be arrogant and be close to God at the same time. The more one covers up, the more they feel humbled by their appearance, it's not appealing anymore and it detaches the person from the love of this temporary world.
Though live in a "muslim" country, I have seen many many women in seven star places, being condescending towards women who dressed humbly and it always ALWAYS made me wonder "how can you judge someone based on the brands they wear?" and I never liked that biased treatment. Our world has become so material that we aren't stopping to really understand a person before passing comments on them. I've seen women mistake a random humbly dressed woman as a "servant" with the family, and these superficial assumptions really surprise me.
Same goes for men they are supposed to dress humbly and NOT stiffen their spines and necks when they walk, and their nose shouldn't be up in the air.
Hence it all comes down to preventing arrogance. Women love to look pretty and somewhere in their hearts they do want compliments. And I'm not ashamed to admit these things.
And hence the covering up, because God is like we don't NEED validation, the only one whose validation a Muslim seeks is Allah. And hence, covering up is one of the "tests" of this world. To practice that I don't need to wear a certain brand to feel good or confident, I don't NEED anyone to tell me I'm pretty to think so of myself, I don't need a mirror to reassure me of my looks. I don't NEED looks. The material world is exploiting people's mindset and the need to compete with others and looking better than others is becoming such an obsession to the brink of narcissism, and causing "less" fortunate to compare themselves to "more" fortunate, creating a BIG barrier between rich an poor, fat and skinny, advertisers defining beauty, etc. We judge people by their clothes for instance, and THEN decide to talk to them. It's a pathetic system.
We NEED major covering up for both men and women.
This is why men are encouraged to grow humble-looking beards in Islam, it covers up an attractive face, and to keep their eyes lowered, and to wear a loose dress, and keep their dress a bit over the ankle, like construction workers, because it would remind them that no amount of money in their bank puts them above a laborer. These are the reminders set for us by Allah to always look at and remain humble and practice equality. So we can remember that everyone must be treated equal, so we don't judge by appearances, so no one feels intimidated by anyone else, or feels that a person is hard to approach because of a superficial barrier. A servant should be able to sit beside their master comfortably, and at the same level. In the end, when we die, we will take none of our belongings with us, and they will not matter to us, we will be wearing a white loose shirt, our whole body shall be covered in the most humble way, and our flesh shall be consumed by the earth. Rich and poor alike.
Now that these reminders are there, it is up to us to be reminded or to refuse the reminder. Which means not just wearing humility, but practising humility is necessary as well.
And Allah has forbidden an arrogant person from entering Paradise.
I hope this can give you another perspective. Thank you for putting your thoughts into words, so I could share mine with you.
Much love.
it's crazy to me that in the same sentence people will say oh niqab and hijab is oppressive, then try to force you to take it off. is that literally not oppression? trying to make me take my clothes off because you feel uncomfortable? it's no ones responsibility to make you feel comfortable, who are you that I need to conform to your standards
I have been wearing the niqab for almost 7 years now, al'hamdulillah, and I have also heard some of these comments. Jazakallah khair for sharing this video sis. May Allah bless you, and all of us, Ameen.
Salam aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Amin
Ma shaa Allah
I got a good laugh, the chirping. I really enjoy your channel & this was good. I've heard that sisters don't want to wear any hijab because they fear for their safety, that non Muslims will attack them. May Allah protect us from injustice & ignorance, ameen
Amin
I just wish you would live in Portland oregon ... I need a sister like you in my life :( May Allah ﷻ bless you and make you strong.
in sha Allah
Assalamalikum sister I am in CT also wishing there were more sisters like her in my life
I remember when I first started using it was challenging. While I loved it the muslim community wasn't warm to it. I even went to a khutbah and the imam said Niqaabis are stifled ( May Allah make his grave spacious and forgive him of his sins Ameen). So I was the only one in beginning who started using niqaab and he saw something new stepping. But although everyone else stopped I didn't and al hamduillah it's been 8 years.
As salaamu Alaikum, sister. I used to wear niqab and took it off. I, insha'allah, want to wear it again. I have heard all of these but the one about not being beautiful is the most baffling. Allah did not say cover if you're beautiful. He said cover. And it's sad because the most negative comments I've heard have come from Muslims. Salaam from America and Ramadan Mubarak.
Allah made us all beautiful because he is beautiful and he is the Almightly Creator who's creations are not to be compared with and who's creations are perfect. That's why there is no such thing where beautiful women cover, not beautiful do not. This is nonsence because all women should be protected in islam. Because Allah created ALL women perfectly and beautifully. So covering is not for certain people. Covering is meant to be for all women and men. As for covering for women our examples are Prophet's wives who wore the niqab and in the Qur'an we(women) were ordered to follow them and indeed Allah is the Protector, The most Wise and The most Loving.
Sometimes the news cover people's eyes to maintain confidentiality of their identity ..why? Because the eyes are the main thing human brain uses to recognise a person. So saying a niqabi that "we need to recognize you" is dishonest and disrespectful...
Sister, take ❤..
I don’t mean to offend anybody, but to answer to “Would you specify what the western values are?”. It’s about recognition and identification as a person/individual. It’s not about how attractive you are. You are free to cover your body, but I don’t agree with covering your face. One side of showing your face is that it specifies who you are, what your feelings are, your ethnicity (which is incredibly interesting and not discriminatory), you gestures and your attitude towards people, which (accept it or not) are the key for building a network, finding people you like and want hang out with, sending messages and tell the world who you are. Also, you may not hide a gun under your niqab but surely I’ve cought twice a niqabi in a shop stealing things and hiding them under her niqab. If you hurt a person or make an accident and fly away, nobody will ever recognize you and you’ll remain unpunished. I don’t obviously mean that niqabis are robbers/bad people, but when the topic “security” comes in, this is an example why.
Yes, the western culture is about freedom of choice, but part of it is also about having a physical identification and be recognizable. Everything has a limit: if I’ll ever go to Saudi Arabia (just an example), I’ll be happy to cover myself to not offend Saudi’s culture, if that is required. In the same way, a Saudi coming to my country (Italy) should show the same respect and leave her face unconvered. In many institutions here in Italy, such police stations, offices, banks and public institutions, it has become forbidden to go in with your face fully covered. And believe me, if something ever happens to you in Italy and would like to go to the police, you will want to uncover your face rather than be kicked out. I would like muslims showed the same respect for the western culture to the same extent they require it from us.
This is why I refuse to do business with them. I won't rent to them, i won't sell to them or serve them in any way.
shat up u !!!
Exactly. And this type of covering is promoting sex segregation. Society is far too advanced for that kind of backwards bullshit.
I suggest all of you to study about Islam...And one more thing dear friends,Our rules are only followed by true beleivers,we never force anyone...hope you understood 😕
I walk past people everyday in the street. Do I need to identify them? No. I hardly even notice them. In 5 seconds & I will never likely see them again for 2 years most likely and still I won't need to identify them. Every day woman is stealing from shops and putting in handbags or clothing. Even in the prams with infants they disguise their thefts. Thefts are in the heart & mind to do, not niqab.
Maybe if the person is deaf and reads lips...that might be a communication issue but that's probably rare and can be worked around.
Good point :) rarely has happened with me, but i think I would grab my phone and type it :)
@@niqabinextdoor1954 Or paper too, usually deaf people don't care about niqabs.
Im a niqabi and i am learning sign language hehehe so yea its very fun and ive had conversations wearing niqab
Jameela Bin Hussain oh that’s pretty neat!
My mom is hard of hearing and my niqab can cause an issue when we are outside. I try to speak louder and last resort is I lift my niqab and let her read my lips.
I wear tegidion (Hellenic garment that covers hair and face) and for me, it is a reminder that Lady Hestia is always with me. It represents the parts of my soul that I want to keep private. I reminds me of how sacred my body and soul are. The veil is not a symbol of oppression, but a symbol of freedom and privacy to me.
I would like to give some input
when the verse of hijab was revealed to the prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم
يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّأَزۡوَٲجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَآءِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ يُدۡنِينَ عَلَيۡہِنَّ مِن جَلَـٰبِيبِهِنَّۚ ذَٲلِكَ أَدۡنَىٰٓ أَن يُعۡرَفۡنَ فَلَا يُؤۡذَيۡنَۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
Quran
the Wives of the prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم started to cover their faces
as Aisha رضي الله عنها said
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ الرُّكْبَانُ يَمُرُّونَ بِنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُحْرِمَاتٌ فَإِذَا حَاذَوْا بِنَا سَدَلَتْ إِحْدَانَا جِلْبَابَهَا مِنْ رَأْسِهَا إِلَى وَجْهِهَا فَإِذَا جَاوَزُونَا كَشَفْنَاهُ .
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: Riders would pass us when we accompanied the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while we were in the sacred state (wearing ihram). When they came by us, one of us would let down her outer garment from her head over her face, and when they had passed on, we would uncover our faces.

so if the righteous women would like to take the next stage of modesty and cover their faces following the Wives of the prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم then may Allah bless our sister
just like the men when they follow the prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم in almost every single thing
I'm really proud to see our brothers and sisters from around the world holding on to their faith
May Allah blesse you and protect you and your family and friends and all Muslims and gather you all together in Paradise

i’m sorry if this is viewed as offense or disrespectful, but i’m a girl, and i think your eyes are really pretty. again sorry, i’m sorry if compliments are against your faith.
That is very sweet :) don't worry, they are not against my faith. I would deem it unneccasry and too personal if a man would say that but I think us women should say more nice things to each other

Faridah Bakare Whoops nice grammar :D
Faridah Bakare I ment my grammar :)
Hmm good question. It depends usually about the energy I'm getting from the person. Like if they are ok (not mad, aggressive etc) i usually say it is a way for me to feel closer to God (i usually use the word God in these short conversations) and to be more aware of Him and my purpose on earth. To children I usually say that because I like to dress like this. :)
Faridah Bakare Wa iyyaki :)
Niqabi Nextdoor afwan. lol jazakiLlahukhayran
Here is my American Atheist take. 1. The security risk and i.d.ing someone, if you wore a one layer more sheer niqab than they shouldn't have a problem with it at all (but they probably will). 2. As for it being oppressive, well yes it is when forced upon women like any other thing, but it could also create a sense of peacefulness in others. Personally, at 35 I am just finding clothes I am comfortable in thanks mostly to the internet. 3. You communicate well wearing one obviously or else we wouldn't be watching youtube videos. I don't always hear the best and I have no problem, so unless the person needs to read lips, most people shouldn't have an issue. 4. Acceptance from others, well frankly I think its selfish to demand other people live to my standards just as I don't want to live by theirs.

● Oppression does go both ways*
It's not just about how a woman feels in it or if she is forced. The concept behind it is sexist inherently. If a woman chooses it willingly and enjoys it doesn't mean it isn't sexism. Women often enjoy sexism but we still acknowledge that it's sexism, and often feminists will even berate and harass Christian women who choose sexism as a lifestyle, but apparently Muslim women are too stupid to know better so we just agree with them and shut up.

Do Women enter Heaven ?
It's against "western values" LOL. You mean, letting a woman dress however she wants but berating her for wanting to dress modestly?
As a niqabi moving to the west, I was told that I would just attract more gazes due to the Niqab and that no one really cares to look at a Muslimah with Hijab as their men have more attractive things to look at. How would you counter that argument.
Really appreciate your work. Looking forward to more videos from you.
Barakallahu feeki.
I have heard this too sometimes. My personal experience is that I still got unwanted comments about my looks etc when I was dressing the same but face showing ( no makeup, no flashy things...) So there is still that risk of fitna and other people coming to your space. And wouldn't these people say that hijabi sister (in her sharia clothing) is attracting gazes too with her outfit cos it will always be different from the general Western dress? People also falsely think that non-muslim/muslim men wouldnt watch them cos they can watch the half-dressed ones. Modesty is in fashion now and they are trying to make it attractive in a bad way and many men still feel modest woman is more attractive. Then again I would also say that we dont wear the niqab only for the sake of men not seeing us but as a means to feel the closeness to Allah and to be aware of Him and our actions. It's not all always about men :)
Siddiqa Mujawar people already stared at me in just hijab so putting on niqab was easier since I knew people already stared, I didn't want the people staring at me to stars at my face so that's why I wear it plus it's a Sunnah if not obligatory, idk what I think but I think niqab is beneficial
Hello, I'm not Muslim but I do not think these kind of comments from others are worth your energy. Wear what you are comfortable wearing no matter where you are. If you want a hijab wear it, if you want a niqab wear it. I would say for me personally you would attract my passing interest if I walked past you but not in a negative way. I'd be curious, I'd like to know what inspired your choice maybe if I got to know you I would ask but I wouldn't just randomly stop people on the street and poke them verbally about it because its not my business and from what I've gleaned in general it seems like a very personal topic to ask questions about.
What did you expect? Choosing to wear the niqab/burqa in a free western society is about as modest as putting a red flashlight on your head. Please don't wear the uniform of the ISIS/Taliban ideology in public
@@samuelvimes7686 you do understand that this attire is older than both those groups right?
I loved this! Helped me a lot , hope to see the world as a niqabi soon. Allah will give me the strenght
I'm not even Muslim (not even religious) but I admire your practice of wearing niqab and to be modest. I actually hate that the concept of privacy or 'purdah' is totally gone in the West. I want to wear more modest clothing but I don't dare. I admire you for standing up for your beliefs and values. Actually I think a lot of western clothing objectifies women. Women don't need to be on 'display'. Btw. 'western values' are different for every person. Indeed not everyone has the same 'western values'
Masha'Allah! i am a new subscriber.
it's been 9 months now that i am wearing niqab. And i cannot imagine my life without it.
from non- Muslims we can expect such questions..but in a Muslim state things are not very different now. i have faced a lot of criticism over it. i am 27 and people were like "This is not your age to do such things".

Says who !?
The idea that women’s bodies are inherently sexual, but men’s bodies are not (at least not to a similar degree) plays into the prejudice that sex is something that only men want, and only women provide. Women by themselves don’t have any sexual agency or sexual desires, so there’s no need to hide men from the gaze of women - no temptation results anyway. This is factually incorrect and sexist. The idea that women should be held responsible for men’s sexuality rather than let men by themselves take responsibility for themselves is also deeply sexist. I’m a heterosexual man. I’m responsible for my own behavior in every way. That remains precisely equally true regardless of whether the women in my vicinity is wearing burqa or being completely nude. I reject the idea that sexual temptation is a sin in the first place. This demonization of perfectly normal human sexuality is by itself harmful. Behavior can be wrong, but merely feeling whatever it is you’re feeling can’t by itself be wrong. I reject the strongly associated idea that consensual sex between adult human beings is in any way wrong. Adult human beings own their own bodies and have the right to do what they want with those bodies as long as their actions do not harm others without consent. We don’t require the “stamp of approval” from God, or from a priest in the form of “marriage” in order to be allowed to have sex. I think especially the forms of clothing that veils the face act as both a practical and emotional barrier between the women wearing it and the rest of society. islam is misogynistic: Treats women as commodities or at least as something that is impure and inferior to men and who must submit to his will. Has a prophet who has gone on record and stated that most of the people in hell will be women and that an "impure" woman will drag with her, her father, brother, husband and even son to the pits of hell! Claims to treat women equally, but allows them no freedom outside their house. Makes it mandatory for women to be accompanied by a man she knows (mahram). Makes it the woman's responsibility to not 'distract' and 'seduce' men by exposing themselves. Allows 4 wives to man but only one husband to a woman. Even in heaven, gives the pious woman her man, but 72 virgins to the man! Considers the testimony of a man to be twice as strong as that of a woman..... and many more.
No, dear, it's not that there are no men in the West. It is that culture is different. Men in the West KNOW that rape is wrong. It may still happen, but it is not encouraged, applauded or condoned like it is in Muslim societies. We still have a ways to go in the whole "she deserved it because she was looking sexy" problem, but compared to Islam we are significantly advanced. Don't you see that by wearing hijab you are AGREEING that it is a woman's fault for being attacked if she isn't dressed appropriately? You can argue all day long that men still have standards placed on them but if that were true the concept of covering wouldn't exist at all in the first place.
Jazakallahu Khairan sister. I'm planning to wear nikab In sha Allah . You inspired me to wear nikab
Walaikum salam dear sister,
JizaqoumAllahu khairun for your video. Mash Allah I am always pleased to see a sister demonstrating her obedience to Allah by wearing the niqaab. As munaqaba women we recieve many comments and sister , in the words of a wise man (whom I happen to be married to ) if we stop to throw a stone to every dog in the street who barks as we walk by, the stones will be sold in the market and at a high price. let me encourage you that it is the Sunnah of our Prophet Salalahu alaiyhi wa salam to not answer to every ignorant person, not answer to the arguers and just be busy with ourselves and our ibaadah, cleaning and clearing our intention for Allah as we wear His gift to us. Not answering the ignorant and staying away from people who wish to involve you in fruitless arguing will make you higher and give you dignity. Secondly it must be understood that first and foremost we wear our hijab (including the niqaab) as we do as a demonstation of our submission to Allah as the women of the sahaba did When Ayat Al Hijab came down the women pulled the cloaks from their heads down over their faces as an act of obedience and out of submission to the ir Lord. So first and foremost, When Muslims challenge me that perhaps it not so necessary in the West to wear the cover that we do, I say, that When we are Muslim, Wherever we are on His earth we have an obligation to obey Him, whether we are in Finland, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan America or Wherever...we are on the Land of Allah and people submitted to Allah we must obey His order to cover as we are ordered in the Quran which is to be covered completely....what a Beautiful gift alhumdulilah. It is not so much because we are in a country where there are men...with or without feeeling but moreover because we have been ordered as believing women to do so.:)
Wa aleykum assalaam dear sister
Wa iyyaaki :) Thank you for your advice, you are absolutely right: the main reason to wear it anywhere is and should be Allah. I should be more specific next time in shaa Allah :)
Also I want to thank you for your kind way of advicing as it seems to be rare these days

I started wearing niqab just few months ago and I can't imagine to go without niqab anywhere💗 but unfortunatelly I have to take it off when I visit my parents in my home country, so bad. I could wear niqab all the time 😄
subhanAllah duas dear sister for you.Ramadan mubarak sister.how are you.

Miss Rose we alleikum assalam siostro. Zaczęłam nosić hijab dopiero, gdy wyjechałam z Polski. Podziwiam cię za odwagę, ja tak silna nie byłam. Szczęśliwego Ramadanu 💕
Magdalena Olga Alhamdulilah ja też nie mieszkam w Polsce,bałam bym się tam nosić nawet hijab, a co dopiero niqab.Ramdan Kareem.Pozdrawiam.
Its optional people dont get it and every muslim country should allow women to use hijab or niqaab simple its more a tradition man made
If people want to wear this voluntary and it makes them comfortable, then that's fine I guess. But when you start talking about how you need to cover up to keep men away, it just makes my stomach hurt.
If a man can't keep it in his pants because of you showing face/body/etc, then isn't that the man's fault? He's the one with the problem isn't he?
Isn't there anything in the quran that says something about men are expected to act like a decent human being? Meaning, don't assault women ever?
No matter what I choose to wear, I'm alwats treated with respect from men. Always. Because that's how one is expected to act in my country. Our laws are very clear that wearing revealing clothes is not sexual consent. No one is allowed to act inappropriate no matter what you look like and a rape victim is never at fault for wearing "slutty" clothes.
Infact, men who rapes women will rape anyway no matter what the woman looks like or wear. It is the act of raping that drives them and gets them going, not the look of that particular woman. People get raped in niqabs as well.
I mean, with all respect, you don't think the "no need for niqab in the west" makes any sense because there are men there. That's your mindset. But try and understand that to me and many others it makes sense to expect that our fellow citizens, men included, will behave decent or at very least follow the law. Our laws are there to prevent the exact things you are insinuating what the niqab is for. So yeah, we don't need it where I live.
Purple Dawn I agree with everything you said about rape. It is an act of power and not about clothes. This is clearly in islam aswell. Quran says that men need to lower their gaze and they are responsible for their actions just like everyone else is. That is not what I ment when I was talking about "not neccessary in the west". My point of view was that I dont want to be seen my men. Period. And i guess I did mention in the video about the looks and not about actions of men. When I uncovered my face I was getting unwanted comments from men (not muslims) and this is one way for me to delete those all together. It is NOT the only or main reason why I cover but it is one of them. I like my privacy. Me covering this much doesnt delete the responsibility of the men over their actions.
The main reason why there is so much sexual harrashment in most arab countries is that they are developing countries that has no laws for it and no surveilance over it. Also there are laws but they are not followed, due to corruption etc. This has nothing to do with islam as they usually dont follow it.
No one can come and say it is ok to rape or to even touch a woman you are not married to etc just because they have certain clothes. To a practising muslim man who knows he will meet his Maker on judgement day it is clear he wont touch a woman even she would throw herself at him (we have example from prophet yusuf/joseph in that matter too).
Niqabi Nextdoor thanks again for a respectful answer. I'm kind of binge watching your videos these days as I really do find them interesting and I'm learning alot.
Please show a respect to a niqabis. It's their decision to wear what they like. Who are we to judge them n tell what not n don't to them.Allah gives the authority to wear niqab?Who are we to say no to the niqabis.
@@maryatisenar9783 I'm not judging people in niqabs, I just don't get that people wear it to prevent men from being jerks.
Robbery is never justifiable and the robber is accountable and should be published for his deed. Just like how a man should never even touch a woman who isn't permissible for him to touch, let alone sexually assault her. However we are living in a fantasy land if we think that people shouldn't take precautions against these acts and just expect no one to act on these evil inclinations. It's not "victim blaming" to tell a rich person not to wear expensive gold jewelry in the hood, and it's not "victim blaming" to tell a woman to not display her beauty in front of strange men.
My request for next video, make ‘get ready with me’ start from wear niqab, glove, socks, etc sissy

@@bullseye9723 yes. we r every where.
You can do whatever you like....but, you are a human being and a daughter of God...Modesty is right and good...but, you don't have to HIDE...your face is expression of kindness and humaness...God does not want or require his daughters to wear a bag on their head.
God doesn't require Niqab according to the majority of the Scholars
God does not have daughters or sons
I do not believe you can judge what God the Almighty wants!
We are doing what we want to do..why are you interfering?
even thou I am a niqabi, but I am afraid no man will love me for me since I hide myself under niqab. my tomboyish personality and bold personality hides so well under niqab. people might confuse me with being shy and girly.
in this era everyone falls for faces, even I fell for a beautiful face really hard (still), it really scares me if I will be ever loved by my husband before marriage or will I be married to a man who doesn't love me
On the whole difficult to communicate aspect, I would like to agree that it can make it difficult. I suppose you can say something is wrong with me, I have had social anxiety for a good amount of my life and am finally starting to see it improve. Even so, I rely on faces a lot in communication to feel comfortable. People can hide what they are feeling, but their faces reveal what they are thinking. If someone is annoyed with me but is hiding it, I can usually tell, and without that visual cue I can't tell. Not having that could make me get extreme anxiety, because I will be constantly questioning everything I say because of the possible thoughts and hidden reactions.
This is no argument against the niqab, just wanted to add a small perspective into the void of how it can cause social fear, perhaps even acute fear in normal people.
I can also understand how people might be uncomfortable in general with the niqab or hijab. The covering of hair (for women) being god's law is Abrahamic in nature. Jewish women very strict in their faith do this with wigs once married. I have not seen Christian women do it (with my own eyes), but it exists as they do sell Christian veils for everyday wear (some I find super beautiful because I'm a sucker for lace). All three religions have this rule, but the ones who follow it tend to be the ultra religious in this day and age, which is likely where the discomfort comes from. The view of the ultra religious in the west (by the more secular) is not the fondest, because the ultra religious tend to believe their religion is superior to the point where if you don't believe it your good character doesn't matter, you are a vile thing deserving of hell. In my experiences with these kinds of people I have been met with looks of pure disgust and hatred presumably because I did not fit their ideal view of a woman.
That was a really long way of trying to explain that the way of dress may be associated with the behavior and the things that come from it, thus making people hate it. I personally believe that I may be guilty of this as well, as I dislike all headcoverings used for religious purposes. Respect your right to wear it, but can't stop myself from not liking it (mostly due to the origin).
Super duper sorry for the long comment! I just had a lot to say, and don't really know how to close it off now.... so with the risk of possibly offending you, I have to say that I imagine you to be really beautiful to match your personality (so tempted to not include that, but conquering the anxiety one sentence at a time :) ). God bless
Hi, actually I was curious how people wearing niqabs eat and I got through your video.
Please note this is not a hatred comment but I want to explain something about the security risk you mentioned here.
Recently in my country SriLanka there was a huge terrorist attack did by an Islamic extremist group, which killed more than 200 innocent lives and left over 500 people injured.
Later found out that before and after that tragedy, there were suspicious "MEN" who were wearing niqabs and burqas to hide in.
Once you wear a niqab or especially a burqa, no one can identify whether it is even a man or a woman.
Even the police or army can't check and identify those who are wearing niqabs or burqas.
Therefore recently SriLanka banned face coverings.
I know there can be so many other ways to carry weapons, bombs and do suspicious things, but I think covering the whole body make it hard to identify people at first sight which can be a threat.
I respect peoples good choices but according to my personal opinion, I don't think one needs to wear niqab or burqa to wear modestly and if I'm not wrong, Quran doesn't mention to wear niqabs or burqas.
I think, to symbolize the Islamic culture and to be modest, hijab will be more than enough, especially in tropical and warm countries like my country SriLanka.
Hello, thank you for your comment. I mourn with you for the horrible act that was done in your country.
I would just like to correct couple of things: it is allowed for the security personel to check the identities of people, even with niqabs and even men checking women. With my understanding the attackers (most of them)were wearing western clothes and banning niqab is usually just a panic move done by governments who are ashamed that they couldn't prevent the attack otherwise. Like in France for example. No attacks were ever done wearing a face veil there but any attacks are used as an excuse to limit the personal choice of muslim women.
The terrorist attacks that were done in Spain, France, Bali and England for example were done using backpacks but no one rushed to ban them even they cause bigger risk than me covering my face.
I recognize the concern but there could be check-points to check all peoples identities, even niqabis, if there is concern. Also I would like to know what should be banned or to be done in order to prevent the attacks like in New Zeland where the attackers didnt cover their face. No one stopped those attacks from happening.
So my point is that even if all the people in the world would show their faces all the time there would still be crazy people doing these attacks and some of them couldn't be prevented. The governments should think of other real life solutions to prevent these attacks from happening that dont include stripping the women without a real effect.
As a conlusion for the comment that we dont know who is man and who is woman if we wear niqabs: in my country it is sometimes hard to know that even most people dont cover their faces. It is called gender neutrality and some women want to dress and do their hair like men and vice versa. Also they talk about a third gender (which cant be recognized neither man nor woman) and want to remove seperated bathrooms for example. So does it matter if someone is man or woman? And if it is concern (like men cant enter female spaces) then the check-points are an answer. Just like everyone are checked when boarding planes.
I feel for your loss and I appreciate that we can have this discussion respectfully (agree to disagree).
@@niqabinextdoor1954 Thank you for your reply and I'm also glad we can have a respectful conventional. I agree with you and I also don't think banning face covering can prevent terrorism. What happened in Srilanka is happened because government didn't take any action even they knew. By the way I didn't know they can check people wearing niqab or burqa too, good to know that. I wonder whether they can check the face too.
Just after I added my comment, I realized the gender neutrality problem may come up 😅
In Srilanka's incident this time it had nothing to do with gender neutrality but a suspicious person was trying to hide himself.
Srilankan muslims didn't wear any niqabs or burqas or face covers till very recent and they had their own Srilankan way of wearing modestly.
Anyway, thank you for your explanation and I learned new things for your videos😊

@@feefs4763 Umm ...
after my first comment, and time goes on until your question came to me, I learned that someone have their own reasons why someone did it (tabarruj) or not. I respect them.
About your question: "so what's the problem?" I can't answer there are no problems or oh there's the problem! Because there are 2 contexts. I don't wanna judge, so I don't think I want to question something that already has rules.
So simply, just do what Allah commands, as in QS. An-Nuur, 24: 31. And that is what I follow. What someone follows, what someone chooses, it will be the relationship between her and God (habluminallah), so it's their business with Allah. While between them and me, which means the second context is habluminannas, Im fine.

Can you make a video about why we should wear Niqab if we're not beautiful while Islam said only the most beautiful should wear it??
Razan Abdalla I can think about it. But where in islam does it say that only the most beautiful would wear niqab? All of us are beautiful in our own way and Allah made us all beautiful. Also niqab is not just about beig beautiful. It is about being conscious about Allah and our actions

Allah gives success, that is the ultimate goal.
So the factors such as wealth, beauty, linage, etc will do nothing for us except by the will of Allah.
One can have non of these things and ALLAH can grant us SUCCESS, success in our family, our Deen, our sustenance, success in this life and the next.
Yet we can have all these factors, and Allah can withhold any or all the successes from us, the greatest success Allah can withhold from us is Imaan, the fortune of being able to recognise our Creator.
So those factors should not make us proud, we should be humble, appreciative and eager to get closer to our Creator.
May Allah grant us success.
Niqab is beautiful!
Yup, ISIS LOVES the niqab. I have different turn-ons though
gorgeous tents !!
It may be a choice for some women lucky enough to have male family members or parents in an Islamic family who *actually* give a woman 100% freedom to wear whatever she pleases...BUT the vast majority of women will face some sort of negative repercussion for NOT wearing it. (Niqab/hijab)
You look so beautiful. I love modesty and I feel much more safe and comfortable in modest clothing. I have worn a hijab and abaya for over a decade now and intend to do for the rest of my life. I wish non-Muslimah could wear this. I wonder if it would be wrong for me to wear.
No it Won't. Non muslimah can wear it for sure
Please, as a representative of uneducated Americans regarding the beauty of Islam and its commandments, kindly accept my apologies on behalf of Islamic women who choose to cover themselves, thereby following those commandments in freedom. Your videos are beautiful.
Assalaamu Alaykum can u please show how u wear this look please InshaAllah what type of hijab cover are u wearing over your niqab..
Lots of love your revert sister from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
You’re hilarious, this made me laugh so hard! I love this video, thank you so much for making it. 🙏🏻
I want to start wearing the niqab, but I'm afraid I won't able to get a job once I graduate college.
And if you are a doctor, can you use the uniform? (While covering your face and hair). But the body and sleeves?
Assalamualaikum sister... jazakallah dear. Thank you so much for this video...and all of your videos on niqab.. i have been wanting to wear the niqab (i dont know why..or know how to explain thefeeling) for so long..but never have the guts to do it. I love your inputs and encouragement etc..from these videos.
Thank.you..please dont stop posting.
Ps. Can i download some of your videos so i could always have them in my phone to be watched when things get tough.. ?
May I ask, why is it you wear the Niqab? Thank you
Salam aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh am wearing the Niqab since 2019 I have heard all these comments Allhumduillah am happy wearing my Niqab I feel free the more hate I get the more my imaan is skyrocketing Allhumduillah may Allah Swt protect our Ummah Amin 🤲
I don't understand why they can't just accept the choice of Muslimah to wear a Niqab.
Why everyone can wear whatever they want BUT Muslim women NOT?
Why They defend freedoms But in the other hand they deprive Muslimah of her freedom?
Is the Muslim woman a slave to order her to wear this and that?
Even media they only show that Muslim women are forced to wear Niqab, but never talk about many Muslim women who they chose to wear Niqab themselves and no one forced them to do so
Why can't they respect the choice of the Muslim women to wear the Niqab?
PS: All the questions above for Muslim and non-Muslim, too
Because the Niqab has become the uniform of the most backwards and the most aggressive and intolerant branch of Islam. Such as Wahabism, ISIS and the like.
Actually, I think the Niqab is a very reasonable protection gear for desert environments and maybe even a reasonable clothing to avoid deseases from spreading when people are packed together in a commuter train or busses.
But I fear it as the uniform of a misogynistic war religion which denies everything which makes the western culture worth living in.
I just watched the video and was very informed of the information you provided. My opinion if you’re happy and enjoying your lifestyle I see no problems with it. People have the right to choose their own culture and religion.
I am curious if your children(daughters) have to start dressing like mom at a early age?
Enjoy your day and smile! 😃
No of course not. The daughters are given a choice and should pick and learn to love the hijab or niqab, if they wish to, on their own.
Asalaamu alaykum Jazakallah khair. Thank you for this post... funny cause I’m looking to get married but many Muslim men do not like the fact I wear in niqab lol May Allah bless the ummah this Ramadan and forgive our sins
Ameen sister.duas for you in sha Allah.
Assalaam alaykum. İf anyone is looking for marriage then ease email me. My brother is looking and he is a hafiz of Qur'an. Mixed race. freshstart12310@outlook.com
May Allah grant you a pious and caring husband, my sister.
Chiara Lombardo.. Ameen
Yeah cuz they can’t see your face and often ugly people wanna hide their face.
I love ur Niqāb. May I know how u do that please? JazakillahuKhairaaan😍
Yeah.. do they take your ID photo (like drivers license) w niqab? (I hope I’m not being rude. I wouldn’t do that on purpose!)
Jennifer Sian Of course not :)i need to take it without niqab but with hijab for id and passport (i use female photographer). And i show my face to anyone at passport check (male or female,if i cant choose) :)
Assalam o alaikum sister.
I just saw your video of "how to eat from niqab". Some of the tips were already used by me but the others were quite helpful Jazakilllahu khaira for that.
But i have a question. You went to the restaurant to eat with your gloves on. You had the advantage of fork so u ate easily. But not all the times we are having the forks to use while eating for instance buying food from some food stall. Or eating some pakistani dishes like loaf etc, even french fries diesnt always offers a fork or spoon with them. So how to eat such foods if u wear gloves?
If u have any tips for this do share. Jazakilllahu khaira
Lilah V I believe latex gloves have a kind of powder on them, don't they? That may make it a bit dangerous depending on what powder it is, and even if it isn't toxic it can't be good in large quantities. They have these special gloves for preparing meat and fish, that tend to be a bit baggy from what I've seen. Those might be a better alternative, as they might be able to slip right over the already being worn gloves, allowing no inconvenience of trying to find a place to change gloves... that's my idea anyways
Wa aleikum salaam, I believe carrying a spoon or fork with you could solve the problem, if it is possible. Straws are quite useful too :)
Really liked this video. X
Love from India,😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘how did you read my heart sorrow...everytime people hurt me with these comments
You are so awesome!! I enjoy your videos very much. I agree with you 100% what you say in this video. Nobody should tell you not to wear niqab, that is your right!!!
Can you maybe make a longer video about the role of the niqab in Islam? Like naming some quran phrases which discuss this topic and so on. I am willing to learn from you, interesting video!
The face veil is not mentioned anywhere in the Qur'an.
MashAllah, sister. Well said. I'm considering it...
Assalamoalikum sister BarakAllah feek may Allah swt give u ajare kaseer on this I'm a new subscriber really loved ur videos I Love the way u addressed such comments 😄
السلام عليكم
Sister I totally agree with you that the people who say it's not part of Islam ,are ignorant.
As I understand, muslim women can take their hijabs etc off if they are only with other women. But what if a man is 100% gay, is that still forbidden or would that be any better of a situation?
Covering with niqab is make you more preety and lovely you wear niqab because you love Allah
Assalam Alaykum sister you look beautiful MashaAllah !! May I ask you a question ... Are you a convert or are you born with the religion Islam ? btw: I am a convert
Salam Sister i really appreicate you doing this video and denouncing all the stupid comments haha. Is it possible to do a video about how to travel through the airports while in niqab? Inshallah tallah i want to wear niqab full time but the airport is where im most worried about. I hope you have a great day inshallah.
Salam alaikum sister. Love your videos. Barek Allahu feeki. How old were you when you revertet to islam? I wish to hear your revert story😊🌸
Wa aleykum assalaam sister. Wa fiiki barak Allah :) I was about 15 but started to practice when I was in my early twenties :D it's has been a long journey and I hope to film it for you soon in shaa Allah
Niqabi Nextdoor Masha Allah that will be great. Cant wait to hear your revert story insha Allah🤗🌸
What about your family...do they accept that you are a muslim and wear niqab?
I think the "security risk" is that unscrupulous people would wear a niqab as a disguise for nefarious purposes.
Regarding communication, how does a niqabi communicate with the deaf? Besides sign language, the deaf really depend on facial expression and sometimes lip reading. How do you address that in your community?
Thanks in advance.
using mobile, typing.
Thank you. It never occurred to me to use a cell phone to type. How clueless is that.? I know that you wear niqab for modesty, but you're also way ahead of the rest of us in protection from COVID-19 and exposure from the sun. I bet your skin is beautiful. I'm sorry you get such flak for wearing niqab. I don't understand why people think they can tell a woman what she can or cannot wear (whether it's the length of a skirt, have to wear high heels to work, no tank tops, etc.). You're a grown-ass woman, you can dress as you please, and you don't have to answer to anyone. But I thank you for educating us about niqab. God bless.
@@GaiaOne you are a nice person. :)
alhamdulillah wonderful video dear.Ramadan mubarak sister.
I'm wondering. Do you get tan lines around your eyes ?
I understand you cover you in your face but why you got your hands coupled up
I think you have beautiful blue eyes Whatever other people may think don't let it bother you I'm not Muslim But beautiful is in the eyes of the beholder And your a Real sweetheart 💓
I tried wearing a niqab but started feeling lightheaded
With niqab make women(muslimah) more lovely
A 5 year old child would win an argument against you... Nice taquiyya...
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ?????????hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man over and over again we are sunii we dont beleive in taquyiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa stop being idiot the sect that beleive in taqyia are the shiaaa stop being idiot pls
Taqiyyah makes no sense because it's from the Shia sect,stop confusing this with sunni islam.Taqiyyah is Bid'ah which is clear cut haram and not from the sunnah.You people need to make the distinction.It tells me you know nothing about true islam except for what the propagandist feed you.
Can you do a video about wearing glasses with a niqabi
I'am so confused all the time about Niqab , I mean 1.why should girl wear Niqab Speacialy if she's not that much beautiful .. I know that only sooo much beautiful girls should wear it.. And the regulars one should only wear Hijab..
2.i don't wear Niqab or Hijab but I feel comfy covering my face 'cause simply I can smile, look,.... Etc without no one judge my action but still can't find so strong reason I can wear it for 3.if am covering my self from men in my Arab world would be 'cause of there uncontrolled self, which that's not exist so much on the west .
Can someone add Turkish subtitles ? And sister your mind so beautiful and wise !
Please, sister, can you write the translation?
I don't undestand english very good 😍
Safe and protection....
Masha Allah
