A, s, A I was living UK all my life but I decided to move out of UK I did it I have children because of the environment as you guys mentioned I moved to Nairobi although it not my country I hear atan everywhere I am living life I consider myself and my children happy less stress food are cheap

Not sure but Top muslim countries are also supporting Israil like Saudi Arabia, Dubai,..! No words to say on this, for me, wherever you are, your iman is strong so it will not effect you. I am not a mom yet so can not say anything about kids and their education or lifestyle. Here in Australia, I have seen a family of two children, mom is a Muslim and father was sikh so his family also, but the mom has settled everything in islamic way, her children are getting islamic knowledge, daugher wears hijab in school, read Quran, etc. I think you can make your home environment as of islamic so that it does not effect anyone of you , but still I am not sure as I am not a parent yet. Pray I become parent as we are married since 5 years

I respect your decision but not necessarily I agree with your all reasons you gave.\nI am also first generation emigrant, my children born and raised in Canada.\nMe and my wife faced very harsh situation despite we both are well educated and skilled from our country of birth, and had very good life back home. We did nit came here for job or money. We just came here expecting similar treatment but unfortunately we became subject of very calculated and well planned discrimination, since we are practicing Muslims.\nBut we are not giving up and I think God bring here on purpose, for a purpose, and that purpose is to spread Truth ( Daawah ).\nI will continue by the will of our creator. I am not going to leave this country, this country need my services, since I feel that is what God wants from us.

I made Hijra to Morocco I refused to raise my children in the west it’s madness just for the sake of dunya you can lose your deen or water down your religion. It has been the best decision I’ve made for my family and I \nSave yourself and your family from the Nar

May you both and your family and all\nBELIVERS..be blessed.. protected.. guided.. elevated..in both worlds...May Almighty God lord ALLAAH.. provide you great amount of SUSTI ANCE..MAY WE 2000MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS LIVE IN PEACE IN BOTH WORLDS... ALLAAHUMMAA AAMEEN..\nWAALAIKUM ASSALAM... CHILDREN... PEACE ON TO YOU...

Um this literally tells me that the Arab world will not do anything to support its own. If Egypt opened the Sinai peninsula to Palestinian women and children, this kind of bloodshed would not happen. What’s happening in Gaza is not what any western person would want. But hamas and whoever the Iranians back want exactly what’s happening.

Salam, I’m a Dominican Muslim and my husband is Falastin. We have been considering the same for the past few years. The situation in the US is not getting better and have had some unfortunate situations happen being a hijabi. We were researching Qatar as our first option because Arabic is the spoken language but if not for the language we are considering Malaysia. Inshallah we will all find the best place to raise our children. Best of luck to your family.

May Allah bless you and your children. May Allah help you in this life and give you a beautiful one in the next one. May Allah guide you in your decision making. Ameen.

We made Hijra with our 4 children to Egypt almost 2 yrs ago Alhamdulilah and it has been the best decision Alhamdulilah. One thing you will hear from most people sisters in Particular we feel free here to practice our Deen Alhamdulilah. It’s Allah’s blessing to make Hijra for his sake. May Allah make it easy for u ameen and May he make you settle in a country that will get you closer to him ameen ya Rabb ?

Mashallah l think of this all time on everytime l think of traveling and working and raising children in the west

May god bless your decision. Just be careful about publicly speaking about this as the government may take offence in some of it and may think they have the right to keep your Canadian children here against your will. God bless you all

As an Irish American I I would love to live the rest of my time in my ancestral Ireland… \n\nThis multicultural experiment has proven to be a totally destructive to our humanity … \n\n\nGod gave us our languages homelands and culture … children are being robbed of their heritage and freedom ….\n\nGod bless your family

Come to Melbourne, we have beautiful Muslim Community even when we visit Pakistan my children ask, mom we don’t see muslims here. \nAlhamdulillah in Melbourne we practice Islam with freedom so far. Better than we did in Pakistan

USA is so similar. I have a child and one on the way. I worry for their future . I assumed I would homeschool because I don’t want my children in this indoctrinated system. But truly I long for an environment where my kids CAN go to school & make friends without the silliness of what is happening here ?

This is really eye-opening. I wish a lot of those in Nigeria screaming out loudly that Canada is the new greenest pasture could watch this clip and get educated on the realities of those who have lived all their lives in Canada. \n\nSeriously, one or two of the high points of the reasons given for me is the issues of children indoctrination and societal decay of long-cherished values in Canada.\n\nI wish you and your family the best as you make decision to leave Canada. May Allaah (SWT) ease the tasks ahead of you, strengthen your Eemaan and bless your family with a strong and untied home.

I don’t have any children but for the sake of my future children I am already next month doing hijrah and moving to an Islamic country and city. I am leaving my parents and family in Sweden and it feels really sad and scary but I am doing if for the sake of Allah and my religion.

Allah bless u and ur family.i want to move from here(Sweden)it's not good for children but my husband not supporting.

I'm sad that anyone has to do this! I pray that you will find a place that will be your home, where you won't have to worry about your children being targets, that the government won't ignore your pleas for peace and that is as warm as you need it to be. As a christian women who wears a head covering (not amish or mennonite) I have made it my 'business' to deliberately greet any one I see with a head covering. I know that can't make up for what you are going through but I wanted you to be aware that there are those that do want you to be able to practice your faith in a manner that you feel you must. Peace be with you and may God place his protection over your household.

May Allah help you in your hijra and protect you and your children

Assalamu Alakom ? All Friends Brothers And Sisters Familys Pray For Falestine ?Save The Childrens Of Gaza ? Save Humanity ?

I completely understand your reasons. Especially about your children being safe. \nI’m going to use “you believe what you believe and I believe what I believe “ to my husband. As a Christian I am interested in discovering what different religions believe. But the other night he heard what I was listening to and he was very upset that I was watching your channel. I finally told him it was my choice and I just wouldn’t listen when he was around. \nMany prayers as you travel and decide where you will settle to live.

I have been thinking about moving out of state for along time now. Reason to bring my children to Muslim country.Kenya Mombasa

Sorry guys, all of the reasons that you mentioned except maybe the inflation (which I think is temporary and happening around the world), are the reasons that you SHOULD STAY in Canada. If you leave then you are giving up challenges and trying to find an easy way out. Please remember nothing comes easy and if you leave Canada then you are not going to be part of the struggle to change the mindsets of Canadian society that Muslims can be also accepted in Canada as they are, which may not come during your or your children's lifetime but it will come eventually maybe during your grandchildren or great grandchildren's lifetime and you need plant the seed for that now otherwise there will be no fruitful outcome. It needs lots of patience and initial suffering for a group of minority or downtrodden people to be accepted within the mainstream societly. If the Muslim people start leaving Canada just like you guys then there will be fewer Muslims for this struggle to bring changes in Canadian society. I think you are escapign the struggle and suffering and you guys can affford that but you are leaving many of them behind who cannod afford to leave Canada and it will make their lives even worse and the future generation. You need to look at the bigger picture and and the future. Anyway, this is my personal openion, which you or your audiences may not agree.

Ma'sha'Allah may Allah make the move easy and beneficial for you. I am black born to Rastafatian parents in the UK. Since i was a child my parents have wanted to repatriate (move to an Afican land). I'm now Muslim Alhamdulillah and I really want to make Hijra with my children. Possible to a African Muslim country (Gambia maybe) but i hear Malaysia is lovely also. It's definitely beneficial be among the ummah

You stated 5 valid reasons and I wish you all the best in your next phase of life where you are rightly prioritising your children. It is different times now and I'd love to one day make the change too. My preference would be Qatar, Turkeye, Abu Dhabi or Dubai......

What you’re doing is commendable. Ensuring your children grow up in an environment that is full of love, that is safe and Islamic is the best thing you can do for your children and for yourselves.\n\nWish I could do the same. Perhaps one day Insha’Allah.

I move from one country to another every five years because of the nature of my job. As a practising Muslim with children here are some of the countries I’ve lived in which you guys should consider :\n- Turkey is very developed and your family will have to make less adjustments in terms of quality of life. If you can speak Turkish then you are good to go.\n-Morocco has a very rich culture and the economy is relatively stable.\n- Malaysia is beautiful and has great community sense. Very helpful people. The main adjustment will be with the eastern culture which is very conservative. The cuisine is also very unique.\n- Qatar and UAE are both similar in the sense that finding jobs won’t be a problem and lots of people understand and speak english. Also these two countries are developed and the \n education standards are the highest I have seen in countries following sharia. Also these countries are less strict than Saudi Arabia which is my native country. I really hope you two \n aren’t considering it. Your girls will not grow up happy in Saudi. Trust a women who has done it. I love my religion but inshallah no child should go through that environment because her \n parents were attracted to the holy land.\n-Lastly this is a rather outlier in this list but you should consider India. There are mosques everywhere in almost every city and even the Hindus fondly wake up to the azaan. Most \ninclusive non-Muslim country I have lived in. My children loved it. We lived in one of the many Muslim communities near a mosque in a city called Hyderabad which was ruled by a Muslims for hundreds of years. Even though they have their own languages nearly everyone speaks english. The schools are great. The police create spaces for Muslims to worship on the roads so that traffic doesn’t disturb them. Very inclusive and the city itself is beautifully developed. The job market is great and it is a very affordable place to raise a family.\n\nI hope you guys check these places out. I’ve only listed the countries which I felt were the best options but I’ve lived in almost all the countries with a sizeable Muslim population. Best wishes to you folks from the Sayyid family. Allah be with you.

So, you have the freedom to speak out against the country you live in… but your taking your family (for safety) to a country where your children may not have the freedom to speak out against their country, the freedom to choose not to wear the hijab and live in danger…

Reasons to leave Canada:-\n1. Weather\n2. Inflation\n3. Safety\n4. Western Influence upon children \n5. Govt. supporting Genocide in Gaza. \n Conclusion:\nThey are migrating (doing hijrah) to safeguard their Iman. \n\nSuggestion: \n1.Malasiya\n2.Oman\n3.UAE \n4.Qatar\n\n❤❤❤

Aselaamu alikum. I'll do the same if I have children. All your reasons are valid & agreed 110 %.

It’s very hard to realize our government and most western governments are supporting genocide. I do see some minds being changed by what’s happening in Gaza and the West Bank right now due to the internet and sites like Democracy Watch Now. \nThe part you said about drag queens telling stories at the library being bad is a bit hypocritical if you are suggesting that we should be tolerant of how others live. Tolerance should not stop at certain groups of people . I doubt that a drag queen telling a story would hurt your children. You could find out, when those events are happening and not go. \nI’ve travelled in at least 12 Muslim countries in the Middle East and there is plenty of things wrong in every country. No country is perfect because they are ran by humans \nI wish you all the best where ever you land.

Where are you moving to? Alhamdulliah our family moved to Saudi Arabia 6 months ago from the UK, Alhamdulliah its a great experience and we homeschool our children now. Its nice to be in a islamic environment and safer place to live. Good luck!

it's best thing to do the parenting thing is becoming so dangerous. the government wanna take our children . no acceptable

(I hope you read this)\nOkay i have a few suggestions, having lived my whole childhood in Oman i can confirm it’s a beautiful place but Arab country's higher education(college wise) is not that great therefore ,my family moved to India(our roots are Indian) because this being a reason. (Like a lot of families move from gulf countries to their south asian countries for college,having personally experienced as well as my cousins who lived in Jeddah and loads of other relatives)\n1. So pls look for muslim countries that offer good education otherwise you will have to send them again to UK USA Canada for good college.\n2. Abu Dhabi can be a option as well\n3. Saudi Arabia\n4.Qatar\n5. Turkey\n6. Schooling works differently in gulf countries, for example you have Indian schools that run on the CBSE pattern of India, Pakistani schools, Sri Lankan schools, International School with a British curriculum, International schools with American style curriculum, proper Native schools of that country that teach in Arabic.( Again this my experience in Oman, my cousins in Jeddah went to Indian school of Jeddah, so pls wisely choose the school that you want your children to attend)\n\n(this comment is just an opinion, hope it helps. May Allah make it easy for you )

Ma sha allah\nYou guys doing hijra for protecting to your iman . \n\nMay allah subhanu wa tala bless you and your family, children's with more and more and more barakah in iman \nAnd may allah give you the sweetness of iman.

Can someone please list the countries where it is good for muslims and can raise children plz.

❤I am Muslim and I have been in Canada for 6 months and I totally agree with you and I admire you because at least you had the courage to do it and in the afterlife you will not regret it especially for the children MACHALLAH❤

May Allah SWT make this huge journey easy on you and your children Ameen ????. Praying for you all ??.

Assalamualaikum Brother Will and Sister Sana. I am Kevin Omar Lopez Castellanos. I have donated and commented in the past. If you wish to move to a more Muslim-friendly environment, may I suggest the Islamic Community here in Atlanta, GA, USA? We're still in the process of growing but Alhamdulillah we have made great progress in the past few years. I am a student at Madina Institute in Duluth, GA studying under wonderful teachers who are students of Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya Al-Ninowy. I am a convert of two years and have found myself flourishing as a Muslim here since I joined. There will be struggles and adjustments, no cap, but I love this community with my very soul. Shakyh Al-Ninowy has a campus in Canada but Atlanta is the headquarters. In my hometown, halal businesses and Muslim environments have grown. And there are programs here that can prove very beneficial for your children Insha'Allah. And if you need someone to introduce you, myself and the Madina family will welcome you with open arms Insha'Allah. And if not Atlanta, Madina has other campuses in the US (Milwaukee & Little Rock). We also have campuses in South Africa, Malaysia, India, UK, and Norway.

Consider republic Islamic of Mauritania though I can't say it's the best choice but not that bad for children islamic education. Dubai is a great choice but I am not sure there's a librity of speech in golf cities or countries in general. UK is very good I saw that many people went there after being bullied as Muslims in Sweden or afraid that their children will be took away from them. It has a great islamic comunity. Hongkong is good too for its international schools but liberty of speech again is a problem.

Your number 1 reason to leave Canada is something I have been seriously thinking of too. When I first came to Canada it played a peace-keeping role. Gone are those days, it’s tearing me apart, being a part of such a country. I came from India about 40 years ago. And, everyone knows what is the present condition of India. I would leave in a heartbeat to Malaysia or somewhere else warm but my son has set roots (but, not happy with the direction this country is taking) in this country so he’s not moving anywhere so as an extension I am here.\n\nYou are making a good decision to move while your children are still young.\n\nGood luck wherever it’s that you are moving.\n\nCanada is losing a hard-working, entrepreneurial family, while at the same time they are bringing in people who really have no loyalty to this country. \n\nI totally agree with all you are saying…

Great video! I love how you guys broke it down like that. And I have so much respect for all of your decisions especially the last one! \nMy husband and I are also\nContemplating the same thing and are hoping to be able to take this decision soon inshAllah.\n\nI would recommend Oman in the gulf beside Dubai. I lived there for a few years. It has both the cultural Islamic aspect but is also\nDeveloped and modern enough to enjoy. My issue with Dubai is that has lost its Islamic culture and unfortunately I feel that a lot of the Gulf countries are quite shallow and vain when it comes to money and materialism, something I worry about when raising my children as well. But oman literally has it all and their pay is high plus one of the highest currencies.

Salam to all! I would love to see where you guys pick. My husband and I are also considering other countries. Would love to see videos on how life expense is residential requirements to become a permanent resident of that particular country. education where it stands if the children were to leave that country and come back into the States. If you guys can elaborate on these topics, it would be so useful for those who are attempting to go to the same countries. What would be some financial friendly international home schooling programs that may be parents can enroll in until they are settled permanently in the country of their choice. JAK may Allah make this journey easy for your family and bless your family with the best of both worlds for your intention.

It's too late for me. My children are all adults now. I wish i had the means to move to Muslim country when they were younger. As the first generation of my family who immigrated to Canada, I am worried about the next generations.\nGood luck to your family. It's not going to be easy. However, if you put your trust in Allah with a lot of patience in sha Allah, everything will work out.

You should have left then done this video, I heard that gov. stopped Familly when leaving and kept children, unless this is not correct.

I'm from Birmingham in England. I was raised in a Christian family, but living in such a diverse city made it easy for me to revert very smoothly to Islam. We have a very strong Muslim community here, with many mosques and schools. I had considered moving to California with my children so I could be with my fiance (who is also Muslim originally from Jordan) but, he will be moving here instead, as he feels like we may not be safe there. I'm so happy for you all, I imagine the children must be so excited ??

I've heard Morocco is a beautiful country. I don't know much about it, other than being a Muslim country. Wherever your family ends up, I hope that it goes well for you. Good health and a strong faith, and a place you feel safe and comfortable to raise your children. \n\nThe US has the same social and economic problems that Canada is facing.

I always felt I would be happy living in the west and my plan was to migrate to canada or Australia one day. Now that I have children of my own I will not replace the middle east with anywhere else. In today's world I want my kids to grow up In a Muslim country away from the west and filth there

May Allah make your life easier and better wherever you decide to live. Yes, as a parent it is very difficult living in a non-Muslim country trying to raise your children in within the Muslim faith and traditions. ❤???✌?

❤ love your videos I'm Christian but do what you feel you need to do to feel safe for your family and children
