The Quran 2:282 says you're a half-brain and the "Prophet" Muhammad agreed by saying you're deficient in intelligence (Sahih Bukhari 304). Do you agree with them?
As a niqabi, I'm soooo proud of you. Forget all the "religous" people that are harsh because if they truly understood the religion they would know that we are meant to be kind and merciful to one another. Keep going and may Allah allow you to draw closer and closer to Him. When you please Allah, Allah pleases you. When you leave something for His sake, He gives you something better in return.
I wore the niqab for 3 months and they were the best months of my life… I regret taking it off. If I had kept it on for just 3 more weeks I would’ve been ok. I relied on a ‘high iman’ and ‘motivation’ to keep it on instead of “patience and discipline”. I miss it. I pray I get to go back soon inshaAllah. 🩷 May Allah SubhanA Wa Ta’Alaa keep you firm and bless you with every step you take, Allahuma ameen 🩷🩷. I’m so proud of you sis.
As a Christian, I KNOW how faith ebbs and flows as you said! I definitely resonated with your journey. I love you and your transparency, keep being authentically you! 💕
Same here babe, even as a Christian I resonated so very well with her journey because I am actually on this journey right now and girllllll it has been a lot but I will say that I am grateful I took this step of faith because I can’t just ignore the blessings that are attached to this practice. Like after watching this video I have made up my mind to just post my content with my scarf on,go to school with my scarf on like she really just boosted my confidence and faith. I have a lot to say 😂😂 but I love her 💕 for being her💗
@@SharethebiblenowHey sisss I'm absolutely with you on this. I started covering this year as well and I'll start posting on UA-cam soon. I realise how scarce it is to find fellow veiling Christians.
When I first started watching you years ago I wasn’t a hijabi, in fact I wasn’t even Muslim. Fast forward to now I’m a revert and a hijabi and I’m back to watching your videos🥰 I’m so grateful to have you on this platform, the representation as a Black hijabi means so much. Also girlll you had me tearing up because the struggles you were mentioning hit HOME omg 😭 but mA you look so beautiful in your hijab, may Allah continue to bless you and continue to make your hijab journey and life journey in general filled with abundant ease and peace💓 love ya!
what makes this even more beautiful is that I know every muslim young woman who is also trying to be on the hijab journey will say a little prayer for you to keep this going. May Allah SWT make this easy for you
MaShaAllah your journey is incredibly inspiring, as a muslim struggling to wear hijab and definitely understand your emotions but know that you’re doing absolutely amazing❤️ may Allah make it easy for us
I love this!!! As a Christian who wears her veil/head covering this was truly beautiful! I stopped wearing mine because I was bullied and alienated out of it but now I’m wearing mine again and I feel in such alignment with God, I feel empowered and beautiful 💗 I encourage you sister in your faith & your journey, if there’s one thing I love about Muslim/Christian community is that there is a unity and it’s beautiful I’m seeing it in the comments 🧕🏽🤍
@@Joy-kw5vb God never said to cover your hair 24/7, tf? The Bible only mentions women covering their heads during prayer. You doing it full time is nothing but you making a choice for yourself, not being obedient because you weren’t given such instruction to begin with.
I'm not Muslim, but your journey is so inspiring and is really lighting the fire under my ass to really work hard on getting closer to God and building that strong bond and relationship. Wishing you nothing but the best on this journey.
I am a new Muslim and I reverted in 2022. I started wearing hijab right after hijab day this year SubhanAllah and I have just been so grateful so far. Mashallah sister ! Found you on Tik Tok and was so grateful to see another AA hijabi!
As a Christian, I know for a fact that getting closer to God is not just sudden most times. And for most Christians what might be difficult might be praying everyday, dressing modest etc but I do agree that it’s a process and I pray I also get there 🥰 Also most of my extended family members are Muslim and they all have different journeys some are hijabis some aren’t and that is okay. Sending Love❤🥰

Everyone needs someone like your mom in their life 😃... I can definitely feel your confidence increasing and elevating. Absolutely love this for you!!!
I used to be a headscarf babe, but sometime last year, I started practising more coverage, and although I'm still figuring stuff out, I love it so much. Recently, I have had to remind myself that I'm not just 'wearing' the hijab, I'm 'practising' it, and it should be an all-round change, not just in my physical appearance. So, my character, speech, observing my salah, etc, etc.
In response to your confidence response, I can definitely say that even I've seen a shift in your confidence and in your comfortability with yourself. You seem so much more empowered, lighter, radiant. Just overall so so much happier (not to say you weren't all these things before. It's just amplified now). Love it for you!!!!

Definitely will be supporting you on your journey ❤
I felt this post so much! I don’t identify with a religion either, I just consider it a “faith-walk” when people ask me what’s my religion or I’ll just say I have a relationship with Christ, used to identify as a Christian, but sooo many people have ruined the meaning behind it by throwing man-made rules & mindsets on it, so the minute you say you’re a Christian, you get judged in the worst way lol .. But I’m praying that you continue to grow in God & for your journey😘
Thank you sm for emphasizing on being graceful with others. A lot of people judge people from the outside without knowing what they’re really battling with. And because they seem a certain type of way on the gram, they think you’re perfect. God is everything to be honest and I’m so happy to hear you speak on your faith and journey so genuinely, I’ve resonated with and learnt so much from this video. Love you sm Tomiwa🤍✨
I used to wear hijab, but I was peer pressured into it. I’m seriously considering wearing it again tho and have been skeptical. Your video is really helping me
@@hxyzazolchak well without getting into details, it’s not what you think it is. They basically said I was either a slut or a hijabi (and that pressure went on for over two years). I’ve always dressed modestly and am always preparing for hijab but that wasn’t my take on hijab.
This is so beautiful to hear, you look lovely. I love that you touch on value as well. I’m a Christian and we say “on fire for God” when you’re drawing closer and all you want to do is live for your creator. Proud of you 🌸
You’re literally the most down to earth UA-camr I know, and that’s why we’re here, and that’s why we love you. Our strength really comes from God. Thank you so much for being you and sharing this journey with us 🙏🏽♥️
Mashaa Allah mashaa Allah 🤲🏽🥰 congrats sis on engaging in this journey. Society nowadays is so judgmental especially for the hijabi community. But the most important is being in peace with yourself and knowing that you’re doing it for the sake of Allah. ❤️❤️❤️ May Allah continue assisting you. After all it becomes a part of who you are. 😘
So so proud of you girl, as a Christian this is also very inspiring. God has great things coming your way, the ones who want to stay will stay and im deff still one of them! You look stunning with the hijab! May God pour you with all the blessings that you deserve because you do
btw i really appreciate content like this! as a young muslim girl I didn’t have much guidance growing up and i am now trying to learn more about Islam and grow closer to Allah (SWT). i really appreciate the fact that i can relate/connect to you.. & also learn from you! thank you for sharing your journey with us!
I am French and I like to follow you very much I watched your video is just wow I am super proud of you, may God accompany you on your spiritual journey you are magnificent with the hijab and I am so happy for you!! go for it girl !!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH😭💕
Hey It’s crazy how Allah works been thinking keeping my hijab on after this Ramadan seeing your video pop first thing on UA-cam just helps me so much may Allah help you in this journey inshallah 🙏🏾
I’m a Christian, but I can relate soooo much to this video. From self image/worth to fluctuating in faith. I think that your open declaration of faith in God is beautiful. I know that it can be difficult. Sending you nothing but love❤️
As Salaam Alakium Wa Rahmantuallahi Wa Barakatu Uhkti 😊 I stumbled across your channel while looking for different hijab styles😊I respect and admire your journey SUBHANALLAH welcome sister❤
I really thank you for this video. As a revert (almost 3 years alhamdulilah) it is so tricky as a woman to find your way. I’m typically reluctant to comment on certain content especially regarding islam out if fear of ridicule but I am always curious to know what is the deciding factor behind everyone’s decision. The hijab is beautiful and women who choose to wear it full time I admire greatly. I admire the change and pray for Allahs guidance along my journey as well🙏🏾❤️ I look forward to more content from you❤️
Tomiwa, you are a beautiful person inside & out and that is why I follow you! I am not Muslim and I don't really look anything like you (diff race, state/coast, etc.) but you are easily one of my favorite UA-camrs I follow. Please know you are a gem. I'm so glad I found your channel!
I don’t always have time to watch videos on UA-cam these day but for some reason, I just had to watch this one. It made me so emotional and it has inspired me. I have been seriously struggling lately and this made me feel not so alone in my journey. I love you so much for the sake of Allah tomiwa and i pray Allah SWT continues to protect you my love. This video has helped me and I many others. You are a blessing on earth to so many 🤍🥺
This is just beautiful. I'm a Christian and I can relate to so much of what you say. I am also on a journey to dress more modestly (. I love how Muslim women make it look so amazing! The journey of faith is tough but so worth it. ❤ You look amazing as always!
You've always been beautiful and wholesome!! this is the icing on the cake, and you've inspired me as a christian to be more modest in my appearance!! Also, you can do the wig reviews by using a model maybe? if you still wanted to. Proud of you for being authentically you in this world filled with clones❤❤❤
This resonated with me. I’m so happy for you Masha Allah. and I’ll watch your content either way. Yes, I got Locs once I decided to wear the hijab permanently and it’s been the best .I slack on my journey sometimes and last year I almost took it off, but Alhamdulilah I did not. Try using a silk lined under cap , it helps with the oil staying on your scalp. Lol. I love you ❤ Ps: you inspired my UA-cam journey too.
may Allah continue to make this journey easy for you and bless you for your efforts ameen !! seeing you wear the hijab is so inspiring and helpful to see as a hijabi myself, and you look so beautiful in it allahuma barik! thank you for posting this video and sharing your story💕💕💕
I'm a Christian and new subscriber(from early January), this was so beautiful to watch. You inspired me to grow my faith as well at the beginning of the year. I hope to strengthen my faith as well🤍So happy I came across you channel😊
I’m a believer in Christ and I decided to take my journey seriously this year and my life has made a 360 and I’m glad to see you on your journey as well and I’m so proud of you beautiful ❤❤❤
I am so grateful as I am Hebrew and I've been just not walking in yeshuah ways but this has been inspiring to get back aligned and back to Abba father so I support u n ur journey n may God continue to bless u
i’m not religious but i’ve come to appreciate modest clothing even in my 20s. it feels very powerful in a culture that zexualises everything from the food we eat to going to the gym. i’ve also found a lot of my modest pieces are a lot more versatile than some of my other clothes so it’s a win-win!
@@TomiwaRodia Girl! You can’t begin to imagine lol, i am about to make a life changing decision and this video was sent from God, sometimes you have to do what only you understands for your life without anyone’s validation. Thats my take. I pray that we are forever aligned 🙏
I just saw the topic and I clicked on it, and I also just found your channel. As a Yoruba Muslimah, it is nice to see another Yoruba Muslimah wearing the Hijab expressively. I don't see much of that in our side of Yorubans, especially in the West, and with the Nigerian culture of owambe parties, and the need to just blend in with the crowd- too many identity crises. I resonate with your Hijab journey, and I got a lot of resistance to wearing it. And I kept it up for a long time before I relaxed, now I'm traveling back to wearing it up and prayerfully, better, and permanently. Hijabite sister is a 'Worrrrdddd!' If you grow up in Nigeria, you would know! Keep it up, and keep it on!! May Allah help us all, and accept it as acts of Ibadah.
you've really inspired me to reconnect with my faith! i can relate to things happening that pushed you back into your faith in a deeper level (i went through a breakup last year and started a job that didnt align with me and that really made me lean on God's strength and love to keep me going)! we're very very proud of you and you are a vessel to help others reconnect with their faith and beliefs 🤎 your transparency and journey has helped me a lot 🥺 much love
Your story is inspiring I kind of relate to you when it comes to the hijab decision. When I grew up my parents told me once I get my menstrual I had to start wearing it. I got my menstrual at age 9 and did not want to wear because I was young, lack of understanding, and didn’t want to get bullied. But I still still wore it all the way up to age 16. Then I stopped because my parents told me I didn’t have to wear it and I craved getting and having my hair done. My mom also would sometimes wear it here and there. Highschool I was wearing weave and etc I just loved getting my hair done. My dad on the other hand wanted me to wear my hijab so when he was around that was the only time I wore it or when praying and going to the mosque. Then sophomore year of college I started back covering my hair and wanted to get closer to Allah. So honestly it’s been an on going battle for me. Recently I got married in November of last year Mashallah. And I have been debating about wearing my hijab again. Well I made my decision Insha’Allah I am going to wear my Hijab because I want to be a better Muslim and Allah told us to. I want to please Allah not everyone else. Hijabs are beautiful and Muslimahs look very beautiful 😍😍✨ wearing them. My biggest issue with wearing hijabs was I loved looking good and wearing different hairstyles. Well I can still look good in hijabs. And more power to you sister for keeping your word and sticking with the hijab.💕 It’s a battle for sure, but it’s all worth it.❤️
Watching this made me so emotional. Thank you for sharing your story/journey. I believe I speak for so many of us when I say that I am so incredibly proud of and inspired by you. May Allah continue to strengthen, protect and elevate you! Much love sis 🤍 (p.s. thanks for repping for the Yoruba babes!)
watched this while doing my makeup and resonated with every word! i think the most beautiful thing about being a hijabi is the fact that when you enter a room good people will recognise you as a kind, generous, patient, honest and responsible person. they know what your hijab represents and regard you highly 🤍.
The glow you have is so differnet and you can truly say you are at peace and have such a new joy about you. Im going to be another as a Christian comment lol, but I can defitenly relate. God has always been calling me all throughout my life. I always was curious about God and he's been calling me at such a young age. People in my family tell me to live my life, date and have fun, but I truly felt I am called to wait until marriage, Im called to carry out a purpose and when God calls you and you answer it may look odd or different to others because it truly is. Living for God is to not be of this world so it may be challenging you but as you said God is truly your strength and He will give you all you need to spiritually grow.
You have no idea how helpful this video was. May Allah bless you and make your journey easy. Ive been knowing in my heart that I want to wear the hijab one day it has just felt so hard to officially do it. But Alhumdulillah I feel like I'm getting closer every day to just doing it and women like you are so inspiring and help make me feel not alone. Thank you for sharing your story 💞
Loved this video!! It’s very inspirational! A lot of the topics you’d touched on have been things I’ve currently been struggling with, but Inshallah, Allah will make it easier for me to just wear the hijab one day!!!!
I'm a Catholic Christian. I watched your video sometime around March with my personal account. It was so inspiring and relatable. Especially because I was barely two months into being a full time veiling Christian. You really are inspiring and I've been subscribed and watch your videos since then. I'm Nigerian too! Thank you for sharing your story. I hope to share mine too
Mashallah, this video is so beautiful, I’ve cried my eyes out from start to finish! You look SOO beautiful with your hijab. I pray one day i can get to this stage. I’m in a phase where i feel afraid of what others may say or think of me as i dont feel like im strong in faith, especially as a revert i feel like i have to prove myself, i guess there’s also an element of feeling unworthy within myself due to certain life choices and bad habits. But i love this for you! All i can do is pray i get there and your content really does help push me in the right direction, please never stop what your doing
I am not Muslim but I greatly enjoy your videos none the less because I think it is essential to learn about all the different beliefs and lifestyles people have. I think your position as a Muslim and Hijabi content creator is really valuable and I thank you for sharing your stories!
You have no idea the meaning of wearing the hijab. The hijab/veil (full body covering excluding the eyes or one eye) is compulsory in Quran 33:59: O Prophet! *Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way).* That will be better, that *they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed.* And Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful. (Bold emphasis mine) Read the verse. It's basically telling Muslims to annoy/harass'/abuse non-hijab wearing females ("whores"/non-Muslims) instead of hijab women. It's a disgusting vile verse against non-Muslim females.
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable about your journey Tomiwa 😃. I can definitely relate to a lot of things you've said... especially the part about being strong in your Deen. And taking it one step at the time. May Allah make your journey easier, Ameen 🥰
Your journey really moved me because I had recently gone through something so similar which brought me closer to Allah than ever before and got me the strength to finally start putting on the hijab. Every single thing you were saying, I could relate to. This was so motivating and all power to you girly. Hope we both can remain on this journey and continue to grow closer to Allah SWT and fulfill our duties as a Muslim woman. 🥹🙌💓
I 'am so happy for you Tomiwa I wish I had the confidence maybe one day in-sha-allah... and with Ramandan being 2 days away maybe I will try and wear it for the whole month.
Your mum is an OG😊😍. That's actually what they used to call Muslim sisters that wear the hijab in Nigeria especially amongst Muslim communities some still say hijabite sisters till date.
Congratulations my precious beautiful sister ... I am so happy that you decided to wear your crown your hijab ... May Allah strengthen your faith and keep you steadfast on the straight Path ... and Grant you the very best in this life and the hereafter my precious muslim veiled queen sister ... keep on smiling and keep on shining 💝💝💝
Allahumma barik sis. I remember when i first started wearing hijab and all the worries I had that I wouldn't be accepted. It was all coming from my own insecurities and the whispers of shaytan. Alhamdulillah 15 years later I'm so grateful i made my decision and have never looked back. I pray Allah makes this transition easy for you. You're in my duas 🤲🏾💖🤲🏾💖🤲🏾💖
Thank you sooo much for sharing this beautiful video❤❤❤Also it’s human nature to be emotional and it shows that that your hijab journey means a lot to you which is a blessing in itself. I hope there’s prosperity and more beauty in whatever you do ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am a 21 year old Christian, and my journey is sort of similar to yours. I have been convicted to start covering my head and to just wear modest clothes. I was very conflicted about this life changing decision but seeing this video has inspired me to go ahead and just start. Thank you for sharing your story, you are such an inspiration to so many young girls out there. May God bless..
I really enjoyed watching you talk about islam, as for someone like me who is a convert I am still learning everyday and I want to also wear hijab but I need to build my confidence first
Really enjoyed this, everyone trying to connect to their different faiths is the best wholesome experience ever (speaking from experience) I wish you strength and peace in your journey
Thank you so much for sharing this. I needed this as a baby in the faith. And you hit on some major keys in here. Especially where it came to seeking the approval of men, regarding how you look. Alhumdulilah
My hijab is a badge of honor and represents what I believe😊PERIOD !!!

I don’t identify with a religion either, I just consider it a “faith-walk” when people ask me what’s my religion or I’ll just say I have a relationship with Christ, used to identify as a Christian, but sooo many people have ruined the meaning behind it by throwing man-made rules & mindsets on it, so the minute you say you’re a Christian, you get judged in the worst way lol .. But I’m praying that you continue to grow in God & for your journey😘
Thank you sm for emphasizing on being graceful with others. A lot of people judge people from the outside without knowing what they’re really battling with. And because they seem a certain type of way on the gram, they think you’re perfect. God is everything to be honest and I’m so happy to hear you speak on your faith and journey so genuinely, I’ve resonated with and learnt so much from this video. Love you sm Tomiwa🤍✨
🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️
I used to wear hijab, but I was peer pressured into it. I’m seriously considering wearing it again tho and have been skeptical. Your video is really helping me
Honestly go for it for the sake of Allah .You will feel more connected and at peace🫶🏾
Go for it! ❤
Those are good friends. They were looking out for your best
@@hxyzazolchak well without getting into details, it’s not what you think it is. They basically said I was either a slut or a hijabi (and that pressure went on for over two years). I’ve always dressed modestly and am always preparing for hijab but that wasn’t my take on hijab.
This is so beautiful to hear, you look lovely. I love that you touch on value as well. I’m a Christian and we say “on fire for God” when you’re drawing closer and all you want to do is live for your creator. Proud of you 🌸
That is such a good way to put it 🥰❤️ thank you so much sis!!
You’re literally the most down to earth UA-camr I know, and that’s why we’re here, and that’s why we love you. Our strength really comes from God. Thank you so much for being you and sharing this journey with us 🙏🏽♥️
Thank you so much 🥺💕💕
Allahouma Barik ! So proud of your choice. I’m a Muslim but not an hijabi. May Allah guides me as He Guides U. Much love ❤
Congratulations to all the girlies that won !
Yessss 🥰❤️
Mashaa Allah mashaa Allah 🤲🏽🥰 congrats sis on engaging in this journey. Society nowadays is so judgmental especially for the hijabi community. But the most important is being in peace with yourself and knowing that you’re doing it for the sake of Allah. ❤️❤️❤️ May Allah continue assisting you. After all it becomes a part of who you are. 😘
Ameen ameen ameen ❤️❤️❤️ I already feel so much like myself in it, it’s definitely become apart of me now 🥰 thank you!
@@TomiwaRodiaAlamdoulillah 🤲🏽❤️
Sierra Leonean 👀😭
So so proud of you girl, as a Christian this is also very inspiring. God has great things coming your way, the ones who want to stay will stay and im deff still one of them! You look stunning with the hijab! May God pour you with all the blessings that you deserve because you do
btw i really appreciate content like this! as a young muslim girl I didn’t have much guidance growing up and i am now trying to learn more about Islam and grow closer to Allah (SWT). i really appreciate the fact that i can relate/connect to you.. & also learn from you! thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Working in faith is not easy. I pray for the strength for you to carry on 💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I am French and I like to follow you very much I watched your video is just wow I am super proud of you, may God accompany you on your spiritual journey you are magnificent with the hijab and I am so happy for you!! go for it girl !!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH😭💕
Hey It’s crazy how Allah works been thinking keeping my hijab on after this Ramadan seeing your video pop first thing on UA-cam just helps me so much may Allah help you in this journey inshallah 🙏🏾
I love your personality Tomiwa wearing or not wearing the hijab doesn't lessen the beautiful being that you are ✨
Exactly ❤️ thank you 🥰
I’m a Christian, but I can relate soooo much to this video. From self image/worth to fluctuating in faith. I think that your open declaration of faith in God is beautiful. I know that it can be difficult. Sending you nothing but love❤️
As Salaam Alakium Wa Rahmantuallahi Wa Barakatu Uhkti 😊 I stumbled across your channel while looking for different hijab styles😊I respect and admire your journey SUBHANALLAH welcome sister❤
I really thank you for this video. As a revert (almost 3 years alhamdulilah) it is so tricky as a woman to find your way. I’m typically reluctant to comment on certain content especially regarding islam out if fear of ridicule but I am always curious to know what is the deciding factor behind everyone’s decision. The hijab is beautiful and women who choose to wear it full time I admire greatly. I admire the change and pray for Allahs guidance along my journey as well🙏🏾❤️ I look forward to more content from you❤️
I relate to everything you say about the hijab, this hijab and modest feeling is so special🥺
Tomiwa, you are a beautiful person inside & out and that is why I follow you! I am not Muslim and I don't really look anything like you (diff race, state/coast, etc.) but you are easily one of my favorite UA-camrs I follow. Please know you are a gem. I'm so glad I found your channel!
This is such a positive video on the hijab, thank you. It really does make me look forward to wear mine, InshAllah 🥹🤍
I just started wearing hijab permanently too inshallah . May Allah swt makes it easy for us all and I love your content’s sister 🙏🏽💕
Masha’Allah ❤
Yes it’s true there’s not alot of hijabi youtubers🙂
Unlike Instagram and tik-tok
I don’t always have time to watch videos on UA-cam these day but for some reason, I just had to watch this one. It made me so emotional and it has inspired me. I have been seriously struggling lately and this made me feel not so alone in my journey. I love you so much for the sake of Allah tomiwa and i pray Allah SWT continues to protect you my love. This video has helped me and I many others. You are a blessing on earth to so many 🤍🥺
Awwww Aisha 🥹🤍 thank you so much 😭 you’re DEFINITELY not alone, it gets easier just have faith. I love you too girl!
This is just beautiful. I'm a Christian and I can relate to so much of what you say. I am also on a journey to dress more modestly (. I love how Muslim women make it look so amazing! The journey of faith is tough but so worth it. ❤ You look amazing as always!
You've always been beautiful and wholesome!! this is the icing on the cake, and you've inspired me as a christian to be more modest in my appearance!! Also, you can do the wig reviews by using a model maybe? if you still wanted to. Proud of you for being authentically you in this world filled with clones❤❤❤
That is an alternative! Idk if I love wigs enough to do them on someone else tho 😂 but thank you so much ❤️
You could use mannequin, you don't have to necessarily use someone else, Happy you are on this journey, keep it up
This resonated with me. I’m so happy for you Masha Allah. and I’ll watch your content either way. Yes, I got Locs once I decided to wear the hijab permanently and it’s been the best .I slack on my journey sometimes and last year I almost took it off, but Alhamdulilah I did not.
Try using a silk lined under cap , it helps with the oil staying on your scalp. Lol.
I love you ❤
Ps: you inspired my UA-cam journey too.
I knew we’d get the Hijab journey tea as the next upload!!! Tuned in🌹❤️
You know me all too well 🙈💕💕
may Allah continue to make this journey easy for you and bless you for your efforts ameen !! seeing you wear the hijab is so inspiring and helpful to see as a hijabi myself, and you look so beautiful in it allahuma barik! thank you for posting this video and sharing your story💕💕💕
Jazakallah so much for this sis!! I’m struggling so much with this and I’m on social media so this is reassuring 💕
May Allah make it easy for you.❤
I love your openness and honesty in sharing your journey with us! may Allah make it all easy for you ❤
Ameen 🥰❤️❤️ thank you!
I'm a Christian and new subscriber(from early January), this was so beautiful to watch. You inspired me to grow my faith as well at the beginning of the year. I hope to strengthen my faith as well🤍So happy I came across you channel😊
i genuinely admire people that wear hijabs , and my reasoning may be weird but i feel like it’s so cool 😂.. you automatically stand out.
I’m Christian but you motivate me
I have always had fire to do things right by God , and I’m happy you shared your journey, thank you
This is so beautiful and authentic. Stick to your path 💛
Thank you❤️
I’m a believer in Christ and I decided to take my journey seriously this year and my life has made a 360 and I’m glad to see you on your journey as well and I’m so proud of you beautiful ❤❤❤
I’m sooooo happy to hear that 🥹❤️ and thank you so much!
❤️❤️❤️
I am so grateful as I am Hebrew and I've been just not walking in yeshuah ways but this has been inspiring to get back aligned and back to Abba father so I support u n ur journey n may God continue to bless u
i’m not religious but i’ve come to appreciate modest clothing even in my 20s. it feels very powerful in a culture that zexualises everything from the food we eat to going to the gym. i’ve also found a lot of my modest pieces are a lot more versatile than some of my other clothes so it’s a win-win!
Everything you said! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 It feels so good having a say over who has access to you and it’s definitely a lot more versatile!!
Very profound tomiwa. This was deep, i really understand you. So proud, I’m very glad i bumped in your channel, you give me so much value.
Thank you so much ❤️ I’m so glad this moved you in some way! 🥰
@@TomiwaRodia Girl! You can’t begin to imagine lol, i am about to make a life changing decision and this video was sent from God, sometimes you have to do what only you understands for your life without anyone’s validation. Thats my take. I pray that we are forever aligned 🙏
I just saw the topic and I clicked on it, and I also just found your channel. As a Yoruba Muslimah, it is nice to see another Yoruba Muslimah wearing the Hijab expressively. I don't see much of that in our side of Yorubans, especially in the West, and with the Nigerian culture of owambe parties, and the need to just blend in with the crowd- too many identity crises. I resonate with your Hijab journey, and I got a lot of resistance to wearing it. And I kept it up for a long time before I relaxed, now I'm traveling back to wearing it up and prayerfully, better, and permanently. Hijabite sister is a 'Worrrrdddd!' If you grow up in Nigeria, you would know! Keep it up, and keep it on!! May Allah help us all, and accept it as acts of Ibadah.
you've really inspired me to reconnect with my faith! i can relate to things happening that pushed you back into your faith in a deeper level (i went through a breakup last year and started a job that didnt align with me and that really made me lean on God's strength and love to keep me going)! we're very very proud of you and you are a vessel to help others reconnect with their faith and beliefs 🤎 your transparency and journey has helped me a lot 🥺 much love
Thank you so much 🥺❤️❤️❤️
Your story is inspiring I kind of relate to you when it comes to the hijab decision. When I grew up my parents told me once I get my menstrual I had to start wearing it. I got my menstrual at age 9 and did not want to wear because I was young, lack of understanding, and didn’t want to get bullied. But I still still wore it all the way up to age 16. Then I stopped because my parents told me I didn’t have to wear it and I craved getting and having my hair done. My mom also would sometimes wear it here and there. Highschool I was wearing weave and etc I just loved getting my hair done. My dad on the other hand wanted me to wear my hijab so when he was around that was the only time I wore it or when praying and going to the mosque. Then sophomore year of college I started back covering my hair and wanted to get closer to Allah. So honestly it’s been an on going battle for me. Recently I got married in November of last year Mashallah. And I have been debating about wearing my hijab again. Well I made my decision Insha’Allah I am going to wear my Hijab because I want to be a better Muslim and Allah told us to. I want to please Allah not everyone else. Hijabs are beautiful and Muslimahs look very beautiful 😍😍✨ wearing them. My biggest issue with wearing hijabs was I loved looking good and wearing different hairstyles. Well I can still look good in hijabs. And more power to you sister for keeping your word and sticking with the hijab.💕 It’s a battle for sure, but it’s all worth it.❤️
May Allah make to easy for you and keep you steadfast. ❤
@@micro-uhgresh-uhnn ameen and ty💗
Omg my love!! I am so happy for you, may Allah make the journey easier for you ilyyyy!!!!!
Watching this made me so emotional. Thank you for sharing your story/journey. I believe I speak for so many of us when I say that I am so incredibly proud of and inspired by you. May Allah continue to strengthen, protect and elevate you! Much love sis 🤍 (p.s. thanks for repping for the Yoruba babes!)
Stay Strong 👑!! 💖
TOMIWAAA LOOKING GORGEOUS AS ALWAYS
Thank youuuuu 🥺❤️❤️
watched this while doing my makeup and resonated with every word! i think the most beautiful thing about being a hijabi is the fact that when you enter a room good people will recognise you as a kind, generous, patient, honest and responsible person. they know what your hijab represents and regard you highly 🤍.
The glow you have is so differnet and you can truly say you are at peace and have such a new joy about you. Im going to be another as a Christian comment lol, but I can defitenly relate. God has always been calling me all throughout my life. I always was curious about God and he's been calling me at such a young age. People in my family tell me to live my life, date and have fun, but I truly felt I am called to wait until marriage, Im called to carry out a purpose and when God calls you and you answer it may look odd or different to others because it truly is. Living for God is to not be of this world so it may be challenging you but as you said God is truly your strength and He will give you all you need to spiritually grow.
We love the growth and transformation! You are definitely an inspiration for me in my journey of getting closer to Allah. Mashallah 🤍
Yes we do! Thank you so much 🥺🤍 may Allah make it easy for us to get closer to Him!
@@TomiwaRodia Ameen! No problem sis, you got this! ❤️❤️
Your journey is super inspiring and touching lives by making us get closer with our faiths. I’m excited to follow along you❤❤
Congrats On Being One Of The Winners Of The Giveaway 🎉🎉..
This is melted my heart, especially because I’ve been thinking about wearing the hijab 🧕 Mashallah ❤️
Rooting for you ♥. I'm also Muslim and you are truly an inspiration!
You have no idea how helpful this video was. May Allah bless you and make your journey easy. Ive been knowing in my heart that I want to wear the hijab one day it has just felt so hard to officially do it. But Alhumdulillah I feel like I'm getting closer every day to just doing it and women like you are so inspiring and help make me feel not alone. Thank you for sharing your story 💞
Fellow hijabi here🤚🏽 May Allah make it easy for you.❤
Loved this video!! It’s very inspirational! A lot of the topics you’d touched on have been things I’ve currently been struggling with, but Inshallah, Allah will make it easier for me to just wear the hijab one day!!!!
I'm a Catholic Christian. I watched your video sometime around March with my personal account. It was so inspiring and relatable. Especially because I was barely two months into being a full time veiling Christian. You really are inspiring and I've been subscribed and watch your videos since then. I'm Nigerian too! Thank you for sharing your story. I hope to share mine too
First time here and I’m already in awe of how real you are may Allah make this journey easy for you 🫶🏾
Mashallah, this video is so beautiful, I’ve cried my eyes out from start to finish! You look SOO beautiful with your hijab. I pray one day i can get to this stage. I’m in a phase where i feel afraid of what others may say or think of me as i dont feel like im strong in faith, especially as a revert i feel like i have to prove myself, i guess there’s also an element of feeling unworthy within myself due to certain life choices and bad habits. But i love this for you! All i can do is pray i get there and your content really does help push me in the right direction, please never stop what your doing
I am not Muslim but I greatly enjoy your videos none the less because I think it is essential to learn about all the different beliefs and lifestyles people have. I think your position as a Muslim and Hijabi content creator is really valuable and I thank you for sharing your stories!
You have no idea the meaning of wearing the hijab. The hijab/veil (full body covering excluding the eyes or one eye) is compulsory in Quran 33:59:
O Prophet! *Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way).* That will be better, that *they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed.* And Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful.
(Bold emphasis mine)
Read the verse. It's basically telling Muslims to annoy/harass'/abuse non-hijab wearing females ("whores"/non-Muslims) instead of hijab women. It's a disgusting vile verse against non-Muslim females.
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable about your journey Tomiwa 😃. I can definitely relate to a lot of things you've said... especially the part about being strong in your Deen. And taking it one step at the time. May Allah make your journey easier, Ameen 🥰
So proud of you beautiful ❤
Girl! I subscribed when I heard you say you’re only focused on what’s for you and not worried about what’s not 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 ❤
Loved this, beautifully worded
Thank you Sister❤
so beautiful and eloquently said ❤️ you’ve definitely touched so many people with this video. sending you so much love!
Thank you so much Keren 🥹😭🤍
girl, 7 minutes in and i'm already crying of happiness for you!
Your journey really moved me because I had recently gone through something so similar which brought me closer to Allah than ever before and got me the strength to finally start putting on the hijab. Every single thing you were saying, I could relate to. This was so motivating and all power to you girly. Hope we both can remain on this journey and continue to grow closer to Allah SWT and fulfill our duties as a Muslim woman. 🥹🙌💓
I 'am so happy for you Tomiwa I wish I had the confidence maybe one day in-sha-allah... and with Ramandan being 2 days away maybe I will try and wear it for the whole month.
I totally agree with you on not "jumping right into it" I always use the word "waltz". Waltz into it, so you can enjoy every single bit of the process
This is my first time watching your channel and I’d like to let you know my first impression of you was “oh mashallah she’s so beautiful” ❤❤
Your mum is an OG😊😍. That's actually what they used to call Muslim sisters that wear the hijab in Nigeria especially amongst Muslim communities some still say hijabite sisters till date.
Congratulations my precious beautiful sister ... I am so happy that you decided to wear your crown your hijab ... May Allah strengthen your faith and keep you steadfast on the straight Path ... and Grant you the very best in this life and the hereafter my precious muslim veiled queen sister ... keep on smiling and keep on shining 💝💝💝
Found this channel last week and I am pretty sure I've watched almost all the videos 😂
Masha Allah ❤
Allahumma barik sis. I remember when i first started wearing hijab and all the worries I had that I wouldn't be accepted. It was all coming from my own insecurities and the whispers of shaytan. Alhamdulillah 15 years later I'm so grateful i made my decision and have never looked back. I pray Allah makes this transition easy for you. You're in my duas 🤲🏾💖🤲🏾💖🤲🏾💖
Liking this before watching. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you sooo much for sharing this beautiful video❤❤❤Also it’s human nature to be emotional and it shows that that your hijab journey means a lot to you which is a blessing in itself. I hope there’s prosperity and more beauty in whatever you do ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so so much 🥰❤️❤️
I am a 21 year old Christian, and my journey is sort of similar to yours. I have been convicted to start covering my head and to just wear modest clothes. I was very conflicted about this life changing decision but seeing this video has inspired me to go ahead and just start. Thank you for sharing your story, you are such an inspiration to so many young girls out there. May God bless..
Same here .. I’m a Christian but I’ve felt convicted to dress more modestly and want to start covering my head as a start.
same with me I have started watching tik Tok videos on Christain veiling. If you want to can do that and order veils and slowly start the process.
@@sarahakua4239 thank you. Are they the same as head scarfs? That’s what I’ve been looking into today.
I really enjoyed watching you talk about islam, as for someone like me who is a convert I am still learning everyday and I want to also wear hijab but I need to build my confidence first
No girl you look so so so beautiful with the hijab. I'm so happy I found your youtube channel.
MA ❤
Thank you sis 🥺🤍
Thank you for your transparency and authenticity
Really enjoyed this, everyone trying to connect to their different faiths is the best wholesome experience ever (speaking from experience) I wish you strength and peace in your journey
Thank you so much for sharing this. I needed this as a baby in the faith. And you hit on some major keys in here. Especially where it came to seeking the approval of men, regarding how you look. Alhumdulilah
