When I was looking for Harvard students' experience on YouTube prior to applying for grad school, I found that there were very few vlogs that showed the life of Muslim students, let alone hijabi. So here's my contribution to representation because it matters.

    tbh, I feel so happy to see Muslims like you like MashaAllah you're not compromising on your deen >>3 there are so many less Muslims who actually acknowledge that ✨hats off to your parents who brought you up like this with such a strong faith 🕊

    MasyaAllah sister... As an Indonesian and a muslim myself, I am so proud of you. You are younger than me but you already live the life that I want (as an international student)... I wish you all the best in your life. May Allah keep you in Islam and be the best muslimah wherever you are. Jazakallah for sharing your daily life so inspiring. MasyaAllah tabarakallah
  • I am so happy to see you enjoying in Harvard with your Muslim and Non-muslim friends. I am proud to have a Muslim sister (Islam’s representative) in this prestigious school. Show them how kind muslims are. Keep slaying girl!❤️

    Zhafira auranya positif dan menyenangkan. Dia berusaha melihat hal positif dari setiap hal. Saat telat masuk kelas, saat menyapa orang atau bapak2 penjaga juga menjaga adab, dan sering memberikan pujian atau mencairkan suasana orang2 di sekitarnya. Semoga Allah senantiasa meneguhkan iman dan taqwanya untuk memegang teguh prinsip Islam di mana pun dia berada. Barakallah Zhafira dan keluarga, semoga Allah senantiasa merahmatimu dan keluarga, aamiin
  • Zhaf! aku abis scroll2 nontonin lagi vlog2 kamu. Doa terbaik buat kamu dan semoga segala hajat diridhoi Allah. You're so inspiring for me! Caramu berpikir, speak up, prinsip hidup muslimahmu, pernikahan sederhanamu, cara ngedate bareng abimu, dan banyak hal! Seneng liat kamu, bahagia selalu zhaf! Nitip komen dulu disini, one day, aku bakal s2 juga di tempatmu sekarang, insyaAllah! aamiin allahumma aamiin

    So inspiring vlog, Zhaf! Thank you for sharing your daily life in Harvard as a hijabi. Being a muslim who live in not majority muslim country is lit bit difficult, for example looking for halal food, bidet toilet, and praying room, but you shared how to adapt with that condition. I like the portable bidet and pretty bag, tho. Wish I could find and buy it. Anw, good luck for your study and may Allah always protect you. 🤗❤️

    So young and so inspirational ❤ I pray I have a daughter as brilliant but humble as you.
  • @anothabc
    I’m planning to take my MBA soon and this is such a timely inspiration!
  • Hi Zhafira, it would be nice if you could do a video about the praying rooms on campus, and whether there are similar places for other religions. Also, if you could share your experience learning English, and how did you reach that outstanding level of communicational skils! Cheers!
  • You're such an inspiration Zhafira! Sharing this video has given me a push since I'm also a hijabi in a non musim country which makes me feel like a stranger sometimes hehehe 😅 Would like to hear from you tips for how can you be this confident in a place that maybe is a lil bit diffrenet from you. Much love and respect❤
  • @lunahh1417
    The amount of motivation and inspiration by seeing your own people from faith succeeding and just seeing them working !🥺

    This is a blow minded vlog for me! You guys are so lucky to be in such a wonderful place. I wished to be there too, especially because of prayer rooms. Here in France, sadly, we don't have them in our universities and we are obligated to pray secretly somewhere or to go to a near mosque (If there is one). Plus, your classes' programs are literally lighter than ours!! We have to stay in the university from 8 am to 8 pm! And to make it too hard for me as well, I spend 2 hours to attend my college. Really 30 min is nothing compared to what I have to face every single day! I'm really impressed to see how you spend the day and I'm so happy for that MachaAllah 🤍 May Allah protect you. Keep going on, and thank u ❤️
  • @bmunanabillah
    Thank you for sharing this, Zhaf♥️ stay safe and healthy~
  • MashaAllah so great to have stumbled upon your channel! You're making me want to send my son there now. May Allah keep you steadfast and grant you much success in both worlds ameen
  • Wow thank you for showing this invitation I really need it so I don’t miss prayers anymore when I’m at school😻😻😻
  • Everytime I watch your video, it always reminds me that studying is important kak. It's amazing that you can share positive energy by filming your day hihi. Thank you very much kakk, good luck on your study🤗❤️
  • Assalam alaikom!! It is such a pleasure to find some hijabi doing some vlogs. I really enjoyed your week vlog, especially showing some difficulties that you overcome as a muslim student. Hope you best wishes for your studies!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
