High Street Hijabis

Ex-Girls Aloud member Nicola Roberts and Muslim style vlogger Nabiilabee explore what modest fashion is for young Muslim women who want to be fashionable and follow their faith.

as a muslim, I can't even describe how happy, thankful and great I am with positive comments from others :) cheersss ~~~

[@Fat0ush98]

who said we don't wear colors in Saudi Arabia fam, black is just the common color but we do wear colors

[@thrustvectoring8120]

black is not a color, black is an absence of a color... Because color is defined as the wavelength of light you precieve and black is when there is no light, hence there is no wavelength to talk about, hence black is not a color. It is not considered to be a color.

[@sweetlikesugar8156]

I think she meant the outside in the streets women can't dress colors in ksa

[@Misscoc02]

Sweet Like Sugar no that's wrong,, I see in Saudi Arabia lots of people wearing different colours of abaya!!!

[@Misscoc02]

Nowadays

[@Fat0ush98]

Sweet Like Sugar I know exactly what she meant, and I feel offended seeing the way you're talking to me like I'm dumb or something lol. women wear coloured abayas outside...

[@bridgetnash1980]

I liked this alot. It was informative for me as a Christian to see what the Muslim women in the west do on a daily basis and our beliefs may be different but it was still nice to learn about them a bit.

[@Mari-kv7ck]

That's great. I'm Muslim and I'm also interested in different cultures and how other people do things.peace and love

[@jumanaahmed716]

I really like you if that's how you think. If only others think like that. Just because we have different holy books and somewhat different beliefs doesn't mean we have to be sworn enemies.

[@user-ww2lc1yo9c]

If Christian women lived by the bible, they will be almost identical to Muslim women in their dress code and behaviour.

I will say that Nicola sounds so uninterested and bored. She seemed tired the whole time, which is unfortunate because this is such an interesting topic :(

[@maysal2801]

***** tbf, she seems to very dry always.... think that's just her personality :P ;p

Yeah no I dont know who she is from anywhere else but this video. If that's so, that's just sad :/

[@MrTopgear88]

[@PeaceCharmer]

+Natasha O I think she just doesn't have a great radio voice; she tends to sound kind of monotone when speaking... I don't think it means she was uninterested

[@XOMoonlightXO]

Empyrian She just SOUNDSS uninterested. Im sure she was!

[@albeenaallifa9516]

When she's like "wonder if she picks anything up and she really likes it but she knows that it's not accepted" what she meant was that if Muslim women pick something that's revealing (tight,skimpy) and like it, they won't buy it cause it isn't accepted. But in Islam, we are supposed to cover ourselves in front of males and not females. We can wear shorts,sleeve less and tight in front of women. I do- we go to girl, lady parties and wear whatever we want and after coming out, we wear abayas....

[@toBe8ere]

wow that's really interesting! i think the closest western women/girls could come to that is when we "want to let our hair down" so to speak and not have to worry about dressing up for anyone and just wear sweats, gym clothes and pajamas, hanging out with the girls and pigging out, and watching romcoms

[@ghazlalazmi4456]

+Michelle Miyazato in my country we have alot of girls parties, we take of the hijab and wear whatever we want. Just like whene Western girls go clubbing and stuff.

[@sarahallo5147]

but to much Muslime have Not money for mode. in islam haram you have to much chlother Different muslime have Not money for makeup hijab and shos and chlothers

[@habeebahtahir]

I really loved watching this, it feels good to have someone understand the way Nicola did. I wouldn't expect a non hijabi to understand why or how we wear it or the modest dress struggle in high street stores so this gives me hope. Forwarding this to my friends and family for sure! Thanks Radio 1 :)

Its always brilliant to see how other cultures are impacted by fashion. I would love to see more on this!

[@AntoniaBeese]

Would everyone just for once stop complaining? Just for once. Yes it was awkward at times, yes Nicola didn't explain the entire meaning of hijab (that could a full length movie all by itself) but just chose to maybe not overwhelm the non-muslim viewers and said its the head dress, which still is the most obvious and eyecatching thing about being a hijabi. Yes there were problematic scenes but for crying out loud it was probably the first real experience she had made with Islam. Our religion commands us to look for good and represent Islam in a positive way, but yet when anything like this turns up i's just open season on whatever this person has done wrong this time and that time. We know this video as opposed to many, many others was not meant to bash or judge us so why do I not see appreciative comments? This video is a great start on exchanging believes and values and understanding each other better. Now I know in the light of everything that we face, this may seem like a drop in the ocean but the thing is Islamic values are new to western countries. This does not condone hatred or discrimination but guess what when a society had more or less all agreed on this is the way to live, dress and believe in and then someone comes along and says that he believes something totally different, a little bit of "Why though", "How come", "I don't understand" is normal. I had to learn this the hard way when I reverted to Islam 4 years ago. None of us have to take discrimination, but honestly, right now a bit of patience with the people that make an effort to understand/mediate between our cultures and faiths would be in order.

[@silkef2616]

well said!

Yay saima!!! Very nice piece. And I appreciate the interview with the Islamic scholar.

[@zahraa3748]

This was awesome! Loved how modest you all looked and I loved the speeches that were said. My favourite bloggers were all together ☺️💁 fabulous job girls❤️

[@cameroonbeauty4ever]

wow that was nice! I really appreciate the presenter's effort in sheding light on hijab and its different facades in the muslim women community. I agree 100% with the scholar... "hijab fashion" can help young muslimah to transition into a hijab lifestyle, but we should not forget that it is an act of worship, something that must draw us near to Allah. I'm so proud to see that a niqabi sister (and female scolar) was interviewed... Really appreciate that. ♥ :)

[@sweetlikesugar8156]

I really enjoyed this vid and I was searching for this kinda topics that I m really interested in and finally found it, thank u for doing this reportage abt the hijab fashion style or whatever and nabila i'm very proud of u you're such an inspiration to me

[@elainebmack]

Modesty is beauty and comfort combined. I love the Muslim style, and appreciated it very much during my years in Saudi Arabia.

[@samahamara8543]

well it is really hard to especially try to match the colours and how you face looks with certain scarfs , but heaven has to be deserved , it's worth it at the end and on the psychological and even social context , because you win a peace of mind and comfort ! you feel looking like a very good type of girl , so pure and u'd be happy to see how it reflects your personality and pureness , and socially , you feel respected , you won't find anyone looking at your back (you know what mean) all the bad guys will stay away , it is just a God blessing , i see why he asked us to , it's for nothing but our benefit and interest :D i look like Nabila 's type of Hijabi

[@maryamalghazali2909]

We demand something like these shops in America is really hard to find clothes

[@BrokenWindoWx3]

Well everyone does have their own definition of modesty yes, but when you're a muslim you follow the Qurans definition not your own interpretation or desires. May Allah guide us. That's not the correct Hijaab. But however what they said about the Hijaab being how you act as well is something i can agree with.

[@alphafish4756]

Nabila and that abaya girl had proper hijab to an extent

[@alphafish4756]

@b king shut up

[@rick-pv5mz]

I don't understand what was wrong with their hijab. as long as they are covering their hair and neck using their hijab, it is fine.

[@luciekatz6160]

@RoadKillzine when you are ignorant you don't educate yourself you are rambling in the internet.

[@shahdalali7999]

Brother/sister, the quran is open to interpretation. I completely agree that there is only one way for the hijab, but that doesn’t dismiss the fact that a lot of verses are open for interpretation

[@iffatsultana5295]

I love the fact that you were open minded Nicola that's amazing. this is how we will break the barriers and understand each other is if we ask questions. well done xx

[@jumanaahmed716]

I love this. It's good to finally find some references to look to on how to dress up when I grow up a little and start wearing the hijab.

This was great. Really interesting. And Nicola Roberts is sooo beautiful. Definitely the most under-rated of Girls Aloud but my favorite from the first audition back in the day. She is so original. Also love the intelligent questions she asked the girls and how genuinely interested in the whole topic.

Why u got a problem with hijabis

[@UnknownPerson-cw6cg]

Why u got a problem with hijabis

[@NadiaAli1]

I don't understand why Nicola found it so hard? The girl only said loose fitted/covering up to the wrist and ankles - a pair of trousers, a loose top and a jacket + those scarves would have been fine??

[@shahdalali7999]

Ummm cause in western nonmuslim countries it is reaaalllllyyyy hard to find modest outfits

[@NadiaAli1]

Shahd Al-Ali in today’s age? Strongly disagree, modest fashion is everywhere now. It’s so much easier than it was 4 years ago when everything had a slit on the skirt and people wore shorter, tighter things more. Now it’s a lot easier to find longer modest lengths

[@shahdalali7999]

Nadia Ali idk maybe the specific area that they live in doesn’t have that, or the store they went to doesn’t have modest clothing. You may never know, and also my muslimah friend from the UK (from sheffield specifically) always tells me how hard it is for her to find good modest clothes

[@aliyarkhan4631]

Hi nadia💕

[@DearAliya]

This entire video felt so awkward and dull, mainly because of the presenter.

[@arlondon2434]

i think Nicola was fine, yeah ok if she found it awkward and boring still nice to see young mainstream celeb doing this

Beautiful women. Really enjoyed this video and a big fan of modesty :-)

[@inesfoidl]

this was informative and great fun to watch

[@digitaladdikt]

genuine question...If the real purpose of wearing a Hijab is to avoid temptaton from a man looking/perving on that woman (seeing as in the Muslim faith one should not "look" at a woman who is not his wife); what is the actual purpose behind covering up, yet packing on the makeup?

[@fasogeeek]

True. That's why its not actually allowed to wear makeup outside, yet we all do it. Muslims today are very much laid back when it comes to their religion.

[@gerrardandeminem]

Make-up isn't allowed and so isn't a whole lot of things in this video. Except for your husband

[@fasogeeek]

[@sparklecaulipurple1057]

Proud Muslim ❤️✊🏿

[@KoriEmerson]

One of the things I wish they would speak about is that Modesty isn't just being a Hijabi. I'm Mormon. I have to have sleeve over my shoulder things to the knee.. nothing too tight. We don't wrap our hair or cover it . But no cleavage ect. I love that modesty is coming to the forefront of fashion. But I wish that people would look at those who aren't Muslim as well

[@luvsaarr]

Christians are to cover hair!

[@UlyaMaulida]

actually I've been wearing trousers with hijab like almost everyday, it's just about the trousers, you can wear some wide trousers or sometimes I also wear pipe jeans with long top (reaching the knee) just like what nabila did with the green outfit. actually we can also wear sleeveless or even crop top (not the thight ones tho), it's just about how do we style it. Sleveless top with super long cardigan, and crop top with high waisted maxi skirt that could works

[@esecallum]

its funny that they don't want attention from male! but putting on makeup which popped out of the scurf, made it more visible and wearing the non regular cloths among the western people, they are actually grabbing more attention from the people! and more over they've got pretty figure and faces! if you are so devoted and don't want attention then wear the actual burkha like in saudi, afghanistan etc! but by that way also you would gain massive attention though nobody will be able to see your face! so the best way for not being noticed as they want, is to dress as normally as others do and don't wear makeup! nobody will see you! i'm not just getting your point!

[@husnainali8349]

Modesty is not just about your outer clothing,it's also about your mind and behaviour.

[@laurennoorah9716]

This documentary is awesome, it is nice that a celebrity took the time to do this and try and increase her knowledge on Muslims! In islam we are supposed to support others and not judge and 'backbite'. To some this may not be hijab, but do you know these sisters intentions or their haya within, do you know their relationship with god? who are you to comment on their appearance. As humans we are not perfect and every one is on a journey, commenting belittling comments will not help the ummah or the representation of muslims. Muslims face enough discrimination in society, without their own ummah knocking them down. Please be careful of your actions and what you say, you never know what a person is going through. Salaam Alaykum ( peace be with you)

[@alhassan5623]

What Nicola said got to me, lots of times I want to buy stuff but I just can't because they are not modest enough to wear. Once in a while I would by something that i can't wear outside like shorts or cropped shirts and just wear it in my house, but then I have to be careful of when my dad is home. Not that it is against our religion, but we are just not used to it and he would say that I'm trying to copy non Muslim life style. Anyways, it used to be a struggle at first, but since I never got attached to wearing revealing clothes it isn't hard to ignore them.
