honest co-parenting chat ,eid outfits, making the viral date bar & errands| RAMADAN WEEKLY VLOG 3 

I was a single mother of two boys for 8 years, and it was the hardest time of my life.. People dont realise how hard it is unless they have gone through it themselves...ALLAH azzawajal make it easy for all the single mothers as well as parents in general ameen 🤲🏼

Your a lovely person and a great mum, I'm a single mum to 5 boys, it's not easy , many times I've wanted to scream or cry my eyes out, but, in sha Allah , you get through it, my eldest is soon to be 20. Alhumdulillah, for all the hardship, I wouldn't change a thing, those boys are my world, they are the reason why I'm still here.

I used to watch your videos everyday after school in highschool, life got in the way but I'm in college and watching more of your videos again, I can't believe how much Liyana and Malik have grown up and your videos are still so great to watch ☺️

So true about the parenthood struggles. Even if you're not a single parent, it's rarely 50/50. Mothers usually take on most the load. I always call myself the married single parent because although my husband and I are together he works 16 hour days so I hardly see him and I run the household by myself. We have 2 kids aged 1 and 4 and I home educate so I feel like I'm never off the clock. As much as I love being a mother I get so overwhelmed by all the things that need to get done and knowing that no matter how much I'm struggling no one is coming to help it's all on me to get it done, be it housework the food shop or something for the kids there's just me, can be so hard to stay positive. I would love to have more kids but in reality I don't know how I would cope if there were more kids to care for. I know people say it gets easier as the kids grow and become independent but I think trying to survive to that point is the key....what's the point if you're mentally and physically broken by the time your kids are independent? You won't be able to enjoy it. So people need to stop comparing women of today to women of the past when times were completely different.

Salaam Sisters, I don’t wish to comment but for some reason I feel like I need to. When I was growing up my parents and other parents did not have a village to help them. You would be surprised to know how difficult it was during the 70s, 80s and 90s. People were struggling a lot, living in cramped conditions, no money, no food to eat, no education, no washing machine, racism was much worst before in the U.K. There are some people who live alone not because of choice. They have to manage everything on their own. Just remember that God is looking after us all. You are intelligent, beautiful, young, you have children, a big house, garden, dishwasher, car and a job. Sometimes we focus too much on others and what we don’t have. The real blessings are with the people and things we already have . I am no life coach but try to master the art of being alone and doing things alone. We all need social interaction but it’s not worth chasing your whole life for it. Allow it to come to you. Make dua that the right people come to our lives who are good for our Deen/ Hereafter and not just for the duniya.

Zeinah someone may have suggested this to already but if you and your husband was inlove and all of a sudden you fell apart it could be evil eye or black magic. Xasad people dont like beautiful Happy couple. If you start reading surah al baqrah or ayatul kursi everyday you can defeat those obstacles. Life is beautiful with a partner xabibty. As long as your ex was not abusive and deceitful. Children need that love and support of both parent even apart.

Liyana is cuute, Malik is the son that everyone prays for.

I understand about the co-parenting. It is rare for it to be a full 50/50. But, as my child grew older, I realized I am glad. The effort I put in blossomed into a beautiful person. Without this trial I wouldn't have had such a great reward.

30:45 yea true. People sort of use evil eye as a way to dodge accountability. Trials are not always a sign of punishment.

MashaAllah, you are a really good mum for your children 🥹. The way you reward them for every good thing that they do is wonderful! I find the idea with these Islamic books really good.

Watching you is so nostalgic.😭 I remember how i binged your videos years back.❤️

I like your videos, I am a single mother of two kids a boy and a girl and they are about the same ages as yours, stay strong you are doing so great

Your absolutely right getting them to help is a skill your teaching them, we are raising them to be independent adults x

This was such a lovely video it was like catching up with a friend and was so comforting ❤thank you for being so real. You are a blessing MashaAllah sis xxx love ❤️

I love the reflections you share! I always benefit from them so much. And the fact that they are not scripted make them even better 🤍 praying Allah swa always protects you and your lovely children

Lovely video Zeinah, what what you said about parenting/single parenting in this day and age is so true!

You’re doing a great job sis, may Allah make things easy for you. Your children are adorable mashallah. It is a struggle, I’m also a single mum to a little girl mashallah. But I would choose this life every time, im now finally at peace.. it’s better to be single than in a toxic marriage which your children witness. Allah never gives us more than we can take. We are strong women, we can do this! If your trials are bringing you closer to Allah swt, then see them as a blessing 💕

You're such an amazing mum❤ Allah bless you and your children with good health and piety and taqwa aameen ya rabb

I’m not going to dare to presume I know how to co parent or single parent. But some things that have helped me keep my house going… 1. Freezer meal prep all the proteins. Once a month or twice a month, just get them all done 2. Cleaning schedule for small tasks throughout the week. That way it doesn’t pile up for your weekend. If this isn’t working, look into getting a cleaning service once or twice a month to give you a break 3. Evening routine to tidy the house before you go to bed every night. Pop in your air pops to a podcast and when it’s over, you’re done cleaning (whether you are actually done or not) because you also have to rest

It's tough being a single mum, May Allah make it easy for you and reward you for all you do for your kids

Stay strong ❤ you are doing so well xx

The basket you made is so cute allahumma barik! ❤

Liyana is adorable mashAllah ❤she looks just as pretty as you Allahumma barek 💖

Stay strong 💪 your doing an excellent job being a single parent isn't easy im on myself but at the end you will be awarded for it all❤ you're an amazing mom!!

Loving the sister hood support / vibes in the comments ❤

We need an updated skincare/ makeup routine because sis your skin is flawless mashallah ❤️❤️❤️ also what did you use on your lashes ??

The lilac hijab looked so good on you !

mashAllah, I love this Ramadan basket idea for the kids! inshAllah I'll do that next Ramadan, this year they got a calender. You are an absolute amazing Mom mashAllah! Never let anybody tell you otherwise!!!May Allah always help you and bless your family and give you peace, amin. ❤

You are an amazing mother masha Allah Your children are adorable

Being a single parent ain’t easy May Allah make it easier on us amen 🙏🏾

Zeinah prepare your weekly iftar after you break your fast so you can cook and taste your food and most importantly you will have energy.

I can’t wait for the tacos recipe since I saw your shorts.

The amount of gems dropped in these vids I had to put the vid on loop to relisten to the beautiful advices! May we get the ability to practice on it all and in turn be a means of sadaqah jariaah for you. ... The whole vibe of these Ramadan vlogs are so calm. Prefer it over the sky TV shows you promote!lol

Hi Zeinah can you tell me where did get the prayer cloth i really like the colour

You are so strong.Insallah you will be happy with your kids❤❤❤

That 40 day break probably could be the answer to postnatal depression ppl can’t understand how much rest and time women need when they have had a baby but we don’t even get that time 😮

May allah make it easier for you Inshallah. Its so sad how some ppl cant be kinder even in ramadan! Some of the comments! consider ppls dont always be out on the attack ppl. Yea Zeinah u are right it most certainly takes a village to raise kids that support is very important and having inlaws/ family around. Yes ppl back then faced their fair share of difficulties but still had family support around them. I remember growing up having aunts uncles around babysitting n helping out where needed. I for 1 have a 4 year old and 1 year old and nkt 1 day have i had anyone's supprt of keeping them for even an hour! Your doing a great job Zeinah keep it up and u spoke facts in your video

Love your Hijab style with earrings. Please do some tutorials

Hey Zeinah, not sure if you have, but cant find the link you said you'd post to the shop where the quran journal was from. Thanks

Where did you get your preyer gown from? Always love your videos ❤

I’m in a normal relationship yet it feels like I have a man child. The only responsibility I don’t have is bills but everything else is 99% mine. That takes a huge toll on me every few months and I have a mental breakdown and I get so angry at why Allah has given me such a difficult partner. So yes I will say it, single parenting must be x1000 harder. May Allah help you everyday. I feel inshallah you will flourish more as life goes on x

You are such a beautiful soul, doing absolutely great with raising your gorgeous children- I'm struggling with the fasts, the ones I have managed to keep, I've not had any energy & slept to get through them- you put me to shame!

Asalam Alaikum sister ❤I hope you are having a good month of Ramadan and your sweet children too ❤❤ I also wanted to ask do they go to an Islamic school? I’m from the south too and trying to find an Islamic school for my boy when he starts school next year! Asalam Alaikum ❤

Your vlogs remind me of that song “ I think I like this little life” Masha’Allah, May Allah make it easy for us all❤🥹

Where is your cardigan from please its beautiful?

We have starters - vegetable soup/porridge/shurba Somali /east african fried stuff Mail meal - everyday lunch meals Dessert - fruit salad / sweet vermecelli / sweetened plantain with coconut milk

So I can't do the East African traditional iftar food anymore I find it incredibly heavy so I do dates, some days sambusa and straigh dinner. I love our food but i find eating straigh dinner is better for me

That was exactly me today with the weather 😅

How far are your family?

I need the salat gown where is it from

Loved what you said towards end mashallah may allah reward you for the message. Allahs tribulations are needed in our life its either a blessing or a test for us and either way we learn from it. May allah make everyone's hardship easy out there and bring the best out of them during this ramadan ❤️

Sorry Zainah im one of those people who only drink really cold water 😂 most days i put ice in it too or freeze my bottle 😂 i cant drink room temp ❤

abayo wa ku jecelnahay video gada Allah ku xafido

So jealous that your family eats lamb. My husband doesn't, his family doesn't for Easter, and our toddler has no interest. I bought a single-serving package this week so I could eat it close to the holiday. Your food looks so heavenly!

You're amazing

Yeah, I'm with you on the psychopathic behavior and drinking cold water... My husband and son drink it cold while my daughter and I drink it room temp. And they are psychos. Lol, but loving the videos! I struggle as a married woman so I know you're being pulled in sooo many directions. You're doing an amazing job Mama.

May Allah male everything easy for you

Hunni some people are in marriages but feel like they are a single parent 😔

❤your accent

We go for a walk every night, even when its freezing 🥶. I sleep sooo much better. Take a hot shower 🚿🧼🫧 & im out 😴

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh sister mashallah congratulations 🎉

Chicken Tinga is Mexican cuisine. I’m Mexican and Muslim Alhamdulillah but we don’t use packs for it? I think they have spices in there to make it easier on people

JazakAllahu Khairan❤ for sharing these videos❤.. for keeping us company during Ramadan❤ ... 17:14 28/03 ❤❤❤

It’s not just single parents - plenty of joint parent families struggle if one of the parents work away/very long hours on top of managing school/home/work/other family responsibilities. Allah give those struggling sabr and strength. Ameen 🧡

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّـهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا :'Allah burdens not anyone beyond his or her capacity.'

Shani is Coca-Cola company. I’m so mad at them for acquiring every single local brand. In Moroccan they bought Hawaii, in Algeria Mirinda etc etc

Why do you have to move house?

Look into adrenal gland maintenance for great sleep and stress management; aswaghanda, liquorice root, lemon balm, ginseng...

Love Shani ! But we're not having it anymore, it's a boycotted item 😊

Evil eye does exist unfortunately which is why people are careful when posting family/babies online. You don’t know who could be intentionally or unintentionally giving you the evil eye and Allah does not have to protect you from it. That’s His discretion. It’s shocking because this is the 3rd “older” influencer I’ve seen this year who’s now divorced.

Hello from Algeria I love your videos Can I just say in Islam we shouldn't take divorce so liking so was just thinking like why and who wanted divorce it's so sad

Longer vlogs are better

All you people moaning about being single parents persumably you are healthy and have healthy kids. Some of us have serious medical conditions and severily disabled kids

I dont know how to put this put my personal view is nowadays too much is bn post online.amd also also divorce is becoming soo normal like rveryone sharing their jorney etc which is gd sometime but u nd to remember sometime u need to bear a bit of sabr (patience on ur relantionship dont just walk away make it work.as long he has not raise his hand on you or bein g abusive try m make it wrk for the poor kids sake.i underztand that zeinah story might b diferent which i dont kow.respect to u.good luck.
