again disclaimer: this is not meant to be an educational video, i am not a leader/expert/teacher of any sort, i am just a human being who has recently become closer to my deen. I am aware my hijab can be better, my speech can be better, my online conduct can be better, please just make dua He makes it easy for me inshAllah :)
This unscripted video of me unpacking my journey towards becoming closer to my deen, becoming a hijabi, and how this shifted my perspective on life.
Added some clips from my trips (Japan, Penang, KL, Paris) , from being at home (London) and home (Singapore), because I personally could not watch a video of someone talking to a screen for longer than 2 minutes. Also for artistic expression. (Thank god for 2x speed).
No music because its' Ramadan haha

Honestly as an atheist sometimes I wish I was religious it seems so peaceful.
You can Read Quran if you want or just search for a religion that makes you feel peaceful
Truly it is, and I hope you find peace too in a way that makes the most sense to you
It is not about that, peace is not a reason to be religious. We all know deep down God exist and coming to terms with that has nothing to do with any level of intelligence no matter who you are we only need to simply confront that and worship him.
Regardless of what your and my ego says, the greatest attribute a human can have is a worshiper of god. Aligning with our reason of existing definitely has good byproducts and one of them is peace.
sorry I wrote too much :)
100% i agree with you, being religious is much much more than peace , but if someone holds beliefs and perspective on their entire existence which do not align with ours, I think it's important to introduce it with ideas they are familiar with to encourage openness to exploring Islam. When speaking to someone with a weak aqeedah, or having none at all I try my best to be careful with my advice and speech because saying the wrong thing or misguiding them may result in an existential spiral... But I do agree with what you're saying may Allah guide and protect us all inshAllah
@@thikraforusHi! I agree with your statement it definitely is much more than peace, being religious has given me a sense of purpose in life - which is the most important mission on earth.
But if I may ask (and forgive me if I’m overstepping), if you know God exists; what’s stopping you from worshipping Him? (From any religious perspective)
I was crying from being overwhelmed from life and fearing the future because I need to meet people's expectations. This video showed up in the perfect time. Thank you for sharing this.
I’m so proud of you!!!! Please pray for me that I will get to put on the hijab soon 🥲🤲
I will Alina! inshaAllah, just try wearing it out once, buy yourself a cute hijab and you will realise most of the mental block is just you overthinking! But at your own time and pace, may Allah make it easy for you inshallah
I am not Muslim but just starting my journey of faith for the first time in 20 years. This is such a beautiful video, both in your words spoken so softly and in the videos you captured of your daily life. I found everything so wonderful. God truly makes our life simpler and calmer. I wish you all the best
Thank you for taking the time to write out such a thoughtful message, you are so kind! I am happy for you and the same to you, I wish you the best in your journey however that manifests
This video appeared in my TH-cam feed multiple times to the point where I just couldn’t not watch it. It has given me some insight into how I would like to spend the rest of my Ramadan. Thank you for this.
I honestly didn't realize there was no music haha, you're words were so captivating and beautiful Allahuma Barik, they don't even need any music
Allah sees and hears you trying, we're not meant to aim for perfection we're meant to aim to try for our bests! inshaAllah training these habits will slowly become second nature - you just gotta give yourself credit for the work you're putting in and seeing the good in it and in yourself, and giving gratitude to Allah swt for sparking that feeling in your heart that pushes you to keep on trying!! Thank you for your message , jazakhAllah khair and hope you have a fruitful lovely ramadan!
such a beautiful video, your articulation of thoughts was so so relatable!
Is your name zoya? What a beautiful name mashallah … anyways thank u sm for your words I appreciate it jazakhallah khair ❤️
I'm so glad to have stumbled upon this because I felt so low spiritually, and regarding my hijab this gave me peace like I'm seeing things from a broader perspective now
15:14 "you just have to let things be" thank you a lot for this video☺
Im in love with your channel...glad i found it...honestly these are all the things ive always thought about but had nobody to talk to about this or have it hear from anybody else...JazakAllah for vocalising my heart. ❤❤❤
omg i came from the 'you gotta detach from your old self (& this dunya) and thought it was amazing enough until i saw this vid. this is so relatable and relieving to hear. as someone who's a control freak who wanted the answer to every doubt i had, even got angry with God at one point about the unfairness in life, viewed things in life so nihillistically, i realised how ridiculous i acted for someone who has faith to turn back to.
i'm still in the process of learning to let things go of the dunya like you said in the detach video specifically especially in terms of relationships and just surrender everything to Allah, knowing that if there's any being in the universe that will never disappoint me, it's Him. been reconnecting with islam again this ramadan on the deepest level i've ever experienced and i think for someone with a low self-esteem, this was the best form of self-love i could give to myself. seeking validation from Allah, as you said, is the goal.
thank you for this video and best of luck to you on your journey! 💐
I'm so proud of you and I hope that you are too of yourself!!! mashAllah
@@waysabi thank u sm for your kind words!! i'll keep them in mind 🥺
I'm struggling with my faith, my life and my emotions at this moment. I never saw your channel before, but Alhamdulillah your video come on the right time
Alhamdullilah! Allah sees and hears your struggles, inshaAllah I hope at your own time and pace - you find it within yourself to find peace again
I'm crying this is a beautiful. Resonated so much and eye-opening.
habibti
Alhamdulillah that I found your channel!!!
Video Idea: can you please give us some reading or watching/listening recommendations that you resonate with -- about the Quran, 99 names of Allah, and Islam in general.
InshAllah, I want to strengthen my aqeedah, and my deen.
As a female, finding a female perspective on TH-cam is refreshing.
Hope to see you regularly from now on😊❤
Ramadan Mubarak❤
Beautiful 🤍 Allahumma baarik Jazak Allahu Khayran
Hi Iffah, thank you for sharing this and being vulnerable to us. Sometimes we find something that we needed the most while we are busy chasing something that we thought we wanted, and it is such a privilege to know the difference, mA. :)
Jazakallah...i really need it right now..😢
Thank you for sharing😢❤
jazakillah khair for sharing this, so relate to my mental & imaan condition now 😭🙏
i’m also so proud of your growth despite only knowing you through a screen! ❤
Thank you for making this video
Love you sister. May Allah bless you ❤❤
i love you and this video, thank you so much for sharing
and me, i love you 💌
Thank you so much for this. I recently have been tested consecutively by AllahSWT which has made me turn to Him a lot more. I really appreciate the perspective you gave about life. I hope this is a video I can return to in a few years time to check on my past self and see if I changed for the better InshaAllah. JazakAllah khair, may He reward you for this video and I hope you have a great Eid soon to come
Assalam o alikum ..i can not express how i am feeling right now...mostly because i could never expresss py thoughts in words ..i could never tell others about how and what i think and feel ..not even to myself ..i watched all of your videos and you just seem to be my inner voice but a more eloquent one..the first video i saw of yours was about detachment ..and i had been struggling from past 4 years because i was extremely extremely attached with my school ,,with my class teacher ,with my class room with that playground,that canteen and those friends ..since i left the school and went to college i could not be what I was and because no ither person seemed to go through that i thought may be i am too much dramatic ..but seeing your video healed me in so many ways that u cnt fathom..i have been wasting this Ramadan .. More precisely i would say ..last 6 months have been hell of tough and psychologically disturbng ..life people things dreams ..just seemed to be meaningless and i always always felt bad for eating good ..sleeping comfortably having friends and a good house ..i just felt ..and still feel that i am going to be in jahanum because i am not even at that level of faith where i do something to help. Palestinians ..and then i watch your video on this ramadan is just not the same as the last ..and i felt like crying to know that there was someone else who felt affected spuritually by what is happening..your words kind of heal ..they heal those parts of me which i did not think that were hurt..your voice just calms me ...please continue to make these videos and share more of your thoughts ...also ..i am right now in immense dismay because i have not still made it to the university ..because i dont have any goal ..all my frie'ds and juniors are in their 2nd semesters or 1st semester ..and i am here in my house still thinking to retake my intermediate exams for the 3rd time to get good marks ..someone might think i am such a dumb student ..but i was a brilliant student in school ...my parents and my relatives thought i will be a doctor because i am so good in studies ..and here i am now struggling to decide that if i should study further ir not ..when i see girls like you and generally ither young people out there ..doing great things ..achieving academic success ..making living at such young age ,visiting new countries .. I woe on myself for being a fat,dumb ,lazy and failure girl plus a disobedient daughter ..i feel like .....i am younger than my age ..should have been more matured i am 20 now . ...i never thought i would be such a ..useless thing in my 20 .i dont know why i wrote all this .....may be bcz i felt you as my inner soul and not some malay girl sitting in london far away from me...
i love this so much ❤ thank you
Thank you!! 🥺💌

I never normally comment but im watching this after sehri and I wanted to say your videos have given me so much peace this Ramadan - jzk sister from the bottom of my heart, may Allah accept all of your dua’s and keep you smiling 🥹😊 also I feel like I’m being wrapped in a fuzzy blanket when watching your videos, your vibe is unreal ✌🏼 ☺️
mashAllah!! thank you for such a lovely comment it made me feel like im being wrapped in a fuzzy blanket 🛌
@@waysabi aw my pleasure!! 🤭
give us a hijab tutorial please sis, love this drape on u. it is so pretty it is making me want to start wearing it too
my hijab can be sm better , i'm so happy that it's making you want to start wearing it too but just note that this style doesn't offer the best coverage and I acknowledge that... may Allah make it easy for us to let go of the dunya and appearance
Ameen, we've all gotta start somewhere, it reminds me of Bahja Abdi's style of hijab, its so pretty@@waysabi
This is exactly how I’m feeling right now constantly reminding myself the real purpose of life & life can be lonely without proper company along the way but Allah knows how you’re sacrificing & being steadfast. Alhamdulillah it feels great someone out there have the same thoughts !!! ❤ May Allah bless you & strengthen your eman !!!
Amin!!! Thank you for such a kind comment tasneem!!
Mashallah, it feels so comforting to know that there are people like u out there that view the world in this beautiful way, thank you and May Allah increase in u all happiness, tranquility, knowlegde and peace
love
this made me tear up. may Allah grant us ease and strength in navigating this dunya 💗
inshaAllah
Thanks for the information in the brackets of your video title…I would have thought otherwise if you hadn’t said that
No worries, glad to help 👍👍👍
subhanAllah you are so calming, I'm going to cry - I hope we can see each other again and I can get to know you more...
ridaaa girl make dua , or u can come to singapore idk... BOOK THE FLIGHT
Its not easy to decide to wear hijab. Because naturally in this dunya wanna show the best part of the body. But when have faith and follow the God rules. It bring more safety and identity as moeslem more over God is on top everything. The more exposed beauty outside, its just satisfying others and validation of others. The more we love trully submitting to God. The more we greedy the blessing of God. No worldly life. Its just simple way of life in Islam.
Please continue to do these types of videos ❤❤❤
inshaAllah!! dm me what types of topics you'd like me to talk about next
Allah bless, guide and protect all our reverts. Ameen,
im not a revert, but yes! may allah bless, guide and protect them inshallah
@@waysabi oops. My bad.🤦♂ Anyway, great to hear from a fellow born muslim, Allah bless you. May Allah give us the strength to help more and more reverts come to the truth and stay firm on the truth. Ameen.
Ur editing style makes me smile
U are alike nissa sabyan
Having such a hard time even the guilt of witnessing Palestinian gen0cide aside 💔💔💔
Have been facing failure after failure and it's very hard but even with all my sins Allah keeps me grounded and sane and greatful but Wallahi sometimes I feel so angry at myself 💔💔
Allah hears and sees you crying, redirect that anger and reframe the circumstances towards the lessons you can learn and what things you can configure and change to become better. I'll make dua He makes it easy for you!
❤ May { Allaah🌷🩷} make it extremely easy for you and allow you to feel the Beauty, Love and peace that come with Islaam and keep you steadfast A'aafiyyah Ameen thummah Ameen Yaa Rabbal A'lameen 💕🌷🩷. { JazaakAllah Hu khayran} for sharing this with us it really just make one think and we all need Reminders .
I can listen to you speak all day … everything you have said so far is so relatable and it is comforting to know that I’m not going through what ever I’m going through alone 🤍🤍🥹
sending so much loveeee
