Hi Guys,
Todays video is going to be very different than what you're used to. I'm here to help you and to be your friend, that's why I made this video. I'm telling you my story and my struggles. Keep in mind, some people have no struggles at all while wearing the hijab and some people have more. I hope this helps you to make the right choice for you.
Lots of love

i'm 17 and i started wearing hijab this year around november. i feel so different. sometimes, i feel like taking it off but i'm glad i'm not the only one feeling this way. as much as i love straightening and styling my hair, i love Allah more. that is why i started wearing hijab now. (:

[@irazai9800]

I felt that as well when I started. You just need to get use to it! MashAllah you seem like a strong, faithful girl!

[@tengkuharyani8599]

sarah winchester thank you! :)

[@tengkuharyani8599]

Asma Bellounis of course i do. I dont have pictures of me wearing hijab on my laptop. But thanks for remindng me that i have to change picture though

[@tengkuharyani8599]

Asma Bellounis just changed it :)

[@tengkuharyani8599]

Asma Bellounis well i dont see it?

I can't even begin to explain how amazing this video is. I live is Norway, where fashion is everything, money and branded clothes are displayed and you're looked down at if you're not as "fashionable". For a long time I've given fashion and style my attention, and just been a muslim by name, not by heart. But recently I've got into Islam, alot like you've described in your story, and I'm InshaAllah going to start wearing a hijab when I'm done with this shit school I now attend. I'm going to give up my skin-tight jeans, and those figure-showing outfits. I'm going to stop trying to please the people around me, and instead try to please Allah. Thank you so much for this video, it was the last push I needed towards Allah and the right path. I've seriously been crying whilst watching your video, you're incredible and I'm thankful to Allah for stumbling upon your channel. Thank you sister, I'll always remember your words, and your strength.

[@Leelee12211]

omg i know how you feel like about fashion is everything and money stuff i live in america i hate it tho but i want to start wearing a hijab because recently i got into islam and things like that the struggle right but allah is there for us and we will be look upon by allah bless you

[@hafsa7624]

zayn malik well spoken girl.....may ALLAH help us all

[@alina9614]

Salam sisters please read this story thank you . Im 12 years old and on July 3rd i turn 13. This ramadan marks my 3rd year wearing hijab. I started when i was 10 and in 5th grade. At first i used to wrap it in a way that my neck showed and i would cover up except my neck. I was the only hijabi In the entire school. I was really scared cause i was so young but please remember that it was my choice to wear hijab. A lot of people thought i would quit after like 6 months. I have lasted 3 years and I'm still going strong. I now cover my neck thanks to ruba. She is such an inspiration to me. Im telling my story becuase i live in america and some people aren't as accepting as others. Hijab is so wonderful when i go outside for like one minute to go take out the trash and i dont have hijab on i feel naked. Please dont let anyone force you to wear hijab becuase you need to do it for the right reasons and you need to want to do it. Thank you so much for reading my story @rubazai

[@lostcause8486]

Before I say anything, I am not saying what you went through is not bad. It is! I converted in the south (USA) and it almost cost me my life more than once. Everything was ok when nobody knew I was Muslim. Once I covered my hair the lady next door cut my break line in my car, my kid's school nurse was calling child protective services, telling them I beat them so they would take them. The lady from child protective services told me she WANTED to take them, even with no signs of abuse, because teaching them Islam is abuse and they need a good Christian family. A man spit on me in a sprint store, and everyone there stood looking at me. Not to help, but I think to see if I would do something back like they think all Muslims will do. A man ran a red light at hit me and three other cars, but the cops took ALL OF US to the side and made us all agree that I caused the wreck or I would be arrested. I finally moved to California, where around half the women I see wear Hijab. It is not easy to wear Hijab, but even in the south, there is no way anyone can get me to take it off. These bad things are a est from God, so be happy when it happens, and do the right thing. Don't let anyone push you to take it off if you know in your heart that is what you truly want. Besides, if it gets too bad, there is nothing stopping any adult (not in prison) from moving to a better place. Although kids never have it too easy. I feel bad for all girls that have dealt with discrimination, but being tested by God means he loves you and wants you to do right.

[@queenapril0009]

That is TRULY awful that people treated you like that. I am a non-Muslim that lives in the Southern USA and I notice people having completely wrong ideas about the Islam religion. I respect all religions equally and it angers me when people say things when they don't know anything at all. Like, who are they to speak for over a billion people? I tend to see a lot of hatred from people whose parents or family are/were in the military- confusing, you would think they would be more aware. I try to speak up for Islam in the truest point of view to stop those who say awful things about it, because love needs to be spread more than lies and hatred. I am truly sorry that you experienced this here :( Unfortunately, I am not surprised, which says a lot about society here.

[@queenapril0009]

Anisha Ahmed Thank you for the kind words!

[@habibayoussef5272]

I am 13 and i started wearing hijab since i was 9.I live in california and i have also faced many problems although i am very young.Sometimes whenever people see me they call me crazy or even terrorist.I was once in a store and a lady came running into me with the cart i was about to break my leg because she ran into me really hard and whenever she hit me she was like thats what you get.I turned around and i told her that our religion does not allow us to harm anyone and its very clear how respectable you are and how rude too.I know at that point i was extremely mad and i shouldnt have told her that.I know that i am young but i have friends and family that always support me alhamdulillah.I advise all the girls to never take their hijab off even if it costs our life.I also learned that you should be around people who support you not people who make you feel down and not proud of your religion.Our religion is the true religion and its the fairest religion ever.I am very proud that i am a muslim and that you soooooo much Ruba for your awesome videos and your great personality you always inspire me to be a better muslim.Thank you so much

[@ruksanakhalid8233]

Mashallah you're a walking ayah on the streets of holland. Utmost respect for you for sharing your struggles. You're representing islam in a beautiful way and us sisters are united in your struggles. Hijab is our crown and our shield from negatively that we face. Every struggle is seen my Allah swt he will reward your ever footstep. Xxx

[@PeacheSncuM]

This video is truly inspiring... I am a brand new muslim and am learning slowly about just the basics and it scares me to think of how people may treat me when I finally have the courage to wear my hijab all the time. I have worn it to the mosque and once before I converted just to see if there was any difference. I personally know many ill educated people here in America and they get their "knowledge" from the media which makes me so sad. I have always been the type to research things I hear if it sounds harsh or even if it doesn't I check multiple sources. Alhamdulillih that my mom, and my dad and even step mom are all open to my decision to convert. They are all Christians and because of the vast ignorance spread in America about Islam, they have asked me some questions I knew they would eventually ask such as, "Will you cover your head all the time?" (eventually when I am ready) "Are you still going to celebrate the holidays with us?" (you are still my family and I will be with you even if I don't believe what you believe anymore) "Is Islam as violent as it seems?" (No!!!) I am happy to answer all their questions because I know they care about me and just want the best for me, though they do not know much about Islam. I made the decision to stop drinking and smoking and I am very proud of that. The biggest step for a woman I feel is getting to the place where you really do put Allah before everything else including other people's opinions. I think the hijab is a beautiful sign of virtue and loyalty. It takes a lot of courage to wear it especially in countries that are predominantly Christian such as the US. Girls I went to school with who I thought were fine people have come to show actual hostility towards Islam and that is something I will have to face when I finally show the world I am ready to devote my being to Allah in the presence of people such as these. Right now I don't have the strength but I pray for the day when I will have the strength to wear it everyday and not be afraid anymore.

[@zalmamaroc14]

Je hebt mij echt geïnspireerd. Ik sta nu ook op het punt om een hoofddoek te dragen. Ik woon ook in een klein dorpje met weinig allochtonen en zit ook op een kleine school. Ik ben ook vaak gediscrimineerd en ik weet hoe het is. Ik ben zo blij hoe jij er nu tegen aan kijkt. Moge Allah je helpen bij alles en jou zegenen voor jouw goede daden. Ben echt trots op je ! Xx Salma

[@vaniliasoul5365]

i'm gonna get maried soon and my fiancé told me once that i would look more beautiful if i wear hijab and watching ur video just made me think about wearing it not only for him ofcorse also for my allah and am so glad am doing shopping and i just feel happy when ever i find a section about those beautiful scarfs omg ... am really so excited and i wanna surprise him when i him came from oversease :) thanks a lot to u, your really a goood insperation

[@zc3235]

I'm going to year 7 inshallah and I'm wearing a scarf- I don't care what anyone says I'm doing it for Allah no one else!! You were a great inspiration ruba x

[@soumia9039]

I realy love you and love the way you think, i'm a muslim girl, i live in an islamic country hamdoulillah , and i knew from your video and other viedos how hard it" seems" to keep bieng a good muslima in a non-islamic country, but this what made you more proud of your relegion... i wish all the best for you and keep going :) sorry for my bad english

[@Pufy93]

Hi! I need to congratulation you about your thinking, very mature. If we will care about another people opinion, we will just forgot that our opinion actually matters. I have never known that muslim women aren't urge to wear hijab. I'm orthodox, so I don't know a lot about you religion and I always think that you must wear it, but I'm happy to find out that it's your own choice to wear or not a hijab. All good, God bless you!

[@khantariq4137]

Sister, you may get surprised to know that All the major religions suggest woman to cover their body modestly. Even in the Bible (new Testament). Bible even sets punishment for not wearing hijab or head cover if you may call it. Ref: 1 Corinthians Ch.11, Vrs.5-6 In islam the concept of Hijab is to obey God's commandment, to identify ourselves, to look and be treated decently and to protect and honor our woman. Peace and blessings of Allah (God Almighty) be upon you and all. Good Luck Sister!

[@Lisaisacutie]

you go girl! wearing a hijab is a decision every Muslimah struggles with . Im happy for your

[@wallsup_wallsdown]

Asalamualikum! I really needed to hear this. I've been going through some struggles as well, and it's really been hard to balance everything. Thank you sister for this inspirational message. I've realized all over again why I decided to wear the hijab and how it changed my perspective on life, my respect for Islam, myself and the people around me.

[@maryammirzah2754]

I cried while watching this. It's related to me soo much. We both have faced the same difficulties. My friends stopped talking to me, hanging out with me because of my headscarf.

[@iCamokazi143]

InshaAllah I will wear my own hijab soon. MashAllah! You're wonderful! Great job for sticking up for yourself. I have never talked about a hijabi.

[@Sam-uv7wv]

MASHALLAH I couldn't have said more..I'm 15 n MASHALLAH I started wearing when I was 12 it was my decision ... MASHALLAH I was never forced n my parents r really of me wearing if.. But they never force me MASHALLAH .... it was The BEST decision of my life.... I love uuuuu.....so inspirational.....

[@summaiyarobi4915]

ruba u go gurl!!!!!! im so proud of u for being so brave u hv been through alot I loved ur vid u r a beautiful girl inside out

[@BrokenDollyTV]

This video is FIRE! (that's black american slang for AWESOME!) i CAN'T Believe the crazy stuff they were trying to teach in your school about Islam. Ugh, Americans are pretty bad about misleading ppl against Islam and other cultures too. I don't wear Hijab(yet) and my husband definitely isn't pressuring me. I feel so encouraged by this vid because you really spelled it out clearly. No One can force anyone to do anything. It's all between us and Allah and we have to be ready to take certain steps in our walk of faith in order to do certain things. Such a great vid Sister. Thank you. (btw, i was watching your hijab tutorials to get ideas for how to create hijab for my new converted Barbie Doll.LOL)

[@shaymajamal845]

Hey Ruba, this video is so inspirational. I'm about to go into middle school now and I was still thinking deeply about my decision. When I found this video I was so inspired by your story. Alhamdullilah I live in a Muslim country so I'm extremely lucky. People like you are the kind of inspirational Muslims that change the world.😌MashAllah

[@humairaali9943]

Hi, my name is Humaira i understand what you are saying becuz i started wearing a scarf when i was 13 in the uk. I felt really wierd and i wanted to take my hijab off so badly but Thank You Allah for giving me strenghth to overcome this. Inshallah to all you muslims struggling to wear a headscarf. Allah will guide you🙏

[@siropiasta2101]

Amazing Video ! God Bless you I suffer for the same reasons here in Greece ... the second year now after University as a Pharmacist with no job , lost most of my friends and more and more :( but never thought a moment to take it off !! im proud of it and im doing it for my self .. for Allah . I say to all girls who are in the same situation , dont give up and do it for Allah ! screw what everyone thinks and how they look at you :) Thanks Ruba Zai for the video .

[@MissMirry1]

Hi, i also live in Holland. I tottaly agree with the fact that they discriminath you alot. And not only student but also teacherss. Im a muslima and dont wear a hijab but as soon as possible whe are gonna go to Kurdistan and live there and I hope to start there. People could you please make du'a that i become a great muslima. I hoop we all come and meet each other in Jannah ;)

[@dileenbarwary863]

Mirjam Kurd Inshallah may you wear the hijab Mirjam, I am Kurdish too and am 12 years old. I am not only confident to wear the hijab next year but also grateful to know how to please Allah as a women. I live in Australia, Melbourne where it is a very multi-cultural city with so many muslims, which makes me as a person that believes in Islam, proud.

[@miriamk2959]

Mirjam kurd, salamu alaikum rahmatullah barakatuhu May Allah bless and guide you upon the straight path and allow you to enter His paradise Ameen

[@nidiashalabi2036]

Your honesty is sooooo inspiring and you are so adorable. Who would turn you away as a friend? I too feel insecure when I wear hijab and it feels good to know you felt that way and you grew into confidence. I think the reason you don't care about others judging you is because you yourself are not a judgmental person. Stay yourself always... You are truly an inspiration...

[@hijabhills]

Hey doll, thankyou for your comments. I really like getting comment like these :) wonderful to see that there are people out there who don't just judge islam by what the media shows. We wear the hijab because we believe that a woman should hide her beauty, her beauty is not for everyone to be seen.

[@hafsathakur4794]

I started wearing a scarf at the beginning of secondary school but I stopped wearing it when I changed schools (to go to a only girls school) because people judged me a lot at my mixed school. And the fact that I was moving to a only girls school only supported my idea but I have decided from September (the beginning of this school year) I am going to start to wear a scarf again :) I am going into year 9 :) Thank you for inspiring me to wear it again :)

[@mariamamr9823]

You should start doing it as long as you believe in it Don't mind people words

You have a great attitude about non-judgment and following your heart. Thank you for sharing this. : )

[@sarahs1417]

[@awsomeness20002006]

Xxmakeupisawesomexx Alhamdulillah I've been wearing the hijab since grade 1, and I LOVE it! It makes me feel safe and secure, like someone's protecting me, I guess that's the main objective of the hijab, to protect from the bad eyes of this world. People do ask why I wear "this cloth" on my head, and I give them my religious reasons and they respect that Alhamdulillah. When I was in elementary school people even asked me if I have hair underneath the hijab hahaha... but tbh don't worry about it, Insh'Allah the hijab will define you in a positive way as a Muslim! Stay Blessed x

[@ameliak1210]

I loved what you said about non-hajibs not wanting to wear it because they think if they wanna do it they wanna do it better than other hijabs yet they keep waiting instead of starting at the moment. Great video, amazing advices, greetings!

[@zebra5678963212]

You speak so truthfully alhumdulillah and I can totally understand what you've been through- When i started wearing the hijab i noticed how a lot of 'friends' who i thought i was close to started treating me differently.I think by wearing it and noticing how people react helps me to see who the two-faced people are. You have such a good heart and may Allah bless you♥♥

[@firozehossainzada9068]

I think we both have the same kind of stories. No one is force to wear hijab or judge others. I'm 16 and I just start wearing hijab about 5 month ago. Sometimes Shaytan tells me to take it off or just live like others, because there's a lot of people who bother me, even that I live in a free country. But I like to wear hijab, because this world is not forever, and I hope Allah forgive all of us. PEACE

[@mooey87]

Love this. Thumbs up. Good on u sis. I started wearing the hijab last Ramadhan and its the best decision i ever made. Alhumdulillah.

[@vaneluvsyuh]

Hi sister u r very inspiring I too am the first one to wear the hijab in my family and yes it is a struggle epecially if u liv in a small town but Allah Almighty also gives u the strength to battle these situations I hope u all the best with ur future and I hope all us hijabis will one day be known for who we truly are and not for what we are judged

[@nonodheya]

You hejabi girls who live in non moslim contries are so sooooo strong and brave and proud of your islam,seriously i look up to you.

[@JustAGirlThing-wj6ih]

+nono dheya Awwh this is so cute!

[@melediv]

You look really beautiful and amazing with the hijab. The hijab makes the inner beauty of a woman come out and surpasses the outer beauty. I have a big respect and appreciation for girls that chose to conceal their hair in a hijab or headscarf. (and this is coming from a Christian)

[@aminahkhan1518]

Awww bless U I am proud of u for standing up 4 islam x

[@ammarazareen6616]

Salam. Your story was very inspiring, Mashallah. I noticed that in the beginning of your video you mentioned you wish to have an older sister. I understand we all need a person close to us with whom we can share our daily life problems. Similar to you I started wearing hijab when I was 10. Living in Islamic country I had many many problem and incidents. One of them was when the headmistress of my school came to my class and took my hijab off in front of everyone because it was not included in the school uniform. I remember I cried all day. But unlike me you seem to be a very strong person at a young age. Every girl who strats wearing hijab has a similar story. Its just to remind you that you are not alone on this path dear. Stay happy :)

[@17hinalove]

Wow this video really helped. Many people when I started wearing my hijab stopped talking to me and then even more people started talking to me. I have been a shamed of my self for making fun of people who wore hijab when I did not. Because now many people do the same to me.

[@khozai8476]

love this video!!..from video to video,mi respect for u is definitely growin!!..i started wearing the hijaab wen i was 11 and now i'm 19!!..it had been, so far,8 yrs of people questioning y do i wear this and much of mockery but alhamdulillah i've been strong and for Allah,i will always continue too...

Such an inspirational video Mashallah! Makes me appreciate how much easier it is to observe hijab in the UK than in other countries. Good to see a fellow Pashtun you-tuber finally! :p

[@lamyaozeir]

I really appreciate what you said in ur video! I also live in Holland and I can totally understand when you say that all hijabis here wear their hijabs the same exact way. From my own experience, I know that many Dutch and European see that the way we wear our hijabs reflects a better image of Islam, I wear pretty similar to ur style. It shows that we enjoy wearing it and that we are not forced to do it:-)

[@Ro-np1ed]

You are sooo inspirational. Ignore all the hate. Allah is the only one who will benefit you in the end. Dont take it off. you will feel like a part of you is gone. Stay strong. know that you have inspired girls whether in your family or on here. Masha allah. You are beautiful with hijab.

[@thegirlofthelibrary]

[@aurora5048]

The idea of wearing a hijab has crossed my mind a LOT lately... I see girls in my town that are wearing it and I really want to be like them ... I discovered ISLAM by myself nobody forced me or anything and to be honest I'm the first muslim in my family , I have relatives that are born muslims but that don't pray or worship Allah . I've been judged by my relatives when they found out I was interesed in Islam , however I've never and I'll never turn down my religion cuz this is my coise . My relatives have judged me and my mom , cuz when my mom saw what I was doing, when she saw I was interesed about this religon she became muslim too. My "friends" and people that I go to school with are so judgmental so I think on starting to wear the hijab when I go to High school next year, but if that doesn't work I am definitely going to wear it when I will get out of my country when I finish high school . Is like a feeling when I go to mosque wearing a hijab I feel so happy and proud of myself and I used to care if I saw enyone I know on my way there , but now I just don't care and I wish they could see me wearing a hijab :)) I don't know I just really like the idea of wearing it and Inshallah Allah will make my dream come true because in my case , wearing a hijab would really be a dream come true

I was very glad I watched your story. I was curious and had many questions. First off, your experiences have caused you great pain, yet you are stronger as a result. I can tell you must have amazing parents. They're teaching you how to be a true, human being. I agree with you, so many people judge before they understand and know the true facts. I'm glad you know good from bad people. That is key. Thank you for explaining to those who don't know. I'm blessed to have found your channel.

I used to feel uncomfortable at first, but now alhumdullialh i feel uncomfortable without it. i had a few thoughts of taking it off, just because of what people thought about me, but i was just cheating on myself, and contradicting my own decisions.

[@nadaashraf3978]

Masha allah!!! :D I love your thoughts and I too wish that one day all the muslim sisters will join to make a difference. :) :)

[@PleasurePromises]

Oh my God. Im so touched by this that im literally crying. U inspired me in more than one way. I feel so bad about myself because i just moved to a non muslim country and im so afraid to wear hijab. I dint have the courage at all... I hate myself for this. I know im gonna die one day and im gonna go alone to my grave. But still, i dont have the courage to wear hijab. Please help me. Please. I need motivation. I need help. I need something that would increase my strength and imaam. Please help me. Lovely video, im inspired.

[@esmamal6740]

A late reply but anyways know that it's Allah whom you want to please, not anyone else. And even though people will always judge you, even the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the best man to have ever walked the surface of this earth, was judged by other people so don't expect otherwise. Know that it represents them who they are as a person and not you. If they judge you for your look or something else which they have no idea about, then they have an ego problem and are not worthy of caring what they say. But you as a good person should never be like them and if they treat you bitter, treat them in return better. Handle the situation like our beloved prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) handled such situations. Also read the Qur'an, pray your salah, give zakat, all this things will bring you close to Allah (all praise is due to Him) and Allah is all you need in this temporary world. Even the people are temporary so don't care what they say.

[@Mynameismadeeha]

suchh an inspirational video!! i've been struggling with the idea of the hijab but Inshallah i'll get the strength and courage to wear itt !!!!

[@iloveu975]

I feel so proud of you lol, I hope Allah can give me the strength to wear hijaab.

[@smallperson91]

MashAllah you are very strong girl. You have obviously gone through a lot and for you to still wear the hijab under those circumstances shows your strength in your iman and in your character! You are a true inspiration. Like you, I never had a sister and I wish I did to help me when I needed it. In the last 6months I have been looking into islam more and falling in love with the religion. InshAllah I hope to take on the hijab soon. Jazakallah for opening up in the video. :) x

[@52Selma]

at first i'm sorry for my bad english skills, i live in germany but i am a turkish girl.. i want to wear hijab too but i'm scared of all the pupil in school and the teachers how you was describe it. You are so beautiful with your hijab ma'sha'Allah and insAllah i will wear hijab very soon.. youre an inspiration for me

[@sabreen45]

Thank you so much for being so honest and sharing your story. SubhanAllah, Hijab changes us in the most amazing ways. I will never understand gossiping hijabi or gossiping in general as it is one of the worst things in our religion.

[@MennoiZz]

I love the ending! "Keep in mind that you don't have forever. So do you wanna make a change, why not start today?
