She is very intelligent, for those people who hate on hijab, she actually is better than so many models who have become slaves of the industry, she said no to change herself for others. So, she is very brave and not like some people who would do anything for some money and attention
She had to take off her clothes in front of people. If in a runway they have males who do hair, clothes and makeup while models naked. I believe they’re in the room while models get ready.
She raised in family that put religious value as main value. As Muslim and grow up in America is not easy to keep in Islamic value. So I compliment her and her family in religious value.
Few of the girls who wear the hijab because of their parents, most hijabi women do so because it is their choice .who said we are forced to wear it!!, WE LOVE IT
I'm very thankful for Halima Aden, she is one of the main reasons why me and my friends many years ago looked into Islam and dressing modestly and alhamdullilah today we are all devoted Muslims (we've also even gotten some of our family members to take their shahada!). Halimas story and strength is so inspiring and I'm proud as a hijabi that Halima stood up for herself and for other Muslimahs who deal with this consistently , especially in western nations where we can get abuse just for covering ourselves. May Allah reward anyone who brings the beauty and peace of Islam into the light of others lives.
This has happened for a long time. Christian female models have had this problem as well. This industry really is not built on modesty or the comfort of the models.
@Wisdom of Solomon Huh?? "What part of them are considered Christian?" I don't understand the question. I am referring to modesty standards. The modeling industry has never been an industry sympathetic to a models personal standards of modesty. The only reason the ladies with hijabs have been given some kind of day is for "woke points" but doesn't surprise me that she said the hijabs kept getting smaller. Part of the job seems to be being half naked or fully naked in front of people, especially when back stage at a fashion show and having to change quickly. It would be nice if things were different but not surprised she quit.
@Wisdom of Solomon some of the famous model from Christian background could be religious but opt for the sinful way of living but still acknowledge their Christian faith in regards to the sin. Christianity also emphasizes on modesty and purity, and the modelling industry is far from it.

Islam never says you can not look beautiful. But it does encourage modesty and self respect. Subhan-Allah she does look really beautiful in some of those designer clothes.
The fashion industry has no place for Islamic actors. Islam has already set a standard for our clothing, and she joining the industry and trying to bend both Islamic and Fashion industry rules for some attention is hypocrisy at its finest.
@@tazmeenzargar She's not an actor and because of her,modest fashion with hijab has become more "accepted" by runway fashion.20 years ago you'd never catch a woman with a hijab on the runaway.Its funny how you call her a hypocrite when her actions have only benefited our Muslim brothers and sisters.Her leaving doesn't affect us negatively in anyway.Maybe we should bring up our fellow Muslims instead of bringing them down without reason.

Irrespective of her wearing hijab or not,I think women, in general,should have a proper private changing room in women's area. I feel,industry and women let disrespect become the norm during fittings and behind the scenes in the show businesses. It's jus sad and shameful.
She is also an example of being yourself above all offers of money, fame. Thank you for advocating respect for yourself and other girls. Your body is your temple.
I really wanna say I'm proud of her, I see her growth and I hope to follow her along her journey. Hope she stays strong and may Allah give her more hidayath.

I see a lot of love and hate being thrown at this woman. It seems as though from a professional position, there is a difference of treatment when you have been scouted by a talent agency vs someone who worked their way up to the top to get into the industry. Because they wanted Halima, there was room for negotiation in her contract. Many models sign any contract just to get into that industry, literally sign their lives away. It’s a shame. Perhaps she thought that many models could negotiate their contracts as she had done. But that’s not the reality and she realized this too late. 🤷🏾♀️ I’m by no means a perfect Muslimah. I’m still learning, and we are all still learning. We are all given tests in this life. Sometimes we pass them, sometimes we fail them. The mercy being shown by Allah swt to give her a chance to leave and try and rectify her mistakes can’t be overlooked by me.
I honestly think she met too many satanic people, doing weird stuff that freaked her out, they possibly even tried to grope her (first steps before they either drug you, or coerce you for intercourse ) so she probably wanted to run before she sank deeper
@@tomstory8502 yea that's great and all but if you are modelling for underwea, as a Muslim you either don't take that job or you accept that it is part of the job. I'm all for some accommodation for racial, ethnic, and religious minorities but there comes a point where you have to admit that somethings are just part of the job.
I just find it very strange that it's all about giving hijab wearing women their privacy while changing and stuff and respecting their limits. I mean I understand the importance of it and support it completely but shouldn't it be for all women regardless of their faith. Like why aren't they giving all women their space to change and respecting their boundaries and stuff.
I don’t support women modeling in tight clothes, but regarding the topic of having private spaces for changing, Halima was talking about herself that doesn’t mean she is saying other women don’t deserve privacy. If you ask for a certain plate in a restaurant for example it doesn’t mean you are saying other people don’t deserve to get it. No comparison but just to explain the point, in shaa’ ALLAH . Sadly a lot of women don’t care much about privacy when changing clothes, but anyway they should be given privacy by other people. People should speak up about privacy. More people speaking up for what is right is better, in shaa’ ALLAH
@M O S S A D ♥️ I D F Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Thank you, but she's young and beautiful and deserves to be a runway model. Much support to her. ♡
As much as i like her and have no issue with Islam but her complaints seem too unrealistic and me me me. Has she thought of the other side..the company's point of view? Like in her example that her changing room was placed in a different area, did she ever consider that maybe there was really no space in the work area of that temporary backstage so it was placed in the other side where unfortunately she needs to pass through the men's part?! She is not the only model there where everything should be just right to her standards. In fact you can now buy this portable and handy temporary dressing space where you can bring it with you wherever. Anyway, she can just not accept the job if the company cannot provide what she wants..simple as that. Also, with the jeans ad, again if she feels like she is being fake, then do not do a jeans ad campaign the same way if you do not drink soda then do not model for coke or pepsi. Not everything is for everyone.
I agree with this.Im sure she had a lawyer writing up contracts for her that state what she won't do.Her values of modesty should be respected but anything else is part of the job like you said.But it didn't cover all the aspects she personally wanted? In Islam your allowed to change in front of other females but can't show your genitals.I think it crossed over into diva territory but I think if we had more information from the modeling companies it'll be better.
@@xakirax_8864 in her case i do think the companies did give in to her requests bec her complaints in this vid are a bit shallow. No horror stories that she was violated or forced etc etc. She is simply just not satisfied. Even with the jeans ad, they just showed her face. If she has a prob with it, she can stop the shoot. She is managed by IMG who is the top of the top model agency. Also, being a fashion model is built on being able to carry diff looks and it involves being a character for a short moment. If she is too caught up in her self and do not have any desire to play diff characters then she should not be a model to begin with. I think her prob stems from being still too young and idealist ic and really not yet sure of herself bec a simple change in looks and all of a sudden she feels out of balanced and not herself.
@@stanbalo Yeah I agree with you, her complaining about little things might turn off companies accepting models who need accommodating for e.g disabled people.
In my view her decision come at the right time, im not saying its because the pressure they put her, but deep down she was feeling this is not her place to belong and there is nothing is going to change this business, because this business get the wrong turn...🚫. Gir you get the whole world in front of you, go and do what makes you feel comfortable...
She is just not a good fit for modelling. To each his own and carry on but it seems she feels like she was violated and excluded but totally not the case.
@Daya McCarthy i mean she might not have what it takes to be a model. She might have the looks but her religion is really going against what modelling is all about so there really is a clash. she could still be a model but very limited job opportunities
@@xavierzacheriah6038 I mean, perhaps that ethical argument can be made, but I have no control over it or really any vested interest in it. I'll still be broke no matter where that wealth is sitting and have no allegiance to the people who have it now or may have it in the future.
I know how difficult this can me. I am married to an American and as a Muslim and coming from a religious background it’s very difficult to challenge our Muslim/somali upbringings.
This reminds me of when Tyra banks told a religious Christian model that she can’t get a photo shoot if she refuses to wear lingerie and kicked her off because she said it was not her values and disrespectful to her husband…it shocked me because as a woman of colour she should have known better and not excluded her because she didn’t change who she was…it is sooooo hard to stand up for what you believe in and as Muslim women we’re constantly been put in situations whereby we have to change or mould our faith in order to be accepted or fit in social settings
Haaa! Quote Aden "It's going to be an ICONIC sitdown... " One of the unpleasant consequences of our moronic obsession with the cult of celebrity is the arrogance and narcissism of the inflated egos we create. Obviously this very fortunate young woman believes she has made enough money from the fashion industry, and is getting out while she's ahead. But that's all it is.
A misleading title BBC as Mariah Idrissi was the world’s first hijabi model in 2015 and is british born and you lot even interviewed her back then lol… another piece of evidence that the internet lies
8:30 don't change yourself also applies to the other side as well. The statement simply means she is confrontational and not willing to compromise I don't think she will fit in any job.
@@jayanny she was respected by the fashion people if you really look at it. Compare her journey to other models and it is clear she had it good. I mean her religion is simply not in tune with the fashion industry like water and oil and she must accept it and just move on gracefully instead of trying to create non existent drama. Fundamentally, fashion is all about variety and newness and here she is wanting go be one note. If she is smart, she can just choose the work that she is comfortable doing
The moment you enter fashion industry you know that you will be just a prop for fashion designers and will have absolutely no say in what they put on your body! Hijab won't go with every costume, and it is not a conservative industry by any means which I am sure she knew before entering it, so why all the drama now!
@@niketas.5414 exactly! She wants the industry to change to accommodate all the demands of Muslim hijab wearing models without thinking if it is really feasible. Very one way thinking if you ask me
Why is she modelling? The whole point of wearing a hijab is to cover yourself and not attract attention. She clearly doesn't understand her own religion.
No that’s not the whole point of the hijab. Women who wear hijab wear it because it is Sunnah and strengthens relationship with Allah. You should probably learn more about the religion yourself before you do TH-cam commentary and make yourself look foolish.
@luxe life If you literally google "What is the point of a hijab" the VERY first result is saying that it is to maintain modesty and and privacy from unrelated males xD

Covering yourself is a very small part of hijab.Hijab is the way you present and conduct yourself through life.Think about it,People know you are Muslim straightway when your wearing hijab so whatever you do will reflect on Islam as a whole.
@@rick6672 replace the R with a D in your name dude. If you loved your wife, she would be beautiful to you. Not doing anyone a favor by staying with a woman you don't care for 🤔😳😜.
Hajib and burkini are also fashionable. Fashion is about looking good & feeling good, being comfortable in your culture. American culture is diverse at it's core, and we have plenty of room for a variety of styles in dress and comportment. We have choices.

I mean I understand the importance of it and support it completely but shouldn't it be for all women regardless of their faith. Like why aren't they giving all women their space to change and respecting their boundaries and stuff.
yah and men
I don’t support women modeling in tight clothes, but regarding the topic of having private spaces for changing, Halima was talking about herself that doesn’t mean she is saying other women don’t deserve privacy.
If you ask for a certain plate in a restaurant for example it doesn’t mean you are saying other people don’t deserve to get it. No comparison but just to explain the point,
in shaa’ ALLAH .
Sadly a lot of women don’t care much about privacy when changing clothes, but anyway they should be given privacy by other people.
People should speak up about privacy. More people speaking up for what is right is better,
in shaa’ ALLAH
@@fiddah what’s wrong with tight clothes?
Halima’s beauty is ethereal. She is a perfect representation of rich modest beauty💜
She's so beautiful!
No it's not
@@LICKSTERxx She's not an IT. She's a SHE.
@M O S S A D ♥️ I D F Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Thank you, but she's young and beautiful and deserves to be a runway model. Much support to her. ♡
AM A CHRISTIAN AND I LOVE HIJABS. ANYTHING THAT'S NOT OFFENSIVE IS OKAY.
Enter your religion
You're not supposed to like it.
Restrictive clothings (like hijab) are silent-weapon shooting against the Human Rights.
Mary the mother of Jesus had hijab
@@stevenicol1 why not ? Mother of Jesus did + orthodox Christians do.
As much as i like her and have no issue with Islam but her complaints seem too unrealistic and me me me. Has she thought of the other side..the company's point of view? Like in her example that her changing room was placed in a different area, did she ever consider that maybe there was really no space in the work area of that temporary backstage so it was placed in the other side where unfortunately she needs to pass through the men's part?! She is not the only model there where everything should be just right to her standards. In fact you can now buy this portable and handy temporary dressing space where you can bring it with you wherever. Anyway, she can just not accept the job if the company cannot provide what she wants..simple as that. Also, with the jeans ad, again if she feels like she is being fake, then do not do a jeans ad campaign the same way if you do not drink soda then do not model for coke or pepsi. Not everything is for everyone.
I agree with this.Im sure she had a lawyer writing up contracts for her that state what she won't do.Her values of modesty should be respected but anything else is part of the job like you said.But it didn't cover all the aspects she personally wanted? In Islam your allowed to change in front of other females but can't show your genitals.I think it crossed over into diva territory but I think if we had more information from the modeling companies it'll be better.
@@xakirax_8864 in her case i do think the companies did give in to her requests bec her complaints in this vid are a bit shallow. No horror stories that she was violated or forced etc etc. She is simply just not satisfied. Even with the jeans ad, they just showed her face. If she has a prob with it, she can stop the shoot. She is managed by IMG who is the top of the top model agency. Also, being a fashion model is built on being able to carry diff looks and it involves being a character for a short moment. If she is too caught up in her self and do not have any desire to play diff characters then she should not be a model to begin with. I think her prob stems from being still too young and idealist ic and really not yet sure of herself bec a simple change in looks and all of a sudden she feels out of balanced and not herself.
@@stanbalo Yeah I agree with you, her complaining about little things might turn off companies accepting models who need accommodating for e.g disabled people.
@@xakirax_8864 Yes, why bother if you will just end up stressed. No one wants to work with someone difficult
@@xakirax_8864 people like beautiful people
And I don't think you understand people
These people are shit
This is the type of model I want to become
In my view her decision come at the right time, im not saying its because the pressure they put her, but deep down she was feeling this is not her place to belong and there is nothing is going to change this business, because this business get the wrong turn...🚫. Gir you get the whole world in front of you, go and do what makes you feel comfortable...
She is just not a good fit for modelling. To each his own and carry on but it seems she feels like she was violated and excluded but totally not the case.
@Daya McCarthy i mean she might not have what it takes to be a model. She might have the looks but her religion is really going against what modelling is all about so there really is a clash. she could still be a model but very limited job opportunities
This is just for show. If you wanna be a model and don't comply to their rules, you are out!
The stylists in the fashion industry should undergo a cultural teaching , also for the styling and care of african hair and skin. Bless you.
Africa is a pretty big place with a lot of people. Maybe they can start their own fashion industry?
@@rabidgoon but west should retrun their wealth which they looted last centuries
@@xavierzacheriah6038 I mean, perhaps that ethical argument can be made, but I have no control over it or really any vested interest in it. I'll still be broke no matter where that wealth is sitting and have no allegiance to the people who have it now or may have it in the future.
Proud for our somali sisters making history and changing how ignorant people see the hijab
Masha Allah she is an intelligent girl because she is right to leave this bad work.
Modelling is good career
@@jeffreyshainline3272 nope
I know how difficult this can me. I am married to an American and as a Muslim and coming from a religious background it’s very difficult to challenge our Muslim/somali upbringings.
How come Bbc hasn’t reported on the Pegasus software
They have a sionist agenda to deliver. Corrupt mouthpeice of their fascist masters
I dont know
They have reported on it.Google it.
This reminds me of when Tyra banks told a religious Christian model that she can’t get a photo shoot if she refuses to wear lingerie and kicked her off because she said it was not her values and disrespectful to her husband…it shocked me because as a woman of colour she should have known better and not excluded her because she didn’t change who she was…it is sooooo hard to stand up for what you believe in and as Muslim women we’re constantly been put in situations whereby we have to change or mould our faith in order to be accepted or fit in social settings
Do you remember what season and episode it was? I want to watch it
Haaa! Quote Aden "It's going to be an ICONIC sitdown... "
One of the unpleasant consequences of our moronic obsession with the cult of celebrity is the arrogance and narcissism of the inflated egos we create. Obviously this very fortunate young woman believes she has made enough money from the fashion industry, and is getting out while she's ahead. But that's all it is.
Yupp.
Such a wonderful people both of them!
The most beautifull girl in the World..
A misleading title BBC as Mariah Idrissi was the world’s first hijabi model in 2015 and is british born and you lot even interviewed her back then lol… another piece of evidence that the internet lies
Halima you are so strong! ❤️
She is so talented dont quit.
8:30 don't change yourself also applies to the other side as well. The statement simply means she is confrontational and not willing to compromise I don't think she will fit in any job.
I so agree! She seems sweet but stubborn and too idealistic..classic case of being young
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be respected. Her actions are not confrontational.
@@jayanny she was respected by the fashion people if you really look at it. Compare her journey to other models and it is clear she had it good. I mean her religion is simply not in tune with the fashion industry like water and oil and she must accept it and just move on gracefully instead of trying to create non existent drama. Fundamentally, fashion is all about variety and newness and here she is wanting go be one note. If she is smart, she can just choose the work that she is comfortable doing
The moment you enter fashion industry you know that you will be just a prop for fashion designers and will have absolutely no say in what they put on your body! Hijab won't go with every costume, and it is not a conservative industry by any means which I am sure she knew before entering it, so why all the drama now!
@@niketas.5414 exactly! She wants the industry to change to accommodate all the demands of Muslim hijab wearing models without thinking if it is really feasible. Very one way thinking if you ask me
If modelling allows us to wear well covered clothes I would definitely pursue it but unfortunately that’s not the case
All this fashion industry is such a joke.
Why is she modelling? The whole point of wearing a hijab is to cover yourself and not attract attention. She clearly doesn't understand her own religion.
No that’s not the whole point of the hijab. Women who wear hijab wear it because it is Sunnah and strengthens relationship with Allah. You should probably learn more about the religion yourself before you do TH-cam commentary and make yourself look foolish.
@luxe life If you literally google "What is the point of a hijab" the VERY first result is saying that it is to maintain modesty and and privacy from unrelated males xD
@@Pegi_edit If you literally google "What is the point of a hijab" the VERY first result is saying that it is to maintain modesty and and privacy from unrelated males xD
@@u3vs62cja you’re asking google, I’ve asked real muslim women. You wouldn’t understand because a) you’re a man named matt therefore b) you’re probably white and have barely encountered a Muslim woman in your life. Understand Tawhid and understand womanhood, dummy
Covering yourself is a very small part of hijab.Hijab is the way you present and conduct yourself through life.Think about it,People know you are Muslim straightway when your wearing hijab so whatever you do will reflect on Islam as a whole.
Thommy is just awesome
Omggg that’s Tommy rahhhh so great he’s talking about it 🥺
Knowing how the industry works, they must have said, yeah you can keep your hijab on but wear a halal meat suit or plastic bubble wrap 🤦🏿♀️
Hijab or no-hijab...women are beautiful...inside & outside - nobody can deny that.
She beautiful

She is so beautiful 😻
I wish my wife was beautiful like her.
@@rick6672 replace the R with a D in your name dude. If you loved your wife, she would be beautiful to you. Not doing anyone a favor by staying with a woman you don't care for 🤔😳😜.
@@rick6672 your wife is the most beautiful for you,
@@bethklecha5945 good idea 💡 husband handsome for their wife and wife so beautiful for their husband 💓💓 happy with what we have it happiness 💓
Sieb you are more beautiful you are like an oasis in the hot desert
Being a model is like death..
Quitting does absolutely nothing
Then why are you burning if it does nothing 😂😂😂
Hajib and burkini are also fashionable. Fashion is about looking good & feeling good, being comfortable in your culture. American culture is diverse at it's core, and we have plenty of room for a variety of styles in dress and comportment. We have choices.
You’re a gem Stephanie. 💎
🖤
She should come to Malaysia. We respect hijab model
Deen over dunya 🤗
Allah Hu Akbar 💪🏻🦁🤍🤍
I am happy that she respects her body.
I am so proud of Halima. There should be more change and improvement in the industry. Still, I will never forget what T.H. said about us years ago.
