[@sahrabeauty5126]

So happy to see you back ❤

[@hannaahmed2316]

I want to see videos about how you glowed up girl masha allah you look soo good. What you learned during your time away. and just vlogs the good old vlogs that we all love >3

[@hanankmoh]

A sit down talking video, girl how much I miss listening to you talk! Lessons learnt, honestly anything just more of you 💗

[@adonaimakhofola2696]

I'm so happy to have you back you were my biggest inspiration when I just started wearing a veil🩷🎀

[@adonaimakhofola2696]

I really miss Shai with Shahd, please bring that back

[@Ll_jfdk]

What I took from this video, a more calmer, carefree Shahd. She’s enjoying the little moments in life. Espresso or instant, long or short hair, it’ll all work out. She’s connected to herself and her faith. Even more so now than ever before. Love your recommendations, may Allah bless you always in this life and even more so in the next ameen 🤍🥹

[@Ajadzj]

I too want to vanish off of social media to travel the world, to live off a suit case, to heal, to read books, to learn a new language, to be less materialistic and to grow closer to Allah and myself. Alahumabarik ❤

[@ajioleysamba4984]

Girllll me too

[@ntaolenglebitsa5829]

Start with a book it’s cheaper 😂

[@khadiaba9906]

Like hearing from a friend you haven’t spoke to in forever. What a pleasant surprise! Alhumdulillah 🩷

[@mymunachocco]

I almost forgot her voice 😢

[@ZainabProductions]

SHES BACKKKKKKK

[@naimorable5821]

Crazy how i was Telling everyone “I miss Shahd’s content” last night and I wake up to this.❤️❤️

[@PharmFatimaNasiru]

Me too, I was telling my sis. I just called her 😂

[@jaboubaa928]

I told my daughter that she will be back one day and my daughter is the phone who texted me Shahd is back. I was watching my own daughter KZbin video but exited quickly to see Shahd like who does that 😅?

[@goldsand]

I’ve been saying that this week and boom!

[@tenasrim]

Same! I was thinking about her so much last night!

[@natasha3489]

Never unsubscribed!☝🏾I knew you would be back one day, so happyyyy 🤗❤️

[@amran_7271]

Welcome back! I feel like you have grown so much and found your peace. Im happy for you and cant wait for more videos!

[@BitterSweetAge]

My mental state is not your responsibly. However, your videos…your post always makes me feel refreshed, content, wanting to be present and just amazing. Not many people can do that so thank you.

[@anfaltahirmj]

SHAHD I teared up seeing this notif!!! you have been so missed my girl!

[@dazz4712]

When I last watched ur videos I used to be inspired by how you moved out alone and had the cutest first apartment. I’d watch your videos and be SOOO inspired🥺 now a few years later i’m living that dream and moved to Dubai when i turned 24🥹 its been almost 2 years and I’m still grateful for you cuz u made younger me realise it is possible❤️ Thank you and I pray you’re happy and thriving habibti🫶🏾 P.s You have been SO missed you dont understand🥹

[@livingwithrosay]

You are literally the coolest, most grounded person I know. It felt like such a sweet gift watching this video, thank you for being back. Having short hair will be weird at first but as a bald girl, I can tell you be prepared to feel so free and liberated, I'm sure you will love it. Also, hair is just hair, it will grow back.

[@_zahramj]

The cutting off your hair, sooo relatable. Did same a couple of months back, it was so reliving in a shocking way cause it wasn’t something I’d ever have thought to do in a million years

[@flowersandperfume355]

What I get from this video is a new and improved Shahd who has embraced her heritage and is evolving into her most ideal self and is constantly getting better and better. I love this more calm and carefree version of you. So proud of you.

[@Adekemijsavage]

Just finished watching and thoroughly enjoyed how relaxing and easy this was to watch/listen to! Btw cutting your hair is such a liberating feeling! I didn’t regret it afterwards in fact it brought more excitement to me due to feeling like there’s “less consequences” of my reckless experimentations lol ie: dying it and bleaching with with no concern for the health of my hair bc I could cut it again 😭😭 Bask in the feeling sis I’m so happy you jumped that hurdle with yourself and didn’t let an emotional attachment to hair hold you back 🤍💫

[@Rinie2186]

After 30 years I finally cut my hair and it was the way you described, I was in disbelief I finally did it but overjoyed and proud of myself that I finally did. I have no regrets and love my short hair. I feel lighter 😊 and I hope you continue to enjoy your new hair.

[@bintalnile]

Aww welcome back pretty!! We missed you! So proud of you for listening to yourself and taking the time you need❤️

[@chrissiec2123]

Shahd, you look so carefree and I’m here for it! I remember when on your KZbin channel- right before you went on the years-long break- you were more mentally exhausted and struggling with depression. I’m glad you’ve found your peace. 💚

[@21972012145525]

Can you share the backstory? There was no explanation here why she left and I only follow her on KZbin so not sure if she actually shared it

[@hannahcampbell8020]

Such a beautiful video. You emit peacefulness and calmness. In this busy world of loud influencers trying to push their agendas onto whoever will hear, your video is refreshing. You are right, there is beauty in simplicity. I really believe there is no rush, everything will work out with God, I'm learning that more and more as I get older. Its lovely to see you evolving in a similar way💖

[@sagaldul8797]

I have always engaged with content on slow living but from no Muslim content creators, you have no idea how much joy this bring to my heart, seeing someone like me, in all aspects being so aligned with themselves and their spirituality ❤ Allahuma Barik

[@Nemahsis]

alhamdulillah she’s back😭♥️ we missed you

[@hanana.banana]

subhanAllah just on saturday, sahad crossed my mind and i was like “i miss her videos so much”

[@khadijahsani-musa2208]

CRYINGGG SCREAMINGGG THROWING UPPPP I LOVE YOUUUU

[@laylaadli4976]

8:11 I cut all my hair off while it was in super small braids in 2021 at like 4 am on a random weekday (it’s always chaotic! and the thought of having to take all those braids down on my own was a nightmare) and I felt so much relief. it felt like my hair had been holding all my stress and anxiety and getting rid of it felt so freeing. I’d tied my self esteem in my appearance to my hair for so long and cutting it all off (going from waist length to basically a low fade) made me appreciate myself and how I look a lot more. I got more comfortable in my own skin and was more okay with myself and my appearance than i had ever been in my life. I kept it short for over a year, it was so much easier to care for, it took hours off my hair routine, I spent a LOT less money on haircare and styling and got very minimalistic with my routine. I realized a lot of what I was doing for my hair before was a product of being easily influenced and general overconsumption. Short hair is also so much more conducive to a nomadic lifestyle lol, way fewer products and no tools necessary aside from a comb and a bonnet.

[@salmashaban8473]

I’m close to tears 😂 Welcome back Shahdddd I had missed your videos

[@user-rt2db2sk2k]

Never been so excited to see someone back. I’ve met Shahd in person and she is one of the most sweetest person ever. Your old videos were beyond beneficial to me. May Allah swt provide you with the greatness of this life and the hereafter. Allahuma Ameen

[@SincerelyTahiry]

we're so happy to have you back !! thank you for sharing these bits of your life with us 💗 I've been teaching myself Spanish and what you said about learning a language like a kid is sooo true!! making mistakes is the only way to get better and for the most part i think native/more fluent speakers are always happy to help. Also congrats on the hair cut!! Ive done it twice and it was so cathartic!!! Enjoy this new phase because its beautiful✨🍃

[@aishabah9401]

OH SHAHD, watching this video felt like healing my inner child. I've missed you so so much, alhamdulillah❤

[@drkanar531]

She’s backkkkkkk

[@hawah_b]

The way i gasped in excitement when I saw this post 💓

[@saraAFA_]

Of all the four times I’ve cut my hair off, it was due to an overwhelming sense of general suffocation, claustrophobia and helplessness. It was a way of feeling in control. And it always felt so freeing. Basically something was not right. Alhamdulillah things are getting better for me now. However, you sound very peaceful and calm and in control so I am happy for you! x

[@lynlifestyle2372]

I've never been so happy to see a video! May Allah preserve and protect you, ameen 🩷

[@nuriaminahbradshaw1354]

As Salaamu Alaikum! Welcome back to the KZbin world! What a beautiful video and yes, alhamdulillah in everything! 🙌🏽 congrats on your first big chop! As someone who’s cut off my hair a few times, I haven’t regretted it and that amazing lighter feeling lasts. Almost always, women cut their hair during big transitions and it symbolizes letting go of what doesn’t serve us to welcome the growth Allah is blessing us with! You may experience an awkward phase of it growing back - but just like growing pains, it’s worth it and it will pass! Praying your journey continues to be abundant and full of ease and joy! 💜

[@sabreenjada]

Yayyy! Shahd is back, as for the haircut you might regret it a bit later if your hair hasn’t ever been that length before (speaking from experience) but over time you’ll grow to appreciate it. I would however recommend going to a hairstylist to shape up the cut if it’s really choppy. 😊

[@ifrahbaqai9402]

yessssssir she’s back !!!!!!!!

[@Yes_1998]

love how peaceful this was

[@danya98]

AHHHHHHHH SHE IS BACK
