I always like to talk about how I got my grandpa's nose, the most distinctive nose in the family. Growing up, it bothered me in the way that it didn't look like the girls around me in its size and slope and shape. Today, however, I am aware of the fact that my nose is a tool for smelling, and to fixate on its curvature and way of being is to waste the precious time I have on this earth that could have been used for something much more important- like building the lego taj mahal.

"My nose is just for smelling. Fixing my nose will not do anything for the society, will not do anything for my happiness. "
Yeah but it kinda will tho
@@JJ-jq2lhyes only in the happiness part😁but who cares
@@rightouserightouse-wh6rw having a beautiful nose instantly can make us feel happy for a while, but then we will forget about it and continue our lives as was
Shallow mind @@JJ-jq2lh
@@JJ-jq2lh why ?why woould someone not liking his own nose and be satisfied until he changes it just to fit beauty standard which doesnt make any sense ?? lets say that its okay to follow it but beauty standard wont stop in here it will continue and youd keep chasing it why wouldnt someone actually cares about something will last and more beneficial to him and others ?
I think it also comes
From how men make women feel if “they’re not pretty” and were not seen as worthy of respect, decency or kindness. So a lot of woman crave that incessant need to be pretty which in turn is the incessant need to be respected.
I feel like this is so true and so profound 😭. I never thought about it that way before but it’s true for me
Absolutely
But if you think about it the respect you get is not real human respect. It’s objectification. Real respect will never come from superficial things.

her point about beauty showing on people is so true. When I look at my friends, to me they are so so beautiful, their smiles and their laughs are so beautiful, I could look at them forever and never tire of it. But never have I once looked at them and examined them with conventional beautiful standards, like oh, she doesn't have this nose or clear skin, she doesn't have these teeth that makes them not beautiful - no. When I see their face they are so beautiful and it's all I can see. I don't know why we don't grant ourselves that kind of attitude, that kindness.
bless you Allah gave you a sweet heart xxx
Don't lie. You've done it at least once.
@@rebeccahill6596just because you do that, doesn't mean they do.
@@theircdplayer you've never noticed something about your friends face before? Not calling them ugly or anything, but noticing their nose shape, jawline etc. I'm neurodivergent so I notice literally everything about anything. I also know that people lie very much on the internet, and paint themselves as saints while they are usually not.
Ok I get that you’re neurodivergent, and maybe this wasn’t immediately obvious to you, but I don’t think when they say that’s all they can see, that they mean it in the complete literal sense. Obviously everyone notices people’s features. If you were to never realise when your friend got a face transplant, I’d be a bit concerned (unless you were blind). But when you look at them on a day to day, and their very face brings you joy or that you think you could stare at them all day long, you don’t think about whether they’re pretty, they’re just beautiful to you. And I think that’s the concept the comment meant. It’s not the literal meaning of ‘that’s all I can see’, it’s implied coz of context that it means this in terms of not seeing their prettyness
Dear Global Citizens,
We, the students of Bangladesh, are crying out for your support as we face a grave crisis. In our quest for fair and just quota reforms, we have been met with unimaginable brutality from the Chhatra League, a government-affiliated student organization. Our peaceful protests have turned into scenes of horror, with nearly 2500 of us injured and many of our friends and fellow students losing their lives. At least 115 students have been killed by Bangladesh police and the Chhatra League. We want justice.
The state-controlled media has turned a blind eye to our suffering, silencing our voices and hiding the truth from the world. Seeking freedom and justice has become a crime in our beloved country, and we are being punished for daring to dream of a better future.We urge you to stand with us, to share our story, and to demand justice. Let the world know the truth about our struggle. We need your voice to amplify ours, to show that we are not alone in this fight for fairness and human rights. Together, we can expose the injustice and bring about the change we so desperately need. Please, help us spread the truth and seek justice for the students of Bangladesh#SaveBangladeshistudents
please Farah, pleaseeeeeeeeeee talk about Bangladesh
And Sudan 🇸🇩 ❤️
Don't fight back the same way they do. Continue the peaceful protests, Allah promises that he will let the righteous inherit the land.

@@leckslopi3815 if they continue to kill us, do you think we should just die without fighting back?

Farah I’m a guy revert Muslim who lives in a Latino family household. All my life I’ve felt pressured from family to flaunt beauty if we have it and hide our flaws me and my parents are considered “conventionally” attractive. (I’m the only Muslim in the family) and sometimes I’d give into it what they recommend to attract attention. Today I was about to go to the mosque trying to enhance how I look but after you saying you love how people love your character when you’re speaking. Helps me remember when I’m talking to the kids about Islam, and have the best time. My beauty didn’t help them listen but when I’m just me, they sit down and pay attention. That’s better than anything. I swapped and got my nice baggy cloths that I love wearing and about to head there now in sha Allah thanks for the reminder Farah.
Masha Allah brother, may Allah (SWT) continue blessing you and keep you steadfast!
@@illyGalSloth thank you sister
@@Ejs226 You're welcome 🌷Btw there's nothing wrong with trying to look nice, as long as you're doing to within boundaries of what is halal. Wearing perfume, nice and clean clothing, good hairstyle etc. is part of cleanliness in Islam and is also sunnah. It's recommended to take care of your appearance brother, just be careful not to become obsessive about it and overdo it, and don't do it with the intention of attracting women's attention (but if you're married, of course it's halal to want to look good for your wife). Do it for sunnah and your faith :)
Thank you for sharing. There is a lot of pressure to look a certain way. I hope to found enough strength to one day give up on trying. I know it’s such a frivolous way of thinking.
Allah cares about the state of our hearts. I hope one day I will give up on all of this
As a Muslim Latina I understand but remember Allah allows us to dress well but the best of dresses is righterousness (Al Araf)
a quote i heard is "accepting and loving your authentic self is an act of gratitude to god" and i try to remember that every day when i think "oh im not enough". Thank you so much.
edit: 14:57 when you said "...i feel like i can soar" i teared up a bit. I needed to hear that and remember that truth.
This reminds me of something I do when I notice myself getting too deep in my head about my insecurities. I look in the mirror and ask myself: "What would God say about xyz?".
I cried the other night realizing how Allah SWT made me perfect just like everyone else after starving myself for several days.
Farah, idk if you're reading this or if you read my previous comment asking you to make a video on tabarruj. But ukthi wallah you have no idea how much of an impact your videos are having on my iman. May Allah make your akhirah and your duniya, a life filled w peace and may He swt elevate your ranks in jannah. امين يا رب

dont persuade her to spread yur cvltish beliefs
I’m Christian and I don’t know how this appeared on my feed but I’m glad for it
It’s fine a lot of Islam content is also good for Christians like morals nd all
I also follow Christian content even tho I’m Muslim I take what I find interesting nd don’t care about differences at the end of the day what matters is that we are all believers ❤
I’m muslim and I watch Christians videos if I came across them, some I agree with and some I don’t but what I like the most is feeling that we all humans are the same despite being born in different cultures and beliefs
@@yj7108 beautiful ❤️
same I’m a Christian but I love what she’s preaching(in her own context) so far ✨
Well this video isn’t about religion, it’s about thoughts on beauty 🤔
i'm a brown southeast asian and this video really hit deep in my heart. since i was a kid, i've been so insecure with my flat nose and my chubby body... this insecurity mainly comes from comparing myself to others, whenever i see photos of pretty girls on social media, or just seeing my friends who won the visual lottery. but when i started to just let it all go, and embraced who i am and what i have, i have seen just how beautiful i truly am... to everyone who may read this, your physical traits does not define who you are as a person, your soul does. be kind. ily.
🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
But sometimes a little fixing is fine tho
“Go read a book or something” literally made me tear up.
I've been sobbing about my body shape and my weight all night that I couldn't sleep and this showed up for me thank you so much
Same I hate my body but I don't hate it as much I hate my face
i have wide shoulder and I 6 ft.Most men love to insult me that I am their fellow men and I am not beautiful.
I love the holy spirit he loves me. In this manly look😂.
Body shape and weight is something you can change with a healthy diet and exercise. Not necesarily for vanity purposes but also to keep healthy and energetic. Just need to keep motivated and positive. Ignore people's negative comments. Set your own goals.
@@Dorydreory body neutrality helps a lot
Nobody else deserves your kindness and love more than you. You are worth it. Don't give up on yourself like this, there are ways to love yourself.
This is not your fault.
In the future, you might look back at yourself and wish you could give her a hug and take care of her.
Forgive yourself.
Take care my dear, best wishes.
"Not about fixing things that never needed fixing in the first place". Wow 😭
Farah, your sense of humor is top tier.
Any time you say "lets not get into this too deep" im like GET INTO ITTTT
like i wish we were friends and could have conversations not in the eye of the internet cuz i understand how that changes communication but man ..... i would love to hear your thoughts
@@philoworkno literally my ears were perked and then she pulled a “…letsss not get into it….” Like whyyy
farah how do you exactly know what i need at the moment like. thank you girl
Right?? Like it feels like every time my iman is low or I’m in a very specific crisis, she comes up on my suggested. Like without a doubt. Alhamdulillah
Allah SWT sends you messages through people, situations, verses, videos, and many other things too! We just rarely notice it
i have the same nose and i can’t be more proud

Allahumma barik! How do you do that? I am still struggling😢
@@tihamsjdn try to replace it with nasheeds and quran and podcasts
I'm so proud of you ❤❤
I felt this deeply. I was a child being told I was ugly. At the time, it really impacted my mental health and self-esteem. Self-love wasn't taught by my school and parents. Emphasis on "wanting to be pretty", I wanted to feel pretty. I hope people will soon realize that that feeling can only come from you. No amount of people telling you "you're pretty" could ever make you feel that way, you gotta love yourself as you are. I think the idea of being "beautiful" is very much worse now for children, I wish I had this video as a kid and then maybe I would've treated myself better lol, great video!!
You're literally my comfort channel. Please never stop making videos🩷
You have such a warm demeanor. Thank you for sharing this, I’ve been thinking about this concept for a while and I too have concluded that I am rejoiced by God that I look the way that I look and the way people react to me isn’t just upon looks. May God continue to bless you and your voice of wisdom.
I find it ironic when pretty people say it's okay not to be pretty
Farah is ironic
Objectively she's not good looking though.

thanks for this, farah. i love how you refer to your nose as from your grandpa, because that's how i refer to my jawline, from my grandpa as well. i have a square jaw, and its probably the one thing that i fixate on the most. i hate when i smile, or when im in pictures, because of my jawline, but i need to learn to love it, because its from my grandpa, who passed from covid a couple years ago
thank you. I mean it. Lately i've been thinking a lot about what trying to conform to society's standard prevented me to do. I don't read as much as i use to, I compare myself with my friends in awful ways, i can't talk to someone without thinking about what i look like. I miss on so much of my life. I'm not present in my life like i should. Your video made me cry. Thank you for you honesty, your tone helped me in my quest to detach myself from my physical apparence
"I know that some babies look questionable..." 😂😂😂
You know what I think I really needed this video I am trying my best to not care about appearance but I could not the way I view myself ruin me I'm becoming more and more insecure and it's affecting me and the way I treat my loved ones because of how anger I'm accumulating from not liking my physical appearance
TO NOT NOT TO IDK ENGLISH IS WEIRD
I was once told, you don't love your friends and family based of their appearance; if their skinny, big, tall short, its because of their personalities- its the same for you
This video made me laugh and it also made me cry. I loved looking into your big eyes as you said this, it made me feel like I was spoken to directly. I'm very happy to hear your message and what a good one it is too! I want to work towards feeling beautiful just the way I was born.
FARAH WHAT U TALKIN BOUT YO NOSE IS GORGEOUS
I teared up so many times. God. This video came to me exactly when I needed it.
i feel like i need to watch this video again and again, ive always needed someone to tell me that i dont have to be pretty,
I just need to say I love the way you express yourself. You're casually funny, smart, and eloquent.
i have just come from my Friday salah( a muslim 17 year old dude here), and saw this, lol, jazakallah sister. keep making these videos, may Allah (swt) bless you.

this videoooo was so needed i am filled with thoughts of me being ugly for almost 5 years now ,ahhh though i get compliments for being pretty it is never enough . and then u fall deeper and deeper just for the validation and u are so rue its just soo dumb just such a trivial thought that i have basically made m whole personality and i need to stop as i am influencing my younger sisters too .u can tell how important was this for me by the fact this is your first video that i watched till the end .
jazakallah
As someone who was told you’re pretty my whole life and also was made fun of by others I have expirebced both spectrums .she’s right when she says there are downfalls of being pretty and people feeling like they own you or objectifying you is def one of them . Thank you for this video ❤❤❤
If people think youre pretty they wont take you seriously. Because if you have the looks but you also possess a brain and real charm and charisma, people immediately are intimidated by you and will have liked you better if you were stupid or shallow because its easier to get their way or get away with things.
No one takes your pain seriously cuz people see you and assume your looks must grant you everything you desire. I have experienced this but also i see it in many women like for example of a big icon- Marylin Monroe, she was beautiful but was also extremely talented intelligent charming and kind. She was too complex for people, so it was easier for them to exist with themselves if she was just a dumb blonde and to this day people are hell bent on tarnishing the true legacy of who she was.
this is one of the best things to listen to for Jummah+Qaran+nasheeds
Your humor is an excellent vehicle to deliver your wisdom. Thank you young Farah for this lovely reminder that I am much more than just my body.
My family would love Farah’s nose. I’m Yemeni and the aunties all love when girls have an ethnic nose. I’m not kidding
Wow that’s actually so interesting. I’ve never known that there are people like that. Thank you for sharing this
I'm half yemeni half somali and this is true. When they always compliment my looks they always bring up how I got the asal (original) arab nose 😅
I’m يمنية too
And I agree 100%
They like the big noses idk why 😭😭😭
@@hania.1827 what lmao so small nosed arabs dont have original arab features or what
same, I'm indian and everyone loves it when you have a tall, projected nose instead of the ski slope ones! they think big noses are better
Honestly Ive discovered your channel a while back but never really watched the videos, but yesterday I re discovered you and i just wanted to say the honesty, humility, and how you centre islam in your life is just so refreshing and im so grateful that youre on the youtube scene where you feed truths instead of false hopes. Also how youre vulnerable in a way that you inspire people and make them feel less shame and more hope. I know I'm about to watch a banger of a video.( p.s im a muslim my username is an alias)
I needed this video at the most PERFECT TIME SubhanAllah
May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى bless you abundantly 🤲🏼
When we go to amusement parks, fancy restaurants, or tourist streets, we do not find any sign on them saying, “Ugly people are not allowed to enter.” Therefore, we should not consider ugliness an obstacle to the enjoyment of life.
As a white girl with a big nose can I just politely and briefly say that big noses are also a ‘white person feature’ (because Europe is a cold place so our ancestors needed bigger noses that would warm up the air we breathe so that it wouldn’t be cold/ hurt when it hit our lungs). I love this video and everything that’s said in it and I’m not trying to take away from it at all, but hating my big nose whilst also hearing over the years things like “it’s okay not to have Eurocentric beauty standards” and “I’m proud of my ethnic nose” and, as said in this video, “fixing my nose to look like a white girl’s nose” just kind of made me feel like I had no reason to be proud of my nose because I’m just white and my nose is just big and that’s that. (I do understand that those messages are important for non-white people who struggle with appearance and try to fit in with society’s beauty standards and in that way I do definitely support them.) But these Eurocentric beauty standards are not even European, white people have very thin lips, asymmetrical faces and big noses, many white celebrities who don’t have these features have had work done. My point is, don’t anyone try to follow so- called ‘European beauty standards’ because even us Europeans don’t fit into them and if you’re a white girl with a big nose and you feel like you don’t have a reason to be proud of it, be proud of it because it’s a part of you. (I apologise if this wasn’t the time or place for this message, I understand this isn’t what the video was about necessarily, I just thought I’d comment to help anyone who had the same insecurity and experience as me and I’m not trying to take away from anyone else’s experience who is not the same as mine 💗.)
Your comment touches my heart ❤
So true there are so many white people with big noses. If you look at the portraits of the historical nobles literally all of them had big noses
Interesting that you said this.
I absolutely have "brown girl" features but there are also plenty of Pakistani women who are born with the so-called Caucasian looking nose sharp,pointy, thin etc. Defined jaw lines, high cheek bones, etc these are all Pakistani features as well but I didn't get any of those things. I was never trying to look like a white girl I was comparing myself to my fellow Pakistanis and I would question well why didn't I look like this? It's never really been about wanting to "look white" it's been wanting to have certain features that I've seen in all races which I considered pretty. I have actually always loved that I looked exotic but again I would just be a bit fixated on certain little things namely the high cheek bones that defined jaw line. I never saw certain features as belonging the only one race especially the whole nose thing
In cold places, people's noses got bigger.... i understood why black sea region is-
Okay but even your comment isn’t entirely accurate, because not every European has specific features. Slope noses, straight noses, arched noses. Thin lips, small lips, big lips. High cheekbones, low cheekbones. High brow low brow. Almond eyes wide eyes. Asymmetrical or “symmetrical”. Freckles or no freckles. These features exist in mostly all races. Maybe some have majority of one feature than other, but even the presence of a few outliers makes a difference. WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT!!! We are all unique. Our features are OURS and cannot be chalked up to being in one group as so many other groups may have that feature that is attributed to one singular one. The only group our features should have are OUR UNIQUE SELVES! Not to mention, my belief is that our physical appearance is not our true self. Our projections only exist to serve the purpose of recognization. Our faces are all unique so that our brains associate each others different selves with different bodies/forms, that way we don’t associate other selves/forms/souls as others. We are unique because our experiences are different than EVERYONE else’s, no matter the similarities, we all have our differences and that is beautiful. We are literally designed to recognized the differences in others…and differences are beautiful, they are what make people PEOPLE!!! Okay I’m done 😊
Farah you have brought tears to my eyes
Thanks!

"Wow I love your nose, its huge" As a big nose girlie, I am laughing so hard right now. Thank you so much for making this video 🫶🏻
Im gonna start saying that tho minus the “it’s huge” part lol
I like the way you're so calm and soft when you're speaking. We do focus on your words and not on your appearance. I know she won't answer because there's a lot of comments here but it's okay I just wanted to say it since I really liked your video 💫 (besides, I don't comment often)
As someone said on the internet, "beauty is a depreciating asset" if we are going to put all our value in a depreciating asset then we will be at a big loss...
You touched an amazing topic Farah. I think the same way, we don't have to be pretty and once I realized it, I felt like a kid again.
I find you immensely inspiring. This really is your calling. May Allah swt grant you and all your followers the highest ranks in jannah and may He swt make us neighbors, so we can be besties and talk about all the amazing things we did in this duniya
always so happy to see you Farah

Coming from being an indivisible nerdy girl throughout school to being special ana more popular through university then work-life i put on the hijab few months ago at 28 and feel like i am going back to my school self and it is taking a huge toll on my confidence and self esteem, I used to love traveling and shopping and standing out now i am super down ربنا يثبتني و يعطيني السلام النفسي و السعادة و الرضي يارب
There’s no problem being a shy girl. As long as you’re not compromising on your religion because of low confidence you are fine. Remember when eman increases confidence increases. Eman increases with knowledge and good deeds.

Sister, we feel that comfort you’re talking about when we see your face and especially when we listen to your words😊
Spoken so beautifully
Oh my goodness, you have the most healing voice and words and presence.
I was feeling a little down today, and your videos always show up at the right time. My aunt once told me, “Unless you get a job, no one will marry you because you're dark skinned”(I'm brown, but it's called black in my country).My reaction was like, Is marriage the whole purpose of life? 😭😭 I was crying and saying, If it is, then I don't want this life. I was only 14 at the time. She also said, “You know, if it were a pretty (Fair-skinned) girl, it wouldn’t be a problem.” I wasn't crying because of how I look. I was crying because the words she said were so mean. She was my closest aunt. :( Brown people are white worshippers frrr. I don’t talk to her anymore.
God made you in his image so your aunt saying that is her judging Gods creation. God doesn’t make mistakes so who is she to be judging God? Don’t let their words get to you xx God created your husband who will love you regardless of your looks 🫶

I feel your confidence, and I think you are onto something here? If you have a gift for speaking, and others listening, use it for good and to empower people.
the concept of attractiveness and obsession over it dehumanized us
i rly loved this video. its been ages since i sat 1x speed, hand folded and just listened. it was beautiful. thank u
I needed this so bad.. been focusing on the wrong things recently. Thank you sincerely Farah ❤
Your videos are free therapy...thank you for these moments of peace i feel when i listen to ur vids
i needed this subhanAllah, saving this to revisit because i need to hear this again and again
So well said, thanks for this. I have learned that I do still love to decorate myself after all these years of fighting with pretty but it takes a lot of mindfulness and integrity to keep pretty out of the process. Aesthetic is a joy in my life but you're absolutely right that pretty is a virus within that.
assalamu alaykum farah i love your videos,as an italian revert I just want to say, these eurocentric beauty standards are extremely hard to fit into - even as white person , my nose is personally straight and I remember feeling teased for not having a curved nose (like the tiktok nose.) I even considered rhinoplasty before I realized I had an Italian nose with Irish features which are looked down upon by English people. It’s really terrible and honestly your nose is so beautiful mashallah truly, it makes me so sad that we must call them imperfect when they are perfect. Assalmualaykumwaratumallahiwabarkathu sister your videos continue to inspire
16:40 this is the point where I started crying (in a good way lol) I really truly needed to see this video - thank you farah :')
12:02 " It’s not a fun life. When all you’re thinking about is how you look. Because life was not meant to be lived that way. Life was meant to be lived creating things and doing things and learning things. and living in the present moment. and making what you can out of what you have. not about fixing things that don’t need fixing in the first place. "
Farah, this and the video where you talk about health and going to the gym are THE best messages to give to someone about their well being. Thank you for putting these thoughts into coherent and funny conversation. Much needed and everyone needs to listen!
Sometimes I swear you’re reading my mind and know what I need to hear before you post 😭😭❤️
Farah, you are such a delightful soul! I appreciate you being a friend to us ladies and speaking to something that really doesn't get discussed enough with so much care and humor and nuance.
I;m crying .. I know my forehead is big and yet I placed my hand over my forehead once you said 4 fingers, just to confirm it is big. WWHHYYY!!
You don’t need any beauty standard’s forehead, it’s useless…
Besides it’s still a blessing brother (for example in your sajda 🙃), let’s be optimistic !
Why did I do the same thing?
Ur so wrong 4 fingers is the normal average forehead size
The small is 3 or less fingers

@@thatnaturalfatma omg that's so cute XD I also have a big forehead which i try to hide but now ill remember i just have more space to make sujood.
you're so comforting. gosh i just found the best account ever. so happy i came across you. you're so refreshing and funny and intelligent. thank you!
Big noses are so underrated. I have my baba’s nose and I can’t be more proud 🥹
farah you’re such a poet!! rhyming and delivering truths after truths! i love you so much you open my mind and my heart to a healthy way of thinking Allahumma barek
Farah I love you for this video so much, really, from the bottom of my heart, because I did realise (just recently not a long time ago) that what you said in this video is absolutely true yet I found no one even mentioning it which is quite sad. Thank you again❤❤
Thank you Farah. So many young girls need to hear this. It took me years to accept the shape of my nose. I even thought about getting lip fillers even though my lips are a perfect size. What matters more is keeping yourself clean and looking presentable
Farah actually being consistent allahumma baarik
16:26 "i know there are some babies that look questionable" FARAH you did not-BAHAHHAHA
Its such a grass is greener on the other side thing bc as a girl with a less prominent, round nose your nose is beautiful to me 🤷♀️
Thank you so much for this sister, you are truly beautiful Farah!
Farah you are such a beautiful person and soul. This was such a great episode
You give me Michael Scott awkwardness/unhingedness vibes and I'm here for it lmfao - ultimate/supreme compliment btw

U are so unintentionally funny my girl!! I laughing out loud at midnight waking my neighbours up!
I needed this at this very second!!!
You‘re so likeable, so funny, your videos seem so effortless but not in a bad way. New subscriber
omg just found you now have some good content to binge watch
you really helped me, may Allah swt reward you with highest level of Jannah
I really needed this, not cause im insecure about my self image (alhamdulilah, I was created by Allah, therefore it's not the best to call Allah's creation ugly), but because my dad believes a woman is married for her beauty first and foremost, meaning a womans beauty is more important than her imaan and adaab. so yea, its good to hear that looks dont really matter in some peoples eyes. im glad there are people out there who value a humans qualities that were created through self-work more that the features they were born with.
edit: he didnt say it out of no where, he was comparing two girls to ask for my brother for marriage(one is better looking than the other, and without looking at other factors, he chose the prettier one).
This video heals my soul time to time.
I FEEL SO PROUD TO BE HERE THIS EARLY AAAAAAAAAAAA. FARAH I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I ALWAYS PLAY THEM WHEN IM DOING MY HOMEWORK. Also u encouraged me to do alot of things like leaving music and being closer to Allah. Thank you so much❤
