Answering your average Muslim Questions

[@CurlyProverbz]

Def wanna see more ... Coming from a Christian ... I would love to see more positive portrayals of your average muslim .... Average does not make the news - This work is so important.

[@jadeekrueger5499]

I completely agree with you (From another Christian)

[@epfizerdoolittleajl2165]

Curly Proverbz average does make the news, Dinas not average, Sid is though lol

[@umalification]

loved the series Dina and the different stories. I would really love for you to continue it as a regular series. As a Somali muslim, and a black muslim woman i wish you had more black muslim women in the series. If you were to continue the series just be more inclusive of all different kinds of muslim women. All in all i loved the series and appreciated you doing it, couldn't imagine anyone else doing it.

[@hagarh9065]

👌💯

[@CurlyProverbz]

So true what you were saying about mental health... Habiba recently opened up about her anxiety and everyone in her comment section was like .... Pray more this is because you are far from Allah.... Brah.... How do you even know? And how can you judge how much she prays and her walk and journey .... Please

[@abc23123]

Curly Proverbz yh I watched that video and it's crazy how much I relate to it

[@halimahbhikha6066]

Curly Proverbz That’s not how us muslims should be, and I apologise for those who said the comments; they should be supporting her instead of judging her, because in my opinion only God can judge

[@xsarahale9235]

I loved the whole concept behind the series. You presented it really well and showed how passionate you are about the subject. You and Sid have both done so much to highlight ‘the plight of the modern Muslim’ . Definitely want to see you presenting more! Well done lovely, be super proud of yourself of how much you have achieved. Really enjoyed this interview style...you two should be the next Holly and Phil hehe x

[@iqra7356]

So many videos in a week I'm proud dina this is heaven

[@aimans.6948]

Never would have been able to meet such cool women from all the over world. Such a cool fitting title #YourAverageMuslim. And such a good work. Thank you so much Dina. Thanks for normalising and making such a big scary issue so light-hearted with your way of speaking and your sense of humor. Keep it up. Love from Pakistan ❤

[@MikaHasan]

Exactly! ❤

[@aimans.6948]

Bill Ward hahaha don't know why this is so funny. Oh yeah she looks like that? Good for you. She doesn't to whole lot of a 'sensible' population not to some brainwashed orthodox narrow-minded atheist. And yeah? Muhammad was like that? Saturday nights? Haha I'm sure you were there enjoying it before you were brainwashed by maniac historians. Kiddos to you. Hope you find truth some day. And hope you learn to be more accepting than hating because you were taught to! Quran? Again I'll say may you find truth and learn how to accept diversity. :)

[@nasteehatkd1412]

Honestly loved the series!!! Hope there will be more 😊

[@abc23123]

Ikhlas TKD this is weird but I literally notice u in nearly all the videos I watch on KZbin 😂

[@imaanshop6618]

Really enjoyed this documentary. The women were truly inspiring. The Sofia episode touched me particularly as I have a family member in prison (for something this person didn’t do - long, twisted story 😔) and we do forget those incarcerated. Please continue this new venture in sharing what Muslim women are doing around the globe. I was discussing this recently that there are sooo many women outside of Instagram who don’t have thousands of followers or a verified page and they’re doing amazing things. We forget there’s a world outside of social media. You changed my perspective on breaking stereotype. You’re absolutely right. How long are we going to work on breaking this stereotype that the west has created and keep trying to prove ourselves. Thank you for utilizing your platform for inspiring young girls and oldies (me). This is different, refreshing and empowering. ❤️

[@Meyra97512]

The mental health thing is soo true. Literally many Muslims of the older generation believe that depression and anxiety can just be "prayed away" when they are severe illnesses that need medical attention and care. You wouldn't see someone bleeding and be like: "Just pray bro "

[@Sab.86]

Meyra soo true! I have depression and anxiety and epilepsy..... I was told by family in Pakistan that my epilepsy can be “cured” by dham........ like boo no! That’s not how it works.... 🙄😂

[@Zaihera.Ali96]

Dina's point on the club situation is the perfect way to explain how the hijab protects me from all types of temptation and sin. Wearing a headscarf adds responsibility.

[@xx-dm9fw]

Zainuba Ali you've said that nicely :)

[@sunpi]

This is going to be good

[@hannah_da2812]

sunsbookishgame #notificationsquad where u at lovebyou videos plz reply love you channel l am muslim to can anyone who sees this comment sub to me for a sun back and comment when your done

[@lastfirst2794]

sunsbookishgamesx Let me correct myself. The so-called “religious” guys like Ali Dawah and company, are completely obsessed with what women are wearing. Some go so fire and brimstone, it’s ridiculous! The young fun guys are great!

[@MarrianaSousa]

I already follow you for a while but as catholic myself I found so interesting the series you made, it really is importante to change mentalities and the way society views Muslims 😊 Great job Dina!

[@girlenchanted]

I think what you're doing is awesome. Saw this trending on twitter a couple of days ago but didn't realise you started it. Congrats

[@noorehira398]

I so appreciate your work, I am a big fan of Reza Aslan and i once heard him say that there should be shows, dramas, documentaries etc. that throw light on how an average Muslim is just like anyone in any community. This series is a prime example of that. Enjoyed it a lot! 👌👌

[@tini96]

New York City Channel and your religion is?

[@zaynabomran9928]

I can’t tell you how happy I am you’ve done this Dina. I’ve watched you for years mainly because I loved your honesty and no BS approach but these serious honestly should get a Oscar! Much needed and soooooo important for Muslims more than anyone to see. I’m so proud of you walahi. I’m not a family member but I feel so proud like you are my little sister and I’m watching you grow year after year from becoming a mother and wife to now an ambassador to Muslim women! I hope everyone shares this and it gets better and better. Again so proud of you! Xox

[@rorik.3842]

As a girl born and raised in the ME and a Muslim, When I tell my "European" friends, " oh I don't think I'm ready to get married yet... Oh I want to be independent first" they are like .. " AMAZING! That's VERY EUROPEAN ! your thoughts!!!" and I'm like .... Who ever said these things were even an "European" thing? .. when the world is WAY bigger than Europe?... Why can't my ideas or thoughts be about me? why do they "imagine" me doing that is breaking the rules.. when to me it's just ... normal .. to have such a choice?.. #YourAverageMuslim

[@hagarh9065]

Rori K. 👌💯

[@ayaabassi91]

This series of videos was simply amazing Dina , each episode had a great impact , and brought up so many things to think about , and I totally think that it was just the beginning , and you should differently go ahead and continue this series, and I believe that #YourAverageMuslim was absolutly the best way to do it , and wherever anyone would search you by far are the best one to shed the light on it and explore it , no one else could have this better tan you did , salute to you , and thank you from the heart for being who you are , for sharing these amazing stories , and spreading knowledge and trying to change some mindsets for the better , much love and support from Palestine , keep it up girl

[@AnRPeacex]

Please do continue this series. Absolutely love the concept and it is so relevant and needed.

[@yasminebouabdallah756]

Omg! Loved the series! I'm a Muslim, hijabi French girl living in Paris and I'm really just fed up to constantly trying to break the stereotypes of Muslim women! I totally agree with you videos. If this goes viral we can really go further together! Specially French me apple need to understand that a piece of fabric won't define our future as a bad or monotone future! We can work, be moms, go to uni, and have dreams, and projects..... We are normal! Again à piece of fabric won't transform us into monsters!!! I really really like your work dina please continue it #yourAverageMusim

[@happygoblin101]

I really enjoyed episode 4 as I work in legal field and this subject isn't spoken about. I would like to see this series continue.

[@Sym-ge9te]

happygoblin101 goblin.... the korean drama?

[@zaakirah7]

This series really touched me as #youraverageMuslim 💜 much love Dina. I love your new outlook on helping out further and I know you'll be awesome at whatever you try your hand at! You're fantastic and creative and I look forward to seeing more of #youraverageMuslim 😁😁💜

[@noorsyed1860]

Everytime i talk to my friends and family about having a bad mental health or anxiety problems they ask me "well, what was the last time you prayered? See exactly! Just pray and you'll get the peace you are looking for" indeed i pray i spend hours on the matt but sometimes it doesn't help so i ask them well now what I'm prayering? "Well did you pray with the right niyyat, you lack faith thats why it ain't helping" which increase my anxiety and depression even more thinking that i am a 'bad muslim' and Allah (swt) has gave up on me.

[@0SincerelyDae0]

I AM SO HAPPY to hear that someone notices the lack of respect there is for mental health practice in the Muslim community. I went to Egypt last year and for about a month and felt so anxious the entire time with all Al-sisi's Authoritative approach to handling the Egypt. I felt as though any moment a tank could fire my way and for something as tiny as taking a photo of it. The community of egyptians that have been tormented by Sisi are suffering so much and I noticed that they have developed defense mechanisms that while helpful at the moment, hopefully when Sisi's power diminishes their defense mechanisms will not be healthy. I have thought for a while that perhaps working with established egyptians in egypt to make mental health cool and or normal would be a great way to remedy Sisi's torment on the egyptian people. I am curious about your thoughts, though understand if you don't want to get involved in egyptian politics.

[@nkemani8372]

“I do sick TINGS” - I’m crying 😂

[@marzh3568]

So true about mental health in the muslim community!! I know some people who are devoted muslims yet still suffer from mental health issues like anxiety. I believe prayer may help to not make it so severe, but it doesn't cure it. You'd still need professional help along side spirituality. I also think that the negative image of muslims doesn't make it any easier for muslim women especially those who wear hijab. Almost all the hijabis I know are scared and anxious when they go out. That alongside your personal issues is just such a big burden and can really weigh you down.

[@servingtea8483]

As someone who suffers from anxiety praying 5 times a day isn’t necessarily a cure I would say it helps calm you down in the moment . Prayer always makes you feel peaceful but it isn’t the cure to mental health . People often always forget that God can answer your prayers and anything is possible with having faith in God. God has the power to cure our mental health .

[@FatimaRavat]

Seriously I loved the series needs to go on mainstream to you did a great job well done this is the side of dina I love to see

[@padlocksncocoapuffs]

Please continue this series, I loved watching it! Great job!

[@rachelsloan2536]

Dina! Yes you should definitely keep this series going! Masha'Allah this is wonderful

[@ladeeeeM]

I think that the media etc don’t want something like #youraveragemuslim to circulate as it ruins their mission to try and portray all of us as nutters. Let’s keep it circulating ladies (and gents) and show the haters how amazing so many of us are.

[@summayah4102]

Amina Jane Ishaq - ♥️

[@akllls617]

Lol shut up y'all do that all by yourselves

[@fluffymcdeath]

Ha! ANYONE who believes in an invisible sky being that runs everything from heaven is a bit of a nutter, but that's not just a Muslim thing. Lot's of different kinds of people don't know any better. Honestly, people deserve better education. Such a shame so much humanity and effort is wasted being afraid of, or trying to please, things that don't exist.

[@ladeeeeM]

fluffymcdeath I like your moustache, very nice. I’m a nutter with or without religion though hahahaha.

[@user-bi8eu1pl9s]

I completely understand what you mean by the club scenario and I 100% agree. That's what I was saying about it should 'stop you' from doing other things too such as dancing in public etc etc , the whole modest approach ygm , like there's a limit to everything as what you can and can't do

[@roaae4]

Dina very very well done. I watch the series after 7 mints of you posting it and i was AMAZED. I appreciate you. Please keep the project.

[@zinebchagour6390]

It would be really cool to see more episodes of your average muslim series

[@sarahda845]

just zineb yh would be nice if they continued

[@powerversusforceconsulting3027]

you are so amazing dina. i am so happy that you did this series. please continue and never stop.

[@sabirebaser3885]

i definitely want to see more about the series, thank you for doing them in the first place dina ❤

[@zentierra7803]

I do hope this series gets a chance to continue!

[@palwashahussain8087]

i really loved the series Dina. i think it was out of the box idea and you really presented it well...I LOVED EVERY EPISODE AND YOU GUYS WERE GENIUS COMING WITH THIS THEME. DALIA WAS AN AMAZING INSPIRATION FOR ME.

[@jinxx2528]

Yasss continue the series please. Would love it if the episodes could be a little longer

[@latefamenad828]

I liked the series so much...please keep up the good work .... It was fun and inspiring watching these young muslim women doing what they love to do without giving shit to anyone....just living their lives the way they want and showing that Hijab is not getting in anybody's way.....

[@niametomar1547]

I really like when you and Sid have your own kind off talk through out the video if if you know what I mean ❤️

[@saskiyahhhv]

I'm a new subscriber because of the series. Love it! Plus your awesome and hilarious. Currently in the process of watching all your videos on here and on the Sid and Dina channel 😍💕🙌🏼♥️

[@zahraagoolam-hussain601]

really loved this series, hope you get to continue it

[@ridhafameen1851]

YES PLEASE. It was such an inspiring series. I used to believe I'm pretty open-minded but I was shocked when I saw these women. So please make more videos like these!

[@ayaayousef4697]

You inspire me to be confident in Islam❤️

[@blemdelrey2038]

Love what your doing with this project, and how you are using your resources and platform to help ALL young muslim's be recognized as normal people, that excel in their hobbies and professions .... KEEPING GOING GIRL FUCK THE HATERZ

[@caseycronan9217]

It's great to hear how inspired you are following this project!

[@Miray.A]

Good job Dina and Sid I recently discovered you channel and really respect what you doing it so expiration for all Muslim women's.

[@ri9596]

The series was amazing, I loved seeing the different women and what they were doing. Would love to see more, I thought you did a great job

[@sumz1721]

Love how Dina puts her normal without makeup face out there without giving a damn.....inspiration right there🤗....hopefully everyone who's not so confident can be like her 🤗

[@lounagal2959]

Yes more of this series please, it's awesome !

[@sidrashah2023]

I loved the series, I wish there was more. 🤗

[@bewilde_]

No Dina shouting "HI GUYS" at the start of the video? This must be a serious video! 😏

[@kingwazz7710]

Bewilde Bro chill tf out, every youtuber says that lmfaoo

[@MrsEmily1235]

you didn't her obviously... Dina always says it in a very loud way and this time she didn't and please dont use cuss words

[@kingwazz7710]

MrsEmily1235 Who me?

[@SammY-ue4yv]

She’s removed that fake persona

[@davisdavis546]

A hi to my non Muslim viewers and Asalamu عalaikum to my fellow Ikhwan wa Akhwat would be better

[@hananadel1227]

you are such an inspiration to anyone that watches your videos

[@amberlol7]

Amazing - I wish I could watch a full length documentary by you, it'd be fascinating. You're a really inspiring filmmaker actually, it's making me want to start foraging into doing these kinds of things as well. Thanks for giving me an insight into the average muslim.

[@Miray.A]

Keep going I usually don't like or comment in videos but I feel so good to support your channel.

[@ripstar12]

yes!!! more please, it is a brilliant series!

[@EsaChinita]

"She owns the gym. Well, she doesn't really OWN the gym, but she owns the gym." Hahaha! Dina we love you!

[@raeperonneau4941]

I hope that there are more episodes! The discussion in the first episode is what caught me. You and Tsui (sp?) were saying the same things that my female friends and I have been saying all of our lives (and I’m 52). It’s kind of boring that we’re still having this conversation. To be fair, it seems like both of your husbands, your Father, and brothers, are super enlightened men... but they are men. Lol. The lens you’re given determines your perception. There was a time in history that required men to take care of, or be superior to, women but that time has long since past. Women of all faiths have evolved because we had to...it’s time for our men to catch up.

[@maedehni7135]

It's so exciting to watch you being so inspired. I would love you to continue this project if you have the resources to show us all the great people you have in your list. Please use this momentum and do what you're inspired to do (with Sofia). I can see the potential in you. Best of luck.

[@czaderka87]

I really loved the series, you did a really great job!

[@Bl0odDot]

I could really relate to what she was trying to say about clubs and the hijab. I excited for you Dina but I think you would have a wider audience if you included Muslim men and their struggles too in your vision for these series..way to go. I am proud of you.

[@tinafarris3483]

I hope that you do continue the series and I think if you explored a career or volunteer work with youth it would be a very positive experience for you and them!

[@terripetersen5436]

I'm here nodding my head all the way through the video. Yasssss Dina

[@mehnoorfatima5119]

I would like to see more of this series! Great Job

[@missunderratedcat]

I loved the series! And I get what you mean about how you felt about Sofia and her work. I agree with you 100% on Mental Health in the Islamic community and as a student studying Psychology I'd love if yourself or anyone browsing the comments knew of someone/organisation that looks into working with people around this topic. I'd be happy to listen and take part in something that can change others lives.

[@CallMeSof]

Yes please continue the series!

[@amalhoran]

thank u for doing this for muslims all around the world!!!!! i hope all is well for u & ur family dina :-)

[@iamyvettehenry]

I loved it... I really did. It offered so much insight into the Average Muslims life. Excellent work! The Women are so inspiring... MORE PLEASE, MORE.

[@larebnaseem]

Could not agree more, honestly so sick of having to 'prove we're normal' or 'prove' anything it's ridiculous. Just let us be ourselves without having this pressure on our back regarding 'representing' a minority - it doesn't always have to be we're doing it for Islam more so for ourselves... We just happen to be Muslim too.

[@franzymadm999]

Dina that’s awesome 👏 the whole project is great!!! And i also can relate to your idea about why we wear hijab. I also feel that my hijab does protect me from doing certain things - it’s a blessing and a reminder. Keep up the great work!

[@sbegum29]

This was nice to see they did a good thing approaching dina !! Xx

[@ayaaya-xx4ut]

proud of you! keep the series going😍

[@YaraxMS]

Please continue these series!!!

[@zeexox5339]

I don't know what to comment literally, so proud of you Dina. I have been watching you ever since I discovered KZbin and I can say I wouldn't have been the woman I am today if it wasn't for a lot of things and that includes you. Much love ❤❤❤

[@saabrachaudary6594]

PLEASE do a continuation of the series!!! i hope you bring noor tagouri into it as well :~) LOVE the series and love you a lot. thank you for making #youraveragemuslim, we needed this!

Id love it if you did more of this series

[@_NazzleDazzle]

I haven't seen much of this video yet but I really like this girl! she seems really down to earth :)

[@jadeekrueger5499]

My friend and I break so many stereotypes, I am Christian and she is a Muslim Hijabi. I've been friend's with her only for a week but she's brought me back into my faith with God and it's so nice for me to have someone to talk to me about religion. I can ask her to pray for myself or people I know and she can ask me and I will. I really like being able to talk to someone about my faith and not have someone look at me like I'm crazy or blow it off like it's no big deal or get annoyed (when they bring it up)

[@aurorasnightsavers]

Wow. That Egyptian really came out in the pronunciation of Khadija 😂. I LOVE THIS SERIES!! Amazing job I wish they were longer

[@amnarahim8402]

Oh I loved it so much, totally inspired to make a difference also. Well done Dina! Xxx

MashAllah great cause! Really happy to see Muslims in general and Muslim Women specifically are both being celebrated and shown in a positive light. 100% agree with the meaning of #YourAverageMuslim. Muslims do amazing things everyday just like everybody else, just like your average person. Keep up the great work MashAllah!

[@sunshinefarah317]

Salaam! I am a second year medical student from New York and I plan on becoming a psychiatrist and mental health advocate for the Muslim and broader community once I finish school and residency iA. I just wanted to express how much I appreciate and admire the brave work that you do every day. I just watched your Creators for Change videos and they made me so happy! Your videos give so many people so much life and I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for helping make this doubtful Muslim girl unafraid of being unapologetically herself as she sees patients and goes out into a post-Trump world that doesn’t know what to make of her. Thank you for bringing back a sense of empowerment and feminism to the scarf and to being a woman. Thank you for being so incredibly, unapologetically you. That is such an act of courage and you inspire more people than you know. Please keep doing what you are doing, there are so many of us that are rooting for you and eagerly supporting you in all of your endeavors. I send virtual hugs and lots of dua to you and your wonderful family. Please keep on being a boss lady and being you!

[@Ha00an]

I really liked the concept behind #YourAverageMuslim, would love to see you continue this series!!! Especially more insight into the muslim women in prison program.

[@linabekkouche9571]

LOVED every piece of it !!!!

[@cindyrivera2844]

Really loved the serious! As a non-muslim it really gave me an input on muslim women. I really hope this series gets covered by the news to spread positivity about Islam.

[@amala1874]

The series needs another thousand episodes please 👍👍👍

[@sbegum29]
