I think every hijabi ever has that stage where they have the most voluminous and biggest hijab style that goes on for months until they realize it looks crazy! Guilty af
honestly. people. get over yourself. stop telling her what way to wear the hijab. its ok because its her style. we cant digest it coz its different. if u dont like it dont do it. atleast she is doing something. i am a muslim i dont even wear a hijab. she wears a scarf. evrybody has their own thing. u can already see enough comments about her hijab. it's not important for everyone to jump in and start commenting about it.
agree with you. There's a universal rule no matter the religion, culture, or race. We have no right to judge others. Everyone is free to believe and act as they please as long as you don't hurt or put someone's integrity in danger. Stop the hate and judgement. you can think whatever you want in your mind but if you're not gonna say something nice don't say anything at all
***** it's her decision. If she decides she can stop wearing it. And Allah knows whats inside. Maybe He accepts her effort. u dont really know. Us humans know nothing. And islam forbids judgement of another person's faith. And guess what she inspired me so much that i started doing hijab and from this style i will gradually change to wearing the whole abaya... so won't Allah put positive points into her data? Just stop the judgement.
***** ikr. Even islam teaches us. Islam tells us all the things we should follow but if someone is not followig that thn we are not supposed to judge them. Because everybody is different.thats the beauty if His creation. That He made us all different in nature.
***** and what if Allah accepts this in her case?? And im not pretendig that this is the right way. But this is something. She is not showing off her hair. Even when i wear hijab the other way. Which is proper according to everyone. Still the hair on my front pop out. The thing is don't force others so much that they stop doing even what they are doing. I see comments which are not humble.
It's quiet ironic how there are many people commenting and questioning on Dinas faith because of the attire she's wearing. The majority of you probably don't pray at all, go out or even worse and the funny thing is that it's the men having the audacity to complain. I know many Muslim girls that cover up for show and are a far cry from being a Muslim. You can clearly see the baggy clothes she wears, the scarf around her neck and her own style of hijab. We are in no position to judge. So sit back and watch or remove yourself.
+Sunna Followers I think you've misinterpreted what I'm saying. In no way did I say that if you Sin then you can never be Muslim. What I am saying is that those that are insulting Dina could hardly be put on the pedestal for a devote Muslims and nor will they admit it, which you ironically are saying about Dina. Also the way Dina has done her scarf is perfectly fine although she can do it differently. The Hadith focuses on the breast and head. You are right, there is no problem for pointing out to a fellow sister that she can do her head scarf different. However there is a thin line to educating and insulting. Also lets not focus on the female and let's look into this Chapter 24, An-Nur, Verse 30 “Say to the believing men that: they should cast down their glances and guard their private parts (by being chaste). This is better for them. And not to lustfully look at a woman” Or should we just insult Dina more? The choice is up to you.
"Sunna followers", you do realise that criticising and advising someone in public is very not Islamic. If your intention is pure and you do it for Allah, so that you can guide her to the right path, you should be doing it privately, saying things like she is not doing what Allah is asking and things like that is embarrassing her. Unless you feel like, whenever someone is telling you off as an amazing thing without you feeling embarrassed at all, even then it is still not Islamic. If you are what you say you are, be more Islamic and privately message her.
***** Well, that is between you and Allah. But to me, doing so is embarrassing to her. Like for me, I know that some of the things she is doing is wrong, what I can do is advice her in private or pray to Allah that Allah guides her to the straight path. Even if she doesn't read nor reply to your privates messages. You know that Allah will still give you good deeds as you have tried. Iam not perfect, can never be perfect, just because Allah hides my sins does not mean I am not a sinner. Oh and I don't want Allah to show mine either. Just because she is a public figure, it does not mean that you can say or talk about her aib in front of other people. We are not here to judge. Sometimes having a lot of Islamic knowledge makes us more judgmental when in contrary we should be less.
***** Lol attack. It is funny when I tell you off it is an attack but when you 'advice' people it is not. Hypocrite at the finest. To be honest, no point in talking to people who think so highly of themselves. I am not preventing you from advising people, I am asking you to do it gracefully and in an islamic way but it's hard to tell people that believe they are way better than everyone else. May Allah guide you to be humble and be a better Muslim insyaAllah. Let's see how you like when I tell you off in public. From the previous posts tho, you don't seem to like it lol. Don't bother replying. I am not going to entertain Muslims like you.
I really respect you Dina but I think its so sad how you thought/think you were fat in the older pictures... I know you had an eating disorder but I hope, if you have a little girl, you don't make her feel that way about herself as well.
don't worry, when a person who had an eating disorder or suffered mental depression/ anxiety or had self harming issues; you can recognise the signs in other people esp with those closest to you x
Sydney Chamberland Most women seem to think they look better thin because that's what they are indoctrinated by (especially in the Europe / US context) but I think this video is a prime example that women look amazing when they actually have some body fat rather than having very little which leaves them looking dull and aged.
Sydney Chamberland OMG why the hate everyone has old pictures that they are no proud of, having more weight on or having a really wired style. I guarantee when most girls look at their old pic they will say the same thing. people go through phases in their life and they have the right to criticise it, otherwise no improvement will ever be needed. stop making her sound like she has a problem when she doesn't
I find it really discusting that at the end all comes to hijab and modesty. There are A LOT of other virtues that a girl can have and may be more important for Allah, like kindness, compasion, diligence and so on. But all MEN care is that the woman shows or not her body.
MsVio99 It has a lot of different names, but whether it's hijabi shaming or slut shaming, men in every part of the world attempt in some way to control what women wear and blame women for the bad sexual behavior of men.
I love your message about telling young people not to grow up too fast. I 100% agree with that! I am a little sad, though, that you kept saying you were "chunky" or that your cheeks were big. I think you were absolutely beautiful! Plus we can't always control those sorts of things, anyway. My sister has battled an eating disorder for years because she worried about how wide her face was. There are more important things! Easier said than felt, obviously. :)
hahahahahaha this is so good! I watched you from the very beginning, and when I first started wearing hijab, I copied your style, with the homemade loofah hair volumize (a tutorial of yours in fact), half way through the day the volumiser had slipped off and was dragging my scarf back as well as making it sag, it looked like voldemort was trying to escape!
Nisa N I remember making that loofah hair volimize DIY thing and wearing it though senior year and now l look back at pictures and cringe because the back side of my head looks abnormal lmao thanks a lot Dina
Love you Dina. Your style is so inspirational to young British muslim girls... keep smiling and may Allah grant u all the happiness and bless you with a healthy little baby (Ameen )
Dear Dina, I am not muslim, I am a christian 21 year old girl but I am about to adopt a lot of the islamic faith as I am now reading the Qu'ran for the first time. And I understand exactly how you feel and how you react to these old pictures because in my oppinion it is normal to change a lot during the puberty and I went through a similar process. But what I really don't get is why half of the muslim people here just take note about 3 centimetres of hair shown on her forehead. Guys, she didn't feel comfortable back in these days, she had an eating disorder, she felt fat - and she wore her hijab in another way. And? Really, what is wrong with you muslim guys that you think you can judge any girl or woman on her hijab? Does hijab mean she has to wear boring clothes and feel uncomfortable? I read in the Qu'ran it is not allowed to judge because Allah forbids it - are you muslims so far about your own religion? Really I am thinking about saying Shahada, the more I read in the Qu'ran, the more it changes my personality and my faith. But when I think about wearing the hijab I already feel nervous and you know why? Because people like you! It is hard enough to wear this scarf in these times and that the western civilization judges hijabis as suppressed women or worse, so we really don't need more judgement from the Umma itself! Please think about it and be kind and understanding. We say in Austria: Clean your own house, before you start with another. Greetins from Austria
Hi xX33ZoEe33Xx, Your concerns are right and to the point. Actually Islam doest not allow to judge somebody on his faith, only God can judge this. I think a lot of these people trying to make a big fuss of three hairs that can be seen through Dina's scard are either jealous or fustrated. People tend to judge without knowing the real story and it is si sad. by judging on these little thing they are giving the wrong image of Islam, like it is a harsh religion, you have to care about silly little things and it is really hard to be a good muslim. Some are comenting on the lipstick, but the thing is if they focus on these silly comments nobody is gonna become muslim anymore So i support every word u have said in your post and i also support u in your struggle to find the right path Sorry for my poor english Best wishes from France
oh don't worry, it's not a muslim thing it's just an Arab/ middle eastern thing.. we have to criticize everything and put our noses in everybody's business as if we are saints :D in islam we are to taught to "leave the creation "people" to the creator "
Sunna Followers you're hilarious and also a guy I presume? So Muslim women aren't allowed to beautify themselves. But ofc "Allah loves beauty". Next time I leave the house I'll make sure I look as ugly as I possibly can. #DearSister
xX33ZoEe33Xx plz don't learn islam from muslim but from the quran and hadith if she is nt as right as she waw 5 yrs back the its her mistake bcz quran and islam remaned the same
listen mate if you disagree with what she is doing then go mind your own business in some other place. ppl can do what ever they like. if you wanna be a really true muslim you shouldn't be on youtube any way go do itikaf in a mosque or something
thumbs up if you think dina should do an advice video for teens and not growing up too fast... or advice videos in general i think she would be great at it!
AH M Its society. We should looking up to white people to be honest, who are ahead in sciences, medicine, law, culture, space technoligy, intelligence etc hell I met 15 year white girls who are way more intelligent and decent then mid 20s Muslims.
Excalibar Eclipse I think there is an exception to every rule. There are plenty of intelligent teens and mid20s and older Muslims. I do think we don't know half the story anyway because the media doesn't highlight our achievements as much as the average white, Christian kid is highlighted. Plus, there was once a time where Muslims were ahead. They laid the foundation for the work you say white people are doing today. I guess we're suffering major setbacks foor sure. There are too many internal crises for muslims right now. War and poverty and so on. I don't think it's fair to compare, especially considering it is the West which had a large hand in destabilizing Muslim societies (not to deny the muslim's hands in their own destructions, but my point is that I don't think it's a good idea to compare.) Anyway, this went off topic I think, all I meant by my comment was that Dina should make videos to give young girls advice because she has a good head on her shoulders and in my opinion would give good advice, maybe she would guide some young girls in the right way, and I don't think this white peoples achievements vs Muslims achievements debate has any link to what I was talking about. Appreciate your input, and I do agree to a certain extent. Thanks for your comment :) And thank you for the likes everybody. I do hope Dina starts advice videos. It would be lovely.
Im 19 right now and so many people that I went to school with look so grown up now and look stylish with cool makeup and here I am looking like a 14/15 year old girl haha And even tho sometimes I get upset when I see pics of people my own age who look grown up and amazing, I know that one day I will shine!!♥ Haha but no seriously, I think everyone "upgrades" in there own time. Some in their teens, some in the twenties etc Just a matter of patience and finding yourself :)
You're literally the funniest person on here, and you and sid together are just even worse! Always have me cracking up in every video, no joke. Must admit i thought you were like a lot of other bloggers nowadays but you're actually soo down to earth, it's really refreshing to see. And this video proves it. I'm 16 and everyone my age are like skipping the 'in-between, embarrassing' stage, and i'm kinda just chilling out and doing it my own way cos I know that they're just being influenced by others. HATE trends. One thing thats really annoying tho is how people look down on you just cos you're not at the same stage as everyone my age nowadays, but i know its normal
loool, where exactly is yugoslavia?! cuz fyi there is no such country anymore for a long time now. and in ex-yugoslavia people were actually of a christian majority - only a certain percent of bosnians were/are muslims and they don't really cover their hair much.
I actually think that you looked really cool and stylish in your old photos just as you do now. I like them gangster ones with the bandanas and the hat. you remind me of me. some of these old looks you could bring back. that intricate makeup was bomb too. these old photos make me love your style even more.
A Scarf is to cover your hair and modestly rear atention away from your body . Although i find the turban reveales the hair,neck and attracts attention . Also when praying we cant reveal the neck ears or chest so the turban cotradicts islamic covering due to the fact you cant pray .
That's not embarrassing, dear.. that was the correct way to wear hijab I think :) But, yeah.. u still look gorgeous now with all the things you have chosen.. Allah bless you :)
thank you SO much for the reassurance!!!! I'm turning 18 this year and literally everyone i know is extremely gorgeous and popular with over 1000 insta followers, just because of their looks and style. it makes me really depressed because i am no where near being so put together!
All of you guys shaming her are too funny. You say shes wearing it the wrong way and calling her a sharmuta (slut) and you guys still have the audacity to pretty much claim that you are a better Muslim than her. In Islam, you do not judge or criticize anyone under any circumstances. It is a religion of peace, love and understanding. Please remove yourself from the comments because you just sound like a bloody idiot going on and insulting her when you are no better yourself. If you believe she is doing wrong, that is between her and God, and it is in no way your business.
Actually loved this video!! The way you got Sid to take some of those pics of you 😭😂 you're so hilarious!! Beautiful then and beautiful now, masha'Allah Xx
You're awesome Dina. I'm almost 22 years old and when I look at pictures in middle school and even high school I ask myself what the hell was I smoking lol(never actually did drugs nor do I now). But it's so refreshing now to look and compare with kids now days. Thanks for sharing. As always bless you, your husband and your baby.
We are of the same generation. I took a lot of selfies for MySpace when I was 15/16. I'm always surprised when I see how grown up teenagers look these days!! Side note: I love how you're wearing your headscarf in this video. It looks really good :) x
"DONT BLOSSOM TOO FAST" I couldn't agree more! I looked a hot mess in my teens it's only now in my mid 20s that I'm like "Yasssssss, look at what God did!" :D HAHAHA Xx
I had to pause the video to write this -- yes! I am 22 now, so only couple years younger than you are, and I feel like when I was 12, 10 years ago, I was still playing with my younger brother and his friends (no girls my age in the neighbourhood), riding bikes, running around, and at that time I JUST started to look around for some makeup, I would usually only wear a little bit of mascara, a sheer lipgloss or a lipbalm, and maybe a little concealer because I have quite dark undereye area... I wore tomboyish clothes. I never thought it was strange, but nowadays girls that age, around 12-13 dress, and behave way too mature. I think they might miss out a lot.
Love this color scheme! The lip color brings it all together. I think I'm going to say that for every. single. video. Anyway, the Venice style was actually pretty cool, in my opinion.
In the picture when you are out in the snow. In my opinion that is when you look the most like your twin. Thanks for sharing, especially the message about not growing up too fast.
I truly don't understand people. What the heck is wrong with her hijab? I don't see the problem here... She looks amazing AND she's wearing it the right way so just keep your Uneducated comments to yourself.
As a child I saw Islam as a repressive religion that was horrible to women as I grew up I realize is not like that but I also realize that that stereotype is based on the people that judge other people that also believe in Islam by their looks.Calling someone a slut just because a little bit of her hair is showing yet the Quaran(sorry if I spell it wrong) says don't judge your brothers and sister for their faith because only God can judge their decisions(I read it a long time ago so don't get mad if it's not 100% accurate). This is the thing media uses to portray Islam like a repressive religion towards women,the comments judging other women that believe in Islam the "true believers of Islam" say,so sad these people are making all Muslim seen like that. Ps.English is not my first language so I may have some mistakes don't be rude,I'm trying
This actually makes me feel better about myself lol. I'm 16 and seeing other people my age look so pretty and look hot and look waaaayyy older than 16.. Just makes me feel bad but now I know I'm not alone. Do a video on this topic?
SO harsh and criticising of yourself!! You are beautiful and radiant. I loved all the photos where you are smiling. :) you should do this every 10/20 years just to see the changes....
Lol you were so cute! Everybody went/is going thru that "ugly/embarrassing" stage. I for sure have. And when I'm 30, I'll probably look back at the photos I take now and think, "ewww I was so ugly" lol.
Aww Dina! Some of the pictures weren't that bad lovey. I used to do the same where you take bathroom pictures and think your some model from vogue 😅😂 those were the days. Aaaaahhh. At least we lived a little ;) great video.
youuuu guys seriously didn't you in Islam if you don't have something nice to say you keep quite!! And if you want to give her an advice do it privately because that's what Muslims do.
the commentary is so hilarious!!! its like chilling with friends and making fun of each others photos...only ur making fun of ur old self so funny ;) loved the video!
After reading all those comments, I feel like I need to say that you are very beautiful Dina and that the way you wear your hijab now doesn't make you any less modest. I've seen a few videos of yours and you're not wearing any tight close any more, we can't see your 'body'. So who cares if we can see a bit of your roots or your neck, or your wrist. The important thing is how you feel about yourself. You are married, in a healthy relationship with a man you didn't "date" to be a good muslim and who wanted to marry you from the beginning. I think you are very respectworthy, very beautiful and giving a good image of islam. You're doing this on your own choice, on your own terms and we can see you are a happy hijabi.
Are you a muslim. No you arent PROBABLY. The hijab needs to cover ALL tje hair and you cant show the neck either. Its not like oh ot doesn't matter iys only a little bit. This is not a hijab. A hijab is for modesty and inner beauty this doesn't show modesty. Anyways ots her choice and you're free tp write whatever im just telling you the right thing.
sorry, there are rules to wear hijab properly. And you CAN'T ignore them. It's mandatory to cover the whole hair, neck and chest. Even a strand of hair is a sin if you let it shows. Yes i can know which cause sin which isn't because we have a 'guidebook'. it's pretty sad she's moving backwards... she wears hijab correctly then... but now...
I love dina because she cares about her subscribers I mean she does like 16 + minutes videos but like young youtubers do like 3 minutes videos and it's annoying
Yesterday i saw you on tv! (German) It was about youtube and they showed you. Just for a second but i was so happy! :D i was like "omg there was dina!*-*" :D And awesome video! I love you
I'm 15 years old and i look like shit. :D sometimes i care and sometimes i don't. And my hijab is so on point. *sarcasm* But i try to accept it. InshaAllah one day i will be as beautiful as you. ^^
This made me laugh so hard. I'm 34 now and when I look back on how I used to think and act as a teen I cringe sooo hard. My friend and 8 used to pose and take pictures of each other and thing we were straight outta vogue haha
This was so refreshing to watch. You are so right about 17 year olds being very sexy now a days. I'm almost 18 and I feel like I'm 12 when it comes to clothes and makeup...I hope I blossom into it as gracefully as you seem to have done :)
Solidsilenceful a woman commented the comment, hence the name 'zahra' and it's actually bad to judge In Islam so please don't say that it sounds ignorant of you.
I thought alot of the editorial photos were brilliant! My fave had to be the "Dina Tokio inspired by Chanel". And there was a Muslimah fashion designer who used a big turban style also. I forget her name.But I really liked the hijab style you started wearing whilst visiting Venice. InShaAllaah young women will take a page from your book and love themselves more.As a teenager you were confident and secure in yourself.You was "feelin yo-self".You had your own style and you wore it well. And that's a good thing.Thanks for the trip down your memory lane. P.S. Those straight brows you sportin in some of the pics are back.I call'em the Queen Amadala(Star Wars) brow.And they're making a comeback.
LOL I love how she says, " I thought it could have gone in bloody vogue." like that's unrealistic. I have actually seen pics like that in magazines. Beauty standards are really not the same everywhere and I just looooooovved some of these pics, honey. Your beauty is so versatile and that creativity is so much better than any vogue beauty standard.
You went from wearing the hijab the right way to this though haha I myself am guilty of wearing my hijab a terrible way, it made my cheeks even chubbier and it actually made me look ugly. Since a few months I changed my hijab style and it looks so much better now haha BUT i kept it looking like a hijab that means my chest is not visible neither my hair or neck.
Watching this makes me realise how fast I am growing, living in this society today as a teenager all u want is to look better then the other and compete one another. I to be honest am quite sad that social media has taken over our life's, if we wouldn't have social media I would probably not be the way I am today 😔😖😒
Such fun to watch! It's great to see how much your sense of style has evolved. You're a beautiful person Dina...because you don't take yourself serious. I'm the same way! If you saw my throwback photos..they would make you chucke too!
I love that you did this it's completely adorable. I must say though, I have found none of your pictures embarrassing. My pictures on the other hand, GOOD LORD lol love you Dina!
Muslims get such a bad rep due to some of the people in these comments. You can not judge or tell someone how they should express their faith. In the end Allah is deciding and will see our true intentions, not you or anyone else
This was so funny! I don`t think you should be embarrassed because at least you went through the "Phase" that we all go through if we`re older. Anyways I really adore your style and wish I could be like you
What do you mean by picking any matching foundation and just putting it on? Isn't that what we're supposed to do cz that's what I do lol and I'm 26. Still don't have a clue how to wear eyeshadow 😐
