Every time you talk to us and say “you girls” I feel so special 😭😭

[@Mahnooraleem6]

It was so hard to watch her cry I really just wanted to give her a hug because as someone who knows that feeling I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. But you’ve come so far Amina you’ve literally built a community of cute hijabis and other cutie girls that support and love this content Im just so so proud of you. When I first came across your videos I thought “wow she really knows how to make wearing the hijab fun” and then I started to do the cute little things you taught me like romanticising all the small things, and that really helped me get through my senior year, you are a part of why I love wearing my hijab and wearing abayahs and enjoying Taraweeh prayers. I find myself saying “khaleeji” ironically so much and my friends don’t know what khaleeji is but it’s so fun in my head knowing you taught me that word. Finding your channel was the best thing that happened to me last year Im watching your videos all the time and even my younger brother overhears and says “wasnt that your voice? You literally talk like that”. Watching your videos makes me realise Im not alone and that’s just the beauty of Islam and how it brings you closer to your people. I love who you are 💞

[@Club_chloe]

Ik i can relate i have been through that and I understand the pain it truly broke me to see her cry

[@MA-yu6wt]

As a Khaleeji, I’m glad you find your way in life. I never struggled with wearing the Hijab and Abaya because it’s all around me, but hearing stories of Muslims who live in the West, who push through the discrimination and loneliness to practice their faith is the definition of bravery.

[@Club_chloe]

@@MA-yu6wt i live in a place full of Muslim and hijab girls but sometimes people still pick at u bcs u were hijab one time someone tried to rip of my hijab i will make sure nothing like that happens to any of my friends

[@MA-yu6wt]

@@Club_chloe oh hell nah, why would anyone think they have the right to touch you let alone rip off a piece of clothing you’re wearing!! Ppl are weird. No matter how much they dislike the Hijab, their hands should be kept to themselves. May God help you and keep you safe.

i’m not muslim (i’m Christian) but hearing you accept your modesty for what it is, and surrounding yourself with likeminded people was so inspiring. you are a testament to how things in life do in fact get better, you just have to have faith.

I genuinely want to thank you for posting this video, it's truly hard to talk about these kinds of things. we live in a society where people just JUDGE and assume the worst out of others and you just helped at least 100 girlies (if not more) on here to be more proud of their hijab. may Allah reward you

[@miffysoup]

amina i just wanted to thank you for being so vunerable and sharing such a big part of your life with us. i know this took so much courage for you to post and i am so proud of you. as a fellow hijabi living in the west, its like you took the words right out of my mouth this whole video. i feel so much relief knowing that i wasn't alone in my experiences, but at the same time i feel a deep sense of sadness knowing you went through what i went through. it's so lonely and depressing i wouldn't wish this kind of experience on my worst enemy. you're so strong so intelligent so so so beautiful it hurts me that you ever thought otherwise. i wish i could go back and comfort younger you telling you that it does get better and that you will grow into be the breath-taking young lady you are today. anyone who couldnt see that never deserved you. dont let them make you doubt yourself. seeing your feminity and personality inspire me to feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. i know that i am not alone in saying that. mashAllah your attitude your energy your love your giggles your eyes your demeanor your face your soul your body your personality is so beyond perfect i would not change a thing if i could. i wouldn't even change the bad experiences as i know your resilience helped build you into the wonderful woman you are today. when i watched this video i was shocked that someone as perfect as you could feel the same as me. i am so proud of how far you've come. Allah forgets nothing and is immensly proud of you for how far you've come. i cannot put into the words the love and gratitude i have towards you. thank you for helping me feel a little less alone. thank you for always being an inspiration. thank you for being vunerable. from the bottom of my heart i love you and everything you stand for. you're such a blessing, don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise ♡

[@RaddyKhanom24]

Aminaa This is making me cryy it hits too hard😭 i wore hijab starting high school and all my friends from primary school stopped hanging out with me so i understand the problems with friendships. I lost so many friends and i always blamed in on the fact that I was a bit chubby and that the hijab made me look ugly. I would see that all the hijabis that were popular wore it with lots of strands, neck showing and tight clothing, and honestly i was so convinced to look like that. All I wanted was to be one of those skinny girls with the beautiful hair. Alhamdullilah I have parents who always made sure i never even tried that💀 Honestly i agree with you, all that time i was wishing I could be like them but now im in college(UK) and I see all these hijabis in so many different styles, niqabs and abayas everywhere and im so glad that i stayed modest. I still struggle with insecurities now and then but Insha'Allah im learning to focus more on my deen. You're videos are honestly so relatable and you envourage me to be proud to wear the hijab so Thank uu. Im going Uni this year so I hope I make hijabi friends!!🫶🏼

[@RaddyKhanom24]

Also to anyone who is struggling with the hijab just remember, this life is only a stop on the way to Jannah.Your modesty is what makes tou beautiful. Spend less time on how you look here and more on looking beautiful in the eyes of Allah, because He is the only we should try to impress insha'Allah ❤️

[@hadjac3539]

Girl when you said "I changed myself for people who I'll never see again" it hit me hard bc I went on exchange program to Europe and felt horrible about my hijab and almost took it off 💀.. thankfully, a classmate was kind enough to convince me not to take that decision 🥹.

[@amnazia5511]

I totally relate to you in that aspect , their were times where I ditched my modesty for "appearing attractive" , went from hijab and taking abaya to fully hairs on display , tight cloths yada yada..I knew whilst I was doing those stuff that it was wrong .my heart was screaming at me to stop revealing myself to the world ...ANYWHOOO.. Prayed to God to help me and slowly but surely started wearing my hijab again , still no abaya but we getting their InshAllah . And honestly being with right people really helps and also your videos too .. Thank You so much for showing such cute hijab styles , absolutely loved it and Love you too . MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU ETERNALLY . ❤🤍💚

[@zarahbedford3226]

just wanted to say you're the reason I started wearing the hijab all the time after wearing it only occasionally. Now I can't imagine myself not wearing it. may Allah reward you immensely. love you girl

[@yerawizardharry694]

This made me tear up - you deserve so much. I had a similar experience and I want to express to you how even though we may sometimes feel out of place and strange, there are so many who look up to us because of our hijab. There are so many who feel comforted by seeing it - we may not see that they are Muslim but they see us. They see that there are people of their religion around them, people who are proud to represent Islam. And to be that comfort to other people is an honour. Us hijabis need to stay strong for ourselves as well as others. I’m so proud of you Amina and all those who have faced the same struggles ❤️

AN AMAZINGGGGGGGGG, BEAUTIFUL,GORGEOUS INDIVIDUAL. You inspre a lot of people by just being you. you are incredibly valuable and never ever forget that.:)

[@Aaliyah11999]

I think all hijabi girls had at least one moment where they struggled. I just started to wear it. And it wasn’t easy and I blamed myself for not starting earlier because I thought it will take a long time for me to get used to it. But I started to wear more styles and go out more and got really comfortable with it and now I LOVE it! ❤️

[@SarahIsmail-sy7yk]

this is actually in a way happening to me. but im in grade 7 and i think somuch of these problems was bc there is no one like me.when i finally got a muslim friend like me, we both became so much more confident in who we are. our journey was like together so it was easier.

[@deepseadebris]

I had a really scary expereince recently that had forced me out of wearing the headscarf ever and hearing you talk about your journey just is such a comfort and gives me hope that things will improve and that *I* can improve, as well as get into a space where I am able to express my religion again.

[@ash_tree71]

Girl I'm SO PROUD of you for getting over it and using it to pull you closer to Allah, you're so strong and I'm very happy and proud for where you are right now:)

[@MZahra7]

Wallahi Amina i am so proud of and happy for you!! i completely understood what you meant about the whole 'my friends would post each other but never me but i would post them' because that would literally happen to me as well and as the only hijabi girl in my friend groups, it HURT. your story legit had me tearing up so many times both for you and myself and all the Muslim girls out there struggling with wearing the hijab and the insecurities that come with it. i pray Allah continues to make it easy for you and me and all our Muslim sisters as well though, Ameen :))

[@killiamkoala7403]

The struggles you went through in high school may sound superficial to some but they are REAL and SubhanAllah, you used to feel like nobody posted you on their story before but now there are people that look forward to seeing YOU post and are inspired by you. May Allah reward you for sticking to your obligation even when there was pressure and may Allah continue to use you to guide other girls to the hijab. You are truly such a gem. Mashallah you seem so comfortable being you and it is also normal to feel like these things still effect you somedays. Its not easy healing or unlearning from peer pressure. Alhamdulillah, Allah tested you in order to bring you back closer to Him ♥

I don’t think you were overreacting at all. Your feelings are totally valid and they’re the ones who didn’t deserve your friendship🫂. From your videos itself you seem like an absolute fun person to be around and it’s their loss that they didn’t realize it. We are all very proud of you for coming this far.

[@areeha_diaries]

As a person who has had a big fallout with my friend group (of around 3-4 yrs) i can feel your pain. when your voice started shaking i literally felt that. it has just been months but i still sometimes think about it and feel like crying so i felt it in my bones when you said that all you wanted was to fit in.

[@yasmincheree]

I relate to you in a way, I live in a MAJORITY white area of course there’s other races but mainly white. So in elementary the classes would be like 3-4 kids who were poc and only ONE teacher who wasn’t white. It was detrimental to my mental health because there was no diversity and no one would looked like me( there was a sprinkle of Muslim kids) When I got to middle school I stopped wanting to be white and appreciated my ethnic features. In Summer of 2020, I started wearing niqab & hijab in quarantine all the people I was friends with previously stopped talking to me which lowkey hurt but once I customized my schedule so I had only 1 class and the other two online it was amazing! My teacher was amazing, the people were amazing (there was only 3 POCS in the class) which really sucked but it was an elective most people didn’t know about. I’m so grateful for my hijab! When I put it on many people didn’t recognize me from before who I didn’t mesh with and it was a fresh start. This is my story, thank you for sharing yours🩶

[@breannamcast]

hi amina! im a christian but i always admired hijab girlies. this ramadan episode brought tears to my eyes and im so sorry people were cruel to you. 🫶🏽

[@Bgtan_466]

Actually I thought about wearing Hijab lately since I'm non hijabi but it still a hard decision for me since I am fearing the idea of wearing it for the first time and I felt not convinced too much by my idea but what inspires me every time are those girls out there who looks so good, cute, beautiful and confident w their hijab I feel like umm why don't I try it too but every time I changed my mind until my bestie asked me if I'm not gonna wear hijab and I told her that I thought about it but I don't like the idea too much but her response was let's hang out together and I'll get you one of my hijabs and you can try it on one of the mall toilets so I actually felt so happy of how much she was supportive and she was supporting the idea of me wearing it for the first time and so anyways Idk if I am gonna try it soon but I feel like in the future because this video kinda made me confident about it so May Allah guide me and I hope I can wear it soon (loving it, feeling confident and secured about it) + I noticed your tone and I can imagine how hard it was for you so I'm so proud of you Amina and I'll be proud w other girls who will do the same

Amina you aren’t crazy or being over too dramatic with all those thoughts you had about your “friends” making you feel left out. It’s totally normal, you were a teenage girl who just wanted to be accepted. What came out of that experience is that now you know you don’t need to change yourself for other people, if people don’t accept and appreciate you for you then they aren’t the right people and don’t deserve your time and energy❤ I just wanted you to know how much you are loved ❤ You bring a smile to thousands of GIRLS every day, you even inspire us to be the better version of ourselves.

[@nahlakeepsyappin]

omg near the 10 min count, i felt so seen! i grew up as the ONLY hijabi in my district elementary-middle (💀) and i always felt like an ugly duckling or a passion project. like cady from mean girls i guess. i'm in college now, and that experience definitely stunted my motivation to make friends. there's more of a muslim population where i live now, insha'allah i make good friends with some of the girls here

i appreciate this video sm 🥺 it rly gave me some insight and made me realise that i'm not the only one who feels this way. i also started wearing hijab at school from when i was a very young age- 6 or 7 (only at school, and occassionally in islamic atmospheres like islamic studies and mosques). but as i hit puberty when every1 else started completely wearing it i started feeling ugly and ppl started commenting that i look too old for my age and my crushes and their friends would tease me and i was also very chubby at the time so i'd take the oppurtunity of special occassions to take it off and wear my hair all cute and stuff... this was up until the 6th grade then from 7th up until 9th i wore it consistently not showing any of my hair. after 9th grade my dad resigned from his job in qatar that he had for majority of my life and we had to move back to india and it was right when covid brokeout and i had to rejoin again in 9th grade; i was the new kid for the first time and used social media alot more often. i made a whole bunch of new friends and became part of the "popular gang" of my grade and we'd go on all these fun hangouts w/ like 15-20 people i felt so validated and special. and then at school towards the end of 9th grade i met a guy in the grade above me while i simultaneously had a crush on a guy in my friendgroup (they were both atheists and not very appreciative of islam and claimed it was oppressive and conservative). i also felt very leftout around my "big friendgroup" but now i realised it was never coz of my hijab i was just shy and didnt put enough effort to keep in touch with them and be all outgoing and was afraid of what they thought of me. well anyways i met both the guys around january 2021 and i became superr close friends with the guy in the grade above me (like we'd talk everyday for hours on end and tell each other EVERYTHING) and randomly one day idk why did it but i chopped off a huge amount of my hair and turned into dora basically T-T then proceeded to send him and a few other of my friends a really goofy vid of me posthaircut like *aghh im dreaming rhhdajkesjfasa* and he thought it was cute, he'd already liked me for my personality then but still. we'd even zoom call with this other girl who was a rly close friend of ours at the time and 1 day she was like "i ship you guys" and we were both shocked but we both ended up dating eventually in may 2021 and this was when my 10th grade had started. i started off wearing my hijab as you said with the strands out but i'd send every1 snaps showing my full hair just like that and eventually towards the end of 10th i stopped wearing it altogehter (only as a shawl around my neck tocover my chest). i feel like i did this both coz i saw all these other pretty girls in my school doing it and being "occassional hijabis" and i also felt like my bf wouldn't like me for being muslim (when in fact that wouldnt have affected anything except that i was in a haraam relationship, commiting zina and fully losing myself and my closeness to deen) we ended up dating for over 2 years after that up until he graduated in march 2023 then left the state of kerala to study in bangalore and i kinda had abandoned my friendgroup and selfisolated and only hungout with this 1 girl i met in the first day of 11th grade (we're still the bestest of friends and she's been such a gem to me and is my entire support system despite her not even being muslim alhamdu lillah

It’s beautiful how even after we lose our path to God He gives us the opportunity to return to Him. May He continue to protect you and your love for Him ❤

[@Aphrod8te]

Amina you're the kindest and most positive person I've seen. Ever. I never thought that it would be so hard to see someone cry until now and I hope that your life only gets from good to better and from better to best, please keep on being the person you love being and don't change yourself in any way you don't want to! 💗💗💗💗

[@Ezzra-j9q]

Throughout the whole video you were saying how we're gonna think that your overeacting but girl like NOOO😭You were deff NOT overeacting.This video is so REAL.Thank you amina for posting this

[@liifeofzainab]

wake up yall she's FINALLY posted ep 4

[@user-ij5sp4zv5h]

Felt this as a hijabi who went from younger school okay as it had more muslims, to next step in school and there being literally barely any, the friends then werent necessarily leaving me out, but they would try and push me to to be less and less in accordance with my hijab, in both my behaviour and clothing, it was such an awkward experience, I became friends with a new girl, a hijabi, Ive never become friends with someone quicker, the old friendship group of mine would get angry at me for how Id be with her so often and look so much more happy, you know I could more openly speak about my religion like when we had to both go for Salah, we would schedule things we did according to the prayers we needed to do, we would read Quran together in the prayer room, we would exchange modest clothing stores info and set up going out to halal places, aswell as the other generic stuff I did with my old friends, I had to make decision at some point because they were starting to distance themselves from me now too, and I did, sadly the girl ended up moving away and I was basically left alone to finish the last year, but it has made me a better person and helped me mature so much and really get into my deen and also myself and my own identity

[@farah2675]

Productively cleaned my room to this thank you ilysm

[@jayfeatherwithsnark474]

AWW MA SHA ALLAH UR SO CUTE

[@manarshahd3685]

Amina, you're such a pure soul I LOVE YOU and u inspire my hijaby outfits

[@taubah2848]

I’m not one to comment, but thank you so much for sharing your experience. Im currently 16 and have been struggling for a while now with feeling confident and pretty in my hijab. Like even though most of my friends are hijabis, I can’t help but compare myself to non-muslims girls, wishing I looked like them. Some girls (both non-muslims and muslims) who have seen me without my hijab have even told me I look so much different/better without the scarf, which obviously doesn’t help with my confidence. It’s a struggle some days, but on top of reminding myself why I practice modesty, your fun, sweet, and confident personality helps me feel more confident in myself. So yeah, just wanted to say thanks for the videos, and inshallah we can make the most out of the rest of this Ramadan !!!

[@elaehachfi]

Thank you for sharing your journey with such honesty . It takes alot of courage to speak about it , especially when you are faced with social media and rememver that you are loved and valued by many , including me 💗. May Allah grant you the highest ranks of Jannah and surround you with hapiness .

[@moongrlandthest4rs]

amina, like omg. i don’t wear hijab but i was most definitely locked in this entire video. i’m so sorry you felt that way in high school, but like you said that chapter of your life is over and now you’re in a new chapter, that i can say i’m beyond glad you decided to share on youtube

[@user-nq6zo7lt5w]

i cried watching this.. thank you so much amina for sharing this to us... I'm so proud of you amina❤☹

[@itsjustmeimani]

watching amina cry makes me cry i love her so much she’s so strong and brave and intelligent and beautiful and i hate the fact that people made her feel like she was never enough. ☹️❤️

[@nfor.a]

the part where you spoke about loosening your hijab and showing two strands out was way too relatable i did exactly that in my last two years of high school and even a bit in college and it’s so embarrassing looking back on those pics bc it just reminds me of when i was trying way too hard to fit in with everyone else. thank you so much for posting this video amina you’re such an amazing person💜

[@kenzie3619]

hey girlie🎀 I really wanted to say thank you for this beautiful video because it really really helped me. I just became a hijabi quite recently less than 2 months ago and it’s definitely isn’t the easiest thing there are good days and there are bad ones but watching this video made me feel less alone and so much more comforted. truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you.💗

[@verymindfulverydemure-11]
