#ItIsNotAChoice #FreeFromHijab
its even more frustrating when people make fun out of girls who remove their hijabs when away from their parents and then also preach about hijab is a choice???? make it make sense
Hi, as a queer girl, who has iranian heritage, I'm really grateful you made this video.
Many people would call you islamophobic just for critizising it a tiny bit, so that's a bold move you made. It's such a relieve seeing people put a light on these issues. Any form of opression is wrong and it's against human rights, wheather it's from "western culture" or anything else!
As an ex-muslim man. I am so proud and glad to see more girls leave and trying to stand up to this. Please don't give up.
Ace H wow even you let Shaytan get to you
@@n43un4z4 brainwashed at the finest. You guys dont even use your own brains and questioning this barbaric ideology, everytime it's the iblis that whisper in your head
FLOXZ™ barbaric ideology?Gtfo😂😂😂
The Chosen One Ok boomer
@@n43un4z4 proven once again that you are indeed a child.
I’ve lived in the UK my whole life and was forced and threatened to wear it when I was 16, wore it for thirteen years and the hatred I had was growing. Only plucked up the courage to remove it last year and my mum is trying to force me to wear it again as an adult. I felt extremely oppressed the whole time I was wearing it and the thought of being forced to wear it again is making me depressed.
I am so sorry you had to through this..it’s really unfair to put pressure on children to do this, because they often probably do it out of just wanting to please their parents and not be cut off from their love. Well done for standing your ground and making you own decision, it’s your life, you have every right to
Why do you hate wearing it?
Is it because you want men to stare at you and treat you like trash?
I'm a guy and I know men respect women who wear the hijab and lust after women who don't . Trust me.
@@AliAhmed-nu5hx that's sick because you're promoting rape culture
@@AliAhmed-nu5hxit’s oppression to wear a hijab. I would never wear one I’m not a mans slave or object I’m a person
@@AliAhmed-nu5hxmen who lust are sex addicts who have no self control
I started wearing the hijab when I started school at 5 years old. Just as the 2nd womans email stated my parents made it seem like i was special. When my family moved states the new school I went to was kinda likena culture shock, my previous school had a lot of hijabs and diff cultures so at this new school me and my sisters were the only hijabs this made us stick out to bullies so during elementary school and the start of middle school I've gotten bullied for wearing the hijab. In the 7th grade I started to discover myself. Discovering feminism saved me tbh bc that was the light that guide me out of the darkness and oppression. I started questioning Islam and I didnt want to be muslim anymore bc it was forced upon me and now that I've learned to think for myself, when I graduate high school I'm gonna move away and live a life that's free from the oppression of religion. Personally I believe in Science, morals, and being a decent person. The possible existence of a God is neither important or unimportant to me, I feel very neutral about that subject.
Sorry this didnt make much sense I'm just ranting at this point lol
Rants are good for freedom of expression, exercise it as often as you want to. The bullies were wrong to go after you for wearing cloth on your head but the people who make you feel you must wear this quirky fashion accessory should take a long walk off a short pier...
@BL Only thank you so much! your very kind. i wish you well!!
What is oppression in your eyes? Because if I read your story it is like me saying western culture did not respect your clothing, so you got oppressed to fit in their culture. Can you like explain what made you leave the religion, it just feels to me like the new enviroment made you feel lonely. Is there any other reason for you besides this which made you leave the religion?
It made a lot of sense. And you're right, it's not that important about whether God exists or not. (Even if he did, you'd expect him to be a God of love and fairness) so better to follow the humane values of love, fairness, equality, empathy, kindness, human rights, freedom of thought, avoiding cruelty and subjugation and barbaric oppression. That's going to be closer to a God of love if he exists anyway
@S̷A̷R̷S̷-̷C̷o̷V̷-̷2̷ because they're brainwashed from birth to believe that they'll be bullied a lot more by God - and for eternity - if they don't wear it. So it's the lesser of two toements
Powerful and concise. Fantastic work. The testimonials really tell the story of so many women’s lives.
Why don’t you do a video about women being half naked aswell and how demeaning it is.
@@ish1249 Being half naked is not pushed by religion. While for many it is demeaning, for many it is empowering. Empowerment lies in choice.
@@ish1249 is being half naked mandated by religion or are they doing it because they want to?
sheik taj aldin al-hilali, a senior muslim cleric in Australia, compared women who do not wear a
headscarf to "uncovered meat", implying that they invited sexual assault. That’s exactly the essence
of islamic body covering, which the West tries to normalize.
even someone i know said that they are inclined to rape women who don't wear a hijab and have less respect for women who don't wear the hijab. the respect i have for that person went down hill from there.
Orgasm Donor the more I think about it the more fucked up it is
Well one person doesnt speak for everyone
According to islam what he said was wrong as men and women are clearly mentioned as equals in many cases.
And according to islam woman are encouraged and should dress modestly,
That sheik is wrong, you obviously have a choice of what you choose to wear, but it is also said in the Quran if a man tries to rape a woman she is permitted to kill him as self defense, men and women both have choices to do wrong,and right and if a man decided to rape a woman no matter what she was wearing is a HUGE sin on him, and the woman is allowed to kill him, it is also stated in the Quran for men and woman to lower their gazes, so if a man was looking at an uncovered woman he would be sinning as much as she is.
Such a wonderful video Mimzy! Thank you so much. The most harmful part is the inability to have a normal identity. Like the woman in the email said, whenever I meet anyone I feel like automatically that person simply sees me as just a Muslim woman with no identity-because I’m not allowed one. I can’t wear normal clothes, I can’t do things that aren’t allowed and my dad doesn’t want me to talk to any non Muslim family member. It makes me cry knowing this is my life and I have no choice!! I have hope though because one day eventually I’ll be able to live freely.
It’s sad hearing this because as a Muslim your dad should know this is wrong
You don’t deserve this at all 😢
@@sumeya1923 Nope, it goes right down to the Islamic doctrine, so, as a Muslim, the father believes this isn't JUST RIGHT, IT'S DIVINELY COMMANDED!
Personally I don't agree that hijab is progessive because does islam enforces women to wear hijab. But If a women chooses to wear a hijab for fashion, I'm all for it. But I am against enforcement of hijab.
Thank you for the video. I have been teaching German part time for a few years and have encountered women and girls who told me (a woman) in private that they did not wear their hijab willingly. One was forced by her father (and chaperones by her 13 year old brother), another one told me "if I err I want to be on the safe side". Yet I feel my liberal circles do not want to talk about forced hijab and other issues because they do not want to fuel right wing stereotypes. Maybe this could be a topic for a video...
I think you are right. In conservative Muslim families, girls and women are under immense social pressure to wear the hijab. Thanks for raising this issue!
I’m an ex-Muslim from Australia. I share that experience of losing one’s self identity when indoctrinated into wearing Hijab. And I think it extends beyond that. Religion at its core forces you into group think. Everything you do and say needs to fall in line with God’s commandments. And the only differing opinions you may hold are the ones held by different scholars. As I learned about the world, I found myself disagreeing with Islam’s views on gender roles, homosexuality, sexual expression and much more. But I was so heavily indoctrinated that, when asked to share my views on these topics, I would repress my own ideas and only speak about Islam’s views as if they were my own. It’s like an out of body experience to act like a puppet like that. The term for that is cognitive dissonance. It took me a long time to renounce Islam and it was the most difficult time ever because I was constantly fighting with my own brain. Thankfully I made it out and I promised myself to always live authentically and speak only of my truth. I have never experienced anything so freeing than when I learned about the term ‘free thinker’ and I now proudly own that word.
Orgasm Donor - I should preface this by saying that my family has always been dysfunctional regardless of religion. Also, I am lucky to live in a different state from my family due to my studies, however I am financially dependent on my parents. The problems I faced with my family were mainly emotional. My parents found out after seeing a Hijab-less photo of me in the newspaper which forced me to ‘come out’ to them. My mum disapproved of my choices but mainly turned her feelings inwards, blaming herself for ‘failing’ to raise me correctly. But she truly has unconditional love for me and continues to support me. On the other hand, my narcissistic father saw my departure from Islam as me detaching from his control, which is what narcissists fear the most. His reaction didn’t have anything to do with religion. He emotionally blackmailed me for a period of time by blaming all of my family’s issues on my lack of faith and telling me how I’ve brought on so much heartbreak and shame to my extended family. He threatened to kick me out of the house I live in (which is owned by my parents) but my mum somehow stopped him ❤️. Since being aware of my father’s narcissism, I have cut off contact with him to preserve my mental health. My older sister and brother were mainly shocked and saddened by my decision, but grew to see me beyond my faith/lack of faith (who knew that faithless people can have good hearts?). The Muslim community in my hometown are made up of Malaysians, Singaporeans and Indonesians, who are considerably less radical than other Muslim communities. They found out about me through social media and the grapevine but so far nobody has talked to me directly about it.
I can feel you. Stay strong, there are many people going through this and in 5 to 20 years it will have become so normal that people apostacisr and truly wear what they want inside and out, that the great losses you are experiencing from your brave step will pave the way for the next generation of people. Stay brave, you help all of us :)
So ex muslims getting into muslims discussion? Not only that but you'd leave islam just because of hijab? So what if you wear hijab? Is it really necessary? Non muslims always getting their nose in islam. They never look into other religions always islam always against islam everyone wanna fight islam and islam is fighting all. What's next? Say that having an affair with someone who's not ur husband/wife is a choice? Oh yeah sure be like france. You people never make any sense. Well it's your choice to be a muslim or not it's your choice to sin or not. Just don't come in the judgement day and say god please forgive. Hmph making muslims look like they're violent oh we beat women. So you're saying non muslims don't treat women like men and actually beat any women. It's very obvious that islam does what's good for you. Why do i even bother they're not smart enough to know who they should listen to how would they listen to me. Well idc do whatever you do just don't go bragging about it to other muslims geez there ARE WOMEN THAT WEAR HIJAB BY THEIR CHOICE Saudi Arabia is forcing to wear hijab geez..so france and some other countries didn't make hijab illegal? Violenting women and giving them fees. You only think about yourself and what suits you. Talking about muslims beating women well islam never said it's okay to beat women but you know what? It's a choice to beat women just like how it's a choice to wear hijab.
I don't think you were muslim.
@Unicorn Girl man don't tell them these things its useless
I would like you to also shed light on women´s role in this oppression process. Women in these societies are as oppressive as men when it comes to imposing certain rules like Hijab, FGM, etc. and in many cases, they are the ones pushing little girls to wear hijab, I have seen so many in my society it actually made me think that women can be more harmful to other women than men are. It would be interesting to hear your take on this.
I am an ex Muslim from Bosnia (South Europe) and my cousin was forced to do it 2 weeks ago because she got her period (she is 11). I am still upset over it. And Bosnia is a secular democratic country, so I can only imagine how it is for Saudi or Iranian women.
Parents have every right on their child. How about Schools forcing kids to become educated about LGBT, something that is awfully disturbing and messing children minds
@@amza5724 ew, what a disturbing mindset you have. Parents dont own kids, never have, never will.
@What Ever .. I used to think Europeans would never accept this religion.. then I met Bosnians that believed in these barbaric practices. It scared me it proves any race can fall for such practices..
Crazyworld 😄 There are also huge numbers of Macedonians and Albanians having up till 50% of Muslim population (not immigrants but natives).They are also Southern Europe.
@@ashleymelanie4518 well the thing with Bosnians is our ancestors were forced to convert due to safety reasons. Many Bosnians are still Orthodox and Catholic Christians. While the entire Bosnian Church (a type of Protestant church - what our ancestors were) was wiped out due to them colectively converting to Islam. And now our current Muslim population simply practices it because it was taught to them from an early age and the idea of leaving was instilled in us as the worst thing that you could do. Many Bosnians are atheists as well. As time is passing, I see many of us are leaving all 3 religions, but still many Muslim Bosnians refuse to reffer to themselves as non Muslim or ex Muslim despite not practicing or respecting anything from Islam. I think it's the fear of rejection or being disowned. But those 15 to 20% of strict and actually religious Muslims are as barbaric as any fanatic in this world.
It blows my mind that the hijab has become a symbol of feminism! If you want to say women should have the choice to wear it then fine.... But far too often it's something women have absolutely no choice over!
Well done for standing up for freedom, I am proud of how far you have came 💓
Proud of making edited videos one sided opinions? Hummm
@@omaral6443 Of course you say that, I wish I could interview your child bride, it would be great to hear about HER side of the story.
@@JDdr86 your the type that would say nothing to my face nut bark behind a screen lol u poor little boy
Thank you for being so outspoken Mimzy ❤️
Learnt alot from this video, thank you so much! I would love to watch the more in detail video of you make it :)
I want to say something from a perspective of ex-christian living in a very christian country wich is Poland. The Catholic church in Poland is often accused of blocking women's rights. Yes, there are many examples of how it's done, but it's like nothing when you compare this to opression of women's rights in islamic countries. But there are so many people on the left side especially, who are trying to justify such things like hijab. I've read an article - polish woman married to a guy from Iran was saying that women wear hijab in Iran because it's... it's just trendy there. What I'm tryign to say is that: if you think that catholic church is blocking women's rights than you HAVE TO say that islam is blocking women's rights even more! But in many euoropean contries you hear that it's a different culture and you can't understand it, you can't judge it, etc. Well, if you are worried about catholic church abusing women's rights, than you should be worried about islam abusing women's rights as well. There's no such excuse as different culture.
You're a very brave person!
And we are certainly on the verge of new revolution;
Here in France (as in Iran), the apostasian movement continues to grow up, (even though it's just the beginning...)
Lots of thanks;
Fabrice
Such a great analysis. Much appreciated.
How long did the trans Saharan slave trade last?
17 centuries
Some of the seminar participants affirmed that while the trans-Atlantic slave trade lasted for four centuries (1693-1884), the trans-Saharan slave trade continued for 17 centuries (652-1960).
Ok...BLM? Go talk to the arab world and demand reparations for 17 centuries of vastly undocumented enslavement by Arabs...No?
How do you suppose arab men treated those african slaves during those centuries...(keep in mind how they treat their own wives)?
You can't blame the Hijab on people being forced to wear it, you blame the people who forced them to wear it!
thanks for preachinnn, been watching you since 2017 x
Thank you so much for making this video. I’m currently struggling with this and I hope I’ll get through this.
I’m an ex-JW so I can’t speak to the Muslim experience but hearing the stories of starting to wear the hijab at a young age as a “choice” reminds me of Jehovah’s Witness children “choosing” to get baptised (even though it’s a choice between that or never making it to paradise) and then if they grow up and realise they don’t believe that anymore there are serious consequences where the religion forces your family to cut all ties with you and never speak to you again. Is it really a choice if it’s made at an age where you don’t know what you’re getting into and would you call it a choice or an ultimatum?
Yes please do a video about the verses and things, people seem to not believe that it isn’t a choice.
@Albert Wesker read the islamic suras to make sure of that claim
Saw you on Instagram and I have nothing but immense respect for you.
I'd like you to do a video where u go in depth into the verses ^_^
Why she isn't a qualified Scholar of Islam to be going in depth of anything to do with Islam. If you are interested, you can visit Merciful Servant TH-cam, it's very interesting.
Amita that would be good, but I can’t help thinking there will be people claiming and commenting she got everything wrong, and they know better 😂
@@talsingh451 well how about u go and find out for yourself.. :)
@djole3005 your the dumbass. And so is your lgbt clan. Now shoo off plz
@Orgasm Donor right so would u trust a doctor who has successfully gained his university degree, as a qualified doctor, or would u trust a doctor who claims, hes done lots of research here and there, giving false answers. You actually need to study from the 6 authentic books and gain a certificate of qualification at the end. So you actually need to be qualified in order to deliver your thoughts and opinions... not just pick and choose here and there, and make your own conclusions about it. So u need to open your eyes and smell the air hun
Power to the Saudi and Iranian sisters 🙏
Saudi doesn't even enforce hijab by law.
@@muslimproudtobe No but they enforce the burqa and niqab which is in many ways worse
@@shivamrai2886 Saudi doesnt
@@muslimproudtobe This is true. However, hijab is required dress code for most work establishments, and academic institutions. The religious police did chase out and harass women who do not comply with hijab in the public sphere for decades before the Saudi government has curbed its support for the religious establishment very recently. Although they still do that in some ultra conservative areas of the country. Also, while it is not the law to wear niqab, many court judges do not accept that a woman is present in their courtroom with her face uncovered, so there are ways in which not wearing hijab is very detrimental for women here (in Saudi where I am from), even though it isn't outlawed per say.
@@michelleabdullah5469 Things have largely changed recently and are going to change more further on the conservative areas like al qassim will take time but just look at jeddah and the al mutawwen have largely lost their roles in society and their power has been largely reduced..
I would say to girls and women who are forced to wear it. Is leaving home an option? Please try and get financial independence as soon as you can, so you can leave home.
Then you can live the life you want.
Telling truth keep it up 😊
Been watching your videos, doing an excellent job, the fact that people suffer shunning and bullying for not just leaving Islam, but not practicing it fully as well, tells me all I need to know, would love to know how it’s been for you and Veedu, just your experiences from the Muslim community, keep going with these fantastic videos
I am not force to wear hijab neither my friends or family. Just because you come from a community wear people may not treat women equal and may force them to wear hijabs doesn’t mean the rest of muslims are forced. I love being Muslim and I’m happy I was never forced and started wearing it this year it’s really pretty and I love it. It hurts my feeling when people say that we’re opposed and being forced. Most people are NOT FORCED. Also must of Muslim family doesn’t wear a hijab.
This ain't about you. Just because you decided to wear the hijab willingly doesn't mean it's the case for all girls. There's millions of girls who are pressured and forced to wear it either by law or by their families / society. We are not going to ignore these ppl because that makes you uncomfortable.
@@hajareli7597 yes I know that. Just Becasue millions of girls are being forced doesn’t mean they’re supposed to. It’s not the religion that is forcing women it is the peopel. In so,e countries people are very corrupt and controlling, which I don’t agree with forcing but not every Muslim women/girl is forced in fact most Muslim women are not forced. Al though they’re continues to be the extremist that force their child,ten which is against the Quran and they will be punished for. Ag8an not the religion it’s the people. Yes everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that’s my side of the story.
@@pinkecottoncandy4586 you’re so insensitive did you not listen to the video? Stop discrediting people’s experiences just because you want to protect the image of your misogynistic and oppressive religion. Islam literally says that, women who don’t wear the hijab get to be tortured in hell. THAT is how you create an army of women who are cowering in fear, obedient to every word you say. COMPELLED to do it, because theres a consequence and an extreme one. When there is a consequence or a threat, it is no longer a choice. Because they are compelled to do so and follow orders. To sacrifice their freedom and follow orders. It’s not a choice, or a freedom, call it anything else but those two words.
@@sparklingfashion6276 You may lose your freedom in this Dunya but the sacrifices you make in this world will be worth it in the afterlife, and yes that might of been insensitive of me to say that but it was also insensitive of her to say that all Muslim women are forced to wear hijab. And If you do it willingly for the sake of god you get a reward but if u do it bc ur family is forcing you there’s not point.
@@pinkecottoncandy4586 you are superstitious, don’t force this to others. Just because you are free it doesn’t mean everyone is free. Keep your superstitious beliefs to your self
Super important video! Thank you for speaking out for many who cant and get ridiculed..
I would actually love to have a video like that togather with ACE - the guy your husband interviewed , it was such an interesting discussion they had
Thank you for explaining this. I see how the concept of hijab has been sanitized and positioned/marketed as a liberal and feminist statement and it leaves one who knows the religious roots of it a little dumbfounded and speechless. Although there are some lucky girls who voluntarily choose it, for the majority, girls are groomed into it at a very young age and the shame hangs over you the rest of your life. For those who have "yet" to wear hijab, because that is the ending expectation, they get the "allah yihdeeha" with pitty, and it psychologically messes with you. I have learned in pre-Islamic Arabia, many goddesses (Al-Lat, Al-3uzza, Manat are mentioned in the Quran) were worshipped by the tribes. I am wondering if the need to control women comes as a result of my ancestors worshipping female deities like these 3 and Asherah, Isis, Hathor, Ishtar, and Inanna. It really makes me wonder if those pagans who worshipped females is the reason why islam has such a position for women.
a pagan here
cant really tell the horrors of islamic invasion
women literally used to burn themselves up so they dont have to go as slaves with islamic invaders
its a taboo to discuss tho coz u kno u cant offend muslims
call me young or whatever but im currently 11 and im trying to educate myself on islam. for the past 2 years or so i started to dislike islam but i thought i was just being crazy. im glad there r so many others in this world that can actually relate to me. im choosing to keep my mouth shut for now and wait until im a little older just in case i like being a muslim. thank you for making these videos bc without u, i wouldve never found out about all these amazing facts. :]

Literally been wearing it since primary age 5 or 6 and I’m 18 now still being made to wear it, if I ever speak on it there’s problems even-though all my mates don’t
I think since we can all relate we should move away together i literally have no friends.
Yes! I would love to see a more in depth video about this
thank you for speaking up for us
Love your videos! Thanks for being a voice for all those who are oppressed.
Okay it’s true that these girls are oppressed but forcing to do anything is haram in Islam. The hijab and other rules for women was introduced to protect them from men in Saudi at the time as there was no police or anything rlly there and the men were harassing and abusing the women. Even the prophets wife didn’t wear a hijab at first, no one really did. It was introduced to help women and Islam promotes women’s rights , helping women who had absolutely no rights in Saudi before the Quranic revelation. I believe, as Allah introduced the hijab and other coverings for us to benefit, he won’t judge or punish anyone for not wearing it if it isn’t really required as long as their faith is strong. In Islam the intentions and the action are more important than anything else
But u see , how taking things literally from Quran has burdened many Muslims around the world. U r saying it's not obligatory and I appreciate that but if Quran was clear about choice in wearing Hijab ; Women from Saudi and Iran till date wouldn't be pressurised for covering out of their will and denied basic rights like driving and hanging out alone
I think a more accurate hashtag would be choice4manynot412many
(for one too)
Still, once again ALL your points are too depressingly important too ignore.
Those clips are so frustrating.
The cognitive dissonance on this issue by western proponents of the hijab is so disappointing.
If it's a genuine choice, more power to them. But we can't deny that it's not a choice for one too many.
Cheers
Be safe
You are so pretty, God bless you. My mom started wearing hijab last year but never prays, its a stupid fashion statement. Woman wearing hijab in the West are just covered up bimbos.
@Rukhshanda Khan it doesnt have to be taken literally. From a religious person that is the best thing they can wish upon someone. Dont be closeminded.
@Rukhshanda Khan stop being so close minded. I'm an ex Muslim former atheist myself, now i believe in God and want God to bless her. I grew up watching her fathers videos on Islam and still a strong ex Muslim.
Thank you
@@MimzyVidz Great vid. I think you are awesome but "atheist Muslims" is an oxymoron.
So it's suddenly okay to call other women bimbos?
It was never forced on me... I know you don’t understand Arabic. But in the Quran it states “no compulsion in religion” you cannot force people to wear it or remove it. For example, as a Morroccan who can speak Morroccan, I can tell you a lot of Morroccan’s are not forced to wear the hijab.
Perhaps a lot aren’t but my point is a lot are and those people shouldn’t be ignored
I want you to take a grand look at a vast majority of Islamic countries, and fuckin tell me the hijab is a choice.
Personal or anecdotal evidence is not factual truth.
@@kfcfingerlicker9292 it is a choice in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Turkey, Syria, Palestine... shall I go on... I have more of an advantage than you or the person who made this video, because I can speak the Arabic language and I am able to have conversations in Arabic with all these people and what I found is that hijab is a choice. if certain countries are forcing women to wear it, it’s wrong. But also this happens in France (western countries too) try to force women to remove their hijab. The issue is not hijab. The issue is choice. Just like in Iran in 1936 women were forced to remove the head scarf by a pro western ruler named Reza pahvali.Iranian women chose to wear the hijab and wanted to, but were forced to remove it by police in the streets. I wish you can research and educate yourself about the fact in any society - their will always be women who want to cover and choose to. Educate yourself. Jeez
@@MimzyVidz nah you’re just “a pick me girl”
@@SaraDeux "it is a choice in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Turkey, Syria, Palestine".
I don't think you took a whole gander of every Islamic state or major-Muslim population's perspective. And even if it was a choice, Islamic families and Muslim peers in school will disagree.
"I have more of an advantage than you or the person who made this video because I can speak the Arabic language and I am able to have conversations in Arabic with all these people and what I found is that hijab is a choice. if certain countries are forcing women to wear it, it’s wrong". I am not sure if the advantage of speaking Arabic has any correlation with a women's choice of wearing a hijab.
The clothing can't speak it for itself, and we have something called "translations". I don't believe you speak for every Muslim woman. What were the three Somali girls on her youtube video thinking?
"Just like in Iran in 1936 women were forced to remove the headscarf by a pro-western ruler named Reza pahvali. Iranian women chose to wear the hijab and wanted to, but were forced to remove it by police in the streets. I wish you can research and educate yourself about the fact in any society".
Well... Okay. Nice opinion piece. I want to see where you obtained that specific piece of evidence of women's choice to not wear the hijab by police officers in 1936. And even if were true, what does this have any modern connection to how women choose the hijab? You don't need Albert Einstein's brain to see that.
Cat Stevens says, "I did not come into contact with any Muslim before I embraced Islam. I read the Qur'an first and realized no person is perfect, Islam is perfect, and if we imitate the conduct of the Holy Prophet ... we will be successful."
Thank you so much for your video and please make an in depth video with sources too :)
Yes, would love a deeper video on it.
The hijab is anything but a choice. It is an obligation that requires submission. Just like for all the commands of Allah, obedience is necessary. We must submit to our Master. Allah commands and we obey.
Allah is fake
@@poollofindro5886 We will see about that
I also would like to see the verses and hadiths listed in the video description. You don't have to make the video about them specifically, but then interesed people could see for themselves.
@Sᴋʏ Dᴀᴅᴅʏ Thanks for all the references. I was being specific about the hijab, though. By verses I meant the ayat (verses) in the Qur'an about veiling, and the hadiths about veiling. Other people have asked for the same. Do you know them? Could you list them in a separate reply so all can see?

How do people justify forcing the hijab on women (or punishment for apostasy) when Surat al-Baqara says, "Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error." I've never been able to wrap my head around this.
I see a lot of leveling attempts on this; 'but what about women in the west who feel the need to dress this way or this way'.
While SOME women in the west might dress a certain way out of insecurity, its not like there are girls who would have to fear disgust or violence by their mothers or fathers, or disdain from the community and diminished marriage prospects if they ever once left the house without wearing a mini skirt or the like.
There are actually some really quirky communities in the world where not wearing revealing clothing, particularly to large community events, is grounds for bullying and reduced marriage prospects for many women (some Irish traveler communities are the first to come to mind but the same could be said for most clubbing scenes). I'm not claiming that this tends to lead to violence or that it is as serious an issue but as cultural shifts occur it's within the realms of possibility.
@Kirsty Birsty Most everyone in Britain knows about honour killings.
@@Aima952 All types of OPPRESSION is wrong. Whether it by oppressed to wear more or oppressed to wear less
@@sparklingfashion6276 I agree with you in principle but at what point does a lack of choice become oppression? (I refer you to 'The Devil Wears Prada' for a full explanation of why those who don't have a gift for making their own clothing and infinite funds to do so don't have freedom of expression in regards to their clothing). Ie: I don't get to choose to wear the only clothing I actively feel comfortable in (jeans, t-shirt and a hoody) to work because my boss deems this unprofessional.
I also have a legal right to be a nudist in my region (so long as I don't behave in a sexualised way or make others uncomfortable) but because I live next to a school and have large areas of my house society pressures to be clothed in - in likely penalty of never working in my chosen career again if people complained (which as someone with no wish to marry is a worse social sanction for me than being considered unmarrigable).
@stopscammingman women in the west don’t wear things out of insecurity. When men wear nothing no one says they’re insecure.
There is no force in Islam...if a woman wants to wear hijab she is free..
If she does not ...you cant force her ....it's Between her and her lord...
Plus if a girl wants to wear it ....she doesn't need anyone's permission to cover her body
Plus no one needs to wear the hijab at the age of 4.....your supposed to wear it once you get maturity...which makes sense...
Wrong. It’s a sin for a woman to show her hair so women in Islam are emotionally forced to wear it
Yes. We need in depth!
Please give us details - Quranverses, Hadith, etc.
@@JasbirSingh-yb9wj it close his mouth shut lmao
More power to you❤️
In most Muslim families, growing up it is actually not a choice to wear it or not, you MUST wear it. So the question of whether it was "freely chosen" or not is kind of moot because it is the only realistic choice there to begin with.
I have to caveat this that many Muslim countries have some secular laws that allow Hijab not to be worn, and some exercise that right, but I am speaking mostly about the familial and cultural dynamic that occurs within families.
The big question🙋, why Muslim men focus too much and push and insist and persist on hijab??? I know the answer!!
the thing is, if hijab is for hiding your beauty and not attract men then why ugly women have to wear it? I am currently a muslim and I have doubts about islam. some things just doesn't make sense anymore.
also why we are covering ourselves while praying!? is it because we are attractive to Allah?
love you thx for your videos.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No women is ugly. It depends on the man. Everyone has different preferences on which women they find beautiful. So it's best for sisters to cover up. And it's not just the face nd hair it's also the body also so loose clothing is what women should wear
@@AliAhmed-nu5hx that's false, in first place if someone is ugly or beautiful is a matter of personal preferences, soo in undeterminable, but i personalyy believe that a mowan that hate life, hate the other human beings, hate everything that she see is the most possible definition of "objective uglyness"
Simple answer: Islam is misogynistic. It objectifies women and also Islam wants to control people in every way possible
Ex Muslims are so bored...you leave Islam yet cannot detach from it....there is no morality beyond religion....just emptiness and depression.
PHUB said ‘ that a day on his people will come where holding into Islam’s teachings is like holding burning coal’ Hijab is a command from Allah and you can’t change that.
Yes, verse and hadiths and don't leave anything. God bless
Update ur information. Islamic police is refrained from interfering in women’s clothes 4 years ago. Women r free to go out without abaya as long as the don’t wear shorts or short dresses over the knees. It’s progress.
HEY MIMZY!!!! I hope you and others read this I have tried looking for a job during this covid period and a couple of hours ago I recieved a message from an "employer" I was super excited until I recieved the following questions "would you wear 5 inch heels" "do you wear stockings or tights" when I expressed how uncomfortable his questions made me feel I also told him I thought he had a foot fetish (lol) he apologised and said he just wanted to make sure "I'd look professional" and could I wear designer heels and tights for the interview- to cut a long story short i won't be attending the interview however I thought of u yes U!!!! And u know what gives me strength and the backbone and courage to fight him it was only Allah swt n how I know he will provide for me and I do not have to be desperate - ALHAMDULILAHHHHHHHH -
Islam is so sad, God bless people around the world.
hijab should be banned
East Bygg Sp 😂😂😂
Several years ago, the Louvre Museum Square in the French capital, Paris, witnessed a unique demonstration, on the so-called (International Women's Day), where Arab and Iranian women demonstrated naked demanding freedom, equality and secularism, including women with precedents in the history of nudity. Many questions have been asked about these practices, the most important of which is how effective are they in achieving freedom and equality? Does nudity achieve all kinds of demands? Did not God Almighty command women to cover up and abstain? Didn't he order her to hide from men? Did he not order her not to show her adornment except to her husband? Aziz says in his book, "said O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women, ask them from behind a screen to know so do not disturb, and Allah is Forgiving, Most Merciful"
He also said, "The rules of women who do not expect Nkaha not them stand to wear their clothes is adorned with an ornament and Astafven is better for them, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing" Almighty Allah women and generosity in the Holy Quran and commanded by the Holy Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, where he said "Treat women kindly". God Almighty, His majesty, His judgment is clear, and He does not change His judgment no matter what. His law is fixed and nothing in His Law changes, even with the difference of time and place. Some people resorted to distorting the interpretations on the topic of women's covering and chastity, as they said that this was not forbidden by God Almighty, and they called for the freedom of women and to appear and go out in front of the public as they wish.
"
And know that you will be of the highest degree of civility and progress with your chastity and respect, and do not forget the words of God Almighty, “And let them strike their pockets with their wine.”
"
These commentators threaten the moral security of Islamic and conservative societies when they advocate this false freedom, which will inevitably have dire consequences if this concept is entrenched in the minds of women and future generations. They are a danger to the future of Islam and Muslims, as they may come out against us in the future by analyzing what God has forbidden in other matters that were not taken into account, as one of the elders came out to us and said that alcohol was not forbidden by God at all. The Holy Qur’an is considered a law and a constitution for Muslims, since 1400 years ago, the Qur’an did not bring anything strange and marvelous. The word of God Almighty is clear, understandable and known. We do not replace the forbidden with the permissible, and we do not interpret according to our whims.
Hijab is a sign of a woman’s chastity and purity of her heart, and it preserves her modesty. Without it, there is no modesty and immunity against adultery and permissiveness. It prevents the influence of public display, unveiling, and mixing, and preserves the jealousy of the husband and family. My Muslim sister, the veil has been commanded by God in the Noble Qur’an. Advocates of corruption and misguidance always try to distort it, claiming that it is a reason for backwardness and lack of advancement and that it suppresses women’s freedom. Be deceived by these words and hold on to your veil and be proud of it in front of the advocates of falsehood
And know that you will be in the highest degree of civility and progress with your chastity and respect, and do not forget the words of God Almighty, “And let them strike their pockets with their veils.” Therefore, you have to fear God within yourself and fully adhere to your veil. O men, your honors are like your souls, and you neglected them a lot, so you neglected care, you lost trust, and you took danger, and you only perish for yourselves, and you do not perceive. So, will you not understand and repent to your Lord and protect your women? A woman’s freedom is by her chastity and veil, and not by stripping her, as some of the ignorant have called for, follow the example of the Prophet’s wives and companions, may God be pleased with them. May God protect our women and your women, may God benefit us for Islam and Muslims, O God, honor Islam and Muslims, humiliate polytheism and polytheists, destroy your enemies, the enemies of religion, and make this country safe and reassuring, and all Muslim countries, with your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful. May God’s peace and blessings be upon our master Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and his family and all his companions
please do the video you said you would !!
Whoever said what so ever..if The Creator don't give you hidaya you will never found the straight path..you will be astray. You eyes will be blind, your ears will be deaf and your heart will be lock and you will not find the key to unlock it..but truth is always will be infornt of you!!! And this is the true word...
Hijab is not a "choice" for many, people are absolutely deranged or bonkers to think that Hijab is a choice just for themselves, absolutely blind people, Islam is blinding many people to realities in the world
Sure we would love to see a videout by you abo the foundation of this in the texts. 😊
It should be obvious that when duress is involved, there is not free choice.

Why do some women who arnt forced into islam convert and wear a hijab?
I. D ever heard of something called choice? She literally says if it’s your thing if you wanna wear it it’s your choice to.
@@matcha7061 I know what you mean but I am asking why do some women choose to convert and wear it? There must be something good about it if some women are willing to wear it.
Irmak I’m not sure about girls but I’ve talked to someone who converted to Islam was a part of this very religious community somewhere in the states and he literally knew every aspect of the Quran and Shia and sunna he told me he found a bunch of errors and that they always sugarcoated everything and he saw a lot of bad stuff in it. And now he’s stuck because he can’t come out as an atheist to his wife or she’ll divorce him and take the kids
Irmak I’m guessing it’s because they sugarcoat it a lot and make it seem so nice and feminist I was there and than o started really thinking about it and searching and digging and found out it’s all bull shit. Edit: I’m a female.
Cool thanks
But i made the choice to wear my hijab-
There’s so much negativity surrounding Islam and wearing hijab and how women are forced , what about the sisters who feel great about wearing a hijab and are proud of their choice? You focus on all the Muslim women forced to wear? Not everyone is forced to wear it is actually the opposite. You talk mostly about those women who unfortunately had some bad experience with hijab but do you really know that there women who love their identity as a Muslim and happy to wear the hijab and that also struggle in to follow their faith! You seem to show support those who were forced to wear hijab but what about those who victimised or bullied for wearing their hijabs! I do understand a lot women have been criticised for not wearing hijabs but I know a lot who proudly wear hijabs and are criticised badly whos going speak out for them?
We don't need to speak for people which are free and living great but for those people who are oppressed.
These stories are really sad and I’m in no way denying some people are forced to wear it. But why is covering up seen as something so oppressive? And what is covering up preventing you from doing? I am completely against anyone using oppressive ways to wear hijab. It is something that needs to be taught with love and understanding. The hijab has been a struggle for me but with wrong company it’s easy to forget this life is temporary.
judging the hijab alone its not oppressive i think its good for people living in cold climates, but most people wearing it are in really hot climates and especially in black. and honestly i dont think its serving any purpose, because men generally are attracted to a womans face not her hair, so what are you hiding with the hijab? nothing much. and hijabis tend to wear makeup. it sounds really like contradiction.
It's not the actual wearing of the Hijab that is oppressive. You should be able to wear whatever you want. It's when girls/women are forced to wear it is when it becomes oppressive.
May allah protect us all,people in the comments mocking my religion,Keep doing what you are doing,Don't worry It was predicted thousands of years ago that this will happen keep mocking islam,it your loss
troll
S lol
I don't know why but i think u disrespecting islam, and that really hurt don't blame the religion, all religion are not wrong, blame their individuality not their religion, it's hurt :(
Yeah exactly. It’s Saudi culture not Islam. This is not something Allah would have agreed with
"Thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee” (Moses 3:17).
"God has told us through His prophets that we are free to choose between good and evil. We may choose liberty and eternal life by following Jesus Christ. We are also free to choose captivity and death by following Satan." (See 2 Nephi 2:27) (Bible)
Torah itself: "I [God] have set before you life and death, blessing and curse: therefore choose life" (Deuteronomy 30:19) (Torah)
"The truth [has now come] from your Sustainer: Let, then, him who wills, believe in it, and let him who wills, reject it," (18:29) (Quran)
Your argument is mostly based on your personal opinion & culture. The Quran, the Bible, and the Torah clearly states everyone has a freedom of choice.
My mom used to force me to wear the hijab
Yawn yawn yawn still going on about Muslim things .
You are aware there are other religions how come you don’t criticise Christians Hindus etc.
Wow you go on alot
People who leave Christianity, Hinduism, are not killed, thrown out of society or given death threats.
Christians and Hindus are fine with criticism of their religions worldwide, but Muslims never are.
Theres a lot more I could say. For once, just be unbiased and ask your heart, putting away your ego, whether my points are right or not.
No hate to Islam or Muslims.
@@soupisfun1239 All I'm saying is it's boring for her to criticise all aspects of Islam she appears bubbly and lovey but in reality she is extremely negative and holds onto negative aspects of Islam it's boring.
If you don't want to be Muslim don't simple as, keep negative comments to a minimum and just talk about other things and not generalise about hijab etc many girls wear and many don't.
In the Indian culture there are pressures such to wear more scarf and clothing but isn't a religious requirement
@Lucy how do you know how much I know about Islam are you psychic?? You must be because you even answered for negative mimzy......she probably goes on in a negative way about Islam because she doesn't like any aspect anymore but It's too boring
And your reply is even more boooooringggg!!!!!!!!!
Lol 10k views no dislike whaaat
Yeah OK, but it's SUPPOSED to be a choice.. Just because some people force it upon others, which is no doubt completely wrong and haram, doesn't make it Quranically obligatory.. This video is pure exaggeration. And also, the hijab isn't mandatory, it's a recommendation.. You can of course be modest without wearing a hijab.
Yet there are multiple Hadiths talking about the punishments in the afterlife for women who do not wear the hijab. That sense of ‘choice’ is an illusion. Yeah you can choose to not wear the hijab BUT according to hadiths and the Quran, you’re also choosing to be punished in the hereafter.
@@atldn6157 not the Quran, no. Hadith are fallible and the Quran seems to make it clear that dressing modestly is what is important. There is no direct mentioning of covering the head or face. Hence, we really don't need to overcomplicate Islam to such a degree.. Allah is not petty and neither should we be.
@@Geralt_of_Rivia7 'the hijab isn't mandatory, it's a recommendation.' Even if that's true you need to tell that to all the families and Muslim communities out there who are indoctrinating girls from a young age to believe that if they dont wear it they are impure, an embarrassment to the family, a hoor and that it's an order from God to wear it and if they dont wear it they will burn in hell. If a young girl/woman is wearing the hijab for these reasons then they are not wearing it because they want to, they are wearing it out of fear. Therefore it's not really a choice is it.
And also, you can't claim the video is an exaggeration when she clearly gives us real life examples of countries in the world where you could actually get punished by law for not wearing it (e.g. Saudi Arabia and Iran). She even reads out emails from women who have suffered as result of having to wear the hijab. She even talks about people being beaten for not wearing it. Not exactly an exaggeration if millions of women around the world are suffering because of the coercion to wear it.
@@palsos123 well I completely disagree with all of that and so does the Quran. Like I said the hijab SHOULD be a choice but I can't deny that there are indeed people who force its implementation which is haram and I feel very sorry for girls that are forced to do so. If I could then I would certainly raise my voice against it and hey, maybe I will.
It's not just "some people force it upon others". Everyone in the community enforces it. Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran enforce it by law, and jail women for non-observance. How many Muslim women do you know who have chosen not to wear it?
اللهم عليك بأعدائك أعداء الدين، اللهم رد عنا كيدهم وفل حدهم وأزل دولتهم واذهب عن أرضك سلطانهم ولا تدع لهم سبيلاً على أحد من عبادك المؤمنين. اللهم أنزل عليهم بأسك الذي لا يرد عن القوم المجرمين اللهم زلزل أقدامهم ونكس أعلامهم واذهب ريحهم اللهم آمين

Well done. Nawal elsasdawi says it’s not in the Koran at all and hijab is over the chest not. The head
Lady, theres a difference between culture and islam
Hijab is a bondage
I can't believe that those unbeliever believe that a piece of cloth means oppresion🤦♂️
@Riad Ghandour first off hijab is a lie and not Gods commandment. Second if it’s just a piece of cloth and not oppressive why do women get killed for not wearing it? Why don’t you cover yourself with a ridiculous hijab and try walking around in it. Ignorant low iq male.
cuz it is!!! enough of you ignorant people! believe it already there is no god!
Do you have a choice whether you pay your taxes or tv licence take class A drugs or will you be thrown in prison.😂😂😂😂😂😂
oof O can't forget how much I hated wearing it
Hi sister! I really don’t know how I got to this video, but I just don’t agree with a lot of the things your saying. With respect I don’t think you should say stuff with no prove that it’s what ISLAM says and not the FAMILY/CULTURE says. There are a lot of girls that are forced to wear hijab, Jilbab or even nikab and so on BUT being forced HERE shouldn’t be “if I don’t wear it then dad will beat me” it should be “ if I don’t wear it then Allah won’t be pleased” These girls or women whom have been introduced to hijab at a young age or in a bad way will have problems but the problem is NOT Islam but the PARENTS because their job is to make you love the hijab, prepare you to when it becomes a must/ after you get you period. Their job is to educate you tell you that you wear it for ALLAHS sake and that what you all miss! IT IS FOR ALLAH PERIOD!! And at the end of the day when you are wearing it for you brother father it’s not accepted so why even bother. PROBLEM IS THE PARENTS AND NOT ISLAM! And just one more thing when you say that you KNOW how it is, you don’t because sister I’m 15 and let me tell you that my family isn’t religious but I will start with jilbab inshaalah and I seriously can’t wait to buy them and wear them all and please Allah inshaalah... may allah forgive us and lead us to the right path 🤲🏿
Does Allah have emotion? How do you know that? From the Quran? How do you know Muhammad was contacted by Allah? Do you have any idea 'god never contacted human being and sent any revelation using human language'.. Why do u think you believe is Islamic narrative?
@Persian carpet How do you define faith? Is 'faith' a virtue? How would you distinguish between faith and delusion? if I ask the same questions, which were asked to this confident girl named Tia in this video...will you be able to answer them properly? here is the video th-cam.com/video/A-M1EyhcRS8/w-d-xo.html
