Older sis immediately stops talking when her sister starts speaking. She asks big questions and listens to her sister’s response and you can sense that little sis really trusts her. May we all be so loving and encouraging with those young folks in our life ❤️
The older sister is so self-aware and is clearly a very important role model to the younger sister. I don't even have that wisdom and I'm 10 years older than she is. It serves the younger one well to be able to be open and honest with her, because the older ones embraces what she says with such intelligence, maturity, tenderness and empathy. What a precious relationship they have.
as a muslim, i appreciated the conversation they had about questioning your faith and the effect of the people on religion. it was such an important topic to be discussed and i'm glad that they're comfortable enough to have that. Also, they have such a beautiful sister dyamic :') they're so cute
Having a sibling that genuinely encourages you to be the best version of yourself is irreplaceable. I hope they realize they have a treasure right in front of them and to cherish those moments ✨ I hope they take eachothers advice and never forget who they are.
Idk, I really related to the younger sister, and it felt like the older sister was speaking in terms and concepts that don’t really resonate with the younger sister. This goes for all of us, I think the greater work in empathy and affection is not to just give it but to understand where the other person is coming from and care for them how they want to be cared for. The “you’re not a snack, you’re a whole meal” comment was uncomfortable...especially if that’s not what the younger sister cares about or for. Also, the emphasis on self-love and beauty, as if those are the end points/destination of our relationships with ourselves, makes it seem as though there’s only one way to feeling like we have become a whole person, and I think that’s a narrow view on identity and personal development normalized by internet culture that does more harm than good.
@@saltandpeppers8788 I agree. Layla seems more comfortable with the occasional tragedies and gray areas of life, and her sister doesn't understand that. She seems to want Layla to see the world as she does.
When the elder sister said “Never lose that softness” it was so beautiful, because when i started watching the video it was the first thing i noticed about Layla- she encompasses softness and poise. I too hope she always remains that way. Wishing them the best for the future.
Being born a muslim, I always considered myself on the spiritual side of it more than the religious part. My spirituality keeps me sane because it revolves around God only, rather then the religious part that includes people's opinions on how things should be.
I like the way you define spirituality and religion. I am more spiritual than religious but couldn’t figure out a way to clearly (and separately) define the two.
Assalaamu Alaykum! I was raised in the Roman Catholic faith and I have had the same experience. I feel like just being a decent person is enough, because even if there was a clear definition of perfection, I don't think anyone could possibly achieve that status. So, I just pray for others and treat everyone with kindness and respect.
A simple reminder to everyone: Be kind to one another. You don't know the person you're judging and you have no idea what their relationship with God is like. It's easy to point finger rather than look in a mirror.
As someone who grew up a Christian child around children of other faiths or none.. I def could relate to feeling like I can’t ask questions or I’d be a “bad seed.”
It's a very relatable feeling. I was told as a kid that it was good and normal to question stuff about your faith, but if I found myself having doubts about faith or criticizing aspects of it, that was deemed not good and not normal. It was fine to have questions as long as you didn't think about them too hard, or your answers led you back to religion.
Bravo, am muslim my self, and this is so refreshing to see siblings have such a space to speak honestly and hold the space. so proud of those ladies and all of the ladies out there.
They are both beautiful people, but the sister in pink (Layla) is actually really strong. She’s not hardened, not covering up her pain. She has stayed sensitive and honest. You’d be able to really trust her as a real friend. It’s nice that Yasmine is very self aware and appreciates these things about her sister.
This is crazy , my name is Yasmeen and my sisters name is Layla and we are going through the same thing. My sister and I had such different upbringings. At times I feel like she pushed me away because she felt like I wouldn't understand where shes coming from.. Its time we sit down and actually ask each other instead of assuming .
These sisters blew me away with their love for one another. They're different but that's what makes them special...so so special. Their faith, their love, their bond...just wonderful! Thanks again, The Skin Deep!
This was beautiful! Thank you to these two beautiful/strong women for sharing. I’m a Muslim woman and this hit hard. The bullying we’ve gone through and suicidal ideation often goes unspoken or worse unheard.I had a really bad day and now I feel empowered. Thank you. ❤️
This is what I experience in the Christian faith. People who may be reasonable like Yasmine or the complete opposite either way they wont answer your questions. I've talked to Imams and Pastors as well but no. My conclusion is you have to find your own answer don't expect it from your parents friends religious influencers or leaders.
I adore how the older sister really is instilling so many positive things in the younger one. What a beautiful thing to watch ❤️ and she’s absolutely right, she is stunning and sweet and beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I relate SO much to the revenge suicide idea (from when I was much younger) Until... *DISCLAIMER - trigger warning for graphic film descriptions* ...I watched 2 movies about bullying where 1. This group beat a student almost to death to the point where he had severe brain damage and had to learn to read and walk all over again and was never the same and some of the people from the group said “you should have just died” Like they basically made fun of him instead of felt remorse. 2. A girl was bullied and did attempt suicide and when she recovered, her bullies said something to the effect of “you couldn’t even do that right.” Those movies completely changed me because I realized some people are just cruel and heartless and actually feel like victors when they see their victims and/or their families suffer. Sick sick world we live in.
LGBT Muslims should not experience the judgement and ridicule that they still must experience. LGBT Muslims need to become MUCH more angry and insistent, but I think most feel that it's just not worth the emotional effort and pain. So they just leave the faith and that's a terrible loss for both the individual and the Ummah.
I believe that the older sister is talking to her young self and is giving advise to herself at that (or an younger) age, and is (successfully) trying to be a role model for her younger sister.
“Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction.” Quran 4:82 “And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a chapter the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful.” Quran 2:23
The younger sister is very wise, smart and collected. She doesn't know it but it shines through her. The older sister - she should learn to soften down her energy.
Meanwhile my older sister keeps telling me I'm fat and should lose weight (even tho I'm very very underweight). "Ew don't go out like that you look fucking ugly". I swear your relationship is so beautiful. I hope you two will never lose that and even become stronger!
At some point, in your life, you will ask yourself. Who made me, why am i here and what is my purpose of life, Once you look at all the major religions you will realize that Islam is true.Because of its representation of God. It appeals to our natural disposition.
@theskindeep, do you guys sell customized cards for different cultures? Like a set of cards for Muslims that wouldn't included sexualized topics and that would address questions that provoke deep thoughts? I will be the first to buy a set of cards. I wanna have 1:1 with my sisters and ask them these kind of questions so that we can openly discuss about life. Btw, I am Muslim and I have good relationship with my siblings. Plus I will videotape them for family memories. Thanks in advance.
There are a lot of ppl who left Islam and guess what, they’re all alive. They’re either atheists or joined another religion. It’s a personal decision. Media makes us believe the worst, they use it to divide us. Think about that for a second.
Well the punishment for leaving Christianity is torture and hellfire for eternity (hell), so do you really think that's any better or more understanding lmao
I disagree her sister gave off a good ass impression ! She wasn’t pushy at All . Maybe you should watch it again ! plus when they probably cut it off when it seemed like she was cutting the younger sister off but either way their was definitely an equal amount of time that they both had to talk
@@jokesonyou222 maybe you should watch it again. And not make assumptions about perhaps THEY cut it off to make it appear as if the younger sister was cut off in mid sentence. It happened more than once.
*reason why many Muslims feel emty in their faith is because they don’t have God. How many Muslims have experienced HIM? Answer me if you’re out here and tell me how.*
@@youparejo muslumps don’t have God. That’s why sadly, all of them don’t experience him in their daily lives. Which makes you feel emty because we humans are made to have a intimate relationship with God. But because the sin that we inherited by Adam and Eve, all generations that came after them, have been naturally disconnected from God. That’s why why all sin, we’re all bad. That’s why God provided his own sacrificial lamb, one who would be able to through his sacrifice, be able to cleanse and forgiven all humans from their sins Watch this video bro: ua-cam.com/video/3dEh25pduQ8/v-deo.html
@@salmaabdullahgb you have God? Allah isnt God tho. You need Jesus, to be forgiven of your sins, sister. Because if you don’t have Jesus(the true Jesus from the bible, son of God), you can’t have God, because God the Father and God the Son are one. No good works or good deeds will forgive you if your sins.

Everyone questions their faith. It’s simple we’re humans, we’re not perfect.
Lour Yñigo you can say that about anything. Doesn’t mean it’s true

i cried, like a lot. its not even normal, but It touched my soul.
These sisters are not snacks, or whole meals.
They’re an entire in&out franchise.

This was such a needed discussion. I really related to a lot of what was said. Thank you for an open and honest conversation. ❤️
Beautiful video and beautiful sisters! They are so raw and honest with their answers and with each other. Best video posted! ❤️
This is my favorite video ever!!!! So powerful and touching, loved every second of it.
It's so crazy how different they are.

I love Yasmine's confidence, the way she came out of what could've been a time a lot of people don't want to look back on
“Keep it G” I love it 😂❤️
I adore how the older sister really is instilling so many positive things in the younger one. What a beautiful thing to watch ❤️ and she’s absolutely right, she is stunning and sweet and beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
To be honest I felt not beautiful till I was 23 at 15 I felt so out of that beauty
Moment of silence to those without sisters😪😪.
Beautiful Sisters!!! Interesting subject and dialogue.
theyre both so pretty?????

I try my best to be a good and true Muslim according to the Quran even though I have sin

I never seen any muslim question their god? I don't know, why they think that questioning god is evil?
So sad. We are all born as atheist until someone starts telling us lies.
What's their @
The older one is too intense and feels like she’s not present
nasty 5/10 sweet 7/10
The punishment for leaving Islam is death. Think of that for a second. Is that a faith you would want to be a part of?
Yes i would

Why not?
She wants to talk more. She cuts her sister in mid sentence. It was irritating.
Same, as an ex Muslim I'd find a sister like her toxic and would wanna avoid her.
