I am a Muslim woman of hispanic descent born in NYC. I am very happy to wear my hijab. No one has ever oppressed me or made me wear the hijab against my will. God willing (insha Allah) will wear it till the day i die. I am a blessed and happy muslim woman 🙏

"Not how the world perceive them but how they perceive themselves." Subhanallah so deep. Jazakallah khair.

We are veiled, protected and empowered. Alhamdullillah for being covered.

Wore niqab for the first time, came out for walk, searched Yaqeen and this video pops up! All I needed for the motivation. How Allah makes you see things at the perfect time Subhan Allah🥺💕

JazakAllah Khair dear sister and all the yaqeen team :) that's something worth sharing. I already did 😊 May Allah guide us and our loved ones to the beautiful path of Islam 🤲

I was literally thinking about this today as many ask why we do and you came to answer so eloquently😊. The last sentence is so powerful "...how they can alter perception in the world"👏🏿

Thank you for this! Happy world hijab day everyone 🥰

Thank you very much! Even though I, in my heart, know why I am wearing it, it can be hard to express to people, especially who are already looking at it from a judgmental standpoint. You put it in such an eloquent way!

your prespective and what you said has really empowered me to want to take that step towards the hijab. Jazakallah khair for your video may Allah protect you and your family and bring peace and blessings to you.

Jazakallahu khairan for taking the time to make this concise yet comprehensive video about the hijab. I will be sending this forward when necessary inshaAllah

Mashallah less than 4 minutes packed with benefits and useful information!

I am not muslim but i am LDS, we are christians. Many people mock our modesty. They mock our garments. While muslim and LDS may not share exact values. My friend is muslim and whenever we discussed our religious beliefs. Many concepts are similar and we could relate. Shes a lebanese muslim. She doesnt wear a hijab but her mother does. I appreciate the hijab the way i would want other faiths to appreciate garments. We dont show our faith outwardly besides simple modest clothing. Thank you for sharing your beliefs. I enjoy learning about the hijab.

Indeed,a beautiful piece of information. May Allah(swt) bless and protect every muslim sister out there. Keep wearing hijab proudly.

Indeed maa shaa Allah "virtues of our focus on the Islamic VALUES" "not on how the word identify US but on how we can alter identification in the world". I LOVE this

MashaAllah.... you've put this out so beautifully. May Allah SWT bless you.

As a non muslim the hijab has never bothered me. I went to high school with a girl who was muslim I really liked her as a person, she never wronged me. I've had muslim acquaintances and really I treat them like they should be as human beings just like anyone else.

Jazakallah khair ❤️ Can you please say some specifications about muslims listening to music or watching movies etc etc it'll be really very helpful .... I'll pass on the video to the people who i know is in need to know !

Very honor to hear your speech dr. Jazakillahu khairan

Perfectly explained Alhamdulillah 🤲☝️🤍

Thanks you Dr for this🙏🙏🙏 Happy world hijab day to all hijabi's🙏🙏🙏

This explains it so perfectly alhamdulilah ❤

Masha Allah. Sister Jazaka khayr May Allah Increases knowledge...

Salaam, Peace Be Upon You Sister And Also Allah's Mercy. All Praise Is Due To Allah, All Praise Is Due To Allah. What A Powerful Message And A Great Video. May God Almighty, Allah Most Merciful. The Most Honorable Al - Kareem, The Source Of All Dignity. Continue To Reward You With Good In This Lifetime And In The Hereafter Amin.

The thing is there are different people with different personalities. Many Muslim woman would like hijab and many would dislike hijab. It is just that both such woman deserve to be respected without judgment. If you are a Muslim and think woman without hijab are any less human then you are the problem.

Protect her it all costs.

May Allah bless you for clarifying this misunderstood issue Ameen

So beautifully explained Shukran

Beautifully said.

Thank u for opening my eyes in a wonderful yet smog filled western world. Sometimes life can be so oppressive and too choking. More love and understanding is what we need THANK YOU 😊

Brilliant video. Simple, clear and conclusive.

wow.... thank you SO MUCH for this short but sooo valueable video! I wish I had the strength to wear hijab... I do pray, I do fast and I try my best to be a good muslima, but wearing hijab is something I wish I would find the strength to do but am to weak to put in action...

Thank you for your input. INSHA- ALLAH with more education and awareness people will overcome their fear of Hijab. Every day is a woman day if we worthy ourselves.

Mashallah beautifully explained.... Jazakallah khair sis.. May Allah rewards you in this world and the hereafter ...✨💫

Short and sweet beautifully explained 💕💕💕

I am non hijabi and a Christian but respect you attire. 💗💗💗

This was beyond beautiful. Thank you.

Beautiful answer.

Am amuslim woman who just started practicing and my deen has not only liberated me but i feel empowered in my Rabb

MaShaAllah... Well explained

We muslim women decide for ourselves if we want to wear the hijab or not, we dont want anyone else to speak for us. If you ever see one of us wearing a hijab or not wearing a hijab, do not judge, and concentrate on your own problems

I wear hijab and I love it it’s my crown

How beautiful our religion is 💞,, Subhanallah

Jazaakallahu khairun

Mashallah Barkah Allah fekee… beautifully said and very educational… Thank You!

I believe if I was Muslim woman I would were the hijab and dress modestly and I don't see the hijab as a symbol of oppression and it is a choice Muslim women make.

Yaqeen institue is awesome

Beautiful explanation!

Subhanallah ... Question to feminist aunties if islam is opressing Muslim...why western women are reverting to islam

Masha allah❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Ma shaa Allah .Nice jazaki Allah khair.

Could somebody answer this for me- why has Allah commanded Muslim women to wear the headscarf? Is it to cover ourselves in front of men, or for us to be seen and differentiated as Muslims, or something else?

this video is everything!

Thank you

جزاك الله خيرا وبارك فيك

Love this brief video so so so much ❤️

Thank you Dr. Tesneem, Mashallah for the wonderful reminder and lesson. May Allah reward you and your family for benefiting the Muslim Ummah. I wonder if I respectfully can ask to be our guest speaker to speak for a half an hour or so to our Muslim community members mostly mothers this coming Sunday on Zoom? We are a group of sisters, from Toronto, Canada who organize a biweekly zoom session for our Muslim Audience between 30 to 40 individuals talk about any beneficent topic. It is an informal gathering where people participate and ask questions. I have been listening to your series on you-tube for a while and Mash-Allah there is a lot we can learn from you. Insha-Allah, let me if this is possible. Jazkallah sister.

Beautiful!!

Thanks thats a greatly explained

I didn't noticed begining at the video end suddenly see caption omg she is Dr

Mashallah sister....much much needed...must preach this too our old relatives who thinks that "making women get her education is merely a waste of time and they are anyhow meant to rot in kitchen" Some people are frozen in time. They need to wake up and come to reality !

I used to not know what they meant, I liked hearing what you had to say. I am more curious now to try one on, but no one around me wears them. Any advice on how to start?

اللهم صل وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين وسلم تسليما كثيرا إلى يوم الدين

I am Muslim and I love hijab .. i feel more comfortable with hijab on

جزاكى الله خيرا

Love being Muslim

I am in the process of converting to Muslim/Islam. Alhamdoulilah. I keep going back and forth on wearing the hijab. Part of me wants to wear it but part of me doesn't. I think what is causing this is because I grew up in a Christian Family and wasn't brought up with it. Also I think it is because I don't know much about wearing hijab. I am just unsure of what to do.

Hijab It’s beauty

Make an interview of Taslima Nasreen about hijab she describes it very well

Very informed commentariat on this channel! I thought people were going to call the hijab politically incorrect!

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah wa Barakatuhu. My dear sis show good example by wearing the proper hijab. Be proud of your religion

Assalaamuailaikum,for everyone(muslim in the world

I love how you hone in on education that’s my seeing oppression that woman in certain places due to extremism which is just as alive in Christianity in different ways is the oppression the hajib isn’t the oppression it’s a mindful choice and I’m a Christian white woman but that bodily autonomy which I truly believe in and everything I’ve ever read about Aisha tells me everything I need to know about Mohamed I respect the faith that says you aren’t supposed to read it unless I’m Arabic so I’ve never read the Quran sry if I miss spelled that but she was a badass she was the woman who helped guide other woman sorry but of a rant ish I just really appreciated learning through this video off to watch more to learn thank you and blessings!!!

masha'Allah mezyan! well said sister.. barak'Allah feek

It is more important to take care of the heart. How your heart is dressed rather than your outward dress

You are a very intelligent lady hijjab over the head yes but over the face no in Islam it does not mention to cover the face

Subahan Allah

The question of the hijab , will a hijab stop a woman from cheating ... Again, will a hijab stop a women from cheating .....No.....The hijab is for women who understand the sexuality of men and the respect of the fathers ,brothers ,and sons .....Only a real muslim will use her hijab. For the right reasons not for fashion

As a woman I want a society educated in respect, if I show my body nobody should sexualised it without my permission and agreement. We should focus on in fighting the sick minds of those who sexualise without boundaries: like sexualising any woman for the way she choose to dress, children if they are not under surveillance, or even men if they look attractive…Educating, educating, educating and not hiding…

This is so inspiring! Muslims need to raise their daughters with this mentality rather than the "wear Hijab or you'll go to hell" mindset.

I’m a Christian and I must say I love the Hijab and I’m willing to wear one and hopefully it’s not offensive to Muslims

Well said.

Nice talking 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥳🥳🥳🥳

💗

MashaAllah

Agreed. Thanks for the information. Can you please give a link to the cited Gallup census of 2008 among the 50.000 women. I find that very helpful for discussion in the ongoing to heated debates, we do also have here in Germany. Thanks in advance. Hamza
