Stumbled across this video. Impressed with how well you guys articulate. I hear your reasons, but can't say I agree with all of them

You guys , you say every now and then « that’s why I left canada ». But actually, the streets are becoming more and more congested and the houses are becoming more and more scarce ! So who are these people in streets ??

Seriously fuck off religious people They say they are appalled? Absolutely bollocks! I worry for my children and yours! Please England open your eyes before it's to late!! Stop thinking you don't want to upset people! Religion doesn't care for you and your family! Remember the 80s 90s! The jam? Wham! Ect stupid example but we are getting taken over!!!! Our government is has and is shit 20 +years!!! If you vote this election! Will be my second time voting!!Reform ?sounds stupid! But if you care about England you and your family vote!!! Please guys ♥️other wise our country children and us lot are fucked

The sahabis burned the boats and came to the lands of the non-believers to give dawah, and you guys use the companions as a scapegoat. Just say you want to leave and don't use the blood and adversities of the saahbis for your gain.

I am not Muslim and I don't live in Canada so I can't completely understand your experience. I'm from a Hindu family and I relate to some of the things you guys have expressed, especially how you guys are worried about your children being raised in a certain environment and the sense of community. Especially, about the kids. America and Canada are scary at this moment. I heard that America is looking at allowing schools to help children to hide their decision regarding their gender etc., from their parents, and there is so much more being taught in schools that go against certain cultures and belief system but also it is now separating kids from their parents, creating walls. I also agree with you both that I don't hate or saying that others can't live the way they choose to live but when it is being imposed on your children then it's hard to live in that place. I wish you guys all the best, just wanted to say, I completely get you and bless your family. You have to do what is right for you and your children and you have to go where you are most comfortable and happy<3. We all are different and we all have our ways and we all deserve to be living in a place where we can be safe to continue our traditions and cultures, to help it live on, our children will carry that forward and it's important. I don't mean to hate but America seems to be morally collapsing and Canada follows America and so does England (it's where I am living). It's scary. Hard. For some of us to survive in a certain environment. It's not for everyone you know.

Guys I am in full agreement with you in each and every word you say. I request you to please do this at the earliest and also pledge on Allahs name that you will never come back to Canada.

Says the guy whit the Hitler mustach

To the guy that said if they all band together to storm a border why don’t the band together to fix their own country, I’d say same reason we don’t band together to fix our country.

I'm a Malaysian living in the UK for education purposes, and I can definitely relate to what you guys are experiencing. I do feel like I'm a walking target, given that I'm wearing the hijab. I do miss the adhan, I have it on my phone for maghrib and isha cus I love listening to it. I miss home. I miss alal food everywhere. I say your decision to move is the best decision, and I would do it at a drop of a hat if I were you guys. <3

Well, you guys are leaving for 5 reasons. I see a lot of others who are not Muslim leaving for the un-affordability. So i guess that alone is the reason but you have a lot more. I support your decision and i think you should do what your heart says.

Says the guy with the hitler stash ?

Just remember when he says Blockade, remember Egypt has a border to Gaza that has a BLOCKADE. So he's pinning the Israel/Gaza blockade on Israel, but not identifying the Egypt/Gaza blockade?. Funny how its perfectly fine for Egypt to have a blockade and wall and border that doesnt allow Palestinians thru but Israel is the bad guy? Hahaha. Yea okay

First of all, we should be careful with the use of the word “hijrat”. There are countries(I happen to be born and brought up in one of them) where muslims actually have a history of persecution, often resulting in riots, deaths. If you compare with Prophet Mohd. saws’s hijrat, it was a result of prosecution, suffering and life risk. Relatively speaking, sometimes our first world problems may look big, but they’re not really, compared to the state of Muslim lives in other countries. \nI have lived in Dubai(2 yrs), US(8 yrs) and Canada(1+ yr) and I want to say that Canada is a beautiful, diverse country for people from all faiths and backgrounds, so much better than what I have experienced living in the above mentioned countries and my own.\nThe grass is always greener on the other side and often we don’t understand these things until we experience them on our own. Make sure that you guys do extensive research in every aspect of your future lives and not just those top reasons mentioned in your video - for each of the probable countries on your list. May Allah guide you to the right path.

Big decision to make when you have children but i must say you guys are very brave. Wishing you guys the best of luck wherever you decide to go . I also left Canada and living in Cuba for the past 9 years and these were the reasons i wanted to be in a country that i can be free of debt, cost of living , safe no drugs no guns and almost no crime believe me super happy here living like a king .

This guy speaks so well. Seen another Saudi guy saying Palestine was fake and all that.

I like the people who are seeing always the truth it doesn't matter that they belongings to there or not. I could say there is a lot people they didn't say the truth, God bless you guys ?

Where are all of the Confederates, KKK, Southern ??‍???‍? Supremest, that’s always saying Texas is the South & it’s going to “rise again” ?? Why aren’t you protecting your border?? And Arizona was a confederate State too that joined the war to team up with the South, Tucson, Arizona to be exact. We’re sitting back eating popcorn ? wondering what are you guys going to do besides getting on your knees blowing Joe Biden crying for help? Because it looks like the “Migrants” want their land back ??? so who cares

I SUPPORT EVERYTHING THIS GUY IS SAYING - LEAVE THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE IN THEIER HOMES THEY HAVE EVERY RITE TO LIVE IN PEACE AND SAFTY OFF THIER OWN COUNTRY - THE WORLD NEEDS TO SUPPORT PALESTINE ?? PEOPLE TO LIVE FREE AND HAVE NO DANGER ALL PALESTINE PEOPLE TO LIVE FREE IN PALESTINE ??❤❤ LOVE EVERY THING THIS GUY IS SAYING ✅️✅️✅️✅️✅️✅️✅️

Just based on your first reason to leave, make me understand you guys have a beautiful heart. InshaAllah u will find a new beautiful home in a islamic country! I myself have left the Netherlands 14 years ago and I now live in Turkey and I have absolutely no regret and I must say it has changed me for the best?

I did my education here in Ontario. Back home in India, education was mostly about education but here it is all about having all the experiences like weed, addictions, breakup and promiscuity etc. Everyone talks about YOLO (You Only Live Once). If you are not going to party, clubbing and staying virgin as a guy, you will become a laughing stalk.\nEvery other day I meet people who says their parents were Muslims. That's scary for me.\n\nI felt like Muslims are safe here but not kids, irrespective of their religion. Alhumdulillah I see Muslim-Christian brotherhood in the protests against L***Q+ education in early childhood education. insha'Allah I will follow your video to get updates about which country to move.

Just remember wherever you guys pick make sure that they speak the same dialect that you do otherwise you're going to have that learning curve of learning their dialects. It is different in a lot of places like learning to speak like the yemeni do is different than the Pakistani. So just keep that in mind. My grandfather is from Yemen and his wife who is my grandmother and my dad's side is from sudan. And they used to tell me it took them a while to understand each other. My Syrian grandmother on my mom's side would teach me words and phrases and my grandpa who was from Yemen would always make fun of me because I wasn't saying stuff right. I'm not really good at speaking Arabic but I can get by so just remember when you guys are picking somewhere to pick a place that won't be that hard to understand people. I'm only saying that because with the kids you guys send the kids to school they may learn a different dialect than what you taught at home and it will be a learning curve for them to try to understand. But I'm sure you guys will make the right decision. I just figured I would throw that in there I'm sure you already know that the dialects are a lot different and Arabic is a lot different in different parts of the world. People think Arabic is all the same and it's really different. Just like people who speak Spanish in South America speak different dialects on the Puerto Ricans just like people in Brazil don't speak Spanish they speak portuguese. Just a thing to think about. Egypt seems to be a pretty good place I have family that live in Egypt and they really liked it but I'm sure you guys will pick a place that's wonderful for your family and I can't wait till you guys know when we can see everything that you guys are doing in your new home Korean and I totally understand I am so upset the United States took the stand that they did with the genocide in Gaza and in the occupied West bank. People don't understand exactly what's going on there they don't know if they're not really up on current events and don't have any people in their family who are from a Muslim country they don't really know what's been going on. Anyway I hope you guys make the right decision for your family I know that you guys will pick the best place

I've been following you guys for the longest of times since the beginning, actually. Massive respect for you people to put our deen on priority. Like in each of 5 points, our religion was associated with the reason for migration. May Allah make it easy for you guys. Aameen. This is super tough, I know, I understand. But definitely, nothing is hard if Allah SWT commands it to be smooth. In urdu we say, 'HIJRAT MEIN BARKAT'.\n\nP.S: Consider QATAR. Also, a sisterly advice, finalise after offering two rakah nafeel.\n\nLove and respect,\nSafura S.

Wow so much respect to both of you! Firstly I want to say your a great couple, you make great educational videos that myself and my wife have both learned from. Your both brilliant representations of what a good Muslim couple is. It's brilliant that you guys are fortunate enough to move away from a country that supports genocide! (Not everyone is as lucky). May Allah SWT give you both and your families greater success... And please don't stop making these fab videos!!

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

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 really do wish u all the best, but coming from a Muslim country myself immigrating to Canada recently, I’d say don’t get your hopes up, because so called “Muslim” countries aren’t much different, and having to live in a country where u can hear the athan is nice, but unfortunately is not enough. This is actually my problem with Western Muslims, romantacizing Muslim countries. I literally practiced Islam fully and more freely in Toronto than in Cairo or Dubai. There is no such thing is a “Muslim country” the way you guys having it painted in your minds! People in those countries are as just “people” they sin and as. corrupt as societies in the West but in a different way.

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.??????

There are so many things i want to say . But I cant . I wish there was a more private msg that i can message you guys. I completely feel you . your practicallity .

I Live In The US, I would say Lebanon, or Pakistan. But we don’t want you guys getting hurt from the war so I think best option is UAE.

The west isn’t saying the Palestinians should leave. The west is purely saying to all the hypocritical do gooders. Why are you protesting in London & New York, when the neighbouring Arab countries are doing zero to help??? Is it because the west allow you to protest??? And FYI. The guy said a paragraph in English and you’re praising him like a Shakespeare play writer.

What this guy is saying is, none of the wealthy Arab countries want the people of Gaza.

This guy is lying . The prince of Saudi Arabia is just telling him to lie in public when they interview him but the reality is that Saudi Arabia doesn’t care at all of Palestine he still want to have relations with Israel and he is just waiting for the war to end even one of his close worker saying in public that the conflict of Israel -Hamas didn’t slow them to continue with the agreement of peace cause the prince of z Saudi Arsbia wants yo tele some Israelis to work for him in Saudi Arabia and I feel sorry for him if he fulfill his wishes cause he doesn’t know how in the reality Israelis are and if they go to work in Saudi Arabia they are gonna do the same think they did in Palestine the prince doesn’t know the kind of scorpions will take to his country and that makes mi happy for him to pay for not helping Palestine . We all pay in this life for all the bad deeds we do before we die and still the judgement with Allah.

Says the guys that do not have freedom of anything. That land belongs to the Jews. Judea was the name of the country, and that was before the Islam was even founded. King David made Jerusalem the capital. Ignorance is the new virus.

Love this guy’s remarks I wonder if and I’m not being condescending here but I wonder if he would say the same thing about Ukraine genuinely

Says the guy who's countrymen dropped five buildings in New York City 20 years ago

It's not there lands what is this guy saying??????

????? The big guy in the school yard sees a silly kid getting his butt kicked by a tough kid….And says…It’s not my job to help that kid…Not my fault he’s getting worked over. Maybe the kid will stop beating him soon…\n\nMaybe the big kid doesn’t want to catch those hands, either. Especially for a dumb kid who picked a fight he knew he could not win!

That’s why his country sending aid to Palestinians?? He is saying this because no Arabs Countries want any of these Palestinian’s Islamic Extremis ideologies being infiltrated in their countries like Hamas.All Arabs leaders supporting Israel under the table to get ride of Hamas group they want Israel to be the bad guy to get rid of Hamas \nWake up people

The Israelis have the right to live in their land in safety and security also and if the palestinians aren't going to allow that by slaughtering their civilian babies, children, women and elderly then they lose their right to peace and security. \nFor this guy to say they (Arabs world) won't take the Palestinians because they deserve to stay in Gaza is just gas lighting. I bet his country supplies humanitarian aid to his enemies during war also. Hippocrits.

Says the guy with hitler mustache and billions of dollars in property and gold, always take blame away

Many of the issues you bring up are the same here, but I am willing to deal with those over the impending chaos we are seeing down here. I am an American living close to the border in Buffalo, but I am considering a move to Canada due to the political climate down here. I would rather pay a little more in taxes & gas than deal with the Christian Taliban we are heading for. The Canadian housing market can be fixed, food prices can come down, but once you start losing rights, it's time to consider your options. When I (a straight white guy in his 50's) can see the writing on the wall, it's getting close to time. That being said, living in a state (New York) that will fight the incoming stripping of our rights, will buy us a few years. I can deal with all the other things (high housing costs, soul crushing medical debt, overpriced college, & out of control gun violence), but we are way too close to a civil war for my comfort. I travel up and down the east coast and don't believe what they are saying, we are way too close to a pre-WW2 Germany situation for anyone to feel safe. The amount of gun owners threatening violence is very concerning.

i feel ashamed of this guy all arab leaders are puppets\n “And if they asked you about the justice in the lands of the Muslims, say to them, 'Omar has died.”

offical said he is reason so i think video recorder guy say something before recording

CANADA: The Venezuela of NORTH AMERICA!\nI say it from a brazilian perspective that I got from here to what’s going on over there. \nYou guys ought to do something immediatly.

That’s all ..why the media keep saying same thing over over over to the Arab world states …why you guys don’t take Palestine ?? refugees over your territory….

Really easy for this guy to say that,… What a cop out!

Why doesn't this guy say the hostages should be returned so the war can end?

Is this guy a Wonka? He doesn't want them in his country. If you ask those same Palestinians if they want to go to America, they will leave their land in the wink of an eye. Who is this guy fooling by saying Palestinians do not want to leave their land?

Hold on a second you little Asian Doll?I have to take Canadas side and Americas side.You see, all Americans and Canadions are made up of people that were either exiled from Europe and Asia and took vengench on the true native of that land.In the end the invader distroyed the savage indians?At lest i think they think they did???Why i saw one the other day or i think it was one he was collecting tickets maybe you might know him??He had eyes like one of you guys,they say you guys are related by DNA??That one seemed like a nice guy??????????But i aint gonaha turn ma back onum thats what ma paa says??????????

The guy didn’t say where he saw 1k$ job in Nigeria
