There's no deen in so called Muslims countries.... they are just misrepresenting Islam...I think it's easy to fight with those who are ur declared enemy rather than munafiq...the whole Muslims countries nation sleeping.... doing nothing for palestinean...may i give you example like in Pakistan if even price of fruits and vegetables go high the people come on streets and strike but when a gazan child is dying nothing happen to us... where's deen, where's humanity... can't they pressurize government to take step... it's doesn't mean I don't love Pakistan but I love life for palestinian ....and as about deen they do not teach islam but sects

May Allah make things ease and reward abudantly to both of you and your loved kids and make this your Niyyah and efforts to be most successful and most blessed for your family here in this temporary worldly life and the permanent Aakhirah life too..\n\nWe are really waiting and looking forward to see your further videos on this topic, seeking inputs about the best possible Muslim county to get settle with the citizenship.. PS: we too have plan to move from India to any possible Muslim country to get settle with citizenship.,In sha Allah.

omg thank you so much for sharing this! All of this resonated so much, I'm a mom of 2 and am so fearful for my children's upbringing and literally Palestine was the last straw and I'm trying to hard to move to a Muslim country for all the reasons that you all mentioned. Looking forward to you all sharing what countries you're considering and I'd love to hear the financial side of things if you're comfortable sharing it would be super helpful. I'm in the tech industry and haven't had much luck yet.

May Allah pak make it easy for you all in all aspects of your life. May Allah bless you all for not only taking such a step to safeguard your emaan but for also being an inspiration for Muslims like me who are in poverty stricken countries like Pakistan and see countries like Canada as a golden ticket despite knowing all these things aready. Make Allah put barakah in this decision of yours and guide us all to the right path. Ameen. Lots of love to you

Love to know what the other options are from a muslim perspective, I am sure there are many more who are thinking like you.

I'm a non Muslim woman, living in Europe and believe it or not, I'm very worried about all the Muslim communities living in most European countries. I don't know what's going on with the world, but the hate, the xenophobia and islamophobia are very real around here. You're doing the right thing, life is too short to live in an environment that doesn't suit us. ❤ Check out Turkey. It's lovely there.

I’m from the US born and raised in chicago, converted while living in Chicago and the Bridgeview community is so amazing Mashallah. I moved to CA when I got married, and the Muslims are dispersed and don’t practice openly. I really don’t love any community I’ve been involved in the past 6 years in CA. In February 2023 we moved to Amman, (my husband was born and raised in Jordan all his family is here) it’s been good but we couldn’t find a source of income so we have to move back to the US. But we’re moving to Chicago now. And if we can afford it, will send our kids to Amman in the summer.

I am a born and proud Roman Catholic and love your videos. In Cape Town South Africa Christians and Muslims live in harmony and in most families there will be one or the other denomination in a family. I grew up in a neighbourhood where the call for prayer from the local Mosque could be heard. It was all part of growing up. Our Church Bells rang as well. Everyone accepted it. Of course there will always be grumpies in some areas, very few I may add who complain but they are shutdown by the rest of the community. We too have Malls with prayer rooms. Our private hospitals have a prayer room for all denominations with a mat for Muslim patients. Yes our country might have a bad reputation for the usual world wide issues but in Cape Town we continue our lives at our own pace. May the God Almighty Bless you on your new adventure.

Assalamu-alaykum. May Allah (swt) bless your family. Love to watch another video about you choosing destination muslim country

lived in Malaysia for 3 years.. loved living there the weather the people n especially especially loved the Muslim practicing environment... \nI would recommend Malaysia a diverse country with Muslims who ethicaly follow Islam

I’m Indonesian and I think you’re gonna love living here in Indonesia. It’s the largest muslim country in the world, great muslim community, low cost living, so mant masjids here, constant adzan call prayer, our government support palestine

No muslim country is at to stop genocide. I would love to know where are you moving

In Islam, anyone doing hijrah like for religion, work, life, security in life will always be blessed with rahmah and prosperity from Allah. \nIts been proven generatios after generations, this is a real deal. \nIslam peaked in the golden age of knowledge due to Muslims hijrah to Andulusia. \nEven our beloved Prophet hijrah, even his companions hijrah and passed on in foreign lands. \nEven our beloved Prophet Ahlul Baits hijrah to Yemen, South East Asia and most part of the world. \nEven to be a recognized famous footballer, he must be willing to hijrah. A buisness man to be successful he need to hijrah to find wealth and prosperity. \nMy prayers to you both lovely family to find a place under the sun that will make your heart filled with happiness and fulfillment. My humble respect from a fellow Muslim living in Singapore. ❤

Masha'Allah, I really love the reasoning. When you visit the middle east and Asian Muslim countries, u love the peace and belonging

I am not Muslim, I am learning about what it means at the moment and I have huge respect for your beautiful religion. My family is from Australia, our government are similar unfortunately. I also homeschool my kids for lots of the same reasons. Sending much love to you guys.

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

Assalammualaikum Saleh family come to malaysia a majority muslim country multiracial full of diversity rich in culture warm and beautiful you will definately love here..malaysia truly asia

I love this. I’m also Canadian and have two young daughters and have had the same thoughts in my mind. I’d like to move to a Muslim country so badly!

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.

i started to practice islam in 2009 while living in spain. and left it in 2010 and relocated to turkey. would never go back. love spain and keep my best memories of living there. but now i have three kids and need to think about them first. and i think that a muslim should live in a muslim environment. istanbul is like a european city but with adhan and people who wont harass you for your religion.

I loved when you said about your first reason. Move because of your religion because of your Muslim brothers and sisters because of injustice of your government towards Palestinian. You leave to please Allah and Allah will never let you down. Wish you and your family all the best.

I was in Turkey for 3 months and loved it! Istanbul was magical, and i loved how so many Muslims from across the Muslim world lived there. There were Libyan's, Syrian's, Bosnians, Afghans, Africans - very diverse! I stopped to pray in Ottoman era mosques for every salah and met wonderful Turkish brothers who invited me for soup, tea/coffee. Their hospitatlity is well known! The city never sleeps and every shop is open with families out and about, islamic shops selling Islamic clothing, halal food is nothing to think about again. The other good thing was that there was always something to do. Fajr at Aya Sofya, Juma at Sultan Ahmed mosque, a taxi to Eyub Sultan, then to a religious neighbourhood of Fatih, amazing architecture, great food, affordable and safe. The only negatives were traffic and pollution, but given Istanbul's population, that was understandable. It was also summer and peak season. Also, you can literally cross into Europe and then Asia by ferry. Its to die for. Other parts of Turkey are also great to visit. The blacksea cost is stunning as an example in point and more natural mountainous beauty over city living. Turkey is a great option if you haven't already thought of it and if youre a fan of Erdogan, its a good place to visit and invest in

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.

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 ????

South Africa . Diversity with lots of tolerance. Lovely people. . Nice weather. Great outdoor life. Muslim communities and mosques and madressas.

You will love Malaysia. We are nice people and a Muslim country.

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!!

Mashallah! Love seeing Muslims making hijra!

I am happy that your family is able to make this decision! I pray that this journey is easy for y’all.\n\nI’m a Muslim living in the US and if I had the means I would love to move back to my ancestors’ country, Ireland. I detest how the taxes I pay are funding genocide. I regularly contact government officials to express this but they don’t care.

Non Muslim here but I would love to live in Turkey. I could do it for a year but can’t really imagine leaving Australia for good .. the Turkish people are so friendly and helpful .

you should try Sri Lanka... its a multi cultural country. And the people around are very kind and its easy to blend in cuz there's no discrimination at all! most foods are halal also cuz the muslim population is big, many restaurants are run by muslims and there are many girls schools for muslims including religious studies... u cn find musjids in every city/town... and again, the people are so flexible. as a muslim in sri lanka, im so glad im sri lankan cuz i love the people in this country, cuz no matter what, all of us have each other's backs.. <3

I would love to hear where you feel is the best locations. Im so looking forward to it!! And please show the hows for western muslims to move to the countries you recommend. Praying this works out well for everyone. InshAalh\n\nThank you for all you do..JazakAllah

Non Muslim, Californian here and I wish you nothing but love and safety and blessings. Oh and Free Palestine, obviously. ❤

I’m not Canadian. But I love your reasons, I love Will’s hat. Will’s strength to not bow to those views and values. You’re doing what you think is best for your family. You’re always my favourite muslim family. Always welcome in Australia. But I think you’ll find Australia is going to way of Canada & the United States… I Know you will make the best choice for your family.

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.

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

Where can i find the story about the great migration that you talked about. I’m not Muslim but I would love to live in a Muslim country. When I was stationed in Saudi Arabia I used to sit on the wall and just listen to the call to prayer.

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.

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!

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. ❤

I am not Muslim I love everybody equally & I am Canadian and I agree with everything you guys said 1000% I'm am terrified for my child's future here & would love to take him out of here!

I cant blame you for the cold. I dont love the winter either. I moved back to the cold winter from the coast and boy do you get spoiled on either coast of canada for weather! I just dont like to be cold. If I could move to the USA, preferably texas. I would go. In terms of living costs, its sad how many canadians dont understand that places like BC and ON have been pricey for a long time. Its new in other provinces to be this expensive and AB, SK, MB, QC. While some of those provinces are more expensive than others, they're new to the super high prices and many refuse to recognize how ON and BC have been paying these prices far longer then inflation right now, which isn't new either. While I'm not muslim, I am LDS and we are not a favourite religion in society either. We get chastised all the time and nobody bats an eye. I've been insulted by employers, our church buildings have been set on fire. I still have to explain why my faith doesn't believe in working on sundays (as employers want that these days). I think some religions or non religious dont want to recognize what we get put through too. Even though we can relate to muslims in our own way. My faith enjoys serving communities with the muslims, I have worked with muslims and many are just the kindest people! The first president of our church got murdered and our people got chased within the USA and americans seem to believe that this doesn't happen in their own country but the same hate has and continues to happen in my faith. So I can understand, we face a lot of rejection when we speak about our faith. I can understand in my own way how you feel.

Mark my words this is only the begging ,this is what happens when extreme Muslims come to your country their aim is to take over your country.its not on .they should be come down on with full force of law and deported .leave non trouble Muslims alone and love together we need peace not this crap

When Islam weighs more in the balance of power than English citizenship, then English citizenship will be condemned to convert to Islam or otherwise sign the Dima, becoming a semi-slave paying jisia and other humiliations, or die, this is not a speculation. , it is not a possibility, nor a theoretical conjecture, the vision of Islam is world domination by violent means, when doctrinal persuasion does not work, this purpose has 5 stages and many nations in Europe such as England have been there for some decades due to presidents and timid, timid, and progressive politicians, whose concept of solidarity and altruism is governed by the most absolute ignorance, which makes them incapable of directing the destiny of a nation, have been facilitating this 5th stage through migration and the multiplication of the Muslim population. within this migration through their children born in England, children who will be raised under the radical ideas of Islam, and who will one day fight to impose them in England, because according to the implicit inclination within the Islamic doctrine, anyone who wants to keep them completely , will necessarily have to become a radical Muslim, because that is what Islam requires of them to conquer the world starting with the nations that were conquered by Islam and then lost, and they know that it is impossible to do it by peaceful means, all those Muslims Who sincerely preaches an Islam only of love and peace is a good person but a bad Muslim, the league of Arab nations is made up of 14 million km compared to the tiny 0.24% that Israel has, so if the conflict were over land The Arabs have plenty of land, but the conflict is religious, so they do not accept peaceful solutions or reasoning, even the West Bank has more territory than Israel or Egypt itself, but why does no Arab country want to accept the Gazans? Well, why do they? If you know the Islamic doctrine and the real situation within Gaza, there every Gazan family belongs to one of the various Islamic terrorist parties or at least they support the Islamic (jihad) war against what they call the infidels, so they are A PLAGUE of hatred, destruction and death for anyone who says welcome to my house, proof that many of these pro-terrorist protesters are going to protest violently is clear when they act just like any criminal when they are going to commit a crime and cover their faces to that no one recognizes them, and when they bark, defecating from their mouths with hysterical cries of the blindest ante-Semitic hatred, Allahu Akbar, or free Palestine from the river to the sea, they are declaring, first of all, that they are at war, which turns them into an invading force. of Islam within England, and secondly, they are declaring in the sight and patience of the all-complacent English authorities the extermination of the entire Jewish race, and it is precisely the kind ignorance and irresponsibility in the face of this growing danger on the part of the English government that which is why Islam, one day not too distant, will bring England to its knees, or at the very least will make it cry blood.

These Arabs love Americans and don’t care about the Muslim\nCountries

Muslim Ummah is at their weakest, they are in love with the Dunia.

Why dont Muslim countries help their fellow brothers and take them in till the war is over? Love and respect to all Muslims Jews and Christians.

Don't disagree with him, though I do think that the Arab Leaders can do a lot more in solidarity with their Palestinian brothers and sisters! Sending billions to rebuild after the fact is not good enough. If they take a united stance against Israhell and their Western affiliates, surely they cannot be ignored! Sadly, the Muslim world is too fragmented and in the pockets of the US! They've sold the Ummah out with their love for the dollar!

While we may feel hopeless in the face of such horror and loss of loved ones in Palestine ??, this is the time to remain optimistic in Allah SWT, as Allah SWT reminds us that when we have exhausted all resources, we should only rely on him and him alone to strengthen our imaan and continue to be a righteous Muslim. I implore everyone to please share these Duaas with their friends and family so that we can all gain the reward and on the day of judgement Allah SWT will be aware of our efforts and won't held us accountable of what did you do watching on the sidelines when innocent children and their families were being martyred. Here is a Du'a you can read as you pray for Palestine: O Allah, help and protect the people of Palestine. O Allah, ease their pain and suffering. O Allah, bestower of Mercy, bestow your mercy on them. O Allah, open people's hearts to give in this time of crisis.\n❤??❤

First you take them and prevent them from dying then stop the killing , the root cause of the war a nd they return back to their land .Arabs dont want the palestines in their country ,muslim dont love themselves
