couple of min ago I was crying because I tought that I will never be qn actress . that made me so much better tnx so much
Me too, i am an indian and i love allah and Islam very much, my dream is to became a great actor but all my freinds are saying that film acting is haram and my heart was broken. I still dont know acting is halal or haram
Same she's really inspiring
Yes I have also a big dream to became a actress but I always knew that acting is haram. No one liked a career in acting and I also understand that. But now I'm happy. I will have my career.
@@saniatamanna7763 it's not haram to be an actor 😐
@@inaya738 yes I was telling that.
I like most of what she said. I think its great to be a hijabi actor who practices both modesty and entertainment. However, I didn't like the part about how Islamic roles shouldn't be given to white actors. Islam is a religion, not an ethnicity. I'm English-German-Swedish heritage and also proudly wear a hijab. I know what she was trying to say, but I think it could have been worded better :)
If she has projects in which she acted in please let me know! Cause she inspired me, talking about this is needed in our world! 🙏🏻🍃✨
I just cried i thought I would never be able to wear a hijab and act it was my dream and now i have hope to make it come true thank you so much...
Did u become?? A actor
You are so brave! I am Muslim too and I really want to be an actor in Hollywood. Thanks for this!
Don't. Leave it and find a halal career and earning. May Allah swt protect you.
@@samidica thank you 😊
@@Iamtherealvicky wow didn't notice that your comment was a year ago. ☺️
@@samidica yeah that was when I had the dream to become an actor. But not anymore
dont be a bollywood start who shows their body, watch south tamil malayalam movies, mostly they dont shows their body like bollywood
Here we have a wonderful sister branching out, being a role model pathing a way for other muslims that love acting to pursue without leaving religion behind. Its sad that a lot of our brethren limit islam to their own understanding, as if it represents allah. They fail to realise that islam gave us borders, and we are not supposed to give islam borders.
Acting is not contributing something good to neither dunya nor aqirah. Why would we encourage this?
@@khadijafulan8308 Acting is a tool we can use to do good. Im sure muslims would love to see movies/series that promotes good, islam and something our children can find halal entertainment through. The world is shifting and we need muslims to represent islam in all areas of life! Imagine if muslims didnt do youtube because 'they seen no benefit', then non of us would be able to benefit from it. If you only knew how many people have converted to islam because of the involvements of muslims in the entertainment business, you may be shocked. I personally know muslims that converted because of the influence of muslims in the entertainment world, it simply cannot be ignored
OMG sis! İ'm so totally with you! I myself do a thing that doesn't have many hijabies in it - İ windsurf. And above all İ'm Russian living in Turkey, so I get asked weird questions a lot. But İ guess none of us should give up our thing because of people who don't get it. We should educate others by actually just being who we are. Hugs!
Inshallah, we will all make it!
I want to be a model/actor but Im brown skin, muslim and we got acne
Salam Sister,
I am a converted Muslim. I want to know if changing my name to a Muslim name is a compulsion or Can i keep my old name as it is. I REALLY don't want to change my name as its a lengthy process and comes with too many difficulties back in my country. Please tell me.
MEENU D Wa’aleikum assalam warahmatullah wabarakatuhu. As far as I am aware, no you are not required to do that. I was given the qualifier that that would be necessary only if your name anti-Islam but I can’t really think of any examples of that.
BarakAllah feeki. May Allah bless you and give you strength
No it's not compulsory to change your name.... But if your name emphasize your previous faith or related some pagan god's name then you should change it...
an example like, If your name is Zeus which is a pagan god's name then you should change it....
MEENU D it depends on the meaning of your name. If your name has a bad meaning you have to change it. If it has a good meaning you can leave it.
@@lebebeve4881 ... 💯 agree 🙏
💕💕💕💕
How do you pray while acting? Or can they give you a break?
if they are respectful then they will give you time to pray
@@habibah7426 oh good because it only takes about 7-10 minutes if it is 4 rakats. Maybe that can be part of your contract if you have one
What if she just completed her makeup and she needed to make wudu to pray salah?🤔
Hi guys. I really want to be an actor but I don't how to get in to it. As obviously as a Muslim girl
Try finding Voice acting classes
@@tiredlovingsun1450 yeah but not all people wanna be voice actors, some ACTUALLY wanna do acting...
I wish you luck and hopefully people don't just use you as a token 💙
How much u sugar coat it, truth will be truth. It's clear that as Muslim we've to uphold the limits set by Allah. N if we do for His sake(give up our untrue wish/desire) then certainly there's great reward awaiting for us.
May Allah guide u and all of us!
But acting is fine in islam
@@starlite8348 no is not!
@@ayeikareviews6127 There is no problem. As long as you do not do anything haram, like the things below:
Eating haram foods
Cursing
S3xu4l actions
Pretending to be a goddess/god, or prophet (etc)
Wearing impermissible clothes
@@starlite8348really?????
It’s my dream to be an hajabi actress but I don’t wanna do anything against my religion!!
acting is not haram sis 🤍
Maidah Mohamed but like most things you have to do to act is haram :(
aisha morgen well not really , there’s some actress who was in marvel and she wore a hijab and she didn’t have a big role but she was was working with Tom Holland in spider man and she didn’t do anything haram sis ...it’s not really 🤍
Maidah Mohamed I mean yea but most roles are like haram but whatever Allahs plan is for me 😊💕
create a way if you cant find the way
Acting is allowed in islam
Is it ?
@@enaya018 acting is itself is not haram but one has to follow some rules
Can you swear in acting ?
@@ekramibrahim2850 sorry i have no idea about it 😶
@@ekramibrahim2850 may be you can 🤷♂️
Good luck to the young lady for all of her courage ... I’m a big fan of let the Quran speak , it’s so well explained especially in today’s world... However I’m disappointed at the comment about WHITE MUSLIMS ... Muslim is a religion NOT a RACE of color or Ethnicity ... Eaurope have and practice Islam for centuries.. ALBANIANS and Bosnians Montenegrins and many more Caucasians
Wait my name is Nawal and I wanna be an actor
I was thinking, am I the only hijjabi ... Who wants to be an actress?...ok... I'm not alone
Wait girls can do acting if they wear hijab?
yeah! kosar ali is a hijabi actor, the movie is called rocks
@@aqrova1465 it Won't be haram?
Can young teen boys act?
Yes
Ofcours
Oh she is self conscious of being different? But not whether she is pleasing Allah or not?
What a bunch of nonsense, just spreading fitna amongst ummah.
There are so many things to take in consideration for a Muslimah to be actress and for it to be halal. So, it has to be all women production, she has to chose specific characters that she would be allowed to portray (so most likely this would be mainly Islamic based movies-which is contradiction in itself) and so many other things.
Stop distorting our faith and adjusting it to your whims and desires
Salam. This is unfortunately setting a bad example for the youth in general. Acting can be the opposite of modesty, specially in such conditions (free mixing, makeup, showing yourself, etc) and even having to compromise your religion by willing to act certain scenes. I really don't see how acting can be relevant in Islam and we really don't need representations in films, specially when these have nothing to do with our religion. Also, Netflix is the opposite of a positive portrayal and representation of Muslims, nowadays this so-called "diversity" is all about making money out of it! Certainly the Holy Quran doesn't speak about this! Very disappointing!
She is a person of colour? And she reported her teacher for having the audacity to ask her to actually act a role? 🤦♀️
Stop playing the victim card - you are not doing Islam any favours.
wait, what? how is she playing the victim card I don't get it XD can you please explain because I literally don't understand
707 not only is she playing the poor me in a hijab victim card but she is playing the “I am one of the few people of colour in this class” what??
I think she is delusional on that last one as well - she is NOT a person of colour WTF??
she is a person of colour. She said she is so accept that. She’s not playing a victim. She’s speaking her truth and that’s all
suxexa yeah and I identify as an elf. The truth is the truth and you can say whatever you like - it won’t change the facts. Just because she comes from another country does not make her a person of colour. So do I and I would never stoop to try to gain advantage by doing this. It is very common these days to play that card. She should stop appropriating this title and leave it for those it was meant for.
Maybe she doesn't know she isn't a person of colour
Is acting bad for Muslims
no
if its for good then no
Very disappointing .. how come a Muslim woman do acting??!! And this channel supports this!!
Don't guide Muslims towards wrong path Allah give you hidaya aamin
I think as muslims we need to stay away from the music industry, movie industry, and fashion industry. They are great fitnah for us! We don’t want muslim actors/actresses, muslims singers or muslims models. We want muslim scholars/muslim sheyks & sheykhas, muslims scientists, muslim doctors, muslims wet-nursers, etc.. amiin
Khadija Fulan I agree with what u are saying but if a Muslim wants to be an actress it is no problem it’s fine to achieve your dream but do it in a good way
Its my dream tho?
aisha morgen acting is not haram sis ... if you are doing something inappropriate then yes but if you are doing nothing bad then it’s fine sis 🤍✨
@@maidahmohamed1824 THANKYOU!! I badly wanna be an actress but my dad thinks its haram what do u say
@@Sarabxssag so it really depends on what’s the film and how it will impact other Muslims or would it influence other Muslims in a bad way yk , so if the film/series is good and it’s nothing bad then your all good however if it has you kissing and doing thing inappropriate then it’s a sin
hope this helped 💝💘💋
Sister acting is not permitted in Islam
Athar jama brother acting is not permitted in islam
Feza Ahmad it depends on what they are acting out
Proof?
There’s no such thing in Islam called a Muslim female actress.
@J C THANK YOU !
There's no such thing Muslim harems...oh wait
There is a Muslim Hijabi model right now
What about Muslim male actor?
👎👎👎👎👎
Oh no how dare women do things what men can do even though the Quran has no such restrictions and puts more responsibility and morals from men before others
Oh good what's next hijabi belly dancer?? Astaghfirrullah stop making light of the deen of Allah
Stop trolling because majority of Muslims reject your ignorant twisted views
@@youtubeshadowbannedme no rather youand these kinds of ppl are ignorant regarding the the rulings of islaam as per the quran and sunnah
Acting is allowed in islam but keeping certain things in mind
🤦♀️as if ur better, nothing wrong with acting it depends what ur doing
