Wallah I do not know why sisters were offended because you never used
‘Muslim models’ what a corrupt mentality. Love your stuff and pray Allah
gives you more success 🙂

I liked the video as soon as you answered the second question!! Very Well
answered my sister, I agree people complain when they find a Muslim company
selling something not completely directed to one group yet they’ll shop in
H&M, Zara, River Island etc when they don’t use hijabi models..
RainbowSmile March 10, 2015 @

I honestly think it would’ve been great if you used a wide range of models!
Hijabis, non Hijabis, black/white – wide range so you’re catering for large
audiences. I definitely think you should have used hijabi models too
because us Hijabis aren’t represented in fashion enough and there aren’t
enough hijabi models in the industry and also it may change perspectives of
Muslim women for people who may not be used to seeing Muslim women in
fashion. 🙂 love the collection though so you should be really proud!

If your first ever collection is this good, I can only imagine how good
your next will be. And I totally agree with you about Muslim fashion on
insta and whatnot- everything is the same. I appreciate your unique designs
and creativity !

It’s nice of you to answer some of the publics questions dina, alot of
business people wouldn’t even bother. Can I ask please, do you use fair
trade, ethical work practices? Or rather is that happening at the beginning
of the process with the people who make your scarves, receiving good wages,
working conditions etc? Because if that’s the case then I can appreciate
your mark up.

I would never ever pay £38 for a scarf. That’s mad!

I basically agreed with the whole video. I would honestly buy a piece from
your website because of the originality and the modesty of it. Obviously
when I get a job though! And if you did stock up bigger sizes. But, I’m so
happy to see someone who thinks of a broad target audience. What I like is
that you’re not a crowd follower. I support small businesses but, I must
say I am bored of online websites selling products that are everywhere and
can be found in East London market and changing the name to something fancy
like ‘the midnight mist bag’ __

Your skin is glowing, makeup is gorgeous and love, love, lovvveee he nose
loop!!! I tried it recently but it was painfulllll to take off and on and
made me bleed…. Any tips?

I agree with there not being much originality anymore. One sister who has
original and beautiful pieces that I highly recommend a look-into is Sister
+Zaaynab Le’Von 🙂 She not only has gorgeous pieces she also makes oils and
more mashaAllah.

Is your hair supposed to show at the front of the hijab?
HSN Comedy March 10, 2015 @

Not sure if its just me but kind of dissapointed how it seems to me like
she feels she ‘has’ to answer to people like its her clothing line & she
can price whatever she wants & model whoever she wants etc… Being a guy
lol even i would only buy things that are of good quality just felt like
she had to answer to everyone, when she doesnt plus to keep something going
you have to make something like she said but i get her how shes like
‘people just think your rich cause you have a business’ but yeah InshAllah
your clothing line goes well Dina goodluck

Completely agree with the non-hijabi model comments you made, it’s the
smartest move, why would you box yourself in just so you can make naysayers
happy. Naysayers aren’t paying your bills. These people would not say the
same thing to either Elie saab or Zuhair Murad both arabs although not
muslim (i think) make some beautiful modest dresses and have a broad
audience.
uhhhlysamonet March 10, 2015 @

The comment section of this video (and every other video) is filled with a
bunch of JUDGMENTAL and awful people. Most of them Muslim. Highly doubt
you’re being a great representation of Islam. I’m not Muslim but reading
through the horrible comments would seriously turn me away from the
religion if I was interested in converting. Not good guys, not good.
KIM MY March 10, 2015 @

I understand that you wanted to have ur clothing line open to all people
and not only hijabis, but i feel like maybe you should have used one hijabi
model? Because in the same way, we could say you arent targeting us by not
having a hijabi model… Idk that’s just how i feel. And the h & m example
isnt really relevant bc the owner probably isnt muslim… I mean idk… to
each their own i guess. I still love you though! Its just my opinion 🙂
much love!

+A list God no. As women, our hair is part of our beauty. So, we were
mandated by God(Allah) to cover it. We are only supposed to show our beauty
to our immediate family, men we cannot marry such as granddad, uncles, etc,
and other females. However, if we are engaged to a man, I do believe we can
show her our hair at least once. She is not supposed to have her hair out
like that in the front. For example, what would be the point in wearing
underwear and pants, if you are going to have a whole where your private
areas are showing?
iman ali March 10, 2015 @

I’m grateful to Dina for how much she has inspired me as well as other
hijabis. Sisters, we don’t have many Muslim women in the internet or
fashion world. Instead of scrutinizing and criticizing the few that we have
over silly things (piercing, little hair showing, types of models), we
should be supportive and motivating. That’s the Islamic way! If you want to
give her advice or anything, send her a message in a private and loving
way. Otherwise, leave it alone.

A good business person will expose her product/ brand to a global market
not just one market. Why would she limit herself? Being that she’s putting
up the capital or getting investors she has the right to advertise her
vision however she best thinks will make her brand successful. She’s
selling the scarf. It’s up to the consumer how they want to wear it.
Congratulations Dina and much success to you.

Guaranteed 100 comments about her hair and how haraam she is.
Pretty sure you’re all not perfect, and you all sin on a daily basis. Maybe
you should be busy trying to fix your own sins and focus on your own life
and quit acting like you’re in the 1950s judging someone for showing their
hair.
Dina could be a better Muslim than half of you for all you know, and you’re
just sinning more by harshly judging her in public.
Honestly on EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HER VIDEOS there are a bunch of whingers
complaining about her hair. IT’S HER FACE, LEAVE HER ALONE. She can cover
or not cover as much of her hair as she wants and you all need to just shut
your mouths about it.
Loveroon March 11, 2015 @

You’re such an inspiration, and your collection is FABULOUS! I’m hoping to
collect enough pocket money to get some stuff from your collection… I
totally understand the price issue and everything you said is totally
understandable and I totally agree… and this video was actually so
helpful for my business studies :)
you heard March 11, 2015 @

Dina I hope you know that if you did use a Muslim model, people would’ve
then commented ‘OMGOD so not modest a Muslim model’ .. So moral of the
story …. Who gives a fuck, do whatever you’re gonna do because someone’s
is always gonna have some criticism for you ☺️

This kinda made me realise how impossible it is for a hijabi like me to do
anything, especially make cloths
