Thank you for giving me a safe space to share my story. I appreciate you and your team so so much 💕
Thank you so much for coming to sit with us and being so open and vulnerable. Your story and experiences have resonated with so many people and your voice is healing people. May Allah bless you in abundance for your bravery and protect you. I love you and I am so grateful to have found a sister in you🤍
@@AishaAlabiAmeen
I needed this as a black woman Muslim, I’m a new convert and I need more of these episodes.
Welcome sister! So happy that this conversation resonated with you. More episodes coming through this wonderful month inshallah. Every Friday at 5pm 🤍🤍🤍
Muslim black woman*
Revert*
Same, newly converted Muslim woman ❤
I didn’t realise how much I needed to hear this all vocalised. I grew up in the UK where there is a big black Muslim population, but dominated by Somalis who have similar ideologies as the Arabs and navigating that growing up was hard and trying to unlearn it now it’s so hard - as you perfectly said a hijabi life crisis 😂 May Allah continue to protect you both, I feel so seen 🤍🤍
I am in the process of learning more about Islam, and hopefully reverting by the end of 2024. So grateful to have found fellow black muslim women during this journey. Thank you, I love this!!
May Allah make it easy for you in your journey ❤! Your black sisters are out here ready to support you. From a fellow black muslimah 🫶🏾
I reverted in 2011. Just do it sis. It's the truth and you can't loose ❤
This was healing! Went from 30 to 23k on my Islam focused TikTok & I couldn’t with getting big. Realizing being black n Muslim was a reason for causing cognitive dissonance for THEM…thank you, may Allah increase y’all ❤
Thank you for speaking on so many topics that need to be spoken about. As an Asian islander Muslim I related to some aspects and loved the touch on African Muslim history that isn’t talked about enough amongst mainstream Islamic media allahumabarik
crying when she said it’s really hard for me not to hate ya’ll😂😭 felt that fr!! Definitely had to delete IG & TikTok
quality is 10/10
Thank you so much 🥹🤍
Why was I thinking the same thing LMFAO! Like wow this is really 4K
Loved this so much, i’m East African (Sudani), but there’s not much representation for EA who look like me. I see myself in the both of you & I am so grateful that you provide platform & inspiration for Muslimahs who look like us 🥹💕 may Allah reward you both with the best of this dunya & the akhira
Yaa Allah this conversation hit different 🎯 I'm glad to see people that look like me having these conversations 😌🍿☕💯 Allahumma Barik sisters! 😘
🎉I wear short sleeves & pants to fit in when in public by myself & at work. I learned it’s too dangerous to be visibly Muslim in places like Florida, Louisiana, Oregon, Mississippi, & Colorado. I refuse to fight with angry racists people. Even Christian family set me up & tried to get me put in prison for being Muslim! 😢😢😢😢😢 We must move in silence 🤫 to communities where we’re happily welcomed🎉
Wow! May Allah swt grant you with steadfastness in navigating these states and safeguard you 🤍✨
I'm sorry that you had to go through this. May Allah ease your journey and struggle.
I feel like the definition of modest has been transformed so much now and days. Yea some women show their neck, wear jeans and etc and YES u are still an hijab ur just learning but at the end of the day Allah said we should wear loose clothing preferable abaya and an hijab the only thing that can show is hands and face and some believe in covering that too I don’t agree wit judging progressing hijabs but let’s also know what we’re doing isn’t right and acknowledge our wrong and this from a person who is still learning and progressing in my hijab
As-salamu alaykum, I love this so much, I'm about 25 years older than you, and I was born Muslim and have had this battle my whole life. Yes, from proud generations of Muslims in my family from the USA, the oldest musjid in the USA was built by Black.
New Subscriber here and I am not sure of why this didn’t go viral. From 25:00 to 30:00 no crumbs were left… none. Also can you provide details about your beautiful Kaftan ❤
I think it’s really important to expand on the fact that, our desire as Muslim woman to be married is not based on world standard. Marriage is important in Islam because it is 50% of our deen so there is no need to hide your desire. However we do need to protect ourselves, and following the guidelines for courtship is our protection. Allah knows best. To do it any other way, is to set yourself up for what Essa Tessa experienced. This was a phenomenal chat. And I look forward to watching the next one.
I love this!! Especially the point about being a non-hijabi and giving salaams. The empathy from Tahira is beautiful, in a world where we still have “born Muslims” admonishing reverts for mistakes or shortcomings, that comment made me feel so seen and appreciated. May Allah swt bless you both for this episode. Sincerely, a Black Muslim woman revert from NY 💅🏿
Mustapha Brigs is a great resource to learn about black muslim history. He has a book called Beyond Bilal excellent book.
Thanks! I am a black Sudanese, and I agree with your topics and issues
So glad we were able to bring to light a topic that resonated with so many people. I hope this inspires those who perpetuate these values onto black Muslims to change their ways
I’m not a Hijabi yet, nor am I Muslim (yet), but I’ve bought a few Hijabs from Veiled…. And it’s so unfortunate to know that that happened….. I don’t think I’ll be supporting them anymore…. Smh.
Ramadan Mubarak 🌙 This was a truly wonderful conversation. Very relatable on multiple levels!Looking forward to the rest of this series 🙌🏿
Ramadan Mubarak beautiful 🥹🤍, this comment warms my heart and I’m so grateful to Allah got bringing in such an amazing group of women into our community. We’re so excited to share what we have in store for you all🤭
Wow. I didn’t not know I needed this.

I needed this. My finacé is Muslim and I have been observing this Ramadan and I just feel the religion is beautiful and I want to learn more especially from a black female Muslim perspective
I can’t believe I just found you now ! May Allah rewards you for taking the time to talk about black Muslim women
. 💗
Im loving all this information on how they knew the quran during slavery time ! Definitely my first time hearing that 😍
May the peace blessings and mercy of Allah be upon you both. This was everything I never knew I needed. This was perfect ladies, please keep them coming insha'allah.
Oh yeah and Ramadan Mubarak. 😂 I forgot. 💀💀
Salaams Sisters and thank you I really enjoyed taking Tea with you!! Tahiry love the London accent🎉Looking forward to hearing more from you both. Ramadan Mubarak❤
Also Sister Aisha loved the way you code switched into your Yoruba accent too!!! It made me enjoy it even more🥰
I haven’t even watched yet but I liked it, subscribed and turned the bell. But I did catch the title and as a black women, I’ve experienced first hand racial issues from Veiled while working with them. It’s the holy month so I’ll just say that I prayed Allah cleanses the heart of us all. Ameen! Keep going sisters! Fun vlogs, family and black excellence on my channel if you guys wanna tap in!
43 year I old revert here, I’ve been a Muslim going on 9 years and this video really hit the nail on the head. I thought I was tripping about non black Muslim women but yall are on point. I love this ummah but sometimes I have to pause 😅
Salam ladies, the algorithm was algorithing with this one. I too am a black Muslim woman and I recently joined dating apps and wheeww chile the insecurities brought out.. being a black Muslim woman means navigating more than just our faith, I also remember being shamed in the masjid for being curvy. I applaud you guys for creating a safe space to make us feel same, allahuma barik and look forward to many more of these!
Mashallah, good video girls ❤
Great conversation 🤍🤍🤍 Love you T!
Thank you so much for watching beautiful, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🤍
Thank you babyyy!!
@@AishaAlabi you did an amazing job hosting sis! May Allah bless you 🤍
i havent watched the whole video yet, maybe you will talk about it later (i hope so!) but if you dont know about Mustafa Briggs, he's a young scholar we all should know about. He wrote two books about Black Muslims and he has done many interviews on youtube. look him up!
37:14 I agree with this SO MUCHHHHHHH it’s like they lose the good intentions those vids are supposed to have
New subbie💕
Aisha you look so good in hijab
You look sooooooooooooo beautiful modest sis ❤❤ allahuma bariik❤❤
yassssssssss
haha love when you switch to the african accent aisha
i really enjoyed the video. however muslims not subscribing to zodiac signs isn't just ppl being "weird" it is apart of tawheed. i recommend the book "Fundamentals Of Tawheed by Abu Bilal Philips" He goes into detail with evidence from the qu'ran and authentic hadiths about this topic and a lot others. I used to think not subscribing to zodiac signs was a bit extreme until i read this book that explained the topic properly ;).
You know, I actually really appreciate this comment. Thank you so much for sharing this resource, I’m gonna look into it. Thank you so much once again 🤍
@@AishaAlabi you are so welcome. thank you for the video and giving black muslim women a space to b heard. in’sha’allah we can get a pt.2 one day👀

My number one OTD ⭐️🤍

I’m a white Muslim revert, married into an Arab family who has been super non judgmental, accepting and loving. However, my husbands friends’ wives, who are born-arab Muslims, put the PRESSURE on me to be a “traditional Muslim” wife which really means “traditional” in the Arab sense. From the clothes I wear (I’m a hijabi), to how my house is decorated, to how I speak and interact with people in our close circle, it is ALWAYS spoken about that there is something I need to change or fix. I have been Muslim for several years before meeting my husband. My journey is Islam is so deep and personal and it still shocks me to this day that if I do not fit into the “Arab” version of Islam and what that looks like, that I am not seen as Muslim. I am questioned constantly if my husband forced me to wear hijab (no), if I know there are 5 prayers (obviously) and if I know how to recite Al-Fatiha (yes). As I’ve gone deeper into my faith I have wanted to make the decision to wear niqab. My circle of “friends” were aghast and acted like this was the craziest I had ever said and I should “ask my husband first” because in their specific country the majority of women do not wear niqab. My husband does not care what I wear or how I practice my faith Alhamdulilah. I have also had to work through my own view of white privilege while now being apart of a minority. I heard one Muslim woman (can’t remember who) said “being a hijabi does not erase your white privilege” and I feel that in my heart. The discrimination a white hijabi experiences is miles apart from the discrimination of Muslims of darker skin tones. And yes, there is intense racism in the Arab world. I have been told by my in-laws and our friends’ parents that my white skin is so beautiful and that their grand children who are more white are more beautiful. It is absolutely insane.
What are alternatives to Veiled Collection (apparel)?
Hi! I actually made a video on different black owned Muslim brands. I recommend supporting these brands instead. Asumayah Shop is also great for modest clothing as well!
@@Adekemijsavage thanks, I'll check it out. And I like that store as well as the creator of it ❤️
@@xxamazingfruitsssxx you’re welcome lovely! 💐✨

Quran
Surah 46:9
Say, “I am not the first messenger ever sent, nor do I know what will happen to me or you. I only follow what is revealed to me. And I am only sent with a clear warning.”
Jesus in the Bible
John 14:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again 3 days later, He was the perfect sacrifice whom God have sent because he was sinless and perfect, How will your sins be payed for if the wages of sin is death? Just like a criminal standing before a judge in a court case, should the criminal be set free after committing murder just because he apologizes to the judge? A just judge will send that person to jail because they broke the law. God is just as well. In Christianity since we all sin and fall short of Gods glory He made a way for us to be redeemed from the death we deserve by sacrificing his son Jesus to take the place for us. We obtain this gift of salvation by having faith believing in Jesus Christ as our savior. Through Him is how we will all make it to heaven, How will you enter Gods kingdom?
In Islam, sincere repentance for sins committed against yourself entails fulfilling specific conditions, admission of wrong, uttering any expression of repentance, committing never to do it again, and regretting having done it. When it comes to crimes committed against other humans, seeking forgiveness from the person wronged is necessary. Otherwise, restitution must be made on the Day of Judgment when everyone will be held accountable for their actions.
The teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) underscore the importance of seeking forgiveness from those we have wronged. In one Hadith narrated by Abu Huraira, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Whoever has wronged his brother, should ask for his forgiveness (before his death), as (in the Hereafter) there will be neither a Dinar nor a Dirham. (He should secure pardon in this life) before some of his good deeds are taken and paid to his brother, or, if he has done no good deeds, some of the bad deeds of his brother are taken to be loaded on him (in the Hereafter)." (Sahih Bukhari)
Is your logic that, it makes more sense that a person isn't held accountable for their own action but an innocent person is instead held accountable for the actions of everyone else but himself? that doesn't sound like justice but "For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.” (Quran 109:6)
Jesus just like Muhammad (SAW) is a prophet and messenger sent as a mercy to mankind to warn us.
Their dresses aren't good and very overpriced 😂. My cousin got me amazing clothes from overseas.
Subhnallah they still don’t have black and brown girls as their models for different colors hijab 😂
In Islam there's no race, place stop using these words like black Muslims. It's just causing division in the umah. May Allah swt guide us all
The reality is there is division… you just don’t or cannot understand the experiences.
“O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware.” - Al-Qur’an 49:13.
We are one ummah, but please don’t “All Lives Matter” this issue.
I strongly disagree with the “the indigenous people of Egypt are not those who are there now” bffr. How are you gonna say the people of NF and not indigenous? Please look up North African phenotype and look into our history and you’ll know.
How can you un “arabify “ Islam when the Quran is literally written in Arabic and Mecca is literally an ARABIC country as are several Muslim countries? U say they are racist but this whole video u segregated us as back women and reduced every single talking point to our skin color. I don’t think it’s right to blame our skin color for every slight-I could easily say you have it easier in this country as an immigrant because you’ll never understand the black American woman experience and you’ll always be viewed as privileged but that would be unkind and an unfair assessment considering the fact that many American women are more privileged than you and I have 0 information about your perceived privilege🤷🏾♀️. We celebrate MLK every year yet still judge others on their skin color rather than the content of their character while accusing others of doing that to us. It’s literally projection. I’m a black American woman and disagree with nearly everything said in this video. There’s no benefit to the Marxism in Islam . Why do black women always want to segregate instead of integrate? I’m not a black Muslim, I’m Muslim. Simple as that🙄
Great episode! 🫶🏽 I really enjoyed the conversation ❤️
wow thank you so much for this ; ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🍉🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
