I had a Muslim man explain the lowering of gazes and the principle behind the hijab to me when I was sick in a hospital as a kid. He was my nurse. As an American in the south, I had never heard his take (which is the same as what you said in the video but you had more information) and i remember it truly surprising me that it was in his view a sign of respect for women. I had only heard it portrayed as a sign of oppression and a view of women as lesser than. So glad to hear different perspectives
I actually disagree tho I feel like staring is kinda harmless considering most of the time people don't know the intention of the person who is staring. If the other person feels intimidated or creeped out by the person's stare then they should stop. I feel like staring at someone u think is atractive or any other reason is natural for a man or a woman. (I am a woman btw). I'm curious to know people's opinions on this tho so feel free to leave your opinion.
@@potatopeeps7627 I think it’s a habit. Alhamdulillah I am married and happy with my husband. I never feel like staring at any guy 😂 nor I feel like “wo this guy is so handsome”. I don’t know what is it, but I really feel happy without this being part of my life😂 in that I mean the opposite gender. I just don’t think of men in that way (nor of women, I’m straight just to mention) And I have many Muslim sisters they never speak or comment on men looks. We do discuss men attitude and character though. Like what’s acceptable and what not. And that’s really what matters
Thank you for addressing the fact that modesty is a man’s job too. My brothers used to not want to go to the beach because so many women wouldn’t be dressed very well there. I didn’t understand it back then, but now I am proud of them for not wanting to look at women who weren’t dressed up enough. It is a man’s job to lower his gaze if possible. And also women need to dress modestly too. It’s on both genders. These are nice videos. I am Christian so I don’t wear hijab, but I can see why you do. Please keep making videos. They are very enjoyable. 😊
All I’m getting from this, is all the things Muslim men ‘should not’, ‘must not’ and ‘cannot’ do yet most of them ignore that and do as they please! Most of the responsibility falls to the women....as per usual.
You are absolutely right. Unfortunately that’s truly how it is. And that’s with almost everything, child care, house care, and so on and so forth. But...we shall see how they will be judged for it in the afterlife. Since it is written what they must do, then they will be held accountable for it
If they ignore what Allah says it will not just disappear, this could be there their way to hell, even if they getaway with it now they will not getaway with it in the day of judgment, and if a women takes responsibility it won’t be ignored by Allah and she will be rewarded
It's unfair to say that most Muslim men don't follow the rules. I know many Muslim men, and fortunately many of them do follow the rules set down for them. Let's not give off the impression that all Muslim men are scum, because they're not. And frankly speaking, in my experience Muslim men are almost always more honourable than non-muslim men 🤷🏽♀️
this makes so much sense! i remember this one time i was shopping with my family and some other people and i saw a family wearing hijabs but there was a girl who didnt and i was really confused, tysm for explaining >w
Here's a critical question to all Muslim women, why do you protect your modesty with a hijab while you wear makeup on your face to appear beautiful and attract the male gaze anyway? Isn't that a huge contradiction to the concept of "protecting your modesty" in Islam?
@@Waterbug1591 we are ALLOWED to show our face. I don't know how doing so can be considered indecent or not modest, same as wearing said makeup on the face. Islam doesn't prevent women from looking ATTRACTIVE, that's the fundamental thing some people miss. You can still look attractive while being modest ❤️
@@faizahmohammedaruwa You can show your hair and still be modest. Why do you feel obliged to wear a hijab and cover up your hair if it's not an indecent thing? The face is even more powerful than the hair, so wearing a face veil or burkha solves the problem, correct? Islam doesn't prevent women from looking attractive but is forcing them to wear a hijab but not a burkha as a mandatory garment to protect your modesty, isn't that a contradiction?
@@Waterbug1591 at this point your just trying to be divisive. I don't question the will of Allah, and that is what your trying to make me do. By your own logic He gave us grace by allowing us to show our face instead of our hair because, by your own words, "The face is even more powerful than the hair," So maybe that's the reason? I don't know what to tell you man. I just follow the orders from the big man in the sky without question and so far, my life has turned out great!
This explanation is just SO much clearer than what I usually hear! I’m always very curious and have my own mixed opinions (most of which I will not voice because literally no one asked and it’s others hair not mine) about hijabs and some explanations like “women are fragile and the hijab protects them” and “you’d want your phone with the case on right?” honestly just seem a bit sexist to me (again, no hate because it’s not my hair) but “women can be seen for more than just looks” just sounds like such a great way to word it
This video was informative and helpful!one question though. Are you supposed to wear it around your sister’s husbands? Or do they count as family? Thanks!

@@Waterbug1591 well, that depends on the person. You're absolutely right as to how it can be contradicting to the concept of modesty thats why there are scholars who have ruled make up as haram and there are people who dont wear it, but just like the hijab, at the end of the day its up to you. No one can force or tell you what to or what not to do.
@@Waterbug1591 I am not Muslim and cannot speak for Muslim women, but it should be mentioned that women who wear makeup aren’t always doing it for men. Some women just like the art of putting on makeup or like how they look for themselves or their female friends.
@@jayl24548 Why do you all give the same type of incompetent argument like "women aren't wearing makeup for men" as if somehow if you keep saying that the men aren't going to gaze at you? Men are men, if you wear makeup and present your magnified beauty, men are gonna look, whether or not you're doing it for them is completely irrelevant.
You shouldn’t have to explain yourself, but thank you for educating people! I love your channel, I am not Muslim but I have many many Muslim friends and just wish to learn more about these things, have a wonderful day!
The hijab is portrayed as a symbol of “oppression” and “backwards thinking” by many people who don’t fully comprehend the reason behind it. Thanks for sharing and educating many people on here! Also your calligraphy looks amazing Mash Allah!
"if they are that beautiful with the hijab on imagine if they didn't wear it" lol its like a superpower. us mortals cannot bear to look upon such beauty
Thank you for this video. It was really informative and helpful. Speaking from the point of view of a woman who does not wish to wear a hijab and is being forced to, I can tell you one thing: you can't force love and devotion, all you can do is make the person you are holding back hate you and want to get back at you for that. I did willingly wear a hijab at one point of time but now I no longer want to. For me it feels constricting and it reminds me of the way I am being slowly suffocated. I have come a long way in the practise of my religion and I do love Allah and I do wish to obey Him but on my own terms not the terms that others dictate to me. I don't believe that Allah wants us to be unhappy or stifle ourselves in order to follow our religion.
Can we stop and take a moment to just say how awesome of an artist you are Mimo! I love the information you are sharing with us as well! Too many people don’t take the time to even try to understand other religious and/or cultural ways of life. I LOVE that our world has so much diversity!
i started wearing the hijab at the age of two(not everday),i wasnt forced to,but i love it because my mum and others around me wore it,i started fully wearing it at the age of seven,and its just beautiful!
@@jessievecchio I think you mean a party thats made once you hit puberty! It's a cultural thing but families like to do so when their daughter hits puberty!!
@@bunny9489 I think they wanted to wear it and their parents let them because they seemed interested. not about the parents making a decision for the child
I wore it in hs. All four years. It made me feel like I could focus on my work better. It's like an invisibility cloak and it's great for social anxiety! Especially when you're able to stand up for yourself to the losers who harass you. I've been openly gawked at and yelled at while walking down the road. But, I've also been stopped in the library by a Muslim man saying that they appreciate seeing a modest girl and all the hardships I must go through because of it. 😊

@@Waterbug1591 in my opinion, it is rather contradictory because it just defeats the purpose of wearing the hijab. Though many Muslim women do not wear makeup with the hijab and also avoid tight fitted clothes. Many even go the extra mile by veiling their faces.
@@hudycat a woman's face is beautiful as well and it attracts the male gaze, so it only makes sense to wear a burkha all day long outside, right? What's the point of hijab if it only covers the hair but not the face?
@@Waterbug1591 And if you want to then go ahead. But it hasnt been made compulsory on us, so if youd like to than alhamdulillah and you go sister! But if not, then alhamdulillah as well for whatever it is you can do to please Allah.
I hve practically grown up with Muslim woman as they were my only friends . My friends were forced to wear hijab even if she doesn't want to. If her hijab slips a bit , her mother will come and avoid her to put in the place and cover
Those are extreme cases. Not all Muslim families are like that. A lot of women in my country don't observe the hijab and my family was initially opposed to me wearing one despite being devout Muslims. It is a personal obligation and someone else cannot force it upon you, especially when you are an adult. There is no compulsion in religion. It is only natural that your hijab slips off a little when you wear it all day, it is ok if a few strands unintentionally show, that is not the purpose of it.
@@Ladycouture99 It definitely depends on the culture of the community your friends are from. A lot of Muslim communities are much more conservative. For Muslims, religion is above your culture so it up to your friends' families to be more understanding of their daughters and to guide them gently instead of forcing it :)
just cuz you friend got forced into it doesn't mean that Islam forced it on her it's a religion it can't do nothing to u it just means that her family is toxic just like how most of the parents pressure their children to become doctor , engineer, lawyer other than that they're a failure
This was really informative thank you, I love that it’s about valueing peoples brain and heart not appearance. I have a question and I don’t mean any offense but what happens if your lesbian? Do women still have to where hijab infront of them?
I'm not muslim so take anything I say with a grain of salt, but the majority of the people where I live are Muslim and most people around me will still take their hijab off in front of queer women and afab trans people. their reasoning is that Islam doesn't recognise trans men as men and it doesn't recognise marriage between two women so they can take their hijab off in front of these people
I’m pretty sure that in Islam you’re not allowed to be gay 😰 Infact in countries that are mostly based on Islam culturally and governmentally, it’s a death sentence if you like your same sex
thank you so much for this type of content not just this video but any that talks about something to do with islam. i have a friend who is muslim and i really want to learn more but im always too afraid to ask about the things im not sure of because i dont want to offend them but these videos help me so much thank you
This was informational didn’t know a lot of it. Question though if it’s in the holy book that women are to wear a hijab as you mentioned why do some wear it and some don’t and the ones who don’t are they not following the command? Just curious
Thanks love. Tisha johnson it’s a preference I suppose. Hijab isn’t easy and so many woman aren’t ready to commit. It doesn’t mean they are wrong in my opinion. We are all on our own journey. 🥰🥰
Yes they are not following the command But in the judgment day (apocalypse) it’s not the “ only command” to be taken into account Basically all the things you did in your life are measured or “weighed” on a scale some commands are heavy some are not Good dead’s vs bad dead’s and based on which side is heavier you either go to heaven or hell So the scale judges a person as a whole not only by one command
Depending on hijab interpretation it can also mean modesty. It’s so funny how Islam has so much interpretation but every one thinks their own interpretation is right.
Well yeah I feel like there’s the Quran and everyone has a slightly different interpretation of the meaning and that in essence is like them and their relationship with God, and not everyone is the same you know? So we all have our own beliefs that are pretty much the same but taken in different ways
Very informative , but I disagree that it was written … it depends more on the interpretation, bc by what is actually written it’s not clear what exactly is meant
precisely why i dont wear one! i am covered with clothes and hair, i dont need to wrap a scarf around my head to be modest :) i think the quran was 80% up to interpretation, since religion is just faith in the end. i respect whatever anyone chooses to believe but i dont like when people tell me “no you’re supposed to wear a hijab” lol ummm, where does it say that
I really enjoy these videos and learning about your culture! I am Christian but it is so cool to learn the rules of your religion plus the cakes and art are amazing!
This is super educational!!! Thank you for explaining this :0 I had a friend in highschool who wore a hijab and I was always thinking how neat it was but didn’t entirely know what exactly why folks wore them,, so thank you!!
None of the women in my family wear hijab, never really was even a question of whether I would wear it or not though I did dabble in college. Happy not to wear it, it just doesn't feel like "me." Can't have caused me too much trouble, men never seem to notice me much anyway, lol.
I remember when I was little I saw a girl at an arcade wearing a hijab and I thought it looked super pretty. I went up to her and asked where she got it and if I could have one too. I didn’t even know it was a religious thing as a kid.
why is modesty valued? what is good about being "modest" ? i love you and ur videos i am just curious and confused. if anyone else knows please tell me !!
Why questions are usually pretty hard to quantify especially with people having different value systems depending on where they grew up and what they've been exposed to during their life. In terms of Islam though if you follow that religion then through the Quran you can see modesty is promoted in more than just what you wear but also how you act towards others and how you should try to live your life.
Modesty is just covering every attractive part of yourself so that men wouldn’t bother you. The irony is that men will do that anyway regardless of you’re dressed so you might as well look hot anyway. Muslim women in “modest” clothing aren’t allowed to do that since making yourself look attractive is actually highly discouraged in the Quran. You see muslim women with makeup and tight clothing but it’s not exactly “allowed” per se in islam. Why even follow this cult again?
Not Muslim, but all Abrahamic religions value modesty as a quality. King Solomon wrote, "People who are proud will soon be disgraced. It is wiser to be modest." Paul said women should dress with modesty in a way that focuses attention on their good actions. So basically, modesty is a trait that shows wise humility instead of plain vanity and shows that you honor your person, your conscience, and the consciences of others. Clothing is a form of self-expression, so when someone chooses to dress modestly, they are empowering themselves to communicate how they want to be perceived in terms of their relationship with God.
I am so glad that people are starting to respect islam honestly when i heared that ladies in india were not getting repect from some of the indians i was upset but i saw a lot of other indians protecting them i am glad to everyone who respects not just islam but other religions too at the end of the day it is their religion and we should respect it
Thank you for the explanations. They are very helpful toward understanding concepts that are not well known in Western culture. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding why some in America have a problem with head coverings. In Catholicism, a lot of times, women wear head scarves in church. And while it was more to protect hair than cover it up, women in the 60's and 70's used to wear scarves all the time. People need to lighten up and let others live their lives as they see fit. Love and respect to you. You're funny and kind, something the world needs more of 💜
I find the significance of the hijab to be such a beautiful thing ❤️ I am non-Muslim but I find modesty to be so beautiful buy very uncommon now a days which is sad
Information about Ramadan : Ramadan is the 9th and most sacred month of the Islamic calendar A common greeting at the start of the month is ‘Ramadan Mubarak’ which translates to Happy Ramadan. Muslims will start the fast by waking up before dawn to have a light meal called suhoor. They will then not eat or drink anything until sunset upon which they will open their fast with a meal called iftar. Traditionally iftar will start with some dates - which is a great gift to give for Muslims in Ramadan! Consequentially, Muslims may be more tired during the day as they slowly get use to waking up in the middle of the night to eat. However, by fasting and feeling the effects, Muslims are reminded of how fragile humans can be and how we’re dependent on God for the resources that He provides so we'll be thankful . Being hungry and thirsty throughout the day also allows for greater remembrance and compassion for the poor and the struggles that they face. Fasting is prescribed so that we may acquire self-control, patience and health improvement by reducing or eliminating impurities from the body Ramadan is also when Muslims try and do more physical good deeds than usual by giving to charity or helping those less fortunate. Many Muslims attempt to finish the recitation of the Quran (holy book) during the month. Some people perform an optional prayer called taraweh which takes place an hour after iftar and is usually 1.5-2hrs long. The aim here is to also finish the recitation of the Quran in congregation. Muslims don’t mind if you eat in front of them, we understand not everyone is fasting! Ramadan is also is also the time of the year where Muslims attempt to put all worldly matters to one side and focus on their connection with God. Therefore as much as Ramadan is a physical cleanse, the month is also seen as a spiritual cleanse. The amount of worship tends to ramp up in the last 10 days of Ramadan as they are more rewarding. It is during these days that the Quran began to be revealed, with the specific night called Laylat-ul-Qadr or The Night of Power. The month culminates after 29/30 days (depending on the moon sighting) with a celebration called Eid-ul-Fitr or Festival of Breaking the Fast. A common greeting on the day is ‘Eid Mubarak’ which translates to Happy Eid and is marked by celebrations where families and friends get together for Eid parties.
Common questions asked about Ramadan: “You can still drink water right?” No, eating or drinking is not permitted while fasting. Fasting in Islam forbids you from ingesting anything. “Fasting for 30 days, how can you survive that?” It’s not a complete fast through day and night. Muslims are required to fast only when the sun is up! “Is Ramadan about understanding people who have to deal with hunger and thirst on a regular basis?” This is only a minor part of it, as the main goal is actually spiritual growth. If a Muslim is just going thirsty, hungry, and tired without avoiding cursing, smoking, fighting, arguing, gossiping, indulging in sexual activity or acting cranky, their fast turns useless and is a waste of time. “Isn’t fasting unhealthy?” In contrary to what most people think, fasting is actually good for your health. According to Live Science, “The most common eating pattern in modern societies of three meals daily, plus snacks, is abnormal from the perspective of human evolution.” And scientists have found that “intermittent fasting helps the body to rejuvenate and repair, thereby promoting overall health.” “What about sick people or children, do they still have to fast?” The answer is no. Only adult Muslims of good health may fast. Children (Under 13) and elderly people are not required to fast since it may be detrimental to their growth or health, respectively. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers have the option not to fast since their bodies are already being taxed. Women who are menstruating do not fast since; again, they are already dealing with demands on their bodies. People who have chronic health problems that fasting would exacerbate are not allowed to fast. People who come down with a serious, acute illness during the month are not allowed to fast. And people who are travelling have the option to fast or not to fast. The purpose of fasting should not be to harm oneself. And if there is likelihood that fasting will do serious harm, that Muslim is exempt from it. But don’t congratulate Muslims who cannot fast because many feel intense grief over not being able to participate in the fast of Ramadan. “Doesn’t Ramadan start in June?” Ramadan actually moves back approximately 10 days every year. This movement of the month is because every year Ramadan starts when the new moon is sighted for the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. Each month is 29-30 days long depending on the lunar cycle. This means that each year the month of Ramadan moves up 10 days in relation to the Gregorian calendar. The Ramadan in 2002 was in November, in 2016 it was in June and this year in 2018 it started in May. Because of the moving month, everyone gets to experience Ramadan in different seasons of the year. There is a kind of equality that a moving month affords because no one part of the world has to always fast in the long, hot days of summer months while another gets to fast in the shorter and cooler days of the fall and winter months.
it’s basically intermittent fasting, except you cant chew gum or drink water or consume anything. sick people or food disorders (diabetics, e4ting disorders, etc) are exempt. you can eat and drink from dusk till dawn and then the cycle repeats for 30 days :)
ty for telling me that its ok if i dont wear hijab becouse i dont relly like wearing them alot but sometimes i feel like im emberresde when i dont where hijabs
🤪 crazy girl! LOL tho! hopefully they understood when you had to go throw on one real quick! 🤭 EID MUBARAK sister and to ALL other who are celebrating that read this! 💜 I’m not Muslim, but I’m in LOVE with the way Islam is such an inclusive connecting religion even to those who aren’t a part of it! If those who aren’t Muslim want to use Islamic phrases, dress in the fashion or participate in the religious rituals*…I haven’t met a single Muslim that would turn them away or make them stand to the side. 🥹 that beautiful to me. * (sorry idk an inclusive term for fasting and prayer and all the other little things that just come naturally to being Muslim. That’s why I said “ritual” there. As in “habitual/ routine actions”. BUT… if there _is_ an Islamic term for that I would like to learn it 🙂)
Have you ever heard of Muhammad and his insane sex drive? Men in Islam aren't responsible for their behaviour. She says hijab is for "modesty" but also contradicts herself by saying that the hijab doesn't need to be preserved around people that can't marry her or have sexual relations with her. Fuckin lmao.
It goes both ways. The Quran (Muslim Holy Scripture) commands the men to "lower their gaze" before it commands women to. Both sexes are supposed to dress modestly and control their impulses.
@@dumplingsoup4914 how does dressing modestly control your OWN impulses, lmao? Sorry, but that justification is bullshit given that men are NOT ordered to cover up the same way women are ordered to, because men's body parts simply aren't sexual enough and they're not held responsible for getting raped and assaulted the same way women are. What a joke.
Hi I love learning from you and I have a question if you don’t mind. I had a friend in hs who was a Muslim and she said something once about not being able to listen to music. As an English teacher now I want to be welcoming to all people in my class but I also like to start class with music sometimes. Is that practice not helpful or permissible to any Muslim students I may have? I teach at a diverse school and I think it is possible that I could have a Muslim student in the future
Yes, listening to musical instruments is impermissible in Islam. It's possible that it might make some Muslims uncomfortable if they have no choice but to listen to it in class. That being said, the impermissibility regarding music is only limited to musical instruments and not human vocals. If you really want to have music in your class, maybe you could use purely acapella type of songs that don't contain any musical instruments.
This is a video that was posted a yr ago but, the women who do not wear hijabs, they wear dupata's (I think that's how to spell it) it's kind of like a hijab but you can take it off. You have to wear Infront of men to show respect and wearing Infront of women is kind of not necessary. Ofc you don't have to wear it Infront of ur father, husband and etc. But I think u have to wear Infront of the people you don't see often. It's also to protect u from the heat. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Dupatta is just a headscarf/accessory from India and Pakistan. It's not something you wear if you don't wear a hijab, it's specific to those cultures. Sometimes women who wear hijab also wear a dupatta, if they are from India or Pakistan. I hope this makes sense lol
people will 100% judge you but that happens with everything people will even judge you for following the religion correctly (like not celebrating birthdays for example) so it's pointless to worry about that kind of stuff and just to focus on yourself and your own actions.
You are an amazing Cake Artist, Fabulous Artwork by the way Mimo, You have told me a Great Story about why Girls have to wear a Headscarf when going out, thank you for sharing this Wonderful Story with me Mimo. 😃
Hi! I have just started to decorate cakes! I don't have a business or anything it's just for family. I was wondering when you put the simple syrup on the cakes? Do you put it on when it is hot or cold? Btw I lovd your content and I follow your tik tok! 🥰
As a muslim man I can confirm this I have read Quran and saw all hijab rules, and btw you have to wear a hijab in front of ur boy cousins if they are age of puberty when I was small my uncle lived with us with his girls well I was like 9 years old so it was okay, so yea thx for reading btw
In Islam the roles for "men" and "women" are typically defined through biological traits, so for example women can't do certain things during menstruation and the definition of "men/women" is defined biologically through sex organs for example (it does also include intersex definition for people inbetween)... so I would assume the people that can see the women without the covering would be dependent on the sex not the gender identity.
We don't consider gender identity and sex a different thing because we don't believe in the lgbtq+ community, therefore yeah, we do decide who can see our Hijab based on their sex, for example, if there is a trans man (ftm) then he can see our hair, but if your trans (mtf) you can't see our hair
so i dont really know if i want to wear the hijab yet because im still yound but my quran teacher says we have to wear it so help me like i want to wear it but i dont want to wear it?
Is it appropriate to compliment strangers on their hijab? Sometimes I see women with the most gorgeous head dresses and I just want to let them know I find it stunning but I never know if that is appropriate or would make them feel uncomfortable
Nooo it’s absolutely fine! If you came up to me saying the same things I would honestly feel be so thankful and appreciate the compliment!!! And this is the same for many Muslim women
My husband is in the medical field and back when he was a nurse in the ICU I remember he had a young female patient with head trauma he was caring for in the ICU and he had to give her sponge baths and the CNA was helping him who was also a male and he would keep coming in and out of the room specifically when my husband was bathing her and staring at this girl as she gets her sponge baths, she was like late teens I remember so my husband would pause the bath and cover her exposed area with a sheet when the guy would come in to protect her from this creep. She wasn’t Muslim or anything but he was just protecting her as a human being. People are so sick!
wearing it and then taking it off is seen as worse than just not wearing it until you are ready. however you have to wear hijab when entering mosques, so this is the only time non-hijabis will wear them really.
@@rosieshadowhawk8552 not true. It may be seen This way from an ignorant perspective but a fard is fard. Every time you skip it is a sin. Just like you wouldn't tell someone to not pray maghreb if they missed Fajr do not discourage part time hijabis from wearing it at all- it's a stepping stool in the right direction.
Ive a question for ya'll, my bestfriend shes a muslim but shes already 13 and didnt hit puberty and isnt wearing a hijab but she also had cancer 2 times 4/³ years ago, so does the kids choose what they want or not? Im not a muslim or so but i do want know how it works, im not trying to be mean or something but idk how it works or how the world works.
Why not the same apply to men? They look so handsome with their nice short hair and beard, cover them please, so that we can compliment his brain and not his looks🤚
If you're against the hijab...why are you watching a video about it? Men also have their own restrictions, though they aren't as severe as the hijab for women...but nonetheless they do have rules to follow as well. You don't care about that though, so just mosey on out of here lmao
@@omegasage777 "Men also have their own restrictions" Why are restrictions so important? I am not against hijab, I am with freedom. "though they aren't as severe as the hijab for women" Oh sister, so you also consider this severe as compared to men, why always women do more and receive less? And why I'm watching this video is because i genuinely wanted to learn about it. If you're against logic that doesn't prohibit you to watch videos about the same. It's your choice. The thing I dislike about hijab is that Muslim families(not all obv) kinda persuade their girl child into thinking they should wear because it's mandatory and something very imp like food and water, they never let them question why they should wear it. Even if the answer to the question is this is for Allah(ah cmon do you think the creator of everything will ever bother whether a normal human life wear some piece of cloth or no), OR it will bless them in their afterlife, well there's no proof for it. It's like you're believing in something which might or might not exist. There's no room for scrutiny. As if you question and quest the real reason you may find wearing or not wearing hijab doens't make any difference. But I've seen some people in my country, omg they are like if their girl denies hijab they are even ready to kill them. I'm so against their rotten belief omg. Anyways if a girl wants to do it culturally or occasionally, well wow hijab looks so pretty to me. I myself wear it with my Muslim friends sometimes in their house when I visit, like today on Eid. But making it religiously MANDATORY is something I'm against.
@@omegasage777 you just said “not as severe as the hijab” lol so you realize its extreme… you technically agree with the original commenter haha? they make a good point tbh
Another modesty rule for Muslim men that people don't usually talk about is not wearing gold jewelry or too much if you have a wedding ring in order to be more humble/modest.
I had a Muslim man explain the lowering of gazes and the principle behind the hijab to me when I was sick in a hospital as a kid. He was my nurse. As an American in the south, I had never heard his take (which is the same as what you said in the video but you had more information) and i remember it truly surprising me that it was in his view a sign of respect for women. I had only heard it portrayed as a sign of oppression and a view of women as lesser than. So glad to hear different perspectives
honestly all men shouldn't gawk or stare after said first glance. Also thank you for explaining all this!
I actually disagree tho I feel like staring is kinda harmless considering most of the time people don't know the intention of the person who is staring. If the other person feels intimidated or creeped out by the person's stare then they should stop. I feel like staring at someone u think is atractive or any other reason is natural for a man or a woman. (I am a woman btw).
I'm curious to know people's opinions on this tho so feel free to leave your opinion.
@@potatopeeps7627 staring at the opposite sex for no reason in islam isn’t allowed
@@allergictohumansnotanimals5671 ohhh I didn't know that but here I was talking about staring just in general not specific to Islam
@@potatopeeps7627 oh 🗿 staring is pretty awk regardless lol
@@potatopeeps7627 I think it’s a habit. Alhamdulillah I am married and happy with my husband. I never feel like staring at any guy 😂 nor I feel like “wo this guy is so handsome”. I don’t know what is it, but I really feel happy without this being part of my life😂 in that I mean the opposite gender. I just don’t think of men in that way (nor of women, I’m straight just to mention)
And I have many Muslim sisters they never speak or comment on men looks. We do discuss men attitude and character though. Like what’s acceptable and what not. And that’s really what matters
Thank you for addressing the fact that modesty is a man’s job too. My brothers used to not want to go to the beach because so many women wouldn’t be dressed very well there. I didn’t understand it back then, but now I am proud of them for not wanting to look at women who weren’t dressed up enough. It is a man’s job to lower his gaze if possible. And also women need to dress modestly too. It’s on both genders. These are nice videos. I am Christian so I don’t wear hijab, but I can see why you do. Please keep making videos. They are very enjoyable. 😊
All I’m getting from this, is all the things Muslim men ‘should not’, ‘must not’ and ‘cannot’ do yet most of them ignore that and do as they please! Most of the responsibility falls to the women....as per usual.
You are absolutely right. Unfortunately that’s truly how it is. And that’s with almost everything, child care, house care, and so on and so forth. But...we shall see how they will be judged for it in the afterlife. Since it is written what they must do, then they will be held accountable for it
If they ignore what Allah says it will not just disappear, this could be there their way to hell, even if they getaway with it now they will not getaway with it in the day of judgment, and if a women takes responsibility it won’t be ignored by Allah and she will be rewarded
It's unfair to say that most Muslim men don't follow the rules. I know many Muslim men, and fortunately many of them do follow the rules set down for them. Let's not give off the impression that all Muslim men are scum, because they're not. And frankly speaking, in my experience Muslim men are almost always more honourable than non-muslim men 🤷🏽♀️
@@vidyagupta18 chill out, man, you dont have to insult other peoples believes
@@BakeMyDayMimo and yet it was said by mohammed that most of the people in hell where women
this makes so much sense! i remember this one time i was shopping with my family and some other people and i saw a family wearing hijabs but there was a girl who didnt and i was really confused, tysm for explaining >w
All my aunts and girl cousins and my mom and me don’t wear hijabs and we aren’t less Muslim
Here's a critical question to all Muslim women, why do you protect your modesty with a hijab while you wear makeup on your face to appear beautiful and attract the male gaze anyway? Isn't that a huge contradiction to the concept of "protecting your modesty" in Islam?
@@Waterbug1591 we are ALLOWED to show our face. I don't know how doing so can be considered indecent or not modest, same as wearing said makeup on the face.
Islam doesn't prevent women from looking ATTRACTIVE, that's the fundamental thing some people miss.
You can still look attractive while being modest ❤️
@@faizahmohammedaruwa You can show your hair and still be modest. Why do you feel obliged to wear a hijab and cover up your hair if it's not an indecent thing? The face is even more powerful than the hair, so wearing a face veil or burkha solves the problem, correct?
Islam doesn't prevent women from looking attractive but is forcing them to wear a hijab but not a burkha as a mandatory garment to protect your modesty, isn't that a contradiction?
@@Waterbug1591 at this point your just trying to be divisive. I don't question the will of Allah, and that is what your trying to make me do. By your own logic He gave us grace by allowing us to show our face instead of our hair because, by your own words, "The face is even more powerful than the hair," So maybe that's the reason?
I don't know what to tell you man. I just follow the orders from the big man in the sky without question and so far, my life has turned out great!
This explanation is just SO much clearer than what I usually hear! I’m always very curious and have my own mixed opinions (most of which I will not voice because literally no one asked and it’s others hair not mine) about hijabs and some explanations like “women are fragile and the hijab protects them” and “you’d want your phone with the case on right?” honestly just seem a bit sexist to me (again, no hate because it’s not my hair) but “women can be seen for more than just looks” just sounds like such a great way to word it
This video was informative and helpful!one question though. Are you supposed to wear it around your sister’s husbands? Or do they count as family? Thanks!

@@Waterbug1591 well, that depends on the person. You're absolutely right as to how it can be contradicting to the concept of modesty thats why there are scholars who have ruled make up as haram and there are people who dont wear it, but just like the hijab, at the end of the day its up to you. No one can force or tell you what to or what not to do.
@@Waterbug1591 I am not Muslim and cannot speak for Muslim women, but it should be mentioned that women who wear makeup aren’t always doing it for men. Some women just like the art of putting on makeup or like how they look for themselves or their female friends.
@@jayl24548 Why do you all give the same type of incompetent argument like "women aren't wearing makeup for men" as if somehow if you keep saying that the men aren't going to gaze at you?
Men are men, if you wear makeup and present your magnified beauty, men are gonna look, whether or not you're doing it for them is completely irrelevant.
You shouldn’t have to explain yourself, but thank you for educating people! I love your channel, I am not Muslim but I have many many Muslim friends and just wish to learn more about these things, have a wonderful day!

"if they are that beautiful with the hijab on imagine if they didn't wear it"
lol its like a superpower. us mortals cannot bear to look upon such beauty
😂😂
This was very helpful. As a Jewish woman I can relate to this a lot. Also your cakes are incredible
Thank you for this video. It was really informative and helpful. Speaking from the point of view of a woman who does not wish to wear a hijab and is being forced to, I can tell you one thing: you can't force love and devotion, all you can do is make the person you are holding back hate you and want to get back at you for that. I did willingly wear a hijab at one point of time but now I no longer want to. For me it feels constricting and it reminds me of the way I am being slowly suffocated. I have come a long way in the practise of my religion and I do love Allah and I do wish to obey Him but on my own terms not the terms that others dictate to me. I don't believe that Allah wants us to be unhappy or stifle ourselves in order to follow our religion.
Can we stop and take a moment to just say how awesome of an artist you are Mimo! I love the information you are sharing with us as well! Too many people don’t take the time to even try to understand other religious and/or cultural ways of life. I LOVE that our world has so much diversity!
i started wearing the hijab at the age of two(not everday),i wasnt forced to,but i love it because my mum and others around me wore it,i started fully wearing it at the age of seven,and its just beautiful!
Oh how cool! Did you have (idk what they are called) but like a hijab party (I think it’s a cultural thing)
@@jessievecchio not that i remember but no!

The age of two? Wasn’t forced to? I don’t know if people can make rational decisions on the age of two?
@@bunny9489 I think they wanted to wear it and their parents let them because they seemed interested. not about the parents making a decision for the child
Thank you for explaining this! I did not understand why muslim women wore hijabs, so teaching me this really helped.
I wore it in hs. All four years. It made me feel like I could focus on my work better. It's like an invisibility cloak and it's great for social anxiety! Especially when you're able to stand up for yourself to the losers who harass you. I've been openly gawked at and yelled at while walking down the road. But, I've also been stopped in the library by a Muslim man saying that they appreciate seeing a modest girl and all the hardships I must go through because of it. 😊
Amazing! More power to you!

@@Waterbug1591 in my opinion, it is rather contradictory because it just defeats the purpose of wearing the hijab. Though many Muslim women do not wear makeup with the hijab and also avoid tight fitted clothes. Many even go the extra mile by veiling their faces.
@@hudycat a woman's face is beautiful as well and it attracts the male gaze, so it only makes sense to wear a burkha all day long outside, right? What's the point of hijab if it only covers the hair but not the face?
@@Waterbug1591 And if you want to then go ahead. But it hasnt been made compulsory on us, so if youd like to than alhamdulillah and you go sister! But if not, then alhamdulillah as well for whatever it is you can do to please Allah.
I hve practically grown up with Muslim woman as they were my only friends . My friends were forced to wear hijab even if she doesn't want to. If her hijab slips a bit , her mother will come and avoid her to put in the place and cover
Those are extreme cases. Not all Muslim families are like that. A lot of women in my country don't observe the hijab and my family was initially opposed to me wearing one despite being devout Muslims. It is a personal obligation and someone else cannot force it upon you, especially when you are an adult. There is no compulsion in religion. It is only natural that your hijab slips off a little when you wear it all day, it is ok if a few strands unintentionally show, that is not the purpose of it.
@@dumplingsoup4914 really ?? I have basically lived with muslim friends ..I have more than 10 friends .it's same in all cases
@@Ladycouture99 It definitely depends on the culture of the community your friends are from. A lot of Muslim communities are much more conservative. For Muslims, religion is above your culture so it up to your friends' families to be more understanding of their daughters and to guide them gently instead of forcing it :)
@@dumplingsoup4914 "extreme cases" LMFAO
just cuz you friend got forced into it doesn't mean that Islam forced it on her it's a religion it can't do nothing to u it just means that her family is toxic just like how most of the parents pressure their children to become doctor , engineer, lawyer other than that they're a failure
Whoa that writing was beautifully done! My writing in Arab or jawi is really bad 💀
women are out here in full coverage in insane heat and men cant even keep a shirt on
The reasoning behind the hijab is so wholesome. To see the beauty on the inside 😭
Loving the hijabi representation ❤️❤️❤️
This was really informative thank you, I love that it’s about valueing peoples brain and heart not appearance. I have a question and I don’t mean any offense but what happens if your lesbian? Do women still have to where hijab infront of them?
Bekah Thank you, I’m honestly not certain about that. My mother said I can but I would have to double check with a scholar on the rulings of it
I'm not muslim so take anything I say with a grain of salt, but the majority of the people where I live are Muslim and most people around me will still take their hijab off in front of queer women and afab trans people. their reasoning is that Islam doesn't recognise trans men as men and it doesn't recognise marriage between two women so they can take their hijab off in front of these people
I’m pretty sure that in Islam you’re not allowed to be gay 😰 Infact in countries that are mostly based on Islam culturally and governmentally, it’s a death sentence if you like your same sex
@næga byeonhæ ohhhh I thought they meant if you were a lesbian would you still have to wear a hijab infront of other women, that’s for clarifying
@@mylittlepolny yes it is also in Christianity, and Judaism.
So elegantly said🥰
thank you so much for this type of content not just this video but any that talks about something to do with islam. i have a friend who is muslim and i really want to learn more but im always too afraid to ask about the things im not sure of because i dont want to offend them but these videos help me so much thank you
I like how clear and easy of an explanation you did here 🧡
thank you for teaching me!
This was informational didn’t know a lot of it. Question though if it’s in the holy book that women are to wear a hijab as you mentioned why do some wear it and some don’t and the ones who don’t are they not following the command? Just curious
Thanks love. Tisha johnson it’s a preference I suppose. Hijab isn’t easy and so many woman aren’t ready to commit. It doesn’t mean they are wrong in my opinion. We are all on our own journey. 🥰🥰
Yes
they are not following the command
But in the judgment day (apocalypse) it’s not the “
only command” to be taken into account
Basically all the things you did in your life are measured or “weighed” on a scale
some commands are heavy some are not
Good dead’s vs bad dead’s
and based on which side is heavier you either go to heaven or hell
So the scale judges a person as a whole not only by one command
@@user-cd9bm1bo5t Thank you for your addition! (I hope that doesn't sound sarcastic, I genuinely appreciate it)
Yes they aren't. But that alone doesn't define them. There's more to islam than hijab
Thank you for taking the time to teach us this.
Depending on hijab interpretation it can also mean modesty. It’s so funny how Islam has so much interpretation but every one thinks their own interpretation is right.
Well yeah I feel like there’s the Quran and everyone has a slightly different interpretation of the meaning and that in essence is like them and their relationship with God, and not everyone is the same you know? So we all have our own beliefs that are pretty much the same but taken in different ways
This was so interesting! Also, your calligraphy is so beautiful!
Very informative , but I disagree that it was written … it depends more on the interpretation, bc by what is actually written it’s not clear what exactly is meant
precisely why i dont wear one! i am covered with clothes and hair, i dont need to wrap a scarf around my head to be modest :) i think the quran was 80% up to interpretation, since religion is just faith in the end. i respect whatever anyone chooses to believe but i dont like when people tell me “no you’re supposed to wear a hijab” lol ummm, where does it say that
@@2002stylan yes i totally agree !

Hijab is so misunderstood. Thank you for kindly explaining the custom to us!
None of the women in my family wear hijab, never really was even a question of whether I would wear it or not though I did dabble in college. Happy not to wear it, it just doesn't feel like "me." Can't have caused me too much trouble, men never seem to notice me much anyway, lol.
Hijab is a command from allah. It's not about stopping men looking at you and that's exactly why men are told to lower their gaze.
I remember when I was little I saw a girl at an arcade wearing a hijab and I thought it looked super pretty. I went up to her and asked where she got it and if I could have one too. I didn’t even know it was a religious thing as a kid.
Thank you for helping educate me with your beautiful voice!🙏🏼🇨🇦🥰💖👏🌹💕
i've always wanted to know why but i always thought it was a little rude and disrestectful
This helped a lot tysm =)
Thank you so much for all you do!!
One of my other muslim friends putted on a hijab ( i am a Muslim but i dont wear a hijab ) i loved it she letted me wear the hijab for the whole day
why is modesty valued? what is good about being "modest" ? i love you and ur videos i am just curious and confused. if anyone else knows please tell me !!
Why questions are usually pretty hard to quantify especially with people having different value systems depending on where they grew up and what they've been exposed to during their life. In terms of Islam though if you follow that religion then through the Quran you can see modesty is promoted in more than just what you wear but also how you act towards others and how you should try to live your life.
Modesty is just covering every attractive part of yourself so that men wouldn’t bother you. The irony is that men will do that anyway regardless of you’re dressed so you might as well look hot anyway. Muslim women in “modest” clothing aren’t allowed to do that since making yourself look attractive is actually highly discouraged in the Quran. You see muslim women with makeup and tight clothing but it’s not exactly “allowed” per se in islam. Why even follow this cult again?
Not Muslim, but all Abrahamic religions value modesty as a quality. King Solomon wrote, "People who are proud will soon be disgraced. It is wiser to be modest." Paul said women should dress with modesty in a way that focuses attention on their good actions. So basically, modesty is a trait that shows wise humility instead of plain vanity and shows that you honor your person, your conscience, and the consciences of others. Clothing is a form of self-expression, so when someone chooses to dress modestly, they are empowering themselves to communicate how they want to be perceived in terms of their relationship with God.
@@Lovesickasyy that literally makes zero fuckin sense, but sure, whatever helps you sleep at night.
It’s another separation between people and animals as they don’t have a sense of modesty.
i used to wear one but when i hit 9-10 i stopped what i think is important is is the suport for when a girl doesnt want to you dont judge
Hijab unveils a different kind of beauty ❤
I am so glad that people are starting to respect islam honestly when i heared that ladies in india were not getting repect from some of the indians i was upset but i saw a lot of other indians protecting them i am glad to everyone who respects not just islam but other religions too at the end of the day it is their religion and we should respect it
Indian Muslim ladies were literally going against the rules of school and were wearing a burkha, they were wrong
Have a good Eid!
You are a great artist ma shaa Allah!
Well explained 👏
Thank you for the explanations. They are very helpful toward understanding concepts that are not well known in Western culture. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding why some in America have a problem with head coverings. In Catholicism, a lot of times, women wear head scarves in church. And while it was more to protect hair than cover it up, women in the 60's and 70's used to wear scarves all the time. People need to lighten up and let others live their lives as they see fit. Love and respect to you. You're funny and kind, something the world needs more of 💜
Thanks Mimo!
I find the significance of the hijab to be such a beautiful thing ❤️ I am non-Muslim but I find modesty to be so beautiful buy very uncommon now a days which is sad
Could you explain Ramadan and/or fasting, I've heard about it alot but I don't really understand it
Information about Ramadan :
Ramadan is the 9th and most sacred month of the Islamic calendar
A common greeting at the start of the month is ‘Ramadan Mubarak’ which translates to Happy Ramadan.
Muslims will start the fast by waking up before dawn to have a light meal called suhoor. They will then not eat or drink anything until sunset upon which they will open their fast with a meal called iftar. Traditionally iftar will start with some dates - which is a great gift to give for Muslims in Ramadan!
Consequentially, Muslims may be more tired during the day as they slowly get use to waking up in the middle of the night to eat. However, by fasting and feeling the effects, Muslims are reminded of how fragile humans can be and how we’re dependent on God for the resources that He provides so we'll be thankful . Being hungry and thirsty throughout the day also allows for greater remembrance and compassion for the poor and the struggles that they face. Fasting is prescribed so that we may acquire self-control, patience and health improvement by reducing or eliminating impurities from the body
Ramadan is also when Muslims try and do more physical good deeds than usual by giving to charity or helping those less fortunate.
Many Muslims attempt to finish the recitation of the Quran (holy book) during the month. Some people perform an optional prayer called taraweh which takes place an hour after iftar and is usually 1.5-2hrs long. The aim here is to also finish the recitation of the Quran in congregation.
Muslims don’t mind if you eat in front of them, we understand not everyone is fasting!
Ramadan is also is also the time of the year where Muslims attempt to put all worldly matters to one side and focus on their connection with God. Therefore as much as Ramadan is a physical cleanse, the month is also seen as a spiritual cleanse. The amount of worship tends to ramp up in the last 10 days of Ramadan as they are more rewarding. It is during these days that the Quran began to be revealed, with the specific night called Laylat-ul-Qadr or The Night of Power.
The month culminates after 29/30 days (depending on the moon sighting) with a celebration called Eid-ul-Fitr or Festival of Breaking the Fast. A common greeting on the day is ‘Eid Mubarak’ which translates to Happy Eid and is marked by celebrations where families and friends get together for Eid parties.
Common questions asked about Ramadan:
“You can still drink water right?”
No, eating or drinking is not permitted while fasting. Fasting in Islam forbids you from ingesting anything.
“Fasting for 30 days, how can you survive that?”
It’s not a complete fast through day and night. Muslims are required to fast only when the sun is up!
“Is Ramadan about understanding people who have to deal with hunger and thirst on a regular basis?”
This is only a minor part of it, as the main goal is actually spiritual growth. If a Muslim is just going thirsty, hungry, and tired without avoiding cursing, smoking, fighting, arguing, gossiping, indulging in sexual activity or acting cranky, their fast turns useless and is a waste of time.
“Isn’t fasting unhealthy?”
In contrary to what most people think, fasting is actually good for your health. According to Live Science, “The most common eating pattern in modern societies of three meals daily, plus snacks, is abnormal from the perspective of human evolution.”
And scientists have found that “intermittent fasting helps the body to rejuvenate and repair, thereby promoting overall health.”
“What about sick people or children, do they still have to fast?”
The answer is no. Only adult Muslims of good health may fast. Children (Under 13) and elderly people are not required to fast since it may be detrimental to their growth or health, respectively.
Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers have the option not to fast since their bodies are already being taxed. Women who are menstruating do not fast since; again, they are already dealing with demands on their bodies.
People who have chronic health problems that fasting would exacerbate are not allowed to fast. People who come down with a serious, acute illness during the month are not allowed to fast. And people who are travelling have the option to fast or not to fast.
The purpose of fasting should not be to harm oneself. And if there is likelihood that fasting will do serious harm, that Muslim is exempt from it. But don’t congratulate Muslims who cannot fast because many feel intense grief over not being able to participate in the fast of Ramadan.
“Doesn’t Ramadan start in June?”
Ramadan actually moves back approximately 10 days every year. This movement of the month is because every year Ramadan starts when the new moon is sighted for the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. Each month is 29-30 days long depending on the lunar cycle. This means that each year the month of Ramadan moves up 10 days in relation to the Gregorian calendar. The Ramadan in 2002 was in November, in 2016 it was in June and this year in 2018 it started in May. Because of the moving month, everyone gets to experience Ramadan in different seasons of the year. There is a kind of equality that a moving month affords because no one part of the world has to always fast in the long, hot days of summer months while another gets to fast in the shorter and cooler days of the fall and winter months.
it’s basically intermittent fasting, except you cant chew gum or drink water or consume anything. sick people or food disorders (diabetics, e4ting disorders, etc) are exempt. you can eat and drink from dusk till dawn and then the cycle repeats for 30 days :)
That black on those colors were 😍

I’m not Muslim, but I’m in LOVE with the way Islam is such an inclusive connecting religion even to those who aren’t a part of it! If those who aren’t Muslim want to use Islamic phrases, dress in the fashion or participate in the religious rituals*…I haven’t met a single Muslim that would turn them away or make them stand to the side. 🥹 that beautiful to me.
* (sorry idk an inclusive term for fasting and prayer and all the other little things that just come naturally to being Muslim. That’s why I said “ritual” there. As in “habitual/ routine actions”. BUT… if there _is_ an Islamic term for that I would like to learn it 🙂)
Not inclusive if it doesn't go both ways
Shouldn't the onus be on the men to control their lust and impulses, instead of on the women to cover up?
Have you ever heard of Muhammad and his insane sex drive? Men in Islam aren't responsible for their behaviour.
She says hijab is for "modesty" but also contradicts herself by saying that the hijab doesn't need to be preserved around people that can't marry her or have sexual relations with her. Fuckin lmao.
It goes both ways. The Quran (Muslim Holy Scripture) commands the men to "lower their gaze" before it commands women to. Both sexes are supposed to dress modestly and control their impulses.
@@dumplingsoup4914 how does dressing modestly control your OWN impulses, lmao? Sorry, but that justification is bullshit given that men are NOT ordered to cover up the same way women are ordered to, because men's body parts simply aren't sexual enough and they're not held responsible for getting raped and assaulted the same way women are.
What a joke.
Hi I love learning from you and I have a question if you don’t mind. I had a friend in hs who was a Muslim and she said something once about not being able to listen to music. As an English teacher now I want to be welcoming to all people in my class but I also like to start class with music sometimes. Is that practice not helpful or permissible to any Muslim students I may have? I teach at a diverse school and I think it is possible that I could have a Muslim student in the future
Yes, listening to musical instruments is impermissible in Islam. It's possible that it might make some Muslims uncomfortable if they have no choice but to listen to it in class. That being said, the impermissibility regarding music is only limited to musical instruments and not human vocals. If you really want to have music in your class, maybe you could use purely acapella type of songs that don't contain any musical instruments.

Very informative, thank you! UA-cam brought me here 😂 how did they know I am having a crush on a Muslim guy?
This is a video that was posted a yr ago but, the women who do not wear hijabs, they wear dupata's (I think that's how to spell it) it's kind of like a hijab but you can take it off. You have to wear Infront of men to show respect and wearing Infront of women is kind of not necessary. Ofc you don't have to wear it Infront of ur father, husband and etc. But I think u have to wear Infront of the people you don't see often. It's also to protect u from the heat. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Dupatta is just a headscarf/accessory from India and Pakistan. It's not something you wear if you don't wear a hijab, it's specific to those cultures. Sometimes women who wear hijab also wear a dupatta, if they are from India or Pakistan. I hope this makes sense lol
I wonder if people judge you if you don't wear one? As you stated, not every woman decides to wear it
people will 100% judge you but that happens with everything people will even judge you for following the religion correctly (like not celebrating birthdays for example) so it's pointless to worry about that kind of stuff and just to focus on yourself and your own actions.
Judgy people all around lol
uhhh yea a lotta people do it but we always keep in mind that only Allah can judge so screw them !
Judging someone is haram according to islam so yeah if someone does it they need to remember that.

In Islam the roles for "men" and "women" are typically defined through biological traits, so for example women can't do certain things during menstruation and the definition of "men/women" is defined biologically through sex organs for example (it does also include intersex definition for people inbetween)... so I would assume the people that can see the women without the covering would be dependent on the sex not the gender identity.
We don't consider gender identity and sex a different thing because we don't believe in the lgbtq+ community, therefore yeah, we do decide who can see our Hijab based on their sex, for example, if there is a trans man (ftm) then he can see our hair, but if your trans (mtf) you can't see our hair
I have always found Arabic to be very beautiful.
Sister, assalamalaikum. how can someone get one of your cakes? Do you ship or is it just hand delivered? Thank you
so i dont really know if i want to wear the hijab yet because im still yound but my quran teacher says we have to wear it so help me like i want to wear it but i dont want to wear it?
Is it appropriate to compliment strangers on their hijab? Sometimes I see women with the most gorgeous head dresses and I just want to let them know I find it stunning but I never know if that is appropriate or would make them feel uncomfortable
Nooo it’s absolutely fine! If you came up to me saying the same things I would honestly feel be so thankful and appreciate the compliment!!! And this is the same for many Muslim women
@@n.a7848 Aw I’m so glad thank you for the answer!!!

Beautiful african safari theme cake by the way. You drew and painted that giraffe and elephant like a pro.
We r Muslim and we love Muslims and non Muslims we support everyone to be Muslim
2:10 i thought you mean songkok, or those hat that most ustadz/imaam use back in the mosque (idk what do you call those things in english).
My husband is in the medical field and back when he was a nurse in the ICU I remember he had a young female patient with head trauma he was caring for in the ICU and he had to give her sponge baths and the CNA was helping him who was also a male and he would keep coming in and out of the room specifically when my husband was bathing her and staring at this girl as she gets her sponge baths, she was like late teens I remember so my husband would pause the bath and cover her exposed area with a sheet when the guy would come in to protect her from this creep. She wasn’t Muslim or anything but he was just protecting her as a human being. People are so sick!
wonderful talk ...
annnnnnnd gorgeous safari design 🥰
I wore it in 8.5 years old and I'm now 9.3
Could you wear a hijab 1 day and not the next day . Or do you have to wear it full Time
wearing it and then taking it off is seen as worse than just not wearing it until you are ready.
however you have to wear hijab when entering mosques, so this is the only time non-hijabis will wear them really.
@@rosieshadowhawk8552 thanks
@@rosieshadowhawk8552 not true. It may be seen This way from an ignorant perspective but a fard is fard. Every time you skip it is a sin. Just like you wouldn't tell someone to not pray maghreb if they missed Fajr do not discourage part time hijabis from wearing it at all- it's a stepping stool in the right direction.
@@TheShows247 I'm not? I was just saying that most people who do not wear hijab will only wear it when praying, which is true for most.

Ive a question for ya'll, my bestfriend shes a muslim but shes already 13 and didnt hit puberty and isnt wearing a hijab but she also had cancer 2 times 4/³ years ago, so does the kids choose what they want or not? Im not a muslim or so but i do want know how it works, im not trying to be mean or something but idk how it works or how the world works.
@@Lovesickasyy ooohhh alright
It's just a personal choice for every woman/girl. You will not find concrete answers for why someone wears/doesn't wear hijab because it is subjective
@@Lovesickasyy you explained beautifully. People misunderstand the “free will” part.
Do your kids wear it? And if so when did they start sorry if I am being nosy I’m just curious 😗
Yes kids will wear it but parents don’t and can’t force them they can start wearing hijab whenever they chose to
Why not the same apply to men? They look so handsome with their nice short hair and beard, cover them please, so that we can compliment his brain and not his looks🤚
If you're against the hijab...why are you watching a video about it? Men also have their own restrictions, though they aren't as severe as the hijab for women...but nonetheless they do have rules to follow as well. You don't care about that though, so just mosey on out of here lmao
@@omegasage777 "Men also have their own restrictions"
Why are restrictions so important? I am not against hijab, I am with freedom.
"though they aren't as severe as the hijab for women"
Oh sister, so you also consider this severe as compared to men, why always women do more and receive less?
And why I'm watching this video is because i genuinely wanted to learn about it. If you're against logic that doesn't prohibit you to watch videos about the same. It's your choice.
The thing I dislike about hijab is that Muslim families(not all obv) kinda persuade their girl child into thinking they should wear because it's mandatory and something very imp like food and water, they never let them question why they should wear it. Even if the answer to the question is this is for Allah(ah cmon do you think the creator of everything will ever bother whether a normal human life wear some piece of cloth or no), OR it will bless them in their afterlife, well there's no proof for it. It's like you're believing in something which might or might not exist. There's no room for scrutiny. As if you question and quest the real reason you may find wearing or not wearing hijab doens't make any difference. But I've seen some people in my country, omg they are like if their girl denies hijab they are even ready to kill them. I'm so against their rotten belief omg.
Anyways if a girl wants to do it culturally or occasionally, well wow hijab looks so pretty to me. I myself wear it with my Muslim friends sometimes in their house when I visit, like today on Eid. But making it religiously MANDATORY is something I'm against.
@@vidyagupta18 I'm not reading all that but have a blessed day fam
*I am also against mandatory hijab for the record. I don't wear it 💁
@@omegasage777 cool have a great day ✨
@@omegasage777 you just said “not as severe as the hijab” lol so you realize its extreme… you technically agree with the original commenter haha? they make a good point tbh
Omg the lion king cake is beautiful!!!!
I wear it and I am 8 I start at 7-8 I pick to
Another modesty rule for Muslim men that people don't usually talk about is not wearing gold jewelry or too much if you have a wedding ring in order to be more humble/modest.
Lots of things about what muslim men have normalized are barely talked about.
