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
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.
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.
What a queen, these industries are very sinister & dark, perhaps why allot of young girls lose themselves, may Allah SWT bless you and your family halima❤️💯

@@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.

Halima, I'm sure you always had a good intention during your journey, and this experience has taught you many things, and you stopped early enough to save yourself from that freaking creepy industry
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.
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.
Masha’Allah she’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING! May Allah continue to have mercy on us, protect us, forgive us, guide us, and continue to bless us. Ameen!
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.

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.

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
@@sudamandem 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.
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
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
@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. ♡
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
@@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.
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.
The industry needed her approached her and accepted her terms and conditions.She was not desperate. Religion aside, people have on many occasions resigned for good and nobody questioned them, why can't she make her choic? I appreciate people who know what they want/need. Spiritual matters are paramount in life.
@@chukwuemerie Why didn't she go do in say Somalia Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan then if its her choice.....which it isn't she is compelled by the most patriarchal driven ideology on earth to wear the hijab

Excally my point her being a fashion model as a Muslim is as bizarre as seeing a nun in strip a club. You can not combine these two religious ideologies in environment which expolites and sexualises the female body it's pure hypocrisy
Allah Said Short is the enjoyment of this world. The Hereafter is (far) better for him who fears Allah, and you shall not be dealt with unjustly even equal to the Fatila (a scalish thread in the long slit of a date-stone)
This woman is a victim of her religion not the fashion industry and I do not understand what the BBC is up to. It is not a "diversity" issue if people choose to put constraints upon themselves.
You are very beautiful sister ! I saw you in Dubai Modest Fashion week 🥰You so kind 🙌🏼My dream to creat my own brand for modest lady’s and bring good nice designs for covering sisters .
Plz put maashaa Allah where it's supposed to be, the industry has exploited this young Lady,and yet you keep saying maashaa Allah,may Allah lighten your inner heart to see the tricks of shaytswan from far,
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
It's not only BBC. Almost all international & national channels hv various reports regarding the Muslim world & Islam. They are like wagons of a train. They keep coming & coming. Accept the fact that Islam & Muslims hv become an inevitable part of discussions all over the world, whethet positive or negative. You cannot escape from this fact. U might or might not hate it but u cannot stop its increaaing viewership & popularity. Ultimately, it's being propagated in all ways & one way is the media.
What an naive thing she is and he's a phony. Isn't he the one who said he didn't want black people to wear his clothes? I'm from a Muslim family, all the people I love follow the faith closely (albeit with sense and wisdom) and even I know that you're not there to 'express yourself', you're there to be a vessel for the vision of the designer. If you can't do it, leave but don't try to change the industry. And the French burkha ban is totally appropriate given it's a violation of their social norms and their social contract, just as my Western ways would have been a violation when I lived in Abu Dhabi. In the Emirates, I wore local dress and fell in line with their customs. No wonder people around the world hate us so much. Some of the entitlement and arrogance of some members of our community shock even me.
When you enter a restaurant for example do you feel you may eat whatever they give you and may not demand any change if something is inconvenient for you to eat ? So even if you find a cockroach in your dish, you plan to remain silent ?
@@fiddah She's the cockroach in this scenario. No sane people irrespective of religion want entitlement, race-baiting and erosion of indigenous European cultures in fashion or otherwise. We moved to the West because we believe in the West, not because we wanted to impose our failing cultures on a better one.

He does Exist and No one Cares What You Think
Don't worry bruh you will feel him someday somehow
@@RANDAMOVIDZZ hahaha... no, there's no god at all. But if you need this belief to consol yourself; go ahead. I need no god and this means freedom and peace of mind.
@@aeliusromanus9338 yepp freedom but my pal that's kinda limited version and I am kinda Full Version Enjoyer so YEAH GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BELIEF
@@RANDAMOVIDZZ just saying something is real , doesn't make it real , that's not how logic works
Congrats to her honestly. I felt that one day she will stop it.
Why not cover the women who choose NOT to wear one and face imprisonment.
Doesn't suit the narrative of the ant-British Broadcast Corporation.
Because they're trying to push the hijab into been a symbol against western racism rather than middle Eastern oppression.
There's no such thing as what you say complete baseless assumptions 😄
"Being the first hijab-wearing model"
Oww such unspecific statement
Seems like she should be a designer rather than a model
Your strong to hold your hijab, I’m super proud of you I hope you’ll hold your hijab despite the challenges
Tommy. You’re the best. Thank you
This’s soo inspiring!! and tommy was compassionate
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

@@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.
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.
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?
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
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. ♡
I'm so proud of you Haleema for every step you took✨. May Allah bless you in both this world and the hereafter.
BBC obsessed with the hijabs
Such a wonderful people both of them!
Halima you are so strong! ❤️
I am so proud that she is originally from somalia
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
Isn't this like a stripper complaining that stripping doesn't comply with their Christian values?
essentially yeah
You can have modest fashion
Women don’t have to take their close off to be attractive.
She signed a contract that allowed to use her hijab. She is a good human.
@@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.
@@chukwuemerie great! More power to her. All I'm saying is did she think being a model would be entirely in line with her muslim values?
May Allah continue to guide and protect her from this dunya ameen. So powerful and touching 🥺💖
This is just for show. If you wanna be a model and don't comply to their rules, you are out!
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.
This is the type of model I want to become
The most beautifull girl in the World..
Halima's decision is gratifying and certainly a good one
No her Muslim faith clashed with the industry not the other way around now it's had some attention and caused shit she's leaving it
The industry needed her approached her and accepted her terms and conditions.She was not desperate. Religion aside, people have on many occasions resigned for good and nobody questioned them, why can't she make her choic? I appreciate people who know what they want/need. Spiritual matters are paramount in life.
@@chukwuemerie Why didn't she go do in say Somalia Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan then if its her choice.....which it isn't she is compelled by the most patriarchal driven ideology on earth to wear the hijab
@@LICKSTERxx It is still her choice to be anywhere on earth she likes. She hasn't broken any laws. Am a Christian and she has not offended me. Pls leave her alone ,all of us must not be walking naked on the streets to show we are beautiful. She is SUPER BEAUTIFUL the way she dresses.
@@chukwuemerie 👏👏 THANK YOU ignorant people like these are everywhere
@@yoongibiased7090 Remain blessed.
Ah, the religion of peace

I wish my wife was beautiful like her.

Sieb you are more beautiful you are like an oasis in the hot desert
She is so beautiful!
Thommy is just awesome
Proud for our somali sisters making history and changing how ignorant people see the hijab
She came from humble beginnings to becoming a public figure and an advocate for her faith.
Oh lalala what an extraordinary girl ...she said the future is bright ...honestly, I have no specific word to describe her......look how many of us today able to just walk out from lucrative business just for the sake our faith and cultural background...in reality No one...I have great respect to her parents.
this is the first time I see her face clearly ,she is really beautiful, just like a Barbie there is also one black girl looks like a Barbie
Naa you messed that compliment up when you mentioned Barbie
Well it's all done now. Muslim model? Isnt this haram to put the temple of Allah on display for an audience?
Unlike you at least muslims don't put up with disrespect !
@@azakzaak1691 unlike me? I asked for clarity. I dont know too much about Islam.
@@damascusyana528 thanks for the clarity. Peace be upon you.
Excally my point her being a fashion model as a Muslim is as bizarre as seeing a nun in strip a club. You can not combine these two religious ideologies in environment which expolites and sexualises the female body it's pure hypocrisy
Temple of Allah?? What do you mean with that
She beautiful
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.
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 🤦🏿♀️
Give it a rest BBC 😴
Allah Said Short is the enjoyment of this world. The Hereafter is (far) better for him who fears Allah, and you shall not be dealt with unjustly even equal to the Fatila (a scalish thread in the long slit of a date-stone)
Let us be frank she knew what she was entering “ the first” Tommy Hilfigure lol controversial
But she was clear in her contact
You sound stupid
This woman is a victim of her religion not the fashion industry and I do not understand what the BBC is up to. It is not a "diversity" issue if people choose to put constraints upon themselves.
It tells you all you need to know about the woke cesspit of box-tickers that is the BBC. #defundthebbc
And you are victim of Assuming things by Yourself
Get a life dude
You are very beautiful sister ! I saw you in Dubai Modest Fashion week 🥰You so kind 🙌🏼My dream to creat my own brand for modest lady’s and bring good nice designs for covering sisters .
Masha Allah all somali girls are talented 🤣💎
Plz put maashaa Allah where it's supposed to be, the industry has exploited this young Lady,and yet you keep saying maashaa Allah,may Allah lighten your inner heart to see the tricks of shaytswan from far,
@@imranndal9493 hes obviously saying masha'Allah to her leaving behind that toxic industry.
Proud of her 🔥
If modelling allows us to wear well covered clothes I would definitely pursue it but unfortunately that’s not the case
Simply, Deen over Dunya❤🌹👊.
Huge numbers at the Freedom march in London yesterday. Incredible to see so many Britons standing up for their rights
I wish her all the best. This isn't just about islam or the hijab it's about diversity & women's rights so well done & keep it up.
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
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.
Is there a single day in which the BBC does not speak about sth related to Islam?
True, has been thinking the same
The BBC is the undisputed champion of woke, identity politics, although the majority of the people who are forced to fund it are not very impressed.
It's not only BBC. Almost all international & national channels hv various reports regarding the Muslim world & Islam. They are like wagons of a train. They keep coming & coming. Accept the fact that Islam & Muslims hv become an inevitable part of discussions all over the world, whethet positive or negative. You cannot escape from this fact. U might or might not hate it but u cannot stop its increaaing viewership & popularity. Ultimately, it's being propagated in all ways & one way is the media.
25% of world population
@@antiquesmore7083 i don't think Al Jazeera deals with welsh, portuguese or latvian issues.
What an naive thing she is and he's a phony. Isn't he the one who said he didn't want black people to wear his clothes? I'm from a Muslim family, all the people I love follow the faith closely (albeit with sense and wisdom) and even I know that you're not there to 'express yourself', you're there to be a vessel for the vision of the designer. If you can't do it, leave but don't try to change the industry. And the French burkha ban is totally appropriate given it's a violation of their social norms and their social contract, just as my Western ways would have been a violation when I lived in Abu Dhabi. In the Emirates, I wore local dress and fell in line with their customs. No wonder people around the world hate us so much. Some of the entitlement and arrogance of some members of our community shock even me.
When you enter a restaurant for example do you feel you may eat whatever they give you and may not demand any change if something is inconvenient for you to eat ? So even if you find a cockroach in your dish, you plan to remain silent ?
@@fiddah She's the cockroach in this scenario. No sane people irrespective of religion want entitlement, race-baiting and erosion of indigenous European cultures in fashion or otherwise. We moved to the West because we believe in the West, not because we wanted to impose our failing cultures on a better one.
That is what life is all about
