@Wisdom of Solomon Huh?? "What part of them are considered Christian?" I don't understand the question. I am referring to modesty standards. The modeling industry has never been an industry sympathetic to a models personal standards of modesty. The only reason the ladies with hijabs have been given some kind of day is for "woke points" but doesn't surprise me that she said the hijabs kept getting smaller. Part of the job seems to be being half naked or fully naked in front of people, especially when back stage at a fashion show and having to change quickly. It would be nice if things were different but not surprised she quit.

Halimas story and strength is so inspiring and I'm proud as a hijabi that Halima stood up for herself and for other Muslimahs who deal with this consistently , especially in western nations where we can get abuse just for covering ourselves.

Thommy is just awesome

As much as i like her and have no issue with Islam but her complaints seem too unrealistic and me me me. Has she thought of the other side..the company's point of view? Like in her example that her changing room was placed in a different area, did she ever consider that maybe there was really no space in the work area of that temporary backstage so it was placed in the other side where unfortunately she needs to pass through the men's part?! She is not the only model there where everything should be just right to her standards. In fact you can now buy this portable and handy temporary dressing space where you can bring it with you wherever. Anyway, she can just not accept the job if the company cannot provide what she wants..simple as that. Also, with the jeans ad, again if she feels like she is being fake, then do not do a jeans ad campaign the same way if you do not drink soda then do not model for coke or pepsi. Not everything is for everyone.

She is managed by IMG who is the top of the top model agency. Also, being a fashion model is built on being able to carry diff looks and it involves being a character for a short moment. If she is too caught up in her self and do not have any desire to play diff characters then she should not be a model to begin with.

I see a lot of love and hate being thrown at this woman. It seems as though from a professional position, there is a difference of treatment when you have been scouted by a talent agency vs someone who worked their way up to the top to get into the industry. Because they wanted Halima, there was room for negotiation in her contract. Many models sign any contract just to get into that industry, literally sign their lives away. It’s a shame. Perhaps she thought that many models could negotiate their contracts as she had done. But that’s not the reality and she realized this too late. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I’m by no means a perfect Muslimah. I’m still learning, and we are all still learning. We are all given tests in this life. Sometimes we pass them, sometimes we fail them. The mercy being shown by Allah swt to give her a chance to leave and try and rectify her mistakes can’t be overlooked by me.

If you ask for a certain plate in a restaurant for example it doesn’t mean you are saying other people don’t deserve to get it. No comparison but just to explain the point, in shaa’ ALLAH . Sadly a lot of women don’t care much about privacy when changing clothes, but anyway they should be given privacy by other people. People should speak up about privacy.
