Subhanallah. I feel lucky to have been born in Indonesia. Even though there are so many people who live as Islam ID, not practicing Islam as a Muslim should do things like pray and so on. But we have an Islamic environment here, with many mosques (except in Bali, where the majority of the people are Hindus).\nIt's cheap to live here, but not with the education. Even international Islamic boarding schools are so expensive here. If you can get a good job in Jakarta with a good company, you better stay here. \nI'm not sure it's cheap or not, but you can pay min 250 to 430 dollar per month for nanny or helper to clean the house. \nAnd for the weather, we only have two. Summer and rain. Sometimes it rains in the summer. And sometimes it's very hot during the rainy season. Hahahaha. Best wishes for your family.\nOr in Malaysia, they also have a good environment for Muslim children. I have some friends in Malaysia. Food is also cheap and similar to the Middle East. I like Malaysian food. In general, I enjoy halal food. ❤\nBismillah, I hope the best for you guys.

You guys are so inspirational. We need more Muslims like you who will uproot their lives for the sake of their brothers and sisters in Palestine. I live in aMiddle Easternt country, and it may not support the genocide, but its nonchalance is not something I can stand anymore. I am moving to Kazakhstan next year. You guys should try Qatar or Kuwait.

Assalamualaikum guys! I have been following your channel for awhile and as a Muslim living in Toronto, I definitely understand the reasons you mentioned in the video. One suggestion I have is not to move to the Middle East, at least to Gulf Nations. There is indeed a strong Muslim presence there but I found it deeply problematic how these countries are run by the exploitation of migrant workers, and I'm not sure if that would align with your values. I think somewhere like Malaysia would be a much better option!

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.

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.

Sad to see you go Sana and family. As a staunch Catholic, i can relate to the concerns of deteriorating value systems and impact of endless corruption. I know it is harder for our Muslim brothers and sisters these days....trust me equally tough for trad folks like us.That is our test in this world!\nI always wanted to meet you guys at one of your pop up stores at Square one but somehow didn't materialize. \nWill continue to follow your journey. May God favor you and keep you in His shadow ❤??

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

Law of the land shall prevail. I am weary of religious guys, literally all of them are hideous. What is to their liking is fine but not the dislikes of the others.

Hai..i think all of your worries will easily disappear if u come n move to Malaysia??.. first of all we don't have winter season as u wanted.. secondly we are multi culture country with many races n ethnique people lives together like malay+Chinese+indian etc lives in harmony n respect of each other beliefs n background..Malaysian are friendly people n humble..also the easiest country to access halal food everywhere because 60% or more of the population is Muslim..so u can also practice Islamic education here .. n importantly even though we are multi cultures we still can practice our religion peacefully n respectfully..in fact we had our mosques, temple n churches besides each other..n when comes to celebrate holidays, we celebrate Ramadan, Eid, Christmas,thaipusam, deepavali or other celebration together respectfully regardless of our races.. Malaysia also a tropical country so u can enjoy modern city n nature together just in one country.. n lastly I think economically u guys can afford to living or retired here considering dollar are more higher than ringgit Malaysia..so financially I think its everything affordable here ..

Guys please research about Singapore As This County is the best this County help to give aid to Palestine also And theirs no road protesting and Singapore Law is very justice law like they stay harmony with the Muslims here and With Malaysia Is their Good friend country also \nWe have lots of tons of Masjid here Masjid And Big Mosque also Well the azaan is not very loud but they r many Mosque here Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in this Country for 19yrs now since i was 5 years old So u guys can come and tour Singapore as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!\nPlease do consider Singapore as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nAnd love u guys Family channel always see watch whenever u guys post a video and very cute 2 little girls also \n?????????\n\nPlease do consider Singapore as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \nTake care and hopefully u guys chiose Singapore Hahahaha ????

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.

Qatar is in our minds. \nIslam, livable prices, good schools, modern technology with keeping with tradition.. \nit’s getting harder to live in the US when like you said your government isn’t choosing to be humane over power and money. It’s sad. This was my home my whole life and I love so much about it but different season in life. Alhemdulilah and may Allah guide us. Much luck to you guys and I’m curious where you go:)

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!!

Number one alone is enough I think. I feel like I’ve been in a fever dream these past 82 days because how all this is happening and somehow we are just supposed to carry on with our lives is insane to me. May Allah protect you guys and I pray that the rest are able to make hijrah as well and leave. Good luck in your search ❤

Assalam o alaikum\nDear @SalehFamily,\n I am from PAKISTAN and I'm a great fan of your Vlogs . .. Because of people like you the trend is now changing ... people now think and starting to believe that we can follow ISLAM ,,, especially to become practising Muslims [thank you for being so simple and sharing your life which leads to Sinner like me that I can also strive for myself and my surrounding betterment].\n\nWherever you guys go or the journey of life leads you to . .. May ALLAH Paak blessings be upon you and your family for all time sake. Keep on spreading the knowledge and the way of worshipping provided in ISLAM and by Our Beloved Prophet (PBUH).

Assalamualikum. You guys have become my go to ppl for naseehat. Almost like an elder sister/brother that i am yet to meet in person. Inshaallah. We are a muslim family from India. Initially we had thoughts of moving to canada. Have even applied for PR. Still in the pool. But with time my conscious does not direct me in that direction. We are also in double thoughts of where we would eventually want to move. It will be great if we can have one to one conversation sometime.

I’m so happpy that you guys made this decision I’m a Muslim and we were born in London my mum risked everything to bring us there and once we turned 7 she took us to Dubai because she didn’t like what they were teaching in school and the war crimes it was the best decision because were were very close to the Muslim culture again really happy with your decision ❤❤❤

u guys can try for countries like scotland, swiss, norway but again its very cold there weiufh or else UAE, Malaysia or Singapore can be nice options

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...

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

Assalam O Alaikum Dear Sana and Will. I AM SO SO PROUD OF YOU!! I live in Pakistan and I love my country no matter the political turmoil because there is freedom to practice my deen here. My parents on the other hand, desperately want to move to US and I keep telling them life there is not easy and the biggest hurdle is freedom to practice deen, but they can't seem to understand that. And also, why would I move to a country where my tax payer money goes into directly funding the genocide of my brothers and sisters. I am so proud of you guys for bringing up these points and making a conscious decision. The only place apart from Pakistan I would truly love to live in is Madina. Like being walking distance from our Prophet Muhammad SAW is a DREAMMM. I wish you both the best of wishes and I pray to Allah that you guys find the best place to live in In Shaa Allah. Assalam O Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu

Omg, this is exactly the video I needed! I've lived my whole life in America, but my parents immigrated, so sometimes I feel guilty about wanting to leave. I really want to live in a Muslim country, and being from NYC, I love the city so Dubai is the only option I can think of. But I feel like Dubai has changed, I want a place more Islamic. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to travel and explore right now. But I think your videos about the countries you've considered moving to will be super helpful! You guys are giving me so much hope, thank you!

THATS NOT TRUE , THE PALESTINIANS WANT TO LEAVE. !\nEgypt ?? IS BUILDING A DOUBLE STRONG GATE .! THAT GUY IS A \nLIER LIKE MOST OF THEM !\n? Good Luck. !

Weird to think that if that dude was born in the USA, he’d probably be asking if you’d like fries with that.\n\n(This goes for all people. Especially this guy)

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.

Saudi Arabia ?? people don’t look like this Guy ?? He is a white Arab, true people of Saudi Arabia are black too dark brown

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.

And this is what gaslighting sounds like. You really think starving Palestinians wouldn't be grateful for their brothers taking them in and feeding them? Come on guys...use your thinking caps. ?

I wish, if the Canadians raise their voice against their woke government. What I understood after studying Canada's situation is that the people were not concerned about politics. Trudeau, the unworthy, becoming their leader repeatedly is the biggest failure of their democracy. I hope you will overcome this situation. I only don't like your government, but really love you guys and your country.❤❤❤

he looks a bit like the young guy playing david helfgot in the movie shine

This guy looks like Scooby Doo???

like this guys word means anything to someone in the west . let his country fend for them , they wont not as this is just fodder to feed the arab hate for jews , Would the saudis with all their wealth or egyptians feed and care for them NOPE ,

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

Yet he doesn't understand that Israeli's have those same rights. Hundreds of thousands of Israeli's cant even return to their homes and are misplaced because of Hamas. Hamas made a surprise sttack and committed the most barbaric and cruel acts that a human being can do towards another. Yet people like this guy make excuses for Hamas. Israel has a right and obligation to protect it's country.

well see problem number 1 you live in onturdio which to me from what ive seen on videos thats where the retards reside well primarily in toronto, but the stupids are dispersed every where either onturdio or kweebeck, but mostly from what ive seen the sheeple tend to gravitate towards onturdio. I would also mention BC but BC doesn't decide elections onturdio and kweebeck does. Here's a good idea to grasp how stupid the people of onturdio are in the provincial election they elected the same guy that mandated the lockdowns..thats how stupid they are and now are complaining about the cost of living. If your moving to chinada avoid onturdio like the plague especially if your not vaccinated as you will lose your job when the mandates come back and they will just give it time the practice session couple years back was a success so dont worry it will comeback i guarantee that

This chap looks like a bad guy from aladdin ?

I like this kid.\n\nI’m not educated enough to have a valuable opinion, but this guy did not mince words.

this guy looks like Jordan Henderson the footballer ??

As someone from Brazil, to me this video feels like just some champagne problems. You guys have no clue how easy you have it. But at the same time, I agree that easier times make people more soft, so you start to see problemas everywhere.\nEven with all of this problemas Canada still one of the best places to move in. Try living like a month in a 3rd world country (as an average native, not as a tourist using your strong currency) and you soon will be reminded of how lucky you are

Man u are the most honest guy i feel like coming there am from uganda please i need your guidance

You guys just need a more interesting array of immigrants. Like Mexicans, Venezuelas, Guatemalans etc. We in the US are getting 20,000 or so every week.

I got half way into this video and couldn't stop laughing. You are talking about inadequate housing construction. It is absurd to claim that local governments here are not permitting new housing projects. I live in Yaletown in Vancouver and am an avid cyclist. I ride all over the city and post vids of my ride on my YT channel. If you watch any of those, you will quickly realize that construction projects are ongoing throughout the city. You will also see lots of sign board notices along the Cambie and Oak St. corridors of future construction projects. I am an old guy and lived here my whole life. Vancouver has never seen construction like this before.

Yall keep voting in same guy in Canada. When is your next election seems like Trudeau more a dictator that stays in power.

when I see you guys have a pm like this, I really wanted to leave too

Who is this guy he sounds like Laurence Olivier

Blue shirt guy like Paresh rawal \nE pakad mujhko ??

I like this Guy i don't know what it is but I like him

He seems like a cool guy
