Wow thank you for these. So random but so beneficial
What about killing the infidels like Quran says. Quran says nothing about any of these you mentioned by the way !
Hypo the Quran never says to kill anyone.The murdering of anyone, no matter what religion is one of the highest sins. The Surah in which it mentions what you’re referring to was in the context of war, surely you can’t expect Muslims to just stand idle and not defend themselves when they are being attacked? Educate yourself before making yourself look like a fool who is just trying to hate on Islam.

I'm 17 and I long for a sister more than anything. (I have 3 brothers), this video made me get all teary cuz it's such a huge blessing to have sister-like mentors like you 💛🌻

ALLAH KNOWS what is better for each of us.
As a convert I have struggles wearing the hijab and I am aware that I should wear it.
So in the past 3 months I started wearing a turban at work and some other days and I had been receiving compliments from some Muslim and non Muslims about it.
Some non Muslim had tried to make fun of me. I try to ignore their comments donot feel bad about it and keep a nice face since I shouldn’t get mad. Alhamdulillah my husband has been very supportive and helped to keep trying.
In the other hand very few Muslims had seen at my turban as not wearing anything and as you says pretty much saying it is better not to have it on since I show my neck.
I think wether or not my hijab is right or wrong as someone who is struggling wearing the hijab listening to compliments really help you to keep trying and instead of “religious Muslim” commenting the wrong in me. I will keep trying and inshallah feel comfortable in it and at some point have it as part of my identity.
You're doing great dear!!!
Baby steps at a time... But do aim to Wear the proper hijab as well... May Allah bless u sister
I’m new to hijab as well keep strong and know why you are doing it and pray for confidence and strength sister 🥰❤️🙏
I really like the way you talk. sounds matured and reasonable ✨

Agree. And i ask allah to give her highest Level of jannanh❤️
I share your thoughts about Jasmine.
مأجورين في مصاب ابي عبد الله الحسين عليه السلام
I’m not Muslim but I don’t know why I enjoy watching all her videos 💛🤎
I think it’s her mature vibe. It’s calming and loving.
It's nice to learn about other peoples views. I'm muslim but I watch plenty of people who are atheist or christian or jews.
Muslim are people, too, you see 😄
I’m so happy someone isn’t afraid to speak about this
You’re so well-spoken and understanding. I love how respectfully and logically you approached this concept. Much love xx
i liked when she talked about young Muslim girls and how these kind of things can affect teenagers. that's really tru and it's an issue that Muslim community is suffering from due to social media. Thanks sister for mentioning that. That reminds me Of a hadith of prophet Mohammed: muslims are like one body, if just one part was hurt the whole body will hurt just because of that single part.
It’s sad because most of these influencers get their huge followings from hijabs and the Muslim community, and when they reach a high following, they take it off. I'm not a hijabi myself but I cannot imagine being one and looking up to to a hijabi that at the end takes off her hijab, since I look up to that person I might subconsciously want to be like the new her. Consequently, this can make you less devoted to Islam and potentially make you question your religious beliefs. And it can be really hard to re-educate yourself of the reasons behind it. “Influencers” who put themselves a certain way to the world have to honest about their real identify because when you lie or hide your true belief, it’s not just gonna affect one person but thousands. And last but not least with influence comes responsibility, you have to be able to lead people, not make them question themselves at the end.
If you follow them because of their hijab when they take it off unfollw them it's not very difficult thing to do and at the end it's their choice maybe at the beginning they really did believe hijab they haven't done it for followers I know many and they've got more followers since they've took their hijab off
Who took off their hijab like what influencers?
@@fatimayusf Annam Ahmad
@@fatimayusf Dina Tokio
You're not supposed to be looking up to them. Your identity is not their responsibility.
i think there’s a huge disconnect in our community when it comes to hijab. we all want the best for our sisters so if you don’t have anything kind to say to the sister, please make dua for her instead. let’s not add to the negativity that they will inevitably be receiving. we would all want the same done for us if we were in a similar situation 💓
Absolutely ❤️
I don't think this is the right approach. One has to publicly criticise them because their sin is done in public. That is the way of the shari'ah.
Just think about the people they influence. Many young members of our Ummah look up to them, so their wrong will impact their faith. I believe you have good intentions, but it is on all of us to publicly denounce that which is done in public.

Took every word out of my mouth👏🏿 finally someone spoke up
ua-cam.com/video/BEKP0wpY-bY/v-deo.html
It does, one year ago I was considering taking off my Hijab when moving to USA, then I came across your chanel, I fell in love again with my Hijab and how it's really a part of my identity, I was following a couple of "influencers" who took off their Hijab and I guess I got affected by them! I though that taking it off can make me cool and protected, but you totally destroyed this image.
So thank you for changing the way I thought and thank you for being a great influncer♥️
❤
İs it problem wearing hijap in USA?
I as a teenager who wears the hijab want to Thank you for caring because l can feel your love in this video machaAllah may ALLAH BLESS YOU🤍
@Salma X period 😭✨💕
It kinda disappoint me whenever a influencer takes off their hijab, they gain immense following out of it and then when they become famous, they take it off. However, I’m not going to judge or hate on them bc honestly it’s their own journey and it’s personal to them as it’s between them and God only.
I agree
But not all people only follow the person just because they have hijab on. I follow many hijabi not because of their hijab but becuase of their manners and other muslim things about them. The hijab is not EVERYTHING a muslim woman is. There are many other things that are important in islam and that a woman must be. I look up to them for that rather than just because of the hijab. And who said it was her intention to gain followers just because of the hijab to just then abandon it? Maybe she just happens to be a hijabi and loved making videos and her intentions were not to make her videos about her hijab rather about other topics.
Agree!
S k yeah, I agree with your points. However, majority of people follow a hijabi because of their hijab hence the immense hate when one takes it off. I wish ppl would stop attacking them and their personal choices. Taking off a hijab does not make a person any less of a Muslim and it’s a choice as well. And I agree that there are more to Muslim women than just their hijab, such as praying and doing charitable deens which one may look up to. ( apologies for any grammar mistakes, English is not my native language 😔)
If you follow someone for their hijab when they take it off you can unfollw it's not that difficult
I’ve really been wanting to wear the hijab lately. I’ve just seen SO many ppl around me take it off and I fear that once I put it on I wouldn’t be able to face the struggles and end up taking it off. There’s just so much running thru my mind when I try on my sisters hijab but I’m scared I will never be ready. I love watching Jasmine cuz she seemed so confident in who she is and I hope one day inshAllah I can carry that same confidence in a hijab.
Sister, if you put it on with the purest intention to do if for the sake of Allah and nobody else, then you will never take it off. That will never happen because you will always have Allah. You may have ups and downs and feel like you want to take it off, but you will not because your intention was to do it for Allah’s sake only and Allah will always be with you. When girls put it on for other reasons like fear of their parents, impressing society, for fashion or they don’t renew their intentions and remind themselves why they do it, then it is inevitable they will take it off because our relationships with people always change. Fashion trends always change. But Allah, He is always with us no matter what. Our relationship with Him gets stronger and stronger the more we strive to do things and sacrifice desires for His sake. When you do it out of fear of Allah and to please Him, Inshaa’Allah you will never take it off. May Allah allow you to start this journey and make it an easy one for you and a means to strengthen your relationship with Him. Aameen☝🏽
I feel you sis. I wore the hijab when I was 9 like Jasmine. In high school however, my friend group that was Muslim took off their hijabs and lost their connection to Allah (SWT). It made me feel so isolated and alone. Especially since when they weren’t hijabis they would go swimming or partying without me. I sort of lost my Iman and I wanted to be like the other girls. That’s when I realized what Jasmine said in the video. Society influences your outlook on the hijab. Having to deal with the negativity of wearing the hijab on my own, I had doubts. I believed that since I wore the hijab, I wouldn’t make it as an architect, my friends would judge me (which happened), that males wouldn’t be attracted to me and I would never get married. It was only after I started following a bunch of Muslimahs whose life centered around their deen and seeing their success and happiness and peace in the way of life they had, that I realized I could have that too. I updated my wardrobe to maximize my Iman but still be stylish enough to feel confident (much like what Jasmine and other Muslimahs wear) and I started indulging in the Quran and friending Muslims who had a strong Iman. Elhamdullilah I’m happy and I would never remove my hijab! Don’t let those around you influence your journey with the hijab negatively (my own father did that to me), have your own outlook and be who you see yourself being in the future. Sorry that was so long but Inshallah you find confidence wearing the hijab!
May Allah guide you on your journey ❤️
You definitely will gain confidence. It's a journey. The beginning stage is always hard and it's normal. With that being said, trust me when I say, you don't need to rush it, honey. Take some time, It's fine.And, Insha Allah, If you want to, you will pull off the Hijab beautifully and confidently for sure! I believe there are certain orders from Allah that are way way more important than Hijab and should be thought about first and foremost.The verses of Hijab were the last commandments to be revealed.After Salah, after Zakah, after inheritence, after fasting, Zakat-ul-Fitr and after Marriage and Divorce which is in Bakarah. The verses of Hijab were the very last commandments to be revealed in terms of personal dietary laws and what not. No doubt, Hijab is very important but my point is that many of us have made Hijab even more important than Salah.So, what I'm trying to say is that first take small steps towards Salah, kindeness, fasting,charity, service, learn more about Islam and when you feel ready start wearing Hijab and you'll Insha Allah find yourself more comfortable and confident.💕
*Sorry for the huge lecture haha.Just wanted to help. Ignore if not interested.*
To read your comment and the replies on your comment really made me emotional, because your comment really reflects how i feel...i've been wanting to wear the hijab now for 2 years and have been struggling alot. God gives me and you the strengths to do it InshaAllah!!
I know it is out of the topic, but please keep me in your prayers. I have been interested in Islam for good year, I really want to be part of this beautiful religion but I am still too shy to make such a big step, specially because I live in very christian,small,eastern european city. Thank you all
Praying that your journey is easy and blessed! ❤️🙏🏼
Hi
How are you?
20:00 min.. I remember when I was a teenager I had started practicing hijab..i would wear some days and then remove it..and so on..there was a girl in my year who was a full time hijabi and she actually said that either u wear it or u don't... I was so affected that I never wore the hijab again until few weeks ago.. (I am 28) it made me realise that how her advice affected me (i don't blame her as we were all young) and the guilt of listening to her especially when I saw on FB that she stopped wearing the hijab eventually..!!!
Your hijab should depend only upon ur relationship with Allah and no one else
she literally just spoke facts.
Maybe just maybe all these women who are no longer wearing their hijabs are doing it one after the other because they feel they have the support and safety to do so. You can be a good Muslim whether you wear a hijab or not and both are beautiful. Please respect people’s choices either way and let’s focus on the modesty aspect of Muslim fashion as opposed to the hijab aspect.
Yes you can be a good Muslim without the hijab. Undoubtedly. Allah Knows the intentions and the heart of a person more than anyone. But wearing hijab is MORE virtuous and a person who is wearing one is definitely doing something more virtuous than those who are not. Just facts.
Should we provide people support for their sins? We can't lose our moral compass and objective sense of what is right and what is wrong for the sake of appearing non judgemental to insecure people who take someone perceiving their choices to be wrong as a judgement of their character. Not wearing the hijab is a sin, period, and sins are not beautiful. How can I call something Allah(SWT) forbade beautiful? Do I think its beautiful when I miss a prayer simply because its my choice and therefore I should feel supported in that? No, I don't. I don't believe all choices are commendable; there is such thing as a wrong choice. And to say that we should focus on the modesty aspect as opposed to hijab aspect is just not realistic. The hijab is what sets us apart as Muslim women and we should be proud of that. Modest clothing is practiced by many people of many different religions but hijab is most typically associated with Islam. If a girl was often seen wearing loose clothes and one day wore a tighter or shorter outfit, people wouldn't react that much. But if a woman wore modest clothes AND a headscarf and one day decided not to don the headscarf, but keeping the rest of her clothes still modest, people would still be more shocked. Comments like yours are comments I see all the time on social media and it just feels like a desperate attempt to avoid accountability and excuse a general lack of self awareness. Its understandable: we all want to feel like we're doing the right thing, even if they're different things. Unfortunately some things just don't work that way. Regardless of whether or not society or your followers or your friends or family or whoever has the honesty to push you to hold yourself accountable, we will all be held accountable, and it will be much scarier then.

According to a saheeh hadeeth, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, *then with his heart [by at least hating it and believing that it is wrong], and that is the **_weakest_** of faith* .” Narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh.
Khadeeja Abdallah if you feel that you can hold people accountable based on your beliefs of what is wrong and right, that is your prerogative. I do not feel that I can do this. That is not to avoid accountability or due to my lack of self awareness. It is because I am self aware enough to know that I do not hold such an authority where I can judge the choices Muslim woman make in their relationship with their headscarf or with god. My deficiencies are the only ones I’m in a position to judge and I would prefer to be held accountable for how I’ve judged myself and not how I’ve judged others.
@@ponchimunchy7444 But only in the hijab respect right ? I mean the non hijabi could be doing something else more virtuous than the hijabi in another matter that we don't know about? So it doesn't make them more religious ? It "could" make them more religious, but we don't know the full background of the person and I don't think it's right to judge the whole person by saying she's more virtuous bcs she follows one certain command for the non hijabi could be doing something else
How can you say to someone "I can't wait for you to be next" and take the risk of her actually being next and Allah blaming you for encouraging her? People are so stupid.
Thanks for the video, Jasmine. Most rational commentary on this topic yet.
Snarky Larky. 😂😂😂😂 - I just wanted to say this video was SO MUCH NEEDED - thank you so much Jasmine for giving us the flip side of the story xxx
I'm a white American Christian. My Muslim friends explained the concept of Hijab to me and it's so inspiring! I wish we had something like that in our religion. I started wearing more conservative western clothes when I learned about the concept of Hijab and am really happy with that decision. I wish I could do more.
You can do more. Anyway Mary wore hijab. Traditional orthodox christians wear hijab. Also, if you find more truth in Islam you can always join
I am pretty sure in Christianity hijab is mandatory. Marry, the mother of Jesus (PBUH) used to wear the Hijab.
Read the Bible covering your head is spoke of during prayer and prophesying. It also calls us to pray all the time as Christians.
@@rayandaas1695 Where in the Bible does it say Mary covered her head/hair?
@@Babiblu1211 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
1 Corinthians 11:15
I’m not even a hijab wearing person but I do believe in modesty and when I was watching this video All I could say was factssssss 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I usually skip these longer vids, but in this case i watched it all. Every minute is beneficial.
JazakAllahu khayr for spreading different message and adressing ummah rather than person who does something others may not like.
May Allah swt strenghten us
Thankyou so much,due to social media there is such a pressure on us to take off our hijabs,im glad there is someone out there who can support us and stay strong.
we need to send those messages specially to a young girls because following influencer that tack off their hijab ( like fly with Haifa ) no fans can mack them questioning 💔
Thank you for sending those messages that support and help all the hijab girls
I loved this video! It's nice to see a hijabi talk about it, knowing you're speaking from the standpoint of someone who actually knows what it's like to wear a hijab in Western society. The way you compared it to the able/disabled comment was so well explained. It's pretty much how I feel with the hijab myself, society is what makes it hard, is not really the act of wearing it itself (for me). And having the right people around you truly helps!!
I am christian but i really respect people like Jasmine. I really appreciate your authenticity and the respect you have for yourself which reflects your respect to others. Much love❤
I really love your way of thinking and communicating. You say ir in a way that i think most of the ppl are now conviced to what you said :)
I knew I’d love the much-needed video the moment i read the title and just that happen: by every minute that passed, i loved the video even more. I am so so happy FINALLY SOMEONE ADDRESSED this issue. JAZAKALLAH KYRON JASMINE for many things and esp for seeing the issue from followers perspective. It really did put my mind in the positive space that i knew i wanted but had been struggling to reach. Just one thing I’d wish you also talked about, well two actually, PLEASE talk about “how one can help a hijabi on step one to reach step two. And even those who went from step 1 back to 0. Just like the many influencers u said had been doing. Like how can we encourage them WITHOUT them feeling it as an intrusion in their private life or personal matters. And secondly, PLEASEE talk about things where people don’t wear saying “intentions matter>actions” or that “actions are judged by intentions” like there’s this tedtalk by Samina where she says Hijab isn’t compulsory. That one video alone shook my faith and raised MANYYY QUESTIONS AND DOUBTS. But i hope you can continue this session and make many more parts. Alhamdolillah, this video was super beneficial. May Allah bless you for all the love and knowledge you spread about Islam. Ameen and JazakAllah kyron once again. (Ps this video helped me pass the last thirty minutes until Fajr and saved me from watching other sinful things so JazakAllah for that too)
Well said 👏🏽 I would like to add that we should follow Hijabi Fashion content creators who resonate with our (us hijabis) values and level of modesty.
I honestly just follow Jasmine because her content resonates with what I want in a modest fashion. So in a way, we get to chose who to let influence us and who we connect to. I would simply unfollow if one content creator doesn’t resonate with what I look for anymore. Crossing the line and leaving harmful comments defies the Islamic values, as she said. May Allah help all of us struggling 🙌🏽
So sorry that you had to be tagged into that type of hurtful comments. Thank you so much for making this video. I respect you and brother Dawood! Stay strong! Lots of love!
That's the most effective video I've ever watched about Hijab... Seriously, that's so beautiful.. Jasmine, you've just said all the things that I believe in Hijab and would of said about it... May Allah bless you❤️❤️
While I greatly resonate with the ideas expressed in this video (especially the insightful analysis of society being the problem rather than the hijab at the end!) I think some of the language used to discuss women who wear the hijab a certain way was a bit suggestive. For instance, saying that wearing a turban reflects "the level of iman" that one has implies that a Muslim woman's faith is defined by how she wears her hijab- which is not true; covering is important, but the Quran consistently tells us that the essential marks of a Muslim are good character and belief in God alone. I think it's important to normalize "advising" people at times where they could have handled a situation with better character rather than constantly going after hijab because it's an easy target.
But wearing a turban does reflect the level of iman. From what I’ve seen (but not always) most hijabis start wearing the hijab in a traditional way I.e no hair showing, chest covered, lots of fabric etc. Then as time goes on, their hijab “style” changes as does how much they cover. Typically the turban style comes with showing the neck, the hair line, sometimes even unbuttoning one or two buttons on a shirt or even wearing round neckline shirts. It becomes a slippery slope. THIS is what we need to be careful of: the slippery slope. No one goes from one extreme to another in life, whether we’re talking about hijab or any life change. It would be extremely difficult for a full hijab wearing sister to switch to a turban style, hair and neck showing and tight clothing the next day. It would be a shock. It’s the JOURNEY, the very slow changes that lead us to where we end up being. Those changes can either be good or bad.
I agree that we shouldn’t go after people about their hijab. But our outward appearance DOES influence our inward character. I could go into many examples of this but don’t want to make this too long.
You're extremely smart and well spoken. Probably the best speaker I've seen on UA-cam. Your train of thought and communication skills are exceptional
This video should be trending
You're such a beautiful person inside out and this video was really what we needed to hear. Thankyou!
Alhamdulillah i came across your channel. I'm still young and in high school but i've been thinking about wearing the hijab so much nowadays and this video really motivated me and made me think about how powerful and beautiful i would feel in my hijab. i don't wear the hijab yet but alhamdulillah i grew up not wearing revealing clothes AT ALL even without the hijab on and i'm very thankful to my mom for raising me that way. thank you so much for using your channel for such an important topic and addressing it in the best way possible mashAllah. my Allah reward you with the best reward inshAllah. you've truly become such an inspiration for me, whenever i see your videos i always think "mashallah, this is exactly what i strive to be like" i love your thinking and the way you look at everything and how open minded you are. you always take all points of view into consideration and i think that's so incredible. i just want to say thank you once again and jazakAllahu khairun sister❤️ may Allah only show you happy days and positive people. lots of love from a young supporter❤️
You really explained the situation well and I’m glad you touched upon it. Everyone has their own life and it’s up to them to live it and only god can be the judge in the end and that’s what people need to understand. People will always talk but doing what you want and believe in is what needs to be done.
It’s allso sad because the influencers Who take of their hijab inspire others to do:(
you are enough salam. I am so sorry to hear u have experienced this to be honest there ate some albanians like that ofc! But there are allso some good albanian muslims! Its good to hear you dont work there more!! May Allah bless u thank you for your kindess❤️❤️
you are enough we Will always experience that type of things in this dunya thats why we always have to keep BEING Nice and always know all this is temporary and its only by the remembrance of Allah that Our hearts Can find rest❤️❤️
you are enough no i dont Think i would hang out with Them if i Saw how They treated u!!!
you are enough Do u have any social medio we Can text about it privately so all these ppl dont see?❤️
Media*
Finaly someone talks about it in a mature way, thank you Jasmine the last bit of the video really speaks to me. I'm not a hijabi but i've received negative comments about dressing modestly especially during summer. It's bothering me less and less because as I get older I start to understand why some stuff are mendatory and others are forbidden. It makes me so much more confident in my own choices.
Jasmine thank you for talking about this and your words are just so inspiring to me.❤️ Always be you❤️
Im turning 16 and i reverted to Islam but my family are all Christians and they dont know im Muslim and i really want to wear hijab and tell the but they wont exept me i cant wait for the day when i can come out and wear hijab and be a proud muslim not a secret muslim In Sha Allah
wow the disabled analogy blew me away. so perfectly said! thanks so much for sharing what you learned from your professor. may Allah bless him and may Allah always be pleased with you Ameen!
Thank you for this video. Jazaki Allahu khair. The youth really needs videos like these.
I totally agree with you. There are stages of hijab most people don’t have the perfect hijab and that’s okay because no one is perfect plus it’s their personal life. I too also think that having just a bit of hijab is so much better than nothing so please don’t force yourself to fit into the perfect hijab category.
Im a woman who wears hijab, (I don't regard myself to be a "hijabi" because I don't think i wear it the way I am supposed to) but when you put on a hijab your making a public statement that you are Muslim. And when you do that other muslims hold you to a higher moral standard. And you get 💩on for every single mistake. The hijab is supposed to magically make you a perfect Muslim (which spoiler alert - it doesn't!). I have on many occasions wanted to take it off. Not because I feel oppressed in it but because of the way other Muslim people make me feel about it.
Just ignore society, and do it for yourself
A great big sister ❤ I didn't know how much I needed this video and props to you for being the first to tackle this subject. It's easy to get lost in why wearing the hijab can be a "disadvantage" You really, truly, inspire and are a great reminder of how beautiful the reality of hijab is.
Thank you so much for this video. I agree with everything you said and I am so happy to see that there are many others with such a strong, passionate and respectful mentality! It seems you are very considerate of others which is what many people these days can lack especially on sensitive topics like the hijab. I always feel empowered when I wear the hijab and love making the statement that I am a Muslim woman. Please make a part 2! Bless you and your family!
I’ve been wearing hijab for 9/10 years now and on the whole have been okay with it, but your beautiful reminder starting from 25:36 really hit me. I’ve had times where I’ve felt restricted by it or embarrassed e.g going to the gym where not many hijabi’s would go and you would expect a few stares etc. Those instances have never been enough for me to consider taking it off as I remind myself it’s Fard and ‘it’s just the way it is’, and that I really do not want to displease Allah SWT. However, the way you put it about it being the way society is and set up and people’s attitude in your environment that is disabling you (or you perceive as disabling you) from doing certain things is so powerful in removing any resentment you see in wearing it and to appreciate the beauty of it. Thank you Jasmine❤️ may Allah SWT reward you for making this beautiful video and keep your imaan strong. Love from another Yasmeen!
Was literally waiting on this video ❤
Its so rare to see a beautiful soul like you. I admire your strength and bravery to say this all. You’re one of the few influencers that I love so much.
Wonderful video. Jazak Allah. Thanks can't wait to share this video with my daughter when she gets older.
Excellent points! I completely agree with you, especially about the part where you talk about how the obligatory things in Islam are beautiful and meaningful and should not be seen as a burden. It's all about our perspective and our surroundings. There is purpose in all of these obligatory and recommended acts in Islam. As you said, we are all on a journey, and inshallah with time we will become stronger and more knowledgeable about out faith. Thanks for sharing such wise words. 💕
Hi Jasmine, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your advice. Mashallah you feel like an older sister to me, very wise words and loved how you mentioned that hijab is a journey. I love being a muslim but sometimes the community doesn't spread pure love and support. Thank you for your kind words and what you do. :)
One of the arguments that some of these women use (under the guise of female empowerment and feminism) "I believe that women have a right to choose what to do with their bodies" honestly just gets under my skin. Yes, God gave us free will to make all sorts of choices in this life. But what choices are we making?
I completely agree with everything you said Jasmine. As a Muslim girl who grew up in the western world I grew up with a constant struggle with my religion. I was never involved with the Muslim community nor did I have extended family to share my arab/Muslim side of me with. When I got Insta at the age of 15 I started to explore more of that side of me through these influencers. I always deep down inside I wanted to wear the hijab and when I saw these influencers/content creators wearing it so confidently and happily I was so inspired. So I took it upon myself to strengthen my religion and wear it too. 4 years later 80% of those creators are no longer hijabis and a part of my feels betrayed and offended but the other side of me is just thankful to have followed them because they pushed me towards one of the best decisions I’ve ever taken.
Just wanted to share my POV on this topic.
Please do a part 2 bc this really helped me!!!
I really love every single of your videos. U look so mature and u are always trying to advice and guide people of your comunity. And in my case u help me to understand musulim comunity better. I'm not a musulim girl but i really love how u love ur religion and how most of u guys think. I'm soo proud of u. The point of taking of or not the hijab I think is a personal choice and they know why they do that. In my case i fallow u because i love the way u are. I mean both of u. No matter if in a future u decided to take it off i will fallow u. Plus u look soo gorgeos loving so much ur religion that is absolutly beautiful hearing u speak like that. Proud of u. Love from Cuba
Jasmine is so well spoken and understanding mashAllah
I love your explanation - I don’t care what religion anyone is, we all have the duty to respect everyone and love one another. This is beautiful ❤️ I also wanted to ask if you had a daughter and she didn’t want to wear the hijab how would you handle that ?
Loved this, I really like your end discussion about how our environment is the one limiting us - I never thought about that way
Jasmine, this video was so well put together, and every point you touched on was flawless mashallah. We need more people like you too look up to! May Allah protect you and always keep you on the right path inshallah ❤️ much love!
Dear Yasmin, thank you for talking about that issue. Sometimes it helps to hear some things out loud again or to share your thoughts with others, hear opinions from people that inspire you. Especially the part of "hijab is a jouney" and how we concept the hijab (perfect or out) really made me conscious of my own way of seeing it and I caught myself if I would have also had thought like that. You made some important and very good points. The other part which really got me and was mind blowing to me was your example of disability and how (again) a little mindshift can change the whole way how to look at it. Thank you so much I am sure it was helpful for a lot of people and inspires the whole community to try be better persons
MashaAllah! So much wisdom, I feel like you put my thoughts in such a beautiful and effective way! I also love you how kept it neutral without dragging anyone down, keep it up!
This is honestly Ted Talk worthy. Very well perceived and explained with having respect to almost all aspects of this topic
MashaAllah😍 it really helped mee🥺❤️ we need part 2 please 💕
I started following hijabi influencers because I finally felt like there’s someone to there to represent Islam and Muslim women and I felt connected to them. Seeing a few of those influencers removing their hijabs makes me sacred and worry that people will think that oh yeah women are “oppressed” in Islam or else why should they feel “liberated” to remove their hijab, when in reality Muslim women aren’t oppressed and instead we are given such respect and honor. It’s sad to see the, remove their hijabs. ( I don’t know if what I say makes sense but yeah).
Don't be scared, they can't harm islam. It is still one of the top growing religions in the world. If we focus on ourselves individually I promise you that will have more of an impact than influencers trying to reach millions. Allah is with the righteous and the will not succeed in hurting Allah's dean even a little.
I listened to your words without interruption and with complete concentration, I liked the way your beliefs were ✨ mashallah
Totally resonate with your point on disability! I am also majoring in Health Studies too, and it's such an eye-opening program!
Jasmine you have articulated the explanation so well. Appreciate you talking about this.
My soul needed this. I struggle with my hijab and whenever someone takes it off I feel this deep sadness that I can not explain.
I hope Allah grants you ease with your hijab ❤. I used to struggle with hijab too, but it got easier once I started surrounding myself with other hijabis, seeing other people feel beautiful in hijab is really uplifting.
I really appreciate this video Jasmine, those are words that needed to be said. What i took from this video is that YES alot of influencers take their hijab off nowadays and YES it became like some kind of trend, but we are all so focused about the drama and about what OTHERS are doing in their day to day life that we forget ourselves. We need to focus on ourselves and our OWN path with God and STOP judging people, instead START better yourself and better your iman. I really REALLY love this video and I think it's very important for young girls and even boys to watch this. I hope you make a part 2!!
I've been following you since a long time now and this is the first time I am leaving a comment, I guess. I just want to thank you for putting in all your efforts into making this video. It always affects me because I did connect to those influencers in terms of "identity". Thank you for speaking about this topic, it was much needed! Alhamdulillah to have people like you around. May Allah give you more courage and strength, Ameen.
A lot of the women that took the hijab off were British and as a Brit myself, I can say that in 2018/2019 (when the whole taking off hijab thing began) there was a huge shift in the dynamic and culture of British Muslims and British society as a whole. For years, since 2015, the British government has been trying to ‘assimilate’ us into ‘British culture’, in other words, make us ditch our religious values to meet their standards and way of life. A lot of the actions taken were big like they’re trying to mix neighbourhoods up now so there isn’t a community with a high population of Muslims only. They also try to teach kids in school more about British culture and history (in a very biased way) and other stuff that are very un-Islamic. A lot of actions have been subtle too like more big, non Muslim brands are choosing to work with Muslim creators and influencers. This is clearly a marketing strategy to appear to be diverse as if you look at the head office of these brands, you will very rarely find a Muslim staff. Anyways, as more non Muslim cooperations work with Muslim influencers, the bigger their pressure to conform to the brand’s image grows as they also gain non Muslim followers from this, causing them to post less about Islam to avoid alienating their followers. And slowly, their Muslim appearance fades and the hijab comes off. I’m not saying they leave Islam, I’m sure away from the cameras, they continue being practising Muslims, just their virtual image changes to cater to a non Muslim world. It is hard being a hijab-wearing Muslim in U.K. rn, especially for university students and young people looking to begin their career. You’re already struggling to find yourself in this big crazy world and add a piece of fabric that completely barricades you from the world, it’s tough. I felt the pressure to take my hijab too in 2018/2019 but Alhamdulillah I didn’t. My comment is very long but if you read this far, my point is that I don’t agree with the actions of those influencers, but I am empathetic
YEAH ANOTHER ONE! JASMINE KHALIDDDDDD!!!
Your loyalty with Allah SWT has raised a tons of respect in my heart for you. I just want to say I am a not only fan of you but as a sister I Love you.
I love this. I needed to hear this during my turbulent times of iman.
Beautifully said jasmine 🤍 truly an inspiration.
I moved to Australia five years ago I've been wearing the hijab since I was seven now I'm fourteen. I've seen a lot of people change but for me the hijab is a part of who I am and that all people are different. I realized how a bit different I was to others because some of my friends wore the hijab but they had it on and off, which bothered me(because I felt very different to keep it on all the time) but I learned to deal with it. When I grow up I want to become Independent and be me I want be people to like for me and who I am. To me wearing the hijab is something I do for myself not for anyone else I respect everyone's choices and what they want do( I have no right to judge anyone) I do everything like any other person I go out have fun with my friends I go to learn swimming I do them all with my hijab because it became a part of me. I like you a lot and look up to you a lot thank you for doing this video your very inspiring hope you stay safe!
Wow! Thank you Jasmine🥰❤️كل شي قلتيه كتير صح و حمستيني❤️You’re so wise and encouraging
Sis, i barely comment, but thankyou for being a voice of reason. May Allah reward you! Ameen.
I honestly thought this video was just going to be your opinion and didn't expect to get as much value as I did. I am Muslim and live in Canada. I do not wear hijab but struggled my entire life with dressing modestly and I do want to eventually put it on. People do not realize how racist people actually are in these societies and they actually DO make you feel as if you're disabled because you have one on. I loved this discussion and you should definitely do a part two because it was super insightful!
The way you explained was very calm and approachable. I would definitely recommend this video👌🏻☺️
Amazing video! I love how you addressed each and every issue with such poise and maturity :) You are the best Jasmine Wallah! Lots of love and May Allah (swt) continue to bless you!
Thank you Jasmine for posting this! Right on point! Those are some positive subliminal messages ❤️
'hijab is a journey' couldn't be more true! I only put hijab on 9 months ago but I feel like my relationship with it has changed so much already alhamdullilah. Also, ironic but all these influencers taking off their hijab was actually one of the things that inspired me to wear it.
We need more people like you in our muslim communities ,its really true that hijab is a Journey
Thanks for speaking out about those important points
You’ve reflected so many beautiful information about islam first before talking about hijab, im really happy to hear this from you, you talked about it so gently with how really hijab should be like what does it really mean,
Girls all around the world should know how much hijab meant to be a safer wear to her.. its not just a piece of fabric.. its a big crown on their heads to make them feel as queens.. hijab is more than that, allah makes some points and things to be required from use for so many reasons to make us feel safer and more comfortable as well.. we must learn how to fall in love with islam and hijab day by day, its a really important massage from the hijabi girls to all over the world, its for allah first.. allah never wants us to be harmed, islam is something huge it is the life it self.
Thank you jasmine, and thanks to any other hijabi girl thinks about wearing the hijab that way ❤️
Very well said mashAllah! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this talk, I would even say islamic lecture. Very well done mA and very well informed. My daughter is eight now and your insight is very thoughtful. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much for doing this!!!
I really needed to hear that ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you
Thanks for making this video. I felt relief when I watched because you literally speak out what I was thinking about this topic again Thanks💕
I loved everything you said. It makes so much sense.
Thank you for talking about this really important topic jasmine, i already year hijab Alhamdulillah but this Video made me even stronger in wearing it and always trying to better myself, JazakiAllahu kheiran ♥️
Hi Jasmine! i really like your content. i have some Muslim friends in China struggling with their Hijab because it's kinda hard to not care people's view in Non-Muslim countries. It's totally understandable.

Wow this was an AMAZING video! Thank you so much Jasmine. You are very wise and articulate yourself so well. I 100% agree with everything you said. Please make more videos in this Format and about similar or diffrent topics. I think the Muslim Community needs more sisters like you. MasAllah ♡ lots of Love from your turkish follower :D
Great video and encouraging message to young girls who are on the hijab journey. Really proud of you for talking about this Jasmine. :)
I have to say that while I really love the way Jasmine addresses issues, I do feel that there are points that need to be discussed here. Thats not to say that I don't mostly agree with the main groundwork of here opinion, but there are a few points she made in the video that I believe perpetuate dangerous attitudes toward muslim women.
1) How one wears their headscarf is a reflection of Iman + the resulting 'patronization'.
I don't recall what was said exactly, but at some point Jasmine pointed out that we shouldn't instruct muslims to adopt an "all or nothing attitude". Later, she said that just as some people are only capable of praying once a day because of low faith, some women also only feel comfortable wearing a turban "because that's where their Iman is at". Associating a woman's internal faith with their outward appearance perpetuates the idea that women are symbols of faith in a society, and this has lead to women bearing the burden of honor. To elaborate: say one lives in a collectivist society where in order to maintain a healthy social network/respect from neighbors one must appear not only to be religious themselves, but to appear as though they've taught their family well and succeeded at ensuring their family's religiosity. Having the women in the family wear a hijab/niqab etc would be necessary to maintain this image of collective piety if one believes Hijab=level of Iman. This whole image thing doesn't have to be a conscious thought process though. It's normally just a simple intrinsic belief that women should wear a headscarf. This can lead to toxic, emotionally manipulative environments for many women even if they are not physically forced to wear a headscarf. And there are many, many women and women scholars who have strong iman but are simply not convinced of the necessity of a headscarf as part of one's hijab. There are also women who have very strong iman and morals but just aren't convinced of the headscarf for them specifically. The headscarf is NOT an indication of one's morals or iman.
2) Taking off hijab = evil + why this takes away choice
We are taught in islam that one must stand up against evil and uphold justice, which Jasmine cites as a reason to advise women to put back on their headscarves nicely. Why is taking off the headscarf considered an evil act? Where did this idea come from? This idea that having personal autonomy over one's own body is an evil act is so damaging to women. Regardless of what you believe about the hijab, orienting the act of taking it off as an 'evil act' to fight against decimates any possibility of the hijab being a choice. If only 1% of the hijabi community were the ones taking off their hijab, and the entirety of the hijabi community + muslim community saw those acts as evil acts and fought against it, would wearing the hijab really be a choice? If doing something meant you'd not just lose the support of your whole community, but also mean they'd actively fight against what you're doing, would you consider that original act a choice?
Thank you for this thoughtful and compassionate view which I’m sad to say was not reflected in the first few minutes of the video.
Can you imagine if something happened to her or her relationship where she went through a private turmoil?! (GOD FORBID of course!) and everybody decided to make a video on that laughing?
There was a another hijabi influencer who had similar views but much more loving video.
I don’t expect anybody to be perfect but seriously...
the beginning was being catty about religion?!
One should remember that Allah swt can humble us in an instant.
The smirking and snarky laughs was just so off putting. When you do THAT you are telling your followers that it’s OK to do that.
Allah swt protect us from falling into pride even when dealing with ppl who hate us let alone sisters from our own UMMAH! 😔
Let us be humble and kind. 🤲🏻
@@MA-hq4qx I agree, everyone should be humble and kind but I think she was just laughing to lighten the mood and facilitate conversation later on. I can see how that was taken as being prideful, especially when one places themselves on a relatively moral highground, but for me at least I don't take issue with a woman being proud of her hijab and commitment to it. I myself wear a headscarf and take pride in it. I just disagreed with the tone of parts of it and of course the things I've commented above. We need to accept that other viewpoints that differ from ours exist and don't indicate a moral pathology.
Modassir Ibrahmi Could you elaborate what a “Marxist type of woman” is? Without any explanation it seems to me to be a shallow phrase used only to demonize and fear monger against those who *seem* to support a position other than your own. In reality I’m really not trying to comment on whether or not hijab is obligatory. If it helps I will say that I myself take pride in wearing a hijab, not that that should be a qualifier to my argument. What I am trying to say is that the act of wearing hijab says nothing about one’s internal iman and taqwa. The hijab can and should be worn as an expression of that, but that does not mean that simply because one wears it they have iman, or simply because one doesn’t wear it they don’t have iman. Those things are separate issues, and to confuse them can lead to dangerous results as I’ve briefly outlined above. If a women is not convinced of hijab for herself or is incapable of wearing it for whatever reason, she shouldn’t have to be told to either put it back on or loose her iman. The two are not mutually exclusive. She should also have the right to make that decision and not be demonized for it and attacked by a whole community who turn around and say that Islam isn’t oppressive to women and that there’s “لا اكراه في الدين" (no compulsion in religion). How is there no compulsion when a women who speaks about this is called Marxist, a woman of low faith, a women who’s leading a community astray, who’s out of her wits, who hasn’t been raised right, who’s out of control, who’s ignorant of religion? That’s not a “liberal” position to take. It’s one that acknowledges the rights and abilities of women, something Islam concerns itself greatly with.
