Muslim Teen Playing Basketball With Hijab And Flats Is Going Viral In Social Media

After Chaiwala viral sensation, pictures of a female Pakistani pilot in Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and Pune selfie girl in Raees promotion went viral on social media owing to her flamboyance and pretty looks. Now, here is one more sensation in social media.

Meet 18-year-old high school senior Jamad Fiin, from Boston, Massachusetts. She went viral after a video of her playing basketball during a lunch break was posted on Twitter. People went crazy after seeing her moves and she instantly started trending on social media.

Being of the Muslim faith, the middle-school students dress in hijabs, which tend to get in the way of the action on the basketball court. Have a look at the video which made her famous.

Check out this clip of her, wearing flats and a hijab and playing against several guys, driving to the lane and finishing a layup with a sweet left-handed finish.

And that’s not exactly a fluke either. Back in October, she showed off a video of her training 3-pointer after 3-pointer.

People were amazed by how she went straight to the hoop. Here are some of the reactions in social media.

Talking about the campaign to get the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) to allow players to wear hijabs she said: “I feel like wearing a scarf harms no one so it should be permitted.” Though she enjoys playing basketball she said: “I don’t want to go professional but if the opportunity is there that’ll be amazing.”

A lot of people were impressed with her attire but Fiin said: “Somali girls in Boston play everyday in their skirts and flats at the Timilty Park in Roxbury so it’s normal for us.”
