I was wondering if you guys we married and if so howdid you meet your husband and im having trouble since i converted today but i have been practicing islam was it hard to just stop dating in one whole day and can you give out tips please
Hello sisters!I have a problem and I would be happy if you could help me.Im not a muslim,im 17 my fiance is 24 and he is a muslim,he lives in egypt ,I live in sweden.Now to the problem.I'm In college and I'm not comfartable with the "normal" european life.I don't wanna hug my male friends..I don't wanna go out with my friends to restaurants.And my best friend(girl) who i have known for 10 years is angry at me,saying that i isolate myself,and that he is forecing me.Plz help me.what should i do?..
Salaam sisters! Lovely video! Just want to contribute to the discussion by sharing my personal approach : If a man that I meet for the first time goes to shake my hand, I usually oblige. If it's a man that I know I'll be seeing regularly (i.e fellow student or co-worker) THEN I will try and explain why I refrain from general physical contact. If it's one guy that I know I'll never see again, I usually don't bother because a handshake is something most people consider as simple etiquette.
You girls are so lovely! masha'Allah, giving me courage to explain this if it ever happens to me. I haven't yet come across an opportunity where I've actually had to engage in a dialogue about why I don't shake hands, but feeling a little more confident now. Alhamdulillah. :) JazakAllah khairan.
Becca That is great line you use... I have just told men " NO TOUCHING" from now on I will be kind and use your line. What about doctors I am in kidney failure and majority doctors are men.
so very true I found it hard when I changed jobs so I had to say that no touchy please as you can see I am Muslim (wearing the hijab) and women do not touch men we are not married to or related too than i was asked a lot of Questions about Islam
Mash'Allah this was very insightful i just have one question. What should a Muslim women do if they are under the position of a nurse or other care provider? Please let me know if you have any suggestion after all two minds are greater than one. JazakAllah Kair
Just a small tip if I may...An aunt of mine whose husband worked in the US for a while in diplomacy found a very simple way of avoiding the handshake....Some radical muslims might say that it is wrong to do this (thinking that it has a hindu praying conotation when it actually doesn't), but i thought it was very clever...she just made the 'namaste' sign that Indian ladies use to greet.1)no physical contact...2) people loved the exotic touch 3) It never created an awkward moment...
I need to thank you gurls for this vid...As a born muslim girl in a strong muslim household, I was totally abiding by the not touching men part of Purdah....until I went to college..where I still wore my scarf and behaved in a most muslim-like fashion....except that I got sucked in the hug culture...which is very South African indeed...At first, it was just so I would not hurt a friend's feeling, then it was the excuse that it's the local culture..it was still wrong though...so thank you..:)
I'm not muslim but I'm trying to adopt a more muslim outlook on modesty. Right now I'm managing well with clothing as its cold weather anyway but emotional and behavioural modesty is a lot more difficult as I'm used to hugging and flirting and rude jokes etc
Asalamu Alaikum! I am an ambassador at my university and regularly meet men that extend their hand out. Before (BAD IDEA), I would just ignore the hand until it awkwardly went away. I just would freeze, I don't why. Now if a co-worker or a male on a campus tour extends their hand, I just say, "I'm sorry I don't shake hands." How would you handle explaining it to someone you're going to know for an hour with a balance of not going through this long explanation, but still not offending them?
@sabreen45 Walaikum Asalaam... I don't go into a big spiel... I just say I don't shake hands with men... that usually is enough... and if they want to know more... then great opportunity for Dawah.
Can I just say how awesome you two are? MashAllah! I look forward to all your videos and love the beneficial advice you guys give. May Allah SWT bless and preserve you both! Amin :o)
I love you girls, masha'Allah.. May Allah swt bless you two, ameen. Can you both sisters talk a little about yourselves in the next video in sha Allah? What I mean by talking about yourselves as in what you two do, how old you guys are? Also advice on marriage & how to look for the perfect spouse in sha Allah. Also how did you meet your hubby and is sister Rebecca married? Do you girls have children? Plan to have child? And good advice on bring up children in an Islamic way please, in sha Allah.
@clothiersports If it is by accident then I am sure its fine. But if you touch a woman who doesn't want to be touched on purpose... that is a different matter. Even though I miss hugging and highfiving (spell check wanted to make that highlander. lol there can only be one) My modesty is now more important than that. Although I air highfive people all the time! SO AIR HIGH FIVE TO YOU SIR!
@iloveelhassan I suppose my question is more geared toward you being touched. Does it violate your covenant? Would you be shamed, I guess is my question, or would other muslims understand?
@clothiersports Not shamed... but it would be a violation of what I have set out for myself. Each Muslim is different, but for me it would be a violation.
so that people were not shocked when the saw me and it worked. maybe ill put my status as hey by the way im no longer shaking hands or touching the opposite gender so when u see me a warm gentle wave hello would be wonderful =] what do you think lol. by the way mashallah u girls are beautiful and pray Allah rewards you for all the thing you have been doing. ill keep u in my duas =] assalam alaikum
i have to start by saying that i love you sisters so much and always watch your vids, ill start to comment more oftern inshallah =] im happy you did this topic because i have decided a couple days ago to stop the touching lol. mind you its so new to me because im a jumpy person always huggy and stuff with both genders. it so awkward at first to tell someone u bump into oh hey i cant shake ur hand anymore lol. but im working on it and i love your advice. i did this for hijab : i posted on fb
Even my hubby thinks I'm too extreme.We got married b4 I accepted Islam.I'm waiting 4 him 2 come around,In Sha Allaah.He has problems accepting why Muslims encourage the separation of the genders.
Great vid.I too do not touch the hands of non-mahram men.And in my situation I found it necessary to go one step further and not be alone for any reason with non-mahram.Not my landlord, repairman,childrens teachers.I always have my hubby or son with me.Where I live people like to "test" a Muslim womans resolve.
The students to whom I teach religious education are largely non-religious and generally feel like RE is a pointless subject. This is actually an example that I give them as to why a basic understanding of world religions is really important.
SubhanAllah ..this is the first time watching your videos but i really have develope a very strong love for you 2 for the sake of Allah. SubhanAllah its just amazing the changes that occurs in a person's life once thay become Muslim. May Allah bless and protect u always and guide those seeking guidance Inshallah!!!
keep it up sisters, love ur videos and be sure i'll be Inshallah following ur videos!!!
I was wondering... I get physical with patients in the hospital setting... sometimes cleaning male private parts. Touching them to put blood pressure cuffs on, bed baths, etc. I sometimes have mixed feelings about this. I feel sometimes I'm doing something wrong, but then again they are sick and I'm giving care to them, which is a good thing.. any advise regarding this? :/
@iam2gr82bu I can only give an opinion... but if your intention is to heal and help then there is nothing wrong with it. InshaAllah. I would ask an Imam or Scholar if you want an official answer. And always make du'a that Allah forgives us of our sins. :)
@iam2gr82bu if im not mistaken, when it comes to medical which is something of neccesity it doesnt apply. ive checked on many islamic websites. in the feild of being a doctor, nurse etc, if its a neccesity that u touch a patient in the opposite gender it is not a problem. also if a patient can get a doctor of the same gender then it is impermissable for them to get the doctor of the opposite gender because its not necessary. i hope that i made it clear. ive researched this and this is what i got
Assalamualikum sister Nye and Rebecca. Jazak Allahu for all these nice vieo. i always wait for your videos. make more please sisters. this is very useful video for me. because i alwways think of how to refuse handshaking in a polite manner. but i was always rude. now i get a good idea. thanks so much
Assalamu alaikum , I'm arabian & my name is Asma .. I'm really happy for you both and I like the way you talk - being amusing when talking about something useful =) So keep it Up Gurlz !
In France there's this annoying "kissing" thing that we're supposed to do on both cheeks, to females and males. It's soooo awkward when a guy approaches his face to mine and I step back lol
In return I usually suggest to high five, and joke about it but they always feel a bit frustrated... The only guy who didn't was gay and actually asked me beforehand if he could kiss me or not. I really appreciated it :)
LOVED this one! Also word of advice to graduating sisters, let your dean or administrator know you do not shake hands BEFORE you walk the stage, or you will be put in a very awkward situation!
Great video! I am not Muslim and I was just wondering, are you expected to not touch a man at all that you are in a relationship? How are you meant to keep this rule up while courting before marriage?
@cecikittycoco Yes, you're supposed to do that :) That's why you should meet kind of "formally", you discuss etc. by mail or face to face but you can't touch :) It's a great test of patience, I know... hahaha
ma'shallah, can't stress how great and important those videos are, and did i forget to say SO MUCH FUN :)
may Allah reward you, sometimes you need to have the "chill" women to women talk about issues like this rather than just be dictated the rule my a male sheikh.
i feel this is something each women needs to comprehend and work on with her pace and develop a way to deal with it, without having the "haram" factor ON but more the "modesty is beautiful" factor.
mash'alLah, my Sisters! great topic for us reverts - especially as American Muslimahs. sometimes I just forget - I'm over 50 & just reverted 4 years ago.
I love all your videos - was so excited to see a new one uploaded! I have a question though - what do you do with casual male contact that isn't intentional? I ride public transit, and often the buses are very full so I end up accidentally brushing against a male or sitting next to a male because there are no other seats available on the bus.
And also Sister Nye - what kind of hijab are you wearing in this video and how did you do the style? I really like it!
@HijabiDreams Thank you... The scarf is from Pearl-Daisy... As for accidental touching... its exactly that. Allah knows your intentions... and if it is an accident... then don't worry about it. It will happen.
@iloveelhassan great video girls i am a muslima and live in a mixed society but muslims are a big part of it and you ladies give islam a great great image way better than some born muslims i know love you alot keep up the great work
@HijabiDreams great advice by sister nye though you should know that even in accidental touching or unintentional you should preform wudu before praying because you are responsible 4 your intentions not for those you brushed against or they brushed against you hope that helped
As a non-Muslim sociology and psychology major, this is one of the Islamic things that I find very interesting. I grew up in a very Christian household (now an atheist), and some extremely conservative sects are moving in the direction of requiring young couples to not touch until after marriage (but still letting the sexes touch socially).
When are we going to get to see the second half of your video with Marwa? :)
@shadowswallow InshaAllah soon. She wants to redo her videos... so we are starting fresh. Her little girl was bopping up all over the place. So InshaAllah we can record something this week.
I love hearing from Muslimahs, and particularly you and Rebecca, since I was taught all my life that western women who converted to Islam were just tricked into it, because obviously no woman would choose such a "horrible" religion. *rolls eyes*
I became intrigued a few months ago and have loved actually learning from said horribly repressed women, who obviously haven't fallen in love with Islam and take great joy in learning about and sharing it. ;)
Wearing hijab and shaking hand are not choice but obligation in religion and pure submission to Allah's will and command. These are preventing measure, In Allah Mercy, to protect muslim women from any sexsual harrasement and also to keep them in honourable position.
As an obedient servant to Allah the best word to these command is samek na wa a taq na. (we listen and we obey)
All I can say many ar muslim but not mukmin yet. If u try to put islamic teaching into practises they give u a weird look or make u feel as if u com frm another planet. I salute those revert who trying their very best to practise islam in their daily life. May Allah guide u & bless yr life with happiness & tranquaility. You shud be proud of yourself.
I pray to Allah to make life easy for us to practise our beautiful religion anywhere & everywhere in this world which belong to HIM and HIM alone.
Bismillah. Assalammualaikum Sister, I must say love this topic very much. A person imam can be determine on how much he practises islam in his daily life. Islam is a practical religion. Just give any instances and islam has it solution. Infact the more difficult the situation is the easier the solution become.
Coming to the topic of shaking hand with ajnabi, honestly speaking it is very sad to say in my country ( not islamic country) muslim men and women shaking hand is a norm.
i really respect your decision but it's so hard for me. im 17 and a hijabi but i choose to hug my friends, because i dont feel attracted to them. its never my intention to make it more than a friendship so i dont think my modesty is compromised. so yeah. but obviously i dont hug people i have crushes on. i try not to get close to them. i wait for the crush to be over, because i respect islam. basically its a form of friendliness for me. inshallah, i plan to take baby steps. more power to you <3
Salaam, Its 1:00am in the morning in England and i was about to log out until i had seen that you uploaded a video! I was excited at the topic, okay not in that way, moving on so long story short it really helped and i enjoyed watching it. Thanks for Uploading!
@Ayeshabiscuithead Lol... man I know that feeling. I do that all the time and then spend 5 more hours jumping from video to video. ughhh and I started laughing when I read your user name... how did you come by that? lol
@iloveelhassan LOL, i dont seem to recall exactly how but i have a close relationship with my brothers, and one of them always used to call me 'biscuit head' all the time (wierd thing is i'm not much of a fan of biscuits) so while creating my YouTube account and every username of mine getting declined that just popped into my head! I feel like a such a dopey person for having it now as people seem to think im some muslim girl who licks windows and screams at old people!
JazakhAllaah for this vid, really helpful. May Allaah continue to bless u both with health and strength and reward u both for ur efforts insha'Allaah :) x

And also Sister Nye - what kind of hijab are you wearing in this video and how did you do the style? I really like it!

@HijabiDreams Thank you... The scarf is from Pearl-Daisy... As for accidental touching... its exactly that. Allah knows your intentions... and if it is an accident... then don't worry about it. It will happen.

@HijabiDreams great advice by sister nye though you should know that even in accidental touching or unintentional you should preform wudu before praying because you are responsible 4 your intentions not for those you brushed against or they brushed against you hope that helped

As a non-Muslim sociology and psychology major, this is one of the Islamic things that I find very interesting. I grew up in a very Christian household (now an atheist), and some extremely conservative sects are moving in the direction of requiring young couples to not touch until after marriage (but still letting the sexes touch socially).
When are we going to get to see the second half of your video with Marwa? :)

@shadowswallow InshaAllah soon. She wants to redo her videos... so we are starting fresh. Her little girl was bopping up all over the place. So InshaAllah we can record something this week.

@iloveelhassan Awesome! :)
I love hearing from Muslimahs, and particularly you and Rebecca, since I was taught all my life that western women who converted to Islam were just tricked into it, because obviously no woman would choose such a "horrible" religion. *rolls eyes*
I became intrigued a few months ago and have loved actually learning from said horribly repressed women, who obviously haven't fallen in love with Islam and take great joy in learning about and sharing it. ;)

Wearing hijab and shaking hand are not choice but obligation in religion and pure submission to Allah's will and command. These are preventing measure, In Allah Mercy, to protect muslim women from any sexsual harrasement and also to keep them in honourable position.
As an obedient servant to Allah the best word to these command is samek na wa a taq na. (we listen and we obey)

All I can say many ar muslim but not mukmin yet. If u try to put islamic teaching into practises they give u a weird look or make u feel as if u com frm another planet. I salute those revert who trying their very best to practise islam in their daily life. May Allah guide u & bless yr life with happiness & tranquaility. You shud be proud of yourself.
I pray to Allah to make life easy for us to practise our beautiful religion anywhere & everywhere in this world which belong to HIM and HIM alone.

Bismillah. Assalammualaikum Sister, I must say love this topic very much. A person imam can be determine on how much he practises islam in his daily life. Islam is a practical religion. Just give any instances and islam has it solution. Infact the more difficult the situation is the easier the solution become.
Coming to the topic of shaking hand with ajnabi, honestly speaking it is very sad to say in my country ( not islamic country) muslim men and women shaking hand is a norm.

i really respect your decision but it's so hard for me. im 17 and a hijabi but i choose to hug my friends, because i dont feel attracted to them. its never my intention to make it more than a friendship so i dont think my modesty is compromised. so yeah. but obviously i dont hug people i have crushes on. i try not to get close to them. i wait for the crush to be over, because i respect islam. basically its a form of friendliness for me. inshallah, i plan to take baby steps. more power to you <3

@Ayeshabiscuithead Lol... man I know that feeling. I do that all the time and then spend 5 more hours jumping from video to video. ughhh and I started laughing when I read your user name... how did you come by that? lol

@iloveelhassan LOL, i dont seem to recall exactly how but i have a close relationship with my brothers, and one of them always used to call me 'biscuit head' all the time (wierd thing is i'm not much of a fan of biscuits) so while creating my YouTube account and every username of mine getting declined that just popped into my head! I feel like a such a dopey person for having it now as people seem to think im some muslim girl who licks windows and screams at old people!
