I am a Filipino resident of Riyadh KSA, I would suggest Malaysia, not Kuala Lumpur specifically but maybe Palau Penang.. I have kids studying in the university there DM if you need info’s.. may Allah make it easy for you guys

May Allah bless you and your kids for this.

My Cousin along with her husband and 4 kids has moved back to Pakistan just bcz of these reasons.

Hi, we live in Luxembourg and are practising muslims and have a kid. yes, indeed it is very difficult to raise a kid with Islamic values in this society. also, it's challenging to practise for ourselves as well. we don't want to be liberal muslims, rather a true muslim. but that's difficult. so we are considering to move to a middle eastern country in a couple of years InshAllah. thanks in advance for sharing your journey, good luck to you wherever you choose to live❤?

I have so much respect for you and I think many of us young adults are planning to follow suit with plans for Hijra for the exact same reasons. Its a rising sentiment. I have never lived in Qatar and Oman but have friends who recommend thinking of them for people with our backgrounds coming from abroad. Do you think you are going to continue homeschooling the kids??

Hi guys you guys are making good decision we moved 2 years ago because of our kids and the hatred of the Muslim community we moved to Jordan and Jordanian people are amazing very welcome the school is top 10 my kids the read right and speak Arabic I suggest you guys look in to it inshallah you guys find the best place

May Allah be your aid, may your intention be for the sake of Allah. May Allah make it easy upon you and your kids. Ameen ya Allah

Hello there i am Muslim it doesn't matter if u r a Muslim or not theres a lot of people wants to move away from Europe countries like USA UK Canada Australia because everything has gone up buy like Double prices to plus thinking about our kids grandkids and nephews and nieces Future because the way Europe has become we remember when we were kids and now look at the big difference i got friends move to another country because they couldn't afford it its becoming a joke and the politics doesn't care

You are right, all over the world there's inflation but in Canada there's no savings, huge tax, no job security all over Canada, where we can get lay off after years of hard work in a company. Canada encourages people to be in debts, tons of credit cards. As a Muslim I think the same for the upbringing of kids in Canada which is very difficult almost impossible. May Allah help the Muslims community in Canada, giving us guidance and contenant. You are bless that you take a goid decision at the right time. May Allah help you and make things easy for you❤

I don't wear hijab and I don't feel safe and I don't want to stay in western countries. The indoctrination is also one of the things that makes me leave. And know that I don't even have kids.

You both have your niat (intention) Islamically correct and praiseworthy. Move on to protect your iman. There are a dozen countries that will be good for you and your kids. All the best!

Salam Alaykoum, my husband and I were discussing this some topic about leaving the US and returning to Senegal so our kids grow up in a Muslim country. Only thing keeping me here is for me to complete my PhD. Can't wait to see which countries your family visits !

All your reasons are the same reasons me and my husband want to leave Germany. Both of us were born here. Grew up here, but the stance what German Politicians are taking and how they are pushing the people here to hate on Muslims is insane. I always faced racism as a brown kid, as Germans in the 90s were super racist. My parents fled a genocide and ethnic cleansing themselves. So they thought at least we kids would grow up happy and safe here. Never felt home and at peace in this country. Ironic when you think how they are obsessed here with rules and laws. This war let us realise that these laws are being applied selectively. And so we made the decision to save up our money for the next 2- 3 years and as soon my husband finishes his higher education we are going to leave this country for good.

Me and my husband do not have kids, we have been married for 12 years and we live in usa but not a day goes by we want to move because keeping your eman stead fast is sooo difficult ! We have plans to move in the near future also.

My family (myself husband and our two small kids) inshallah plan to leave the US in the summer after the school year. Our 5 reasons are identical to your top 5.

Good luck my dear sister and brother we have plans like you ❤❤❤we lived 36 years my kids grown here but right now they are not happy we are looking for good places to live and be safe

May Allah Subhaanahu Wa Taala protect you guys, may He make this hijra easy for you, may He grant you what you seek, may He make you and your chilren from the ones He loves, Aameen! I am from Pakistan and can't ever imagine leaving my country to go live in foreign lands. Alhamdullilah, I feel very safe here. It is a Muslim country, alhamdullilah, although there is a major class of citizen coming up here who'd like it to be more 'open minded' like the West. May Allah protect us from that day. I would suggest that you move to Saudi Arabia, preferably into or around Makkah or Madinah. I believe that these two are the best cities in the world for Muslims. Imagine saying your five daily prayers in Masjid-e-Haraam or Masjid-e-Nabawi! You kids could study there and grow up speaking and understanding Arabic like Arabs. Imagine the understanding and appreciation they'd have of the Quran and Hadith moreover, they'd be able to reap benefits from the work of all major scholars. InshaaAllah. BUT, on the other hand, you guys are Allah's workers there in Canada. You could do dawah, spread Allah's word (you're doing that beautifully already). You'd be doing what the messengers of Allah did. Think of it this way, if you leave, there'll be one less family supporting Palestine and the Islamic way of life in Canada. Maybe, Allah wants someone like you to represent Him there. Allahu Aalam. There's this beautiful piece of Urdu poetry by Syed Sadiq Hussain, it goes something like this ' Tundi-e-baad-e mukhalif se na ghabraa ae uqaab --- Yeh to chalti hai tujhay ooncha uranay ke liye!' translation:- Do not fear the strength of the head-winds (opposing wind) O' eagle -- it but blows only to help you soar higher! All I'm saying is that there's another way of looking at your dilemma. You guys are like a small, bright light in a dark night and can help lost travelers reach safety. Cheesy, I know. Do Istikhara, let Allah give you His suggestion. Follow it and you can never go wrong innshaaAllah. What ever you decide, our dua'a are with you, uhhibukum fi'llah. Wassalam Wa Rahmah!!

I am from Pakistan studying medicine. I had a plan to give usmle or plab exam to move to USA or UK in future. But seeing your video I have instantly burried my plan. No matter how difficult situations are in Pakistan, atleast I can practice my religion freely and that I don't have to worry about my future kids getting contaminated by filthy environment and filthy education. Allah above everything ?

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

You guys are right I definitely agree with your decision about the kids and how they are beening effected alot inflations as well. I am thinking of moving back to Singapore my home country.

I wish you brother and sister the best ensha’a Allah. I am Egyptian American and I totally understand you and feel you now. Dubai might not be the best option, Go Egypt if you manage to make a good living, Egyptians are warm, many are well educated and we have some OK schools. In Egypt you can joint the countless committed Muslim communities where you can raise a healthy kid who knows deen. May Allah guide you to the right decision, Ameeen

Hello Saleh family, I have been following you for over two years now; I am not american or canadian but a physician and mother of two from a third world country in the Caribbean. I started following you because I was curious about the muslim faith and your way of life. I started following different muslim people (and jewish, vegan, homeless and more... basically anybody different than me) and after some time I saw that we were all humans in search of the same things in life. I completely agree with your decision of moving but was very disappointed in your comments towards the drag community. A person in drag reading a children's book is not indoctrination. A person in drag reading to kids is only teaching them acceptance and tolerance (exactly what you want the world to give to your girls who most likely wear a Hijab). A person in drag is an artist who finds joy and self worth in certain clothes, hairstyles and makeup... it is a person a human person with the same value as everyone else. It has nothing to do with sexuallity or sexual orientation... if we truly want freedom for Palestine, if we truly want to change the narrative and to prevent 75+ years of brutal occupation and racism ever happening again; we have to change the way we see our differences... is not enough to ignore and respect people who are different: we have to accept them and recognize their humanity and their worth; to value and foster acceptance and integration in the younger generations... that is the only way forward, that is the only way we will all secure a better future for our kids. Good luck in your search, I hope you find what you are looking for ❤

Almighty Allah bless you and your beautiful kids. To all Muslim around the world

Salam, love your videos. Here are my top 2 picks for you, Jordan or Kuwait. May Allah bless you and your kids wherever you go. Best of luck.

Hi,\nI recommend moving to UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait. If you want to want your kids to learn Arabic, making friends with local and expat Arab kids. And be more familiar with the Athan :)

Ma sha Allah great said.. i want to leave Germany too. The only thing i am worried about is that i am a single Mom with 2 little kids. I consider it difficult to raise kids and earn money at the same time.\nPlus, a divorced woman alone in a muslim country is a bit stigmatized. \nDoes anyone have a food advice / tip for me?? I would appreciate it. Jazakum Allahu khayran

But your kids might want to to winter activeties? You have small children still...

I was an immigrant child coming from Uzbekistan to USA. I got married and had 3 kids, we built our family in the US, but left 7 years ago, and moved back to Uzbekistan. I was very reluctant at first, but Alhamdulillah it was the best decision for our family! \n\nIt was actually very hard to adjust to the culture here for me because I’d become very Americanized and indoctrinated with feminism ?. I had to unlearn some things and get back to my Islamic roots and manners, Alhamdulillah. \n\nI’m looking forward to watching your next videos and seeing what you all decide.

We also decided to move for similar reasons - from Europe to Saudi Arabia. It's been 6 months now that we live here. I do not regret it. My kids are safer here. The only thing - we miss the greenery.\n\nMy husband is Turkish so I can also relate to Turkey. Small towns are nice but in big intetnetional cities you can see the tension and fight between atheism and Islam. Could be a good option depending on where you will live.

So brave decision specially with 3 young kids ..?May Allah makes it easy for u..

So happy for you that you’re able to make this decision. Ma Sha Allah ? I agree with every songle reason of yours and I have been wanting to move outta here since the past few months for exact same reasons - the indoctrination of kids at school was the greatest factor for me then. Now the Canadian government being in support of the genocidal occupation of Israel is the greatest reason - the guilt of living here while the government is complicit is terrible ?

I advise you to Move to ?? qatar, it has best of both west and east , you will absolutely love it , safe , islamic and clean and very low crime rate and very kid friendly and modest , doesn't promote lgbt

Mashallah, as a Palestinian Canadian, I wish I could pick up and move with my kids!

Interesting about the islamic atmosphere, I live in England and there are so many Muslims around me, I even hear they calling to pray once a day but I don't see a Christian atmosphere even though it's said to be a protestant country but for sure there's a Christian atmosphere back home in Brazil.\n\nI absolutely love living in Europe (Ireland and England) but I do miss this atmosphere from Brazil and my culture that 1000% I want my kids to have.\n\nI have the exact same opinion about things that are being taught at school that goes against my believes and i know many Christian parents are making the change to homeschooling and i might do the same when it's my turn.

I want to move to a muslim country so bad but unfortunately higher education is not good for kids in those countries especially if we move out of the USA and I don’t want to limit their future.

Hi!... We are currently going through the same phase, decided to leave Ottawa, but still planning where to go next. I am currently home schooling 3 kids and juggling time between them, a toddler and home... Hope things work out well for you ❤

This is not the first time you guys earned my respect with your good deeds... I hope you achieve all your goals and more. Best of luck! and I think you guys have definitely made the right decision, So many people and families are moving out of Canada it's not as the outsiders think it is... With their ideology like lgbtq and their raising kids ideas, the cost of living, availity of drugs and just everything it's not the best place to live anymore...

Where are you going to move to? So proud of you guys! I totally agree- I so much want to leave the US. We are a couple that are around your parents’ age. We’re encouraging our kids to move away as well. Some health issues are holding us back. But we hear you! The situation in the US is just as horrible. \nMay Allah bless you wherever you go- if I were to suggest places- I’d say Qatar or Türkiye or Morocco \nMay Allah guide you to where is best for you.??????

i'm shocked to hear about Canada's state. hoping you and the kids move out in good health.

As salamu alaikum, may Allah guides you to the best decision and place for your family and use you in the goodness whatever wherever and accept your good deeds ameeen ?\nJust to not be shocked some of your reasonable reasons for looking for more Islamic environment are not available as you wish in lot of Islamic countries.\nOf course there's more daily Islamic things that people in these countries take for granted while Muslims in western countries suffer to get/live and though the gap in cultures is shrinking, which should be a good thing in its principle, but with time of more fetan it sometimes means faster spread of fetan between countries to find some of what your suffering from is there also but maybe alhamdullelah still not in same pace or widness.\nIt hurts do much being in countries whose governments support obviously the wrong side, just keeping mind it's hurting (regardless now of whether hurts more/same/less) when you are in some Islamic countries and not free to express your opinions freely.\nIt's worth mentioning that moving while kids are not yet old enough to get familiar with anti-islamic things around is better in timing.\nOne suggestion that I'm not sure whether is affordable or time wise is good or not or whether you've gone this all the way of trying or not is to continue living in Canada with more surroundings of people of similar core values (by the way not all of whom I mean have to be Muslims, lot of non-Muslims are conservative about education and society pushing their kids to ideas and behaviors against their core values) if you've tried this already and even tried moving within Canada for that purpose and didn't work, then may Allah help you to go for the best.

Mashallahsana and will may allah accept ur hijrah im in tears i wish i had the option to do better for my kids im jsut s ginle parent and ilove canada but i dont think ur wrong at all i agree with all ur saying… cry?

MashaAllah, u guys r such an amazing couples and parents. I know this is not an easy decision, but Allah is with u and I really stand and look up to u. Every parent knows what is best for their children and families. I live in Pakistan 2. Me and my brother were born in US to Pakistani parents. My mom didn't want to leave US but my dad said there is no religious environment there plus our whole family lives in Pakistan and didn't want us to grow there. Our apartment owner who was Christian was not letting us go. He said that u guys r such an amazing people, good Muslims, nice to everyone and take Care for everyone. It was really hard for both of my parents but Allah made it easy for us. My mom passed away when I was 18 and my brother 15 and I really miss her. My option is u can guys move to Pakistan. U can get Islamic education + Islamic environment. No matter how bad our politics, government doesn't care about Its own country and no cleanliness but I still love Pakistan. I really respect you guys for making such a hardest decision with strength. I really support you guys with this decision. Just don't mind I was just giving an advice that Pakistan is way better but it is totally up to u guys which country u like to make your better life. But where ever u guys go, u are all always in my prayers even our brothers and sisters in Gaza. May Allah bless u all with his blessings, protect your family from evil eyes, fill your life with joy, happiness,love and peace and May Allah make this journey and life easy for u and hereafter. ❤ Your family and especially your little kids

I have met you in person and I love you, I think all governments are almost the same and the corruption has reached everywhere in the world yet many people are still and will always be good and they are everywhere in the world.\nthe cold is the same as the hot the only difference is you had enough cold but once you go to the hot countries you will say the same about hot weather.\nThe environment, I prefer that my kids get exposed to everything and question everything and I will always be there to teach and explain and learn what I have to learn to become Muslims based on conviction, most Muslims In Muslim countries are Muslims because it is the norm to be a Muslim and the day they are exposed to the rest of the world… \nSo at the end,I want you to make the decision you believe is the best for you at the moment, and Allah will ask you about what you did not what other people have done.\nThis is donya and you will be tested till the last day of your life. Equip you children with knowledge wherever you are and Allah will take care of them.\nAll the best my brother and sister and we will miss you here.

Dear sir..please tell me how I can show money for my two kids who are applying for dependant visa after my visa approval. How can I show money for them as the mother. I have shown as show money during my visa application. i am a single mother

@SalehFamily i can no longer follow your channel, there is nothing wrong with drag queens reading to kids, there's zero statistical evidence that the LGBTQIA+ Community has been blamed of hurting children. The ones you both have to worry about hurting children are: policemen, priests, youth pastors, politicians, your unassuming creep neighbor, principal, people of authority who are supposed to be trusted to keep children safe from harm are the ones who have hurt children. Just recently, numerous youth pastors, cops, church leaders have been arrested on charges of CP, CHSA, Molestation, most of which have received sentences between 2-40 years in prison. And love is love no matter who you are or what sexuality preference you are.

Talibun will welcome you and especially your kids i hear they love kids DEEPLY no matter THEIR ages ?

Do your kids watch your videos?

Whichever country you move to can you kindly make a Vlog on the expenses kids school universities laws basic requirement to move there ? Jazak Allah and May Allah make it easy and a blessing for you

So very sorry that you have to make the decisions for those reasons. But totally understandable and yes your kids always come first in life of course but that's so wrong that even though your reasons is of course the right you have to do that cause of what other people believe in and what those people are doing and that your childrens future and present is not what it should be for all you believe in and want them to learn and be. I totally respect your decision and life has so much beauty but cruelty too and more now with all that is going on Again so sorry

Many times children have no desire to leave India. It is the parents who looks at neighbors or relatives kids and want their kids to enjoy the same. Most kids cannot say no to parents and get stuck for life.
