- WARNING: DINA HAS MAJOR RANT FROM 18mins in all the way to 30 mins in!
Something that we both wantedt to address (dina especially for a while now and Dina finally did)
Don't worry we are not letting things get to us but once in a while it's important to get your point of view across and shed light on a few things.
For people attacking every single Hijabi girl on the internet:
You may be the reason a girl takes off her Hijab and hates the religion all together because of your constant verbal abuse, if you can't advise people politely and privately at least keep quiet. The road to hell is paved with "good" intentions.
The Beauty Neuron Your comment is so very true
Dina the next time Sid complains about carrying your phone and keys an awesome reply could be "IM CARRYING YOUR BABY, YOU DONT SEE ME COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING WEIGHED DOWN" 😂😂
Preeeeeeaaaaccch it dina!
How are you this day
So bad that I giggled through this but I just find it utterly ridiculous how muslimahs are attacking muslimahs! I mean come on girlies! This is where we fail in Islam. What happened to one ummah? People laugh at us because Muslims fight amongst themselves. Gah Dina I'm sorry you're having to go through all hate comments
You are so right! :(
zuleikha mulla agreed sister
zee matt Aww im so sorry u had to go through that. It's completely uncalled for
IKR! Thats what I eas thinking all my LIFE (will actually for 4 years)I feel for Dina so much and I just wish the hate doesn't get to her, for her to start listening to them . Because that will be very saddening to me so much
i agree
I'm a Christian and I adore your style and your heart! You are a good example of a Muslim woman to us westerners in my opinion. You aren't judgmental or rude and your husband respects and honors you (and vice versa). I have nothing but respect for you and I'm sorry that some of your brethren in Islam are rude on your social media. peace be with you!
This rant was much needed you literally said everything I always wanted to say
Dina you know I don't think you should bother responding to these people coming at you. You can take it to account, but ultimately it's your life and you only have to answer to Allah, besides you've never claimed to be an Islamic role model, you're a muslim and you should be left alone to live your life. I'm enjoying these vlogs, but I hate to hear that you're dealing with so much from the comment section. People will never stop, and those people why are they even watching your videos. So annoying.
Exactly! I don't watch her videos for religious guidance but for some decent, modest entertainment. Plus, she never claimed to be an Islamic role model. Like everybody she is doing her best. Stop criticising.
sabah firdous
Exactly! it's so frustrating that muslims are comfortable attacking someone who is just living their life, she's not trying to be a spokes woman for Islam.
SincerelySaida I'm a hafiz of quran and i think that dina actually represents islam pretty good. If all the young girls were like her then that would actually be a good thing.
So true there doing the same thing to Adam saleh u know noe in days I only see sheikh's attacking people there OWN people because some lil thing that bothers them and they make as if its a BIG THINK I just feel so sad for Dina and Adam I sometimes think there just attacking them by purpose because they have nothing better to do like live ur LIFE than to bother someone that didn't EVEN DOIN ANYTHING to u ugh this thing just bothers me so much! I try to ignore it but I cant cause its like the majority of the comments is about something small AND STUPID!😩 this is my other rant
+Anik Rahman you must be lying! Hafiz of the Qur'an, seriously?!!
I have said some pretty stupid things about Muslims out of fear but after watching your videos and that how clever, funny and normal that you are, I have to step up my game and change my attitude. This is a compliment by the way. I know people who are Christians that are just like the Muslims complaining about you. It happens in every single group. I am a new fan. I am not religious but I can still see the beauty in what you do. In my best African American voice. "you gone gurrl!"
That's really nice of you.
thank you Mr.
I M glad that u don't see as as tourism
that s so nice of u
I hope other ppl see what u see
big respect bro
have a nice day
haram and halal bro
Respect to you😊😄👌 #ProudMuslim
"AM I BLOODY TWERKING ON THE INTERNET" LOL! If anything you set a great example to young muslim girls Dina
There is an actual so called 'muslim' youtubers who have done twerking and worse on the Internet and still try to justify themselves as modest. So dina is an angel in comparison Mashallah
AcidandRain LOOOL! true though
AcidandRain
You
Love watching! Convert here and I completely understand Dina's rant.😊 I started wearing hijab a year after my first Anniversary(married 13yrs now with three kids). I'm Hispanic who was Christian and married a Pakistani. Just within a couple of months of wearing scarf a lady came to me and asked me why I wear scarf. She was from Afghanistan and told her I married a Pakistani and converted and so on. She told me, well you shouldn't wear scarf if your going to wear short sleeves and walked away. Me being new to everything I didn't even know you had to wear long sleeves. The way she said it was so hateful.
Anyways congrats on your new one! Your going to love being a parent!
Eid Mubarak!
Your rant is so relatable. I remember when I was in Medina in December this young girl came up to me and she told me my hair is showing (while I'm wearing a hijab). Bare in mind this was amongst WOMEN no MEN were in the area. I was going to fix my scarf as soon as I left the women area, but this woman randomly starts assuming. And then she tells me my bun is too high and that it should be resting on my neck. LIKE WHAT THE HELL? I obviously at first really thought about what she said because it was the first time anyone ever said anything like that to me. But later after thinking about what she said I realized how wrong she was to judge me and to come up to me not knowing my intentions etc. Some people are just ignorant, they don't know your intentions etc but they just judge because they think they know more than you.
It's always important to have good thoughts about Muslim and although I wasn't in your position, she is your sister at the end of the day and probably fears for you what she fears for herself.
Remember, no action (hijab) is accepted without correct intention as well as coinciding with sunnah,
Evidence: It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever does any action that is not in accordance with this matter of ours (i.e., Islam), will have it rejected.” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Aqdiyyah, 3243).
So even tho your intention was to wear hijab, if it is not done correctly you risk the action of wearing hijab not being accepted at all. I am far from perfect and cannot tell you that I myself wear the correct hijab May Allah guide me.
Sis I am far from perfect and I hope I could have adviced you so that only you and I could see it but I don't see it possible. Hopefully others will befit from this too and I hope my advice is still private as your on somewhat of an anonymous platform.
Your sis
Xx
Anon I understand what you're saying. I don't have any dislike towards her or wish she didn't say that because in all honesty after she said that I was WAY more cautious of any hair showing etc. The only thing is I wish she knew my intentions and that I was going to fix my scarf once I left the area of the women...she assumed I wouldn't.
Yes I understand sis.
Alhmdulilah that at least something positive has come out of it
xx
I'm not Muslim, I'm Mexican American and I started watching your channel because I love your turban look Dina!!! As I watch it's very interesting to hear your perspectives and it is an eye opener for some things that I myself would have never thought. Love you channel. Thank you
Dina & Sid, I'm not Muslim but I related so much to what you spoke about passionately about modest dressing, "correctness" of a hijab, etc. It is so wonderful to see individuals like you who follow their religion and culture and still maintain their sense of self. I think you're a wonderful role model and I feel more confident with myself after having listened to what you said about incorporating one's culture and one's religion together. Bravo and god bless to you both!
Lol sid u could hold her keys and stuff, considering that she's gonna be holding your child in her womb for 9 months and stuff not that it's a big deal or anything lol
razia sultana NICE ONE :) LOOL
Shamelessbeauty I think that you should chill. Nobody is making anybody a slave. There is a thing called marriage where a couple helps each other out and if Dina gets a lot of help cus she's pregnant whats your problem with it. And making somebody hold keys doesn't mean she's treating Sid like a slave. You just probably don't know what a relationship is. Lol single mother, I don't know where you've been brought up but in my family when a woman is pregnant she doesn't have do do anything let alone carry keys and their husbands are just fine with them if not more happy, and when it comes to respect, why don't you respect her and not call her a twat.
+Shamelessbeauty LOL u freshpot u obvs didn't get the joke and dont know about beauty but your deffo Shameless like what the actual hell is wrong with you why would you even say something like that about some ones marriage your disgusting don't talk for her like that your suppose to pray and make sua for her God forbid Sid would never ever EVER leave her your So bloody rude! Get a life!! May Allah Bless Dina's Marriage and her children Inshallah and save her from harsh words like yours Honestly think before u speak
Omg how does one innocently 'fun' comment get blown out of proportion again. I was like hi5 to the comment made by @raziasultan then scrolled down and thought oh gosh lol it's always like 'duh duh duh' (dramatic music) lol
Ppl need to stop taking everything sooooo flippin seriously. Sometimes things happen or are done without any major thought behind them I.e if I'm out with hubby il randomly ask him to hold something BUT don't stop to think for 30mins that if I ask him to hold xyz then he's gna leave me... Like what???!!! NO!!!! JUST NO!!! there's sometimes no thought process behind such acts - just random like 'hey can u grab this for a second'- does not mean I consider my hubby to be a slave....
Sid n dina have a lovely relationship mashaAllah. They take their times to vlog their lives as there are many ppl that enjoy to watch. They do not do it for ppl to sit and criticise them. If ppl don't like what they see y not just stop watching rather than leaving negative vibes!!!! There's so much negativity in the world as it is- It's just so not necessary!!!
Omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂 good one 😂😂🙌🏼
I agree with you Dina at 100% ! I'm a revert myself...and I reverted a couple of months ago....and its not that easy to be honest to deal with this judgment especially from some Muslims ! Walking down a street is being difficult as I receive these dirty looks from muslimahs just because I don't wear abaya or something similar, but I'm trying to cover myself as much as possible... anyways...you gave me motivation and I think you are a good role model! Keep up the good work! Much love, and Salam to you. :))
I am a revert , slow and steady wins the race ,do everything slowly dnt over burden yourself , small steps x
Let's just appreciate the fact that Dina has a half an hour vlog up😭👏 long vlogs pls!
Dina I just want to say that through these vlogs and your past couple of videos, I've really gained a lot of respect for you. You're genuine and sincere and hilarious and kind hearted. And I can see that you're trying to be a good Muslim and are trying to make a good Islamic household for your child :) As long as you try and do your best, Allah is with you. I wish you nothing but the best x
I am a 20 year old American Muslimah with two converts as parents and listening to your rant was so refreshing to me. Thank you for saying things that really REALLY needed to be said.
Well said seriously! Some people only know how to 'judge others'. Islam is a way of life like Dina said so Islam doesn't give you that right to judge! Well done Dina! X
مرحبًا دينا! أتفق معك في كل ما قلتيه، فعلاً اختلاف ثقافات الشعوب تؤثر كثيرًا على مفهوم الحجاب، ففي كل دولة هناك مفهوم خاص للحجاب أو حتى مفهوم خاص للدين! مثل عندما ذهبتي إلى أندونيسيا وواجهتي تلك الإختلافات (السفر بلا محرم، غناء المرأة،....) ولكن هذه الإختلافات لا تعني أننا يجب أن نتقبلها، كونها اختلاف ثقافة!
ما أعنيه أنه صحيح كلامك أن الحياة في بريطانيا مختلفة وأن الثقافة مختلفة وأعرف كم هو صعب محاولة الإنسجام مع شعب لا يتقبل الإحتشام بالأصل، لكن هذا لا يعني أن هذه الآية تغيب عن بالك (وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا ۖ وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّ ۖ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ....) إلى آخر الآية ٣١ في سورة النور.
أنا أعترف بأنني معجبة بك جدًا! وبشخصيتك ما شاء الله، كما أنك أنيقة جدًا، وأيضاً فكرك الإسلامي رائع ما شاء الله!
كل ما أردت إيضاحه، أعلم أن الحجاب أمر تدريجي، ولكن يجب توضيح بعض الحقائق أحياناً، حتى وإن لم نتبعها نحن.
وبالنسبة "للشرطة الحرام" أنا حزينة جدًا على أسلوبهم معك، فالإسلام ليس حجابًا فقط! الإسلام أخلاق قبل كل شيء!
أحبك دينا!
Hello Dina! I agree with you on all of what you have said, actually the different cultures has an affect on the concept of the Hijab. In every country there is a special concept of Hijab or even a special concept of religion! Such as when you went to Indonesia and you faced these differences such as (traveling without a mahram, singing women, ....), but these differences do not mean that we should accept it, because "its just different!" I mean, it's true that your life in Britain has a different culture and I know how hard it is to try and fit in with the people that might not accept modesty, but this does not mean that this verse is absent from your mind (not to reveal their adornment except what appear thereof and beaten on the necks bosoms not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands or their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands or sons ....) till the end of the verse 31 in Surah Noor. I admit that I am very impressed with you! and your character mashallah, you are very elegant, gorgeous and also I like your Islamic way of thinking! The way you are so concerned about the little girls out there that really struggle with hijab in a non islamic country and making it easy for them..
All I wanted to clarified, I know that the hijab is a gradual thing, but we must clarify some facts sometimes, even if we did not follow it.
And about "the haram police" I am very sad for the manners they talked with you, Islam is not only about hijab! Islam is about morality before everything! Love you!
(And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands.....) An-Nour 31, just brought the aya in a proper english.
Thanx :)
Husband will be asked on the day of judgement of how he took care of his wife and if he told her to cover herself
Bc he is responsible for her
rere shy كلامك جدا جميل بارك الله فيك.
Dina, I have to admit that I really love watching you and Sid. I started watching because I wanted a different perspective on Muslims. I appreciate all cultures and I'm always so curious to learn more about different cultures. People should be more open-minded and appreciate the beauty of cultures and beliefs different from their own. It's what makes this world beautiful. I was a bit ignorant. I had the idea that yes, Muslim men dominate their women and tie them to the cupboard, but you changed that perspective for me. I love your channel I think you and your husband are such a beautiful couple. I actually show your videos to people with negative views about Muslims so they can get a different perspective as well. :)
During the rant I was just thinking ur eye makeup looks gorgeous in general ur makeup is on point there 👌🏼
*Ramadan kareem:D!....I love watching these Ramadan vlogs! Really entertaining !:)!`#*
Dream Big agreed i love watching these two whilst opening my fst
Dream Big fast*
Dream Big love ur videos bruh. Your growin fast man :O
Dream Big keep up the work. your funny, Subscribed
Adam Munir Thanks man! Appreciate it:)!`#
I freaking lost it at " AM I BLOODY TWERKING ON THE INTERNET ?! " You go girl!
Yes!!! Your rant is the best thing that's been said out there in a WHILE!!! It's like crabs in a bucket, if a hijabi is doing something good, other Muslims can't wait to crawl up and pull her down and criticize her anything they can find!
Although you already know this Dina, I just want anyone reading this to know, that you are NOT misguiding people in any way or form! You are a successful businesswoman who is covered and modest in the Western World! You are an inspiration to Muslims! That we can be successful in our career and day to day life while still holding are beliefs! MashAllah may AllahSWT bless you and your family and bring you more success and happiness! Ameen
"Your that annoying lady who films dog shit"😂😂😂😂 Sid
Everything you said in your rant is 100% accurate well done dina!
Dina, your rant gave me LIFE!!! I live in the US and, while I don't wear the scarf on my head daily, I wear it to masjid and religious ceremonies quite often. Given the islamophobic culture over here, people always ask me if I get comments from non-muslims that put me off, when, in reality, the ONLY comments I've EVER gotten were from Muslims (many men) who sought to tell me that my turban or widow's peak that's fallen out is invalidating my intentions. So to hear your rant on what hijab is, why we wear it (whatever it means to us), why other's critiques are to be ignored, and coconuts (i'm the black/white daughter of converts, as well) was SO inspiring and relieving!! It helps to make me so much more confident and sure of myself in being a Muslim when others set out to make you feel as though you're not quite Muslim enough.
Thank you, girl!
you guys are officially my favorite couple!
I genuinely want to cry because of how much I agree with everything you said Dina. My mum loves you, and appreciates everything you have to say and everything you teach.. Love you so much 💖
Islamically if someone considere them selves as muslim, no matter how small their practice is, you should accept them as being muslim and support and embrace them. Not judge, we are not here to judge each other. People need to replace their egos with the quran as we are all accountable for our own actions and no one elses.
It's such a shame that people are trying to chastise you online. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for Dina and Sid and their videos I would never have converted to Islam and I would never have started wearing hijab at all. So thank you to both of you for making Islam something accessible.
I was feeling sad but seeing you've just uploaded a 30+ minute long vlog made me happy again! Love watching your vlogs, Dina!
Dont worry Dina, people will always hate. You have actually inspired me a lot, and I wish the best for you. People will always judge the way we wear our hijab, we have different ways of wearing it and if some people think their idea of hijab is right, let them think so because what we wear is our choice. Xx
Sid "you're like that annoying lady that films dogs havin' a shit" hahahaha well some one was just not havin' it..LOL
I can't believe its been 8 years , ur vlogs were the best part of my day back in the days , and I still watch them from time to time , nostalgic ❤
why do you people care what she wears. she's not asking for you opinion. We should be showing love to fellow muslimahs not judging them.
Dina don't worry about the people who comment negative about your vlogs. I think you and Sid are doing great work. People will talk whatsoever. Just focus on the positive and care about the criticism based upon their sanity.
I agree with everything you've said. It's already difficult being a hijabi in the western world, so it's such a shame that we also get so much criticism from our own community we're supposed to feel safe in. Ultimately, there's a lot of sexism and mysogyny
I've always wanted to start a TH-cam channel - but I have social anxiety and just the amount of criticism and hate you get is terrifying. Not just you - but the other hijabi youtubers - saima, nabiila,kendyl aurora, etc.
Quote of the day: "AM I BLOODY TWERKING, AM I BLOODY TWERKING ON THE INTERNET?" LOL. I can't stop laughing.
To be honest the people who say you are wearing it wrong are probably men. Men be like " wearing a hijab is no big deal man." Even though they have never worn one themselves so don't know what kind of feedback you get from society while wearing it. This is coming from a Male btw so don't just say I'm only saying it because I'm a girl. Oh and finally where do you want Dina to put her hijab, next to her eyebrows like she doesn't have a forehead lmao...
Was I the only one waiting for their Ramadan game?? And you guys are doing a great job. Don't let the haters bring you down. These keyboard warriors need to worry about themselves.
It's really nice seeing you guys building your home together. Keep vlogging xx
I'm really glad you let out that rant Dina; these issues really needed to be discussed. And people who need to see them, I hope you learned something from it. By the way I love the maxi cardigan you were wearing going to Ikea!
i agree 100% with you... i am a new subscriber... and i am a muslim but don´t wear the hijab.. but as i saw you, you were an inspiration for me... because you combined islam with the life today we have in western countries so well and you show that a muslim woman can do something which is different and be successful and so on... Thank you for that! Many greetings from germany :-*
And to all others: accept ppl and their way of life, learn tolerance and don´t judge other ppl because everytime you put a finger on somebody four of your fingers show to yourself !!!
Loved your little rant!! I completely agree with everything you had to say. Those judgers are just backward thinkers and clearly have no idea of the world today. They literally won't get far in life with that mentality. Keep doing you, forget the haters! Sometimes I think they don't actually care it's just that you're doing better than them so they have to pick out what they refer to as flaws to make themselves feel better but they will never feel good about themself because they are mentally insecure. You shouldn't need to explain yourself they are just idiots! Lol
Dina you are an inspiration to younger girls, by posting your videos you are doing more good than any of those religious people, as you are giving young girls the motivation to be creative, expressive and to an extent to not care what others think. I completely applaud you for putting yourself on such a difficult platform, and that you have to deal with haters and annoying comment everyday. You deserve more credit and people tend to forgot how difficult your job can actually be, you have to film edit and upload in time. People take for granted the effort you put into these videos and take it upon themselves to humiliate and patronise you.
you actually inspired me to embrace dressing modestly. before i viewed it as a burden because dressing modestly while living in a western country made me feel so out of place. so screw all the people who say you are "misguiding" girls because especially us girls in non-muslim countries need inspiration from someone like you
Dina, listen up: continue to live your life and ignore the sanctimonious commenters. The easiest thing to do in life is criticize; that's why they do it.
I am actually so proud that there are successful muslim woman that are wearing hijabs,because all of those haters think that muslim woman just clean,cook and give birth,and woman like you prove to them that they can do all off that and be hella good designers or whatever they are passionate about..whay to go 👊
preach dina preach!! seriously if you have something negative to say go say it somewhere else let sid and dina live their lives and you go live yours. Shes not doing anything wrong here apart from following what she believes in. And congrats dina on the baby news may allah bring you all the happiness xx
It's so sad that the Muslim community is so judgmental of one another. We are one ummah, and we should support each other. Judgment is for Allah to do, not us.
+farheen_sh I completely agree with you.
Dina im really glad you addressed this issue. Couldn't agree with you more!
The Abaya (traditional long, usually black robe) is not this universal clothing that all women must wear. My family is from south india and over there long skirts, full (sleeves and blouse) saris which includes long and beautiful scarves were/are considered the ideal modest clothing until much later when the Abayas was introduced from Arab settlers.
Different cultures, different clothing, same modesty.
I agree dina, hijab is a whole concept not just a cloth on the head. X
Dina always keeps it 💯, I love how she always puts these Internet sheikhs in their place and speaking the truth. I love how she explains her points so clearly. Keep doing what you're doing Dina! May Allah reward you for your efforts and for being an inspiration for so many young girls. You're a great role model don't let these people tell you otherwise.
Rant on point! And lovely vlog all together!
AM I FLIPPIN TWERKING ON THE INTERNET! Soooo funny! You go Dina!!!!
I think you look stunning in thr hijab modest and full of life. You make islam look more peaceful and approchable than anyone in a black jilbab. Keep it up!! Love it.
agreed
I came across you on social media since the very beginning and to be honest you've been a HUGE role model to me, seriously ! Don't let all those critics/haters and all those so called " sheikhs " trynna put you down ! Your hijab, your life, your decisions ! keep on rocking (y)
Dina keep it up. I'm so glad that you think like that, it makes me happy that Muslim women are successful!
Islamic feminists are my favorite!!!! Say that Dina!!!! And hats off to Sid for supporting you with mere presence and some interjection. A real man feels no diminished sense of himself by his wife's empowerment. Your baby is getting two strong parents as guides. Thank God indeed for that.
I'm not Muslim (so I don't know what right I have in joining this conversation at all lol), but love your stance on fashion and style and just being creative/expressive. Cultural clothing is various and can still follow certain principles/ideals. Right on!
I've watched your Vlogs over and over again, it's just so therapeutic watching you guys during the exam stress💕
Eid Mubarak to all.
Thank you
Well said Dina! You're so right.
Hope all the people who leave abuse have listened in. How about all the non Muslims who watch your videos and get attracted to Islam? Keep it up! We love your vlogs! ❤️
You tell them Dina, who else agrees?!
Dina, you are amazing! What you do is truly inspirational to so many women, both young and old. Every morning when I wake up and I'm prepping for work I watch your videos. Please continue what your doing. Your intentions are pure, and ISA you'll be rewarded. Hope you do a meet up next time your in Cairo!
I agree with everything you said Dina🙌🏼🌚
SO PROUD OF YOU! That rant was definitely honest, heartfelt, passionate and ON POINT! Thank you for being so vocal and honest rather than "taking the high road" and being subservient. Someone needs to bring about broadening of thought and I'm happy you're championing this cause even if you dont think you are. Fight the good fight, because only things that are worth it are worth fighting for. And you're doing this to make a better world for your child.
I guess it's all about you. if you want to wear it then wear it. if you don't then dont rush into it. in Islam they always say "and do not hasten in things".
don't force yourself into anything. first start slowly. e.g instead of a short skirt, you wear a long skirt.
congratulations on becoming a Muslim. mabrook
this is actually for lady tessa
'tied to the kitchen cupboard' and 'Am I bloody twerking?' OMG Dina PREACH! You just slayed man! That rant was necessary and it was so great!
TELLEM DINA! Muslims are supposed to come together because Islam is about peace, not constantly look for something to judge aned call haram smh
I don't know if you're reading this but you are one of the best role models out there now adays. The world needs more people like you! My favorite TH-camr ever mashaallah. Keep on doing what you're doing. 😄👍❤👏👏
dress like what? you're dressed so modestly.... In my opinion the way you're dressed is more practical than wearing the long black robe everyday which is way too hot in the summer months. i personally don't even believe certain things like niqab is part of islam. I believe niqab is just cultural.
Dina, thank you, thank you for mentioning the struggle that converts have to go through when trying adopt modest dress. My mom is also a convert. When I was young, I constantly saw my mom getting ridiculed for the clothes she wore, and sisters from other cultures "advising" her on how to dress more islamically appropriate. She went through phases of wearing Pakistani clothes, Arab clothes, West African clothes, you name it. After a while, she realized how ridiculous it was to limit the idea of hijab or modesty to one type of clothing. She eventually became confortable in her own style, and even started sewing her own modest dresses, alhumdulillah. I think its so important to encourage and support other muslim women in finding what hijab style is most fitting for them, and to not put certain styles, such as the abaya, on a pedestal.
PREACH IT SISTAAAAH!
100% agree with this rant, one may try to pass it off as advice but we all know it's thinly veiled judgement aimed at shaming. Men need to stop trying to tell women what to do with their deen.
Well said dina. We should go closer towards allah not going backwards. Like when ppl say if ur not gna wear hijab properly dont wear it at all. Thats just going completely backwards. People have steps to take in islam things r not gna be done over night. Also men need to be modest as well as women. People really need to educate themselves b4 giving there own interpretation of islam. Yes its obligatory for muslim women to cover but allow the sisters time to make that step. Yes its not nice seeing girls wear hijaab then wearing tight jeans which show ur figure but just have at the back of your mind that she way want to change and thats her step.
Ive been learning about Islam for a few years now, i know the rules etc but and am far from having an ounce of knowledge but the most important thing ive learnt is your character defines your piety.
Those that truly care and have sincere intentions would not "advise" like this. The prophetic way is to firstly correct yourself snd overcome your ego. Then advise those around you. None of us who watch Dina personally know her, our concern should be ourselves. Ive seen in many comments sisters arguing about hijab.....and Arguing with Ahadith and Ayat is haram, it could even stop you entering jannah.....
If you feel the need to correct and guide someone and youre truly sincere, why dont you make dua. Who honestly sits on their prayer mat and prays for their fellow beautiful muslimas? One dua can change a life. Your arrogant words only ruin yourself.
I truly love Dina for being so honest and sincere, she is amazing and an awesome role model and doesnt need to change one bit to please these arrogant know it alls. Allah bless her and her beautiful family and keep us all on the right xxx
Who's rewatching this video?
Me 😂
yea since it's almost ramadan, getting in the zone.
Dina I love you girl! You and Sid are the opposite of misleading... y'all are inspiring in that you guys make me feel more confident in myself as a muslim living in the west. Its def not easy. Im a hijabi living in texas so I feel you sister! And mashallah you are the most modest muslim hijab youtubers out there! Suphannallah! May Allah protect you guys and bless you. Ameen.
Why have the cats been shaved????
they look like lions
+duniya hassan LOL!!
so the fur doesn't fall off..
thats so weird tho
They don't like the hair but they like the cats so it's a winner😂😂😂
WOOOWWWW!! im a new muslima of 7wks and your rant is so close to my heart. i agree fully with what you are saying. love you, your open mind and open heart! HUGS
Question....I am a convert and i was told that if it is unsafe to wear the head covering (hijab) then it is ok to take it off and not wear it rather than put your life at risk. Is this true? I am in USA and many things have happened....not just recently but mostly since 911
Its not true :)
Alya Aal Abdulla Yes, I found out that it is true.
Its actually not true. You should not care about what people think. You're wearing it for Allah, and not for anyone else. :)
Alya Aal Abdulla sorry i don't think you understand what I am saying....but thanks anyway.
There should not be an issue taking it off if there is a safety risk we have had issues like this in Sweden and yes some women had to take it off. God will not punish you for that and people will judge and talk regardless of what you do just do what feels best for you and no one else.
I'm really glad you spoke about these negative comments. It's really good that you shared what was on your mind. I totally agree that it makes absolute NO SENSE to say : "oh, not all your hair is covered, you might as well take it off". That's like saying : your ankles are showing, might as well walk around in a shorts"; which is totally ridiculous. Must have been a relief to get all that out. Respect!
*WHAT ARE THOOOOSE!*
First of all you're amazing Dina! I love to watch your videos, they are always entertaining or educational. You are very well spoken, so keep up the good work.
I'm so tired of how people always judge each other and that goes for all religions (I'm christian myself). It's not for us to judge each other, instead we should be much more concerned about how to treat each other better. At the end of the day, I think it matter more to God how we treat our fellow people than what exact piece of clothing we're wearing.
Sid is so handsome
I agree the hijab is not just a cloth on your head but actually encompases many aspects of your life e.g the way you talk , walk and interact with others. We should all try to observe the conditions of the hijab, instead of pointing fingers at others. May Allah help us all to follow the deen wholeheatedly and join our hearts and make us not divided. AMEEN.
* wholeheartedly
Sid makes me laugh, his just a funny guy. Mashaallah great couple. May allah bless you and your family.
ameen
"am I bloody twerking? am I flipping twerking?" I LOVE YOU DINA
GET IN THERE GIRL. Dina you are a big inspiration to some people including myself. just ignore these people. your don't wear the hijab for them you wear it for Allah.
Thanks Dina! I love watching both your channels, and I always wondered why people have to continuously put you down and criticize you. You're one of the first people I watched when I started wearing the hijab and you showed me that you can be fashionable and still be modest.That rant was much needed. May Allah bless you, Sid, and the little one on the way Inshallah Ameen!
Honestly I am SO glad you're on TH-cam. Your rant as you call it, was a logical argument with highly valid points. These muslim brothers not all of but those that sit their talking about how they love everyone but the sisters are doing this wrong and that, like mate you sit their searching up hijabi TH-camrs and analyse them. Stop it honestly, no-one asked and before you go its our duty and blah blah as Dina said look at yourselves. Its halirious when they are preaching about wearing abaya only and they're wearing jeans, how hypocritical. Prophet Muhammas PBUH didn't go around pointing fingers and going this is haram, that is haram. If someone is trying their best to follow Islam then encourage them. Sure Islam places emphasis on our appearance but at the same time our deen is so much more than what others see. You don't know their relationship with Allah SWT. So stop trying to be mind readers and focus on ourselves. Only when you are perfect go analyse someone else. And no human is perfect so basically stop judging.
Anyways, love the video Dina, all the best!
Bloody hell actually enjoyed that rant at the end it was so funny man i actually laughed dw just stay happy and congrats on the baby x
"Yo whenever we go out you take yo bag whichya, you put everything in there" LOOOL DEAD AT THAT BIT.
Your wisdom shines through during that rant tbh. Best wishes for everything. :-) x
PREEEEAAAAAACH!! Every word that came out of dinas mouth is absolutely 100% true. Glad to see a strong Muslim woman doing what she wants. Honestly thinks it's just a waste of time and energy with those kind if people. Who clearly have not been raised right. ❤️ U
I stand by you 110% on this issue Dina. I love your modesty mashallah
People who leave negative hate filled comments need to take a step back and realise that they are actually going against their religion by putting people down rather than kindly voicing an opinion. Now more than ever it can be hard to stick to your faith and I honestly think you're doing a perfect job and think you dress extremely modest! It's usually the people who have issues with themselves and how they behave/dress/act that feel the need to try and dictate. Love your videos you're a great role model for all women whatever age!
