This hit home on a number of levels. As black woman raised in the Great Lakes of the US MidWest I get the need to relocate which is what we did. Bigotry and environment being chief. I caution you on one aspect that will remain the same wherever you go and that is the issue of schooling and influence - YOU WILL HAVE TO BE INVOLVED AND REMAIN VIGILANT regardless of where you go as no school can replace the foundational structure of parenting and all institutions have personalities with agendas in spite of expressed mission. As for recommendations of where to relocate also consider Suranime where 14% of the population is Muslim. Since I've lived in Islamic lands the world has changed so much that xenophobia against even other Muslims in countries that used to be so welcoming to the stranger but for a variety of reason is also factor you MUST consider. God is good and will guide you.

as a pakistani mum, since u spoke about ur #1 reason, have u ever spoke about the millions of afghans that are being affected in Pakistan, including those whom r documented, invested and have lived in pk longer than u have in Canada, including being born and raised? I don't understand these double standards from many muslim influencers. there are also other countries suffering. However, this is close to home for u.

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

Ok i fully support your decision to leave canada since its your choice and not mine but I would just like to say that please choose a stable country with good quality of life and bright future i live in Pakistan and we literally are running out of gas blackouts happen practically everyday sometimes short some times long and im middle class so just choose somewhere where you feel comfortable and has s bright future \nIm not telling you guys that you are wrong im just pointing out somethings you guys should keep in check again its your life you should somewhere you feel comfortable

I'm from Morocco. I resisted immigration many times because of some of the mentioned issues. Since we had our first kid 4 years ago, the western life is a no

Muslim Somali Canadian American here…I couldn’t agree more with y’all reasons…ever since Oct. 7th, my family & I have made the conscious decision to do the same pronto!

Mashallah. I'm 100% on this vibe ever since elected leaders showed their true colours and exposed their handlers. Inshallah, I'll make Hijra soon too. I cannot stand to be associated with the west anymore

Even though I became Muslim only since mid March, I’ve been considering making the Hijra to a Muslim country Insha’Allah. I can’t relate to living in cold weather conditions being in Southern California, but I can relate to everything else. \n\nI’m not married. Insha’Allah one day I will. But I think about the safety my wife will have going out in public in her hijab. Insha’Allah I’ll have kids and I wonder about the indoctrination going on in society. \n\nBut the biggest thing for me is living in the US and knowing that whoever is in charge will endorse genocide. And for a country that prides itself on free speech, yet we see that speech being limited when it comes to standing up for what’s right. I actually had a feeling that was going to be your number one reason before you got to it.\n\nI can’t make this happen right now but Insha’Allah in the next few years, be able to work on it so it can happen.

I live in texas went from a big city but since becoming a mom we moved to a small town. Best decision we ever made my girls play outside and are ssying hi and thank you, learning to live among others with different views or beliefs with respect. My family is a mix of el Salvador and Honduras, my moms family is of Palestine descent who left and went to a small country who was the only one at time that opened their doors due to their religion. Because of that religion and politics stay outside of our home we were all allowed to explore others but respect was always the rule, and i do the same for my girls if they want to learn we research together and teach them respect of all faiths. We do homeschool because in our small town public school is actually thw second choice of how far out we are from the school. We have also still homes in el Salvador and honduras because my family told us from being little this isnt home and to respect the hist country that opens their doors. Blessings to you and your family.

Why the arab need to take the land owner as refugee it's their homeland the question should be why didn't U.S take the israeli settler as a refugee since they support them so much.

I 100% support your decision and this is exactly what I think of whenever people ask me whether I'll move to Canada or America once I'm done with my studies, since my studies open the corridor for me to easily settle into another country plus my country is in a pretty bad state economically. Regardless of all that I'd still say I want to live in a Muslim country, even if I leave my own country and work abroad, us and Canada isn't worth it. So much hate and so so much ignorance

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.

I was born and raised in Ireland. I lived in New Zealand for a year and ever since coming back to Ireland, I can’t wait to leave again! It’s just not the country for me. I wish packing up your life and moving across the world was easier.

Lynn just watched this video ,great content, i came across it after a friend of mine with a good job in kenya asked me if i had any links there, i am Jamaican, i actually established a business in Nairobi Kenya,which i moved from Jamaica which started in the UK, i told my friend i did have links but he would not be able to take the Cold weather, look Lynn the answer for me is if your KENYAN Government opened the doors to the Diaspora to come to Kenya from the Carribean ,USA and South America , we would bring our wealth and skills which are higher,no disrespect, yes there are intellectuals in Kenya, but they realise when they work in places like Canada that they are learning more, we as black Diasporans already had a head start when it comes to that , because we have been in those countries since Slavery unfortunately,but we took the knowledge anyway, if we came to Kenya and other African countries,not only would jobs be created for kenyans and such like but your living standards and economy would improve,its a no brainer, please do i video on this subject,?keep up the good work, nuff respect

Religious people pushing their delusional beliefs on others, but the Muslim church is not yet ready to openly force their delusions onto others but it will come, if they want to believe the insanity they do its all fine but if you want to live your extremism religious beliefs then go back where you came from since Christian delusionalists have enough hold here another extremists cult is not needed

Salaam Alaikum. Originally from the states but living in Thailand since 2018. As a revert, I have never felt any safer than I do in Southeast Asia. I would personally recommend going to Malaysia. Been there 9x and it is a second home to me. Amazing people, amazing culture, Halal food EVERYWHERE and there’s always a Masjid nearby and if at a shopping mall, supermarket, etc. They have Musalla for Salah. May Allah SWT bless your and your family on your journey and grant happiness, success to all Muslims around the world ameen.

Salam, I was born and raised in Canada but I knew one thing ever since I was young, I knew that I wanted to get married and raise my children in my home country, Lebanon. So, I did get married back in 2003, raised my children there until 2021. This is when I made the conscious decision to move back to Canada for a “better life” ? only because there were lots of problems with our economy…. \nDuring this past summer I knew that Lebanon was a “better life” lol \nAgain after living and witnessing first hand everything you mentioned in your video, I too made the conscious decision to leave Canada and move back to stunning Lebanon. Best decision I have made! \nI completely agree with everything your saying and may Allah show you a better life for you and your family in the Middle East. \nWelcome to come to ??❤

Alhamdulilah I am so happy for your family. I used to watch a lot of non Muslim couple influencers but since the war on occupied palestine I have seen that non of the couples you tubers have even mentioned what is happening its like they are all in the agenda just to distract people while a genocide is happening right before our eyes, sad thing is majority of the people around the world are ipening their eyes to the reality its not about religion or race its about humanity so when people who have such huge platforms keep quiet it shows their values. so I have decided to strictly keep my eyes on our muslim youtubers. I see what you are doing and I am so happy that you'll get the chance to help the Palestinians as many of us wish too but unfortunately cannot. May Allah bless you abundantly and keep your family safe.

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 ?

Hi, I was born and raised in the UK to Pakistani parents. My dad was also born and raised in the UK but my mum was born in Pakistan and came to the UK when she got married. Since 2019 we were planning to move, even though my family live in the UK, so it was going to be hard. We were moving for the purpose of education and better our selves in deen (faith). My dad was worried about our future and what things we would learn. Unfortunately my grandmother passed away in October 2020 when we least expected it. May Allah grant her the highest rank in jannah. Aameen. So we delayed the move till I finished secondary school (Highschool). In May/June 2022 I took my final exams and we booked our tickets to move to Pakistan at the end of August 2022, so I could get my results. In August 2022 we moved to Pakistan and since then we have enjoyed it, in June 2023 we went back to the UK for a holiday for 6 weeks and we loved it as we got to see our family.

I have lived in Malaysia (5 yrs), Bahrain (7 yrs), Pakistan (born and raised), and now in Canada (4 yrs). Each have had their own pros and cons. \n\nMalaysia has some of the nicest people in the world. Beautiful country, lots of rain, temperatures usually between 28-30C, all year round. Laid back office culture. Lots of work holidays! In the last one decade Pakistani community has grown steadily esp in Kuala Lumpur. English is widely spiken and understood in major cities.\nAs for the cons, very expensive international schools and daycare centers, that would take a huge chunk out of your income. Pakistani food not that easy or cheap to find, but that may have changed since we left. Relatively high cost of living, if you need to live near city centers.\n\nBahrain sees both winter and summer. Not much of other 2 seasons. A large Pakistani, Indian community, so much so that I rarely ever used English to communicate with cab drivers or shop seles reps!. Regular Arabs struggle a bit with English though. Pakistani/ Indian food very easily available n affordable. Again a laid back work culture. Maids and domestic help easily available. \nAs to the cons, you may encounter racism sometimes. Arabs are generally nice ppl but u may sometimes find them condescending in their dealings with you. Probably bc most of Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshi and Nepalis form the labour force (and we all know how worker strata is treated in the Middle East). International schools are again quite expensive (lesser than Malaysia though).

Oh. I was totally on board and sympathetic to your reasoning until you brought up the drag. Queen story hours.. I can’t see how choosing to express your self by dressing and performing in drag, is on par with needles, and drug addicts, and any other addictive behavior. honestly, I have a religion that I have practiced since I was born and was raised in. Is not Islamic. But it is as fundamental as anything else. Drag queen story hour is not even a little bit related to being a fundamental or conservative, religious anything!

Since idk how to NAME A GOOD COUNTRY Since I'm just 16 ?the only thing I can think of is Malaysia ?but it's too far r?idk @SalehFamily

Sir namaskar since I am alongwith my wife here to attend our ailing daughter in law .Sir my son is employee of pharma co. production deptt having b. pharma and mba he is also gaving mortgage agent licence pl.guide him to go ahead in real esrate.Thanks ji .. Romesh Sharma

Blessed move inshallah. Totally agree with all the points you raised, and more. We’ve been living in the U.S. since 87. We succeeded and our sons succeeded considerably more than we did. Yet, we are now contemplating going back home. Because we now feel that the west is clinically soulless. We yearn to live in the warmth of the East again. Blessed journey and peace upon you, good people.

My both parents are employed and working for since ever I can remember, and now with the inflation they can barely keep it up from paycheque to paycheque.

I am Malaysian, with Malaysian mom and Pakistani dad. 20 years ago my extended families in Pakistan moved to Canada and started life from scratch. Everything was kinda smooth but ever since the government supports genocide, they decided to leave Canada settle down in another muslim country so this would be their second hijrah. They have exactly similar reasons, just like you and i totally support your decision to move out. Much love from Malaysia. ❤

Roflmao, west Europe become a joke. Follow Slavic example, they bother women they meet half of male population in area and need ambulance transport, they attack gays, gsys will organise pretty fast and form groups and fight back.. they kill our pets, well they will meet stafords and dobermen from not so nice groups of native people. West people must stop being afraid to be labeled as this or that and retake control and demand changes. There is no Muslim areas in your cities,it is your cities they are guests allowed to stay and invitation can be canceled and rules for gaining citizenship must be tougher for non Europeans all over Europe, stop giving them social wellfare and force them all, including women to work, stop giving them child support after second child. They will stop coming when they actually will have to work and earn and live by laws and customs unless they want to be deported..\n\nIn my neighborhood was one family, trash thrower over balcony, kid peeing from balcony, they did not realise we shared state with Muslims and have big Roma population which lives by their rules and that we know how to deal it before it goes to far. Trash he threw people collected added theirs, rang the door and threw it all into their apartament and told him to forget everything from where he came, to start act like civilised human being otherwise their lives will become hell and if his kid pees one more time thru balcony he will not have an organ to pee from.. no issues since then.. they understand only the language of their own mentality... Force...

Guys you choose to live in always expensive Vancouver since 1999 !!!!! Don't go crying. Want cheaper cost of living? Live in small towns or get yourself a farm, in Yukon or QC, MTL, Trois rivières, Saskatchewan etc.

NO SUCH PLACE AS PALESTINE SINCE THE BRITISH LEFT IT IS ISRAEL

Israel wants Gaza, they wanted to scare people to leave, other Muslim counties closed their doors not because they don’t care , but because they believe Palestinians belong on their own land. And since they have no place to go, Israel has no choice them to cleanse them of their existence with force ! Genocide ! Very sad !

Since Justin Trudeau became prime minister, this great nation became a sewage. Communists are a desgrace, they destroy everything they touch.

Live within your means. I came to Vancouver 12 years ago with no money. Got a job\nPaid off the loan I had from where I came from. I have since bought 3 homes and sold one.

My prayers are with Muslim community to accept an invitation to allow an old neighbor of theirs since the beginning of time that have coexisted together but long not talked about to revisit your lands with your kindly inviting heart's❤

The Palestinians have on many occasions since 1948 been offered the opportunity to live side by side with Israel in peace, but they have always rejected it. \nThe case in point was in 2005 when Israeli settlers of Gaza left on masse and the Palestinians were given the whole strip including the opportunity to be self-sustaining economically. The Israelis left them greenhouses and an infrastructure and they were also supplied with millions in aid that would have made it possible for them to prosper, but what did they choose to do instead? October 7th, 2023 terror attacks happened. They chose to arm themselves and decimate Israeli civilian communities.\n\nNow that there is war and many Palestinians are dying, the Saudis and other oil-rich Arab nations, who are neighbours of the Palestinians won't lift a finger to help - i.e. give refuge to members of the Islamic Ummah, who needs their help. Oh, they will give financially, but that is no real sacrifice to them whatsoever. They have no problems in spending millions to sign football players for their league. If they really cared for their Palestinian brothers they would do more than that. That is simply hypocritical.

im from czechia and i have family in candada since around WW1 now the letter what they sent every year on christmas was now worst ever year for them... crazy i was never be happy being in czechia than now :D

canada is better but of course people are just going say the u.s since it has a large gobalization and market come here and see the real factors of staying what u going go through just to get on top for example immmigration system job vacciness and even employment in some states and cost of living in the good states with higher opptortunties as evveryoen thinks that its all states in america with good oppoturtinties

That's the first Hitler mustache I've seen since 1944

Since when Palestinian have the land? The Jews is the most deserve to own their land.

If you want to call it your land, you need to conquer and take it for yourself. That’s how it’s been done since the beginning of human existence. What you don’t do is cry about how unfairly your being treated and look for hand outs. If you can’t take it, it’s not yours.

Since there is hadith about the people of Palestine protecting al Aqsa and the land, the Palestinians will not leave

Why aren't these questions asked to Qatar, since they are housing the Hamas leader. I think it would be more appropriate to ask Qatar.

This adamant attitude did not allow it resolved this issue since it's beginning, if Arabs had accepted two states then, not only people of palestine had peace but Israel would be lot smaller in size that is of today with no possibility to expand. But no ...in stead they chose to war with Israel because Arabs don't care for people of Palestine.

Im sorry but he’s saudi no? So is no one questioning the fact that he said that SA wouldn’t work with anyone that would force them or want the Palestinians to leave their land? It’s Saudi Arabia…arguably the United States biggest ally in the Middle East other then the state that is forcing the Palestinians off their land has been doing so since the post WWII Era. The US is a power that has and continues to support Israel and Israel is forcing the Palestinians off their land so if the Saudis are not gonna support a country or work with a country that supports the removal of Palestinians then they need to stop taking American money and stop being the US biggest ally, also idk why you all praise him, talk is cheap and the Arab world hasn’t done much about israel continuing to eat away at the Palestinian state, if SA truly believes that Palestine isn’t going to be forced off the world map then SA should start supporting Palestine, he didn’t even agree to let in refugees..not sure where all the praise is coming from he talks like a politician, he avoided the actual question and says what the people wanna hear despite not making efforts to make that happen.

All well in good but remember it's Palestinians land by his own words this means they don't want Jews there.\n\nI don't like any monotheistic religions they are all garbage imo.\n\nThis war will never end it has gone on since the birth of Islam and the Jews from canaanites.\n\nRemember both are genetically identical but it's a war over the land claimed by their religions.\n\nThus it is a never ending war short of genocide cause neither can prove their God is right.

I’m sure there’s a good amount that would love to leave. The ones that don’t want to sacrifice themselves for Hamas. So maybe you can open your country up to just those people since you’re so concerned with not forcing them to leave.

He did a great job answering like a politician. Very well done. Weather or not someone has a right to something is very subjective though since the same guy answering this question does not believe Israel has that same right. So.. definitely a politically charged answer.

Would be awkward if you left Canada since your channel is called “Living in Canada”
