Ex Muslim woman here. I never wore hijab outside of the mosque but my hijabi friends frequently suffered from hair loss due to traction alopecia and friction on the scalp. Our hair isn’t meant to handle the added stress and weight of fabric and occlusion on hair follicles. Many women also use more affordable fabrics like polyester that are even worse because they do not allow for breathability. This can lead to skin and scalp conditions that cause overgrowth of yeast and other organisms due to poor moisture wicking leading to rashes and increased body odor. Traction alopecia can become permanent if it’s chronic! One of my Muslim friends took off her hijab AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF HER DERMATOLOGIST for this reason and now her hair is healthier and luckily mostly grew back and hair line restored. If hijab was truly from Allah/god wouldn’t he have protected Muslim women from these consequences ?? 🤔
I always thought about this as a guy even wearing durags can cause Alopecia now wearing hijab most of the time everyday why don’t women just go bald in Islam while wearing hijab?
@@WhoWellOkbecause wearing scarf doesn't coz alopecia.simply

Afghani here. I ask myself, if god made an earth and he is able to decide where it is gonna be cold and where it is hot, why he didnt think about muslim women, who are exposed to superhot temparture, why he started exactly over there Islam? I thought he loved women?
I mean if it would be a colder region in the middle east, it would be a total different discussion, because everybody is covered anyway. Somehow it feels like either he didnt think about this, which is superstrange for a god or he doesnt care, that for women this is a burden.
@@sinocam still i love my hijab dress ,i live in oman .i am Russian, and I have been muslim for 20years
Thank you for discussing this. The burden of 'modesty' seems to be unfairly placed on women when we are statistically more likely to not be able to afford it. Why does religion burden women instead calling out predatory men??? Oh wait, I know why...
Going from pleasing men to .... pleasing other men and an imaginary super man. Why not just wear what you're comfortable with yourself?
That would make too much sense.
So true 👍
A lot of muslim women are comfortable with the clothes they wear but that doesn't suit your agenda I guess so why bother listening to them women- The irony of ignoring women while promoting the so called freedoms of women?
It is very dangerous to mock things you don't understand. And it says much about you as a person. God is very real to me, because he answers me every day, and the He consoles me when I am sad. Of course that I will try to dress in a way He says is appropriate. My Lord Jesus is the Lord of all the Earth.
@@Ab-abovetheFirmament Why do you assume we don’t understand and haven’t put just as much research into it as you?
Oh right, because the bible tells you it’s the only truth and you don’t need to do any additional research 😅
Again, maybe you don’t understand. It’s not your place to judge, remember?
I'm not a Muslim and I like dressing modestly... But this is ridiculous 🙄 it isn't even about modesty anymore. This is just oppression.
I don't disagree with you, but I find it funny that you use the word anymore. They were treating women like cattle in the Middle East back before Muhammad's birth, and forcing them to cover up.

From an ex hijabi I can really relate to this. Every outfit needs so many things to think about if you want to still look feminine and trendy yet modest at the same time. It’s so much easier, quicker and cheaper to get dressed now. Also I don’t miss the horrible head pain I would get from having my hair tied back in a bun for hours and hours with a scarf on top pulling it all down. It was truly horrible
Why are you tying your bun so strong that you get head pains to begin with? 😅 I think in your case it’s self inflicted. A lot of women prefer to wear a low ponytail instead of a high ponytail. Maybe that’s the reason.
@@magdalenas.4that’s the way she was probably taught…also it feels like you are victim blaming… show some empathy…also a bun is easier because not everyone wants hair touching their neck because of heat or sensory issues.. you are so judgmental for no reason…
@@magdalenas.4 how would you wear a pony tail while wearing hijab?, hair would show from behind. Having hair tied up (not tight) still gets painful after a few hours .
@@itzTeTe victim blaming? 😂 Relax we’re talking about hair here! Don’t be silly.
@@Roxan926 Low ponytail.
Hidjab is a business, the never endin feasts of ramadan are a business, the trip to Meqqa is a BIG business...
If you read Chaucer's Canterbury Tales you'll see how pilgrimages is big business even then. That's from a Christian perspective so I think the hajj is the same thing, it's big business.
I love how religion businesses is being revealed. It’s so funny to watch
Ex muslimah and niqabi. Towards my leaving Salafiyyah i was getting upset with the prospect of needing to wear socks in salat. I couldn't comprehend any longer why would Allah put us women through this hardship. What if my garments aren't long enough, what if I don't have socks at the moment. I remember times where I covered my feet with random clothing in hopes that my Salat was accepted. And guess what, I believed all the suffering I went through in trying to cover correctly was Allah loving me. It's no longer a love I desire
Alla is false god created by false profet Momed to fulfill all his lustful wishes and looting
It's funny how you should do salah in certain ways and if even a wrong positioning of your hand would make your salah unacceptable to Allah. As a Christian what's more important is how sincere the prayer is. I don't think God is that petty to reject a prayer just because you made an improper sujud.
@@Milliardo5
That's not quite how that works with regards to the hand position.
My only question is why would you have worn clothes that were not acceptable for salah?
Following Salafiyyah RA- you don't NEED socks, you just need to ensure your feet are covered.
And if you were of the Salafiyyah RA, then all your clothes would have followed the hadith on extending the length of the womens' garment to drag a bit on the ground, thus being long enough to cover your feet.
And at home you could have just owned a prayer jilbab.
You made things harder for yourself, it seems.
The conditions are not even difficult. They are pretty simple.
Allah didn't give up on you- you gave up on yourself.

Ex Muslim here... i just spoke yesterday with my friend whos living with me about islam and he is shia and i was sunni. We started to talk about Mohammed... and the hadiths and quran... and we talked about a lot of things and he questioned islam too.. (i havent outed myself clearly yet) and he was like... why does it say this and that... then we talked about Mohammed how he had the strength of 30 man... then i asked him does this sound like a Prophet to you? That has the strength of 30 man? Or does it sound like a sex maniac? Then he asked me "how many wifes did he had?" I said 11... as i know he was like no no he cant only 4 it must be in numbers! I said no i even know more then 4 by name... then he asked "how is this possible? Does the rules of Allah not apply to him? I said maybe cause hes a Prophet... anf he daid so what? Isnt he human like all of us? Why may he marry 11 wives and other muslims just 4? He then said somethings not right in this religion.... probably were going to be Kuffar... theb i told him oh hunny i dont believe in this fairytale anymore... seems like he lost faith too 😅
You’re doing a noble service to humanity by freeing Muslims from this oppressive ideology known as Islam.

I think we are able to find out what is right and what is wrong.
It is not always easy and we make mistakes. But in the end we learn from them.
You and your friend gained rational thinking. Good luck on the rest of your journey.
Thanks for this. It is well known that women pay the "pink tax" on most things that can be gendered, but I have never considered the "halal pink tax" forced on muslim women wanting to go to "paradise". Yet another way to keep women financially dependent on men.
So true 👍 Since women supposedly commit a double sin each time a man sees them not 100% perfectly covered up. So you better marry early a well-off man so you can head for paradise 🫣
There is no pink tax *pinches bridge of nose in exasperation*.
I'm a woman and I can tell you with absolute 100% certainty that you don't *have* to pay more if you don't want to. I buy off-brand, generic products, I even often share with my husband (e.g. body wash, deodorant, razor brand).
If some women *choose* to buy more expensive products, then what is being taxed is their *choice*.
The only items where I'd say that most women are being a captive audience that's being milked is when it comes to female hygiene products. They are ridiculously expensive for what they are (...cotton wads and small "depends"), but since we pretty much have to buy them, they can take us for whatever sum they want.
@@p.s.shnabel3409 Waste of time spent on layering or covering up. The time is better used for other things.
I always say this religion is about Arab Business.
Halal meat, Hijab, Hajj, Umrah and they now having they own stock trading etc
Islam motto is now
About Arab Business
No
Good point!!
Facts - people from all over the world need to buy Arab certified clothing like hijab and men's prayer clothes Arab certified meat, other halal food, prayer rugs, prayer beads, go on expensive trips TO Arabia to fulfill a religious obligation,
This is so… redundant
Saudi Arabia earned a lot from haj in Mecca. The pilgrims spent in airfares, accommodation, food, etc.
Islam takes everything to the extreme. Dress Modestly yes, but extreme modesty causes as much problems as extreme nudity
It's hypocrisy as its best. Wearing a hijab with heavy makeup and strong perfume.
Hijab might still be reasonable but certainly niqab and burqah are taking to the extreme already...
@@Milliardo5 As a non muslim, i'd prefer niqab/burqa. Let these convert women wear them😂
Exactly!! I'm not a Muslim and I like modest clothes... But this isn't just about modesty, it is oppression. Especially niqabs and burkas. That's insane.
Good point 🙂
I know the feeling, I’m an ex Muslim woman. Whilst I didn’t go out of my way to buy more modest clothes, the layering was costly 😅

and about the Hijab, Indonesia being the biggest Muslim country, the hijab wearing was reasonably rare 30 or 40 years ago but I note that it is becoming the norm as the country becomes more fundamentalist. But many young women still wear tight clothes where you can see every dimple and freckle while they are wearing the hijab. This puts paid to the theory that they are wearing it for modesty and tells me that they are wearing it because of social pressure. Anecdotal evidence is telling me that it is very hard to secure a job there if you do not wear the hijab.
There is so hot how can you trust with work with so much hotness adding on head? Unless office jobs with air condition
I believe if you are dark skinned and move to a cold climate like Canada
or Great Britain your skin does not absorb as much sunshine (Vitamin K I think) as you need and wearing clothing that covers you so much further exacerbates the problem and you have some women now suffering from vitamin deficiency diseases like rickets.
Vitamin D is what prevents rickets. You receive Vitamin D from being exposed to sunlight.
Every body has vit D deficiency.not only muslims
Vitamin D
You are 100 percent correct and they dont even need to live in a cold country, this happens in Australia even.
Yes. Dark skinned people have higher rates of vitamin D deficiency than light skinned people in the United States, especially the northern states

Very expensive to dress as an orthodox Jewish woman as well. From the wigs to the skirts and outfits that have to be 100% or whatever material so that fabrics don’t mix etc. Ay!
It's easier for an Orthodox/Hasidic Jewish woman to find acceptable clothing - low neckline, a Silk scarf is a quick fashionable fix.
I think the two fabrics that can’t be mixed are linen and wool.
Why do you have to wear wigs?
@@thinkie12 It’s because a married Orthodox Jewish woman is expected to keep her hair covered in public. Wigs are an alternative to wearing headscarves.

I have been watching you for past one month, I am free from Islam. I did hijab for 6 months that had destroyed my mental health and also have me some skin issues under the hairline. I hated it and I regretted my decision for reverting to Islam. Now i don’t believe in anything but I am more of atheist Hindu.😊

Hahahaha. Don't trust any religion blindly. Raise questions as god/power/super robot has give us a brain to use unlike in Islam where women were forced or some fanatics say proudly say that is their choice.
Thats all just so degrading, even self degrading not just degrading in the other ways- the book & the men & its beyond modesty you dont have to wear all that to be dressed modestly. None of it is flattering at all in any type of way
I am a traditional Catholic. Modesty is important in our circles, but by modesty we mean decency, basically not wearing things that draw too much attention to yourself. There is not really an officially rule, but typically that means covering up shoulders, chest, wearing dresses past the knee. We cover our head in church as it is mentionned in the Bible, but you can cover it in different ways, scarf, hat or whatever. It’s mostly for the symbol. These rules are very easy to live by and are not a burden. They allow for different styles to express themselves, and only extremely rarely you’ll see people policing each other about it.
For me, the Muslim version of modesty seems to be more about erasing the woman as a whole and burdening her. Every time I stumble across a post with a hijabi girl on social media under it are endless debates about whether or not her hijab is correct. Woman’s dress seems like an obsession in Islam, it’s very creepy and I don’t see how this helps promotes growth in virtue and holiness.
Yep exactly. It's over the top
Simple word unfortunately males 😒
All this because of one guys insecurities...
So much of Islam is this...
It's basically a portable bathroom tent they have to walk around in.
Yeah, I remember the hadith. It's all because of Umar saw Saodah doing business in the desert.
Also is it just me or does at least Arab culture seem rather materialistic especially for women? Maybe its just cuz i see pictures or videos of people in Saudi or Dubai & they just show wealthy people but it seems like showing off fancy handbags, jewelry etc. Bored birds in gilded cages.
It’s not just you. It’s all about the bling
Isn't that the opposite of modesty
There are probably a bunch of Muslim women who would say just learn to sew or buy cheaper accessories.
I can’t imagine having to wrap myself in plastic polyester around my damn face I’m itching just thinking about it.
Part of the reason it’s probably expensive is because you want natural fiber soft fabrics on or around your face so you don’t break out in a rash
Fabric is pretty expensive as it is a novelty in many places. It's cheaper where I live to buy clothes. Nice fabrics are even more expensive. I heard around the US Civil War that women would spend two months of their husband's salary just on materials for those outfits with the large skirts and crinoline. They were also a fire and dragging hazard. I think they stopped when they learned more about contagious diseases. No one wanted to be around women whose clothes drug on the dirty floor and weren't washed regularly.
Also, You need LOTS of fabric for wide clothes like that. Cotton gets smelly pretty fast, and linen or silk is pretty expensive.
I found out when I was doing medieval reenactment.
Yeah, but think about how much your scalp might sweat and, obviously, you need to wash all of those layers and the hijab more often. Polyester is wrinkle-resistant (which is a big selling point), so that means you don't have the additional time to waste in ironing cotton or linen fabrics. It all adds up into extra labour and expenses.
I'm an amateur seamstress and these clothes are more expensive simply because there's so much more fanbric in it! If you want natural fabric, costs go over the roof. Also, if you are stretchy fabric like cotton jersey, you need serger and so much more thread! It's crazilly expensive.
It was the same thing for me, when I was mormon. Temple garments are expensive!!!
Also, i work in a warehouse and it’s hot. I work with a LOT of Muslims. I can only imagine how sweaty and stanky it is in those clothes 😢
I am a Japanese and I am also afraid because the hijabis are spreading here in Japan.

For any girl who is not wearing a hijab but does want a modest option for tops... consider mens t-shirts. They are not clingy or see-through, have high necklines, and come in a huge variety of colors. And they're much cheaper than women's tees.
I like to buy tops that are a couple sizes too big, in the right shapes it looks really nice and flowy. People are often like “I like your dress” and I reply “thanks, it’s actually an extra large top”. I need to have my bum covered to feel comfortable, I don’t like tops that stop at the waist/hips.
I often buy mens clothes
Plus ugly as h*ll for women to wear
Another very crucial point to make is the difficulty of how much more volume of luggage you have to carry around while traveling as a hijabi when your average piece of clothing is made up of as much as 5x the fabric!
And don’t get me started on how much space one single southeast-Asian-type of suit takes!

Didn't know those items cost so much as they make the women look backward and poor.
Thank you for making this content
I’ve had a similar discussion with a Muslim colleague of mine. Mostly sha wears mainstream modest clothing: wide leg pants, a loose shirt/top worn over the pants, and her hijab over that worn in such a way that it covers her shoulders, neck and head. I always saw her wearing the same hijab. She cited cost. Both her and her husband have university degrees, have fulltime jobs. But they have three kids and do everything to pay off the loan on their home as fast as possible. Most clothing specifically geared to Muslim ladies is EXPENSIVE.
I went to check because for her birthday, I wanted to get her a full hijab kit in her favourite colour… and I gulped. So instead I took to my sewing machine and my knitting needles. I made her a silk blend hijab for Summer and knitted her a soft, lightweight scarf for inside wearing throughout the year. She can drape it in such a way her neck is covered without having to use a full size hijab when it’s impractical.
My colleague is young and deserves to feel as pretty as anyone, especially because she’s such a beautiful soul. It felt unfair to me that she would need to feel frumpy for the sake of frugality and financial sense.
❤ You are so sweet!
That’s so sweet of you.
What a wonderful idea and gift. You should start a business
@@Laydeejay800 - That’s a kind thought. Unfortunately, even if I were to charge half of minimum wage for the time it took me to make these gifts and throw in the raw materials at cost, they would become very expensive. So I prefer to keep it at gifts. Either to individual ladies, or to charities. Ten years ago I became a single mother and learned the value of donated time and of unexpected gifts. Now it’s my turn to give back.
👏🙂
Very interesting. I didn't realize how expensive burkha and loose clothing could get for women
It is very hard to find modest, attractive clothes. I'm not Muslim but still dress conservatively by modern US standards.
I was size 0 when in my 20s and 30s. Affordable women's clothing didn't get that small. Teen jeans did but they all had rips, holes, were low rise, or had other issues. Children's pants would fit best around my bottom but were too short. Fortunately, I've now gained enough weight for this to not be a problem. One still cannot find a dress that isn't low in the front, has a back, has sleeves at least to the elbows, and is kneee length.
If it's difficult for me, I can only imagine how hard it is for Muslim women and others who are required to dress even more modestly.
Om my god , that’s me !
LEARN TO SEW! Make your own clothing. Stop bitching about not being able to find 'modest' clothing - YOU ARE NOT IN A BOXCAR HEADED TOWARD A ZYCLON-B SHOWER!
Depend on which countries you live. It is very easy in Asia countries to find dress that isn't low cut.
.. in my country those high end hijabs which are endorsed by local celebrities can cost the average month's salary
.. I can get me a decent electric guitar or a tube amp or a scooter with that kind of money
The only real profit Islam has.

Yes, it is a new trend based on radicalism.

And the women also have to dress up under the hijabs and abayas - for their husbands an women friends who are allowed to see them.

Hmm...when I was younger( from teens through thirties), dressing modestly for girls and women used to mean changing into clothing that is more appropriate(i.e., wearing pants and a sweater, or a dress that was at least two inches below the knees) for receiving visitors/guests, during the school week, and/or going out to lunch.
What happened to just being a lazy Muslim and wearing a loose scarf over your head. It’s such an over the top cultivated fashion. Like they wear padding on their buns to give the hijab the right shape. You don’t need to do any of those things. Just drape a scarf loosely over your head. It’s easy and traditional and affordable.
I'm guessing that's what Muslim women were doing throughout history until these last few years when they have become fanatic on steroids and want to make sure that not one strand of hair is visible lol
Yes. And we're not supposed to be so consumed with what people say is fashion or what you should look like. Magnets aren't necessary either. Muslims can get caught up in consumerism just like anyone else. THAT is part of the overall issue.
I'm a tall woman and at the time I wore hijab and abaya, so actually mostly jilbab.and the abayas were always far too short for my long legs, if I wanted to buy a long abaya it was very expensive.I also wanted a burkini swimming suit, I found one on the internet on a Tunisian site, it was very wide and would have covered everything, but it would cost €80cost.
i didn't buy it. Niqab gloves are so small and thin and cost €15-20. It's all very expensive.niqab a tiny piece of fabric 25-40€ ... I mostly bought everything used online. and btw the quality is poooor many things new or used was pooor quality
Do you have to wear gloves when going out? The amount of things you have to wear will tire me out.
I agree with you. I am a Catholic woman and likes to dress modestly but Islamic modesty is a whole other extreme and it is very expensive. I feel blessed I have plenty of money to buy clothes but clothes especially more modest clothes can be expensive. I just wear high necked shirts and skirts or capris below my knees. But I can still feel perfectly comfortable in the summer and at my job using these modest guidelines. Plus I have so many more options since my neck, arms, and head do not need to be covered. I wear prayer veils to mass but I just take them off when I leave church. I couldn’t imagine wearing something on my head all the time. I remember I bought a thin sun jacket to help me not get sunburned and it came with a hood. I tried wearing the hood but got super hot so switched to a sun visor so my head didn’t heat up so much….And the amount of clothes and sets to mix and match to be that modest would cost a lot especially for different seasons. I know even my moderate modest outfits cost a lot for me to assemble and I don’t even need a head scarf or anything.
True. I do struggle to find a modest dress-skirt to wear to church, because they are expensive, but I do not have to wear them every day.
It's called learn to sew - there are many easy skirt patterns, and a scarf is a quick fashionable fix for a low neckline, Straw sun hats work great at a church service - invest in a basic Black Felt hat for autumn & winter services.
@@glindathegood4007 Yeah right…….I tried sewing it was a disaster lol. And sewed clothes never look like the store bought ones. I need professional clothes for work. When I lived in Asia I had tailors but now I moved back to the US they charge a lot for just one change. I cannot sew at the level of expertise I need.
@@princessraj5921 Take a Sewing Class - practice makes projects perfect - Just start with simple clothing items and work your skills to the Tailoring level - So stop being a Negative Nelly!
@@glindathegood4007 yeah will get right on that lol. 😂. But luckily as I said in the post I have money I can afford lots of clothes I was sympathizing though with women who may be short on money and can’t sew but still want to be modest Islamic clothes cost a lot here in the US.
Growing up Christian, my mom always told me how bad she felt for those poor Muslim women whose husbands force them to cover up. She always said they needed and deserved to feel beautiful.
They want sharia way they got sharia
Only hala😢HALAL burqa works (SHAITAN)
I am so happy I was raised alongside Christianity, not perfect but it protected me from so many things. God doesn't want women to cover up excessively in this way, I'm sure of it.
Honestly, as a girl who changed my whole wardrobe twice to 3 times to change my style, collecting fashion pieces are expensive but when my mum starting to get more religious I was surprised she spent about $50 on abaya. Mind you the average price of a decent piece of clothing is about $10-$15 in my country. Abayas are so expensive despite being very simple to make (Im a seamstress so ik its low effort piece just maybe the fabric it needs to make like 2-3 times more than normal piece)
Sorry for sounding Ignorant...but what's a Abaya?
@@MilkySmooth-uy9dv muslim women modest clothing, its a very long loose dress. called abaya
Fast fashion is cheap. And there are reasons why.
It is money making business.
Finally someone talks about it 👍 I never cared much about my exterior so I was lured into Islam by the promise to never have to think about my clothes again.
But it’s a lie: Make-up, nice clothes underneath and a nice probably expensive hairstyle is mostly still a part of a hijabi‘s life …
You also need to care about your looks when covered up: You still need to find a man in hijab 🫣
At least the husband will buy the lingerie 😅
So far my main problem had been that I didn’t even get most of the important items.
With the current fashion maybe I wouldn’t even have been interested in islam since longer skirts and looser shirts are nowadays ok to wear (back then I got bullied for not clothing sexy enough as an 11 year old 🙄).
I got more than enough scarves (I still have an impressive collection 😂) but floor-length skirts in the West? I didn’t have the money nor the possibility to go to a Middle-Eastern country …
I was always told the same: In the Middle East it’s cheap - well, didn’t help me 🙄
At least it saved me from a public coming out as a hijabi as well as a Muslim 🫣
Would have looked strange: Long sleeves, tight leggings, way too short shirt but proper headscarf 😂
It depends very highly on the Muslim circles you enter/marry into whether they expect you to have a lot of nice halal clothing options. But in my experience most Muslim circles value status symbols, nice clothes, expensive hair styles and jewelry…
That’s what I meant as it’s still mostly a part of a hijabi‘s life. You can’t completely escape the culture that Muhammad and his companions have set up by bragging and living in luxury…
Do you know that this abominable rule was made by the evil Caliph Umar?? God of Bible looks at our hearts
Poor girls who have to live with this
Better to not believe in God, it's cheaper.
He has bills you must pay for them 😢
Belief is free…it’s man trying to make money
it's not, if you are a Christian. Atheists spend much money on material things that they don't need. Just visit women's spaces regarding fashion, skin care and plastic surgery. And Islam is an incredibly superficial religion. My impression is that other religions aren't, because Muslims where the only ones who complained about France's new law regarding religious items in school.
And smarter baby smarter 😉
Not god but Allah. If you believe in God u dont have to spend money on curtains
The truth is:
You cannot impress God by how you dress!
God is not impressed by how you dress..
Every human being is born naked and we all return naked!
No baby ever come dressed up Already..
Did God forgot to dress them up?
Naked you came, naked you will return!

No traditional or religious dress code is favored by God..
We humans tri to make him love our dress code more than others!
no one can impress or influence God !
Cover yourself but don’t make your dress code universal and God’s’ choice!
God is not impressed whatsoever!

The way you dress represents a lot of things. I think modest clothes are more serious and skimpy clothes look a little frivolous however they don’t look morally wrong to me
It is a similar ordeal if you're part of a strict christian based religion. Amish, pentecostal, some catholics, some baptists, ect. So expensive. And a real hardship to just living life. I am still christian, but no longer follow man made rules, I discern for myself what is ok to wear, and use the recommendation of my husband, too. I can wear pants and leggings and sandals now. Earrings and jewelry are ok too, I can wear more colors now. I respect my church atmosphere by dressing modest enough for church, but wear whatever I want the rest of the time. If your spiritual beliefs are real, your conscience will help you.
I am a Catholic from Eastern Europe and here people don't have any code. They wear whatever want. It's a bikini for the beach but something jist decent for the church. There's no covering for head or any special modesty. As to colours, you wear exactly any you like. And I love that normality.
@@user-iq4ow3fn1twhat????try entering Russian church without headscarf I dare you 😂
This is just the misuse of the word "modest" .... a bedsheet does not equate modesty and this is just a way to put down the rest of the women. As if If I wear jeans and a shirt I am not "modest". They are going out of their way to shame women at all times
Excellent video. Thank you for bringing this to public light.
Hijab is man made rules... Not divine... My two cents...
Modest clothes without modest prices... So rule number one to be a muslim: be rich.
Or marry rich 🫣 Remember you can also be a second, third or fourth wife 😉
@@Myladyinred999 Ok, if rule number 1 is not possible, then rule number 2: be a gold digger. 😂
@@JustYetAnotherUser Definitively, the prophet himself encouraged it 😅😂
I've always been curious about this notion of wearing Hijabs, Niqabs, and burkas. I'm aware of the Umar story. However, most Muslims talk of modesty and of concealing a woman's beauty from other men besides her husband lest their hearts be filled with love and lust for her. But why doesn't Allah simply fill men's hearts with love and desire only for their intended? Does the Quran and the Hadiths not clearly state that before birth the destiny of every human is pre ordained and sealed in a scroll that cannot be altered? And in addition to this, cannot a woman's heart be filled with love and desire for men also? If so why are men not compelled to cover their heads, necks, faces? Too many contradictions.
I have wondered the same thing. As if women aren't capable of lust, but don't dare tell a man to cover up!
men need to cover up too, men just don't because it's not absolutely necessary for them.
It is the men who cannot controlled their lust. They should look down or look away if they cannot control their lust. Even if a woman is covered up from head to toe, the men will still lust after her. They will think in their minds how she looked if she is naked, or they will try to undress her in their minds. In fact, there is a rape case where a man strangle a girl with her hijab and rape her.
That doesn't make sense. No one needs to buy expensive abayas. A simple abaya and scarf costs practically nothing compared to the price of wearing a different outfit everyday. Obviously women wear what they want under it.

On the other hand- if you wear a hijab, you don’t have to worry about going to the hairdresser. No need to get stylish cuts or dye your hair.
Seriously, let women dress the way they want to: modest or sexy- let her decide!
PS Women can be frugal or go crazy buying clothes, any clothes, doesn’t matter with or without a hijab or abaja.
Yes😂let them choose themselves what somebody else chose for them.
@@truffaut650truffaut6 I started wearing my cross because I believe in Jesus. The Catholic church isn’t exactly giving women equal rights either. Do you want to forbid me wearing my cross? I‘d like to see you try.. Now, tell me- in what respect am I different from a muslim woman who truly believes in her religion? Is a cross more beautiful than a hijab? You can’t dictate what people wear.
@sandywichmann9292 I mean wear what you want. That's all. But in some cases girls are forced to wear hijab etc bc the grandmother wants it. It is not their choice but they do it so the family does not neglect them. I worked in schools in Europe. Thats what I saw.
@@truffaut650truffaut6 Oh, I‘m a teacher, too. The problem is that if the girls don’t wear the hijab, they won’t be allowed to go to school. That’s worse in my opinion.
They can wear what they want, but headcovering can cause loss of hair if worn for long term.
Why they don‘t ask their friends (umma) in Qatar, the U.A.E., Saudi Arabia, Brunei… they could help financially.
That’s the problem with Islam - charity yes, but abolishing poverty completely? Hell no
Thank you for saying this
the only reason u find a 80$ dress "expensive" is because of exploitation of labor and sl ave workers in sweatshops working for fast and ultra fast fashion brands.
Clothes are very taken for granted.
This. 100%. Learn to sew, price the materials for the item and equipment, then tell me it's only worth $15.

I am always amused by young Muslim women in the west who cover up, out of supposed "modesty", yet pile on the heavy makeup, bright lips, even false eyelashes to scream "look at me!".
My family's Pentecostal. While my family went to the less strict branch of the church, I have friends in the stricter branch. They will sometimes share links to the 'official' websites to buy Pentecostal-appropriate clothing, and the prices made my head spin. Mostly, I've seen women wearing 'normal' shirts with long sleeves underneath so you can't see their arms. Sometimes, that looks okay. But, I've also seen women do that with their wedding dresses, and it just looks odd.
I am happy for you that you are free from Qurana Virus
Yeah, I’ve been to the Somali malls here in Minneapolis, there’s a ‘non Somali price’ where they won’t lower their prices to the prices they charge my Somali friends
I always wonder, what is the difference between hair and eyebrows. One is ordered to cover, other is not. Actually both of them is same material :)
Muslim women are not allowed to shape their eyebrows.. Allah curse them for that
The hijab was a copy of what catholic nuns wear during early years,some sect of nuns still wear the same
It’s a modesty tax

this is pure utter nonsense
I feel for those girls! I am not Muslim but I like to dress modestly, especially with long dresses, as I simply feel more comfortable and enjoy the style, so I sometimes shop from Muslim clothing brands. Where I live, there is a sizable Muslim community, but the closest modest clothing shops would be at least an hour and a half away from my city and are rather pricy. Much of the problem lies in what is considered modest by American versus Muslim standards. Many Christians here dress "modestly" in knee length skirts and t-shirts. Strict Muslim modesty standards are difficult to meet shopping in regular US stores. I know I can get some modest clothing (by American standards, not Muslim standards) such as long dresses at places like Target or H&M, basic long sleeve tees for layering for cheap at Walmart, but the options are very limited. And if you get dresses with covered back, long sleeves, etc. often they will not be as long as many Muslims would prefer, or they have slits at the bottom in the back or sides. I wear black leggings or jeans under all my dresses for this reason. And they will not be as loose as abayas unless you size up at least 2 sizes, so the fit would be a disaster. In the winter, I almost always wear sweaters over every dress because it covers lower-cut necklines and no one knows the difference. For swimwear, I wear a basic rash guard and Adidas swim leggings which were $70 alone 🙄 And that is nowhere near as modest as a burkini. Most Muslim women in my area are not this strict about their dress so they wear more Western clothing or they bring clothes from their home countries. Teens and young adults tend to wear "normal" Western clothing, pants, leggings, etc. with a headscarf.

You can dress modestly without covering yourself up in a bed sheet. And at cheaper price.
All I'm hearing is there is a significant business opportunity for entrepreneurs who can figure out a way to make good quality hijabs at a reasonable price.
Yup!
Ex Muslim here: I don’t think this is a hijab issue just a high expectation issue of women having to look their best all the time
I am sure it is cheaper in majority islamic countries. But yeah, its expensive.
There’s a big difference between ‘want’ and ‘need’. Consumerism isn’t a religion problem, it’s a society problem. FYI, that ‘hijabi starter kit’ is marketing nonsense.
to be honest i don't pity them at all!!! they are the one who make's life harder for themselves, by believing in fairytale. and they don't even want to question those fairytale? so yeah!!! suck's to be them. yeah! i know!! their parents are the one who indoctrinated them into the cage. since they were little! but once they grow up? they don't even try to question the cage? or find a way to get out of it? despite how restrictive that cage is, to their everyday life. sorry but, i think that's on them. i don't pity the people who make's life harder for themselves. while keep denying the real problem. it's them. it's like a wife. who don't want to be separated, from her physically abusive husband. so again? sorry!! but that's on them.
According to the country they were born in, they don’t get the option to opt out without opting out of life.
Weird how taking off a "willinglly" worn non-essential piece of clothing gets a death sentence fir modesty being broken when a man r/ping a child or woman doesn't warrant such a punishment. Hell, he could even gain her as a wife as "punishment."
@@sianais Not in Western nations
As a Greek Orthodox Christian woman and a child of nature that God created in all wisdom I never really paid attention of my clothes yet some were more modest for church but nevera head covering. Head covering was eventually abandoned after the Greek revolution against the Ottomans. Because I always had very very long reddish blonde hair for church only I would either braid it or twist it in a low bun. I am married I have a 17 year old son everything good!
No , Orthodox Christian women covered a lot way before turks,it's literally has nothing to do with turks,in Russia you CAN NOT enter church without headscarf

I dress modestly as a Traditional (Latin Mass) Catholic woman. I do it out of love for our Lord and charity for others. It's inconsiderate to show so much flesh that you distract other people, as many women do these days (yoga pants, low cut blouses, and so on).
BUT: nobody forces us to dress modestly. And we don't judge other women who dress scandalously, although it is a sad situation.
The essence of true modesty is dressing in a way that does not call attention or distract. If I wear a pretty floral dress that falls below the knees and has 3/4 length sleeves and a crew neck, nobody is distracted. It's just a feminine look. I am not pretty, but I do dress in a feminine way. The point is to look pleasant and not to call attention by your attire.
On the other hand, these hijabs and other gear that some women wear call attention. To those of us who see the incompatibility of sharia with Christian values, it feels menacing. I have worked with women who dressed this way all the time and got to know several of them (as much as one can through work), so I am not some xenophobe who judges just by first impressions. This attire was brought back into Muslim culture when radical leadership surged in the middle east. It's a political gambit designed to advertise this belief system. It's not truly about modesty at all since modesty is possible without wearing what is basically a costume. It's about sending a signal. Don't think we westerners can see that!
It's the sartorial equivalent of broadcasting the call to prayer.
There! You revealed exactly what the reason. It's a statement to the West. Zero about modesty..
