Mashallah, may God grant you success in your university life. The most important thing is your prayers, and your creativity in telling your life story. Saying goodbye is always difficult, but God bless you wherever you go. Be creative in video design. Your brother is from Riyadh.

I'm 19 and just moved to the UAE for school. I've lived in America my whole life and that feeling just before saying goodbye is like nothing else. May Allah make this journey easy for you and make every hardship a means for you to enter Jannah.

Best wishes, Obaid. When I was 15 years old, I left my home and my family. I am now 26 years old. I am originally from Yemen, but I have lived in Egypt and now in the UK. I have a similar story to yours. I have a lot of memories from Asia, Africa, and Europe. This video made me long for the past

It’s a huge step indeed. May Allah bless you and guide you through your journey. Keep us updated!
Bro everything aside but your editing always takes my breath away its so good!
I’m 40 and still don’t feel like an adult. It will come, life will shape you as person and I pray Allah keeps you safe. It’s nice to see from a young man with such great memories of living in Saudi. I pray my kids will feel positive too.
I feel like I'm in another world every time I watch one of your films. Keep going.
The amazing video that many people have been waiting for. I love the narration and editing in your videos. I'm sure your channel will be the best👍🏻
I started a new chapter of my life few months ago, so this video seemed too relatable to what I’m going through. You’re brilliant at capturing moments and emotions and I appreciate it. all what we can do is do our best and pray and hope for the best 🤲🏻♥️
Boy! Your little made me cry. The relationship guys have is amazing and seeing him cry is sad and beautiful at the same time.
The ending made me tear up 😭 I miss my sisters sm 😭😭
I'm glad that you had a good experince and were happy to live in ksa, good luck and may Allah bless you
Obayd, I can't lie this video made me shread a tear I will really miss you in saudi, May Allah make you sucsessful in university.
Beautiful video ma shaa Allah. May Allah bless you in everything that you do and make you one of the callers to His path
I feel u, cz it's my 1st year in univ n I left my family.. Sooo... It's a new adventure!
Amazing video mate
Good luck on your new journey young man. May Allah swt continue to guide you on the right path and bless you with an abundance of success.
Hey Obayd, I’m 24 & I’ve been subscribed to the channel for a long while now & whilst I’m not that much older than you, it sort of feels like I’ve seen a little bit of you grow up in a way. I can tell you have a really good head on your shoulders, you care about your Deen, & family. You’re going to learn a lot of things at your pivotal age, so just be ready for the change. I can tell you put a lot of time & effort into this vlog, I know you will be successful InshaAllah.
Insha Allah everything is going to be alright! Just be positive and smart in your decisions
Obaid enjoy your new life and keep your prayings. May Allah bless you . Grom Mecca, KSA
I understand what you mean; I've experienced a similar journey. I was born in India, spent a good amount of time in Saudi Arabia, and eventually moved to the UK. I often find myself reminiscing about the night trips to Mecca and Medina, the vibrant shopping malls, the festivities of Saudi National Day, the enriching Janadriyah Cultural Festival, the scenic Jeddah corniches, and the serene Dammam beaches....and ofcourse Arabian Oud perfimes!
بالتوفيق أخي عبيد أتمنى لانفتقد مقاطعك وتروح وترجع بالسلامه🇸🇦
Good luck in your next chapter of life, wish you the best
May Allah grant you success in your next journey bro Obayd
this feels like the best coming of age movie ever, and i love it
This was such a beautiful video Obayd, definitely your best one so far. You spoke so sincerely and eloquently about the joys of your childhood and the fear and excitement of early adult life. The part where you talked about growing up and becoming the nineteen-year-old that you looked up to as a child made me tear up. It also broke my heart to see Eesa crying when you said goodbye. I moved abroad about a year ago and it was extremely difficult at the beginning. I was crying everyday because I was so homesick and I missed my family so much. But it gets better, trust me. You will meet new friends and live new and enriching experiences. And, as you said, your family and friends from Jeddah are not going anywhere and you will always be able to visit them during Christmas break. I wish you the best of luck in this exciting new chapter of your life! Sending lots of love from Rome, Italy ❤❤❤

bro I don't know how you nailed it with this movie without using any haram things like music. It's the best video I've ever watched in a while; it goes deep in my heart. God bless you ❤
Wow Obayd, the editingand preparation of the video is amazing 😍, and you have succeeded in describing these feelings in this transitional stage حَفِظكم الله و رَعاكم و سدد خُطاكم ♡ Waiting for many more of these beautiful videos🥰
I am so surprised to see you all grown up mashaAllah! I remembered seeing your video ages ago and you looked so young. All the best, little brother.
All the best, young man! Enjoy Uni life🌷
This video is full of emotions and as a sophomore I'm experiencing my second year here alone or better independently. I would like to say it's a new book for u where u have plenty of pages to fill .plethora of challenges are waiting and a new version of you gonna be born you gonna discover a lot of things and be more independent with your thoughts, actions you gonna feel free to act but also stressed out of fear to make mistakes but eventually you gonna learn and flourish. Good luck with your new stage of life ✨💜
You are real man now , make your dad proud of your achievements rn … بالتوفيق صديقي عُبيد اتمنى لك مسيره مليئة بالانجاحات ❤️
Walaikum As'salam... May Allah blesses your new journey.
Your shot and your storytelling abilities is brilliant!!! Happy to follow you from Italy and from my old-age (compared to you). Big hug and I wish all the best !
Salam! All the best with this new chapter of your life and welcome to university life. Always be thankful to Allah, never leave a salah and do your best. May Allah bless you in this new journey.
This is the best video ever, it made my tears stream down. I don't know what to say, may Allah always take care of you and please don't ever forget to pray 'cos praying will give you strength clear mind and guidance. Bless you Obayd.
Good luck and hope to see you in Saudi soon
The editing is so amazing 🤩
Such an overwhelming feelings in there The fact that I'm 19 and gonna leave my family for college Lived in Saudi 10 years and now im leaving Can't be more related ! Not to mention how beautifully edited this vod Thanks for sharing I hope u all the best
I understand you, I lived in Turkey for 3 years and I had everything there, and three months ago I moved from there to another country where I don’t know anyone, and even half a year ago or three months ago I didn’t expect that I would live here and everything is starting over and sometimes I miss my old life but I understand that something big is waiting for me
This is such a beautiful video!
I think this is the BEST video you ever made. I really like the way you express your thoughts and feelings, so genuine and make others can relate too. All the best for the new chapter in your life. May Allah guide you.
love the part at 0:39, so cool!! i also moved out for uni this year (ucl!!), and i was honestly so nervous and scared about moving into halls, but also excited! thankfully i made friends with my flatmates and everything is going well alhamdulilah - i feel like the key thing is to be proactive and involve yourself in societies and events (there's usually lots of events that are alcohol-free), and definitely join the ISOC at your uni! hope it all goes well for you insha'Allah x

I genuinely cried with Esa, because I can really relate to him! The beginning is difficult, but keeping yourself busy and keeping in touch with your family will help in shaa Allah! And of course as you said, depending on Allah and then on yourself🌻
that video made me wanna cry i feel like it's really true anyway good luck in your new life and i really enjoy this video and thank u btw the editing is perfect
what a great editing you do mashallah!. I hope you have more and more good experiences in life and become the person you want to be one day. have a great life Obayd!.
One thing I've learned about moving is that if you move away from your home country once, you will move throughout your whole life. However, even though the home country feels like home, it is nothing without the parents there. -Now with the help of Allah, have no fear even though many-many things and situations are scary at first but then it's nothing. -Istighfar will get you very-very far and remember to call your parents everyday because their love for their children is incomprehensible unless you have children yourself. May Allah grant you and your family the very best in this world and in the hereafter, ameen. -Indeed Allah is the Greatest.
This makes me excited to turn 19, which is 3 years away from me. I feel that it is a long time, but compared to the years I lived, it is only a short period. The video motivated me to go to university, take responsibility, drive a car, build my future, and get closer to God more . Thank you for this video 🤍
good luck with your new journey✨
I’m astonished on how amazing is your editing skills ✨
Salaam Obayd, thank you for sharing such joyous videos ... your emotional farewell with Issa moved me to tears too! Praying الله سبحانه وتعالى continues to bless, protect, guide and inspire you throughout your educational journey ... I feel sure that your enlightened upbringing has beautifully equipped you to face the challenges of university life, إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ ... Looking forward to following your journey! ❤
I also left my country at 18. 13 years later, what i can tell you: make friends and do good deeds, not for expecting rewards from others but from the creator and always be firm to your principles and know with comfort that Allah is monitoring you :)
Beautifully said. Congratulation! May Allah always protect and guide you in your next journey ✨️
Good luck brother
This is actually emotional 😭
Initially, I knew that the video would be touching, but I did not expect to cry from the very first word you said until after the video ended. I don’t know what to say, but you have proven that you are the best photographer and the best young content creator I've ever seen. I just, for the first time, do not regret it when I pressed the subscribe button for your channel. I hope You can enjoy this period of your youth, always have faith in Allah, and return home one day safe and sound 🖤.
Best wishes. Enjoy your studies & take care. May Allah ease your journey
Your editing skills Allahumma barik 🔥💯
A VERY HEART FELT MSG FOR YOU: Good luck Obayd may Allah succeed you brother always remember that wherever you are Allah is always there with you whom we need the most and then secondly our family but you know you are sacrificing your will a bit by leaving them for a bit of time but Inshallah this azmaish gonna make the life successful for you ❤lots of prayers....keep protecting your Imaan,never every miss the Salah....be intact with the family online and also with us through social media platforms....your subscriber from Pakistan

what a cool video.... thanks for sharing and best of luck in this new and exciting stage in your life. I still remember when I left home for university... wasn't easy and cried a lot when saying goodbye to my mom. But, it's part of life and you will learn to accept it.
Editing your video as if it were a movie. I really like the sequence of shots. They are special and the video is very touching because I am living in the same stage of transition to university life.
Moga maju jaya. Teruskan perjuangan kalian. 🇲🇾 ALLAHUMMA SHOLLI ALA SAIYIDINA MUHAMMAD❤
This video can be considered to be the cinematic summary of your life Obayd and I think you are taking the biggest ,and hopefully the best, step to write your own story which InshaAllah you won't forget to share with us! I wish you all the best!
Well-done man, you're now grown up and very strong. Venture out May the Almighty Allah Bless Your Endeavors.
I might just end up going off on a tangent in this comment, but seriously, I really cried watching this, it was the bit near the end with Eesa and just couldn't hold back the tears :( growing up really is a crazy emotional rollercoaster ride, and especially when you are a new adult but still a teenager, its a bit confusing because you're not considered fully mature but you can't be that same child anymore either. You're an adult but still a child. You have to go out and be in the real world, but you still feel like a child on the inside, maybe laughing with your siblings or wishing you could innocently skip homework to play football for a bit longer, sometimes just in need of a hug and motherly reassurance. Growing up is scary. It's when things become so real to you for the first time, and suddenly there come a ton of responsibilities as well, but that's where you just have to realise that its part of the learning process, we make mistakes and we grow. Hold your head high, always have full tawakkul in Allah that things will be okay, and keep working hard, don't be too harsh on yourself to try to act 'older', just go with the flow because wallah it will all pay off in the end, you just have to believe. InshaAllah things go well for you Obayd ;)
Oh Obayd! Such a beautiful video. I thought I was holding it together but then seeing Eesa cry made me cry too! I still remember the day in May 2021 when I discovered you (it was your "I Got Into Mecca" video). And although it is only 2.5 years ago, I feel like I've watched you grow up, from little boy to young man, as if you were my own brother. So I'm so happy for you! It is indeed sad and a bit scary, but also so exciting. You have your faith and family to support you wherever you are, not to mention all of us fans. Enjoy this next chapter and please keep us all updated as you experience this big, beautiful world... :)
