I agree with you in terms of being a muslim woman wearing hijab here. I know Canadians won't say it to you directly but there is a REAL misunderstanding of our religion created by the media and the looks are very PAINFUL. Just bear in mind that nearly all the western countries created and still support the genocidal state , and that the UAE is a strategic partner of Isr*** and supoorts genocide too. So do not expect to find yourself in a traditionnaly muslim country if you choose the UAE. Good luck for your journey ?.

Aslm akhi, as a malay Muslim Malaysian, i think my country is the best choice for a hijrah. Affordable, sufficient infrastructure, education and medical facilities. Halal food, praying room n mosque are everywhere, even inside the train ??? Almost all ASIAN & half of the world can be found here, surely their halal certified cuisine as well. \n\nAnyway can't wait to see your next country to make a hijrah option video.

Am from Singapore and moved the US for last 6 years with my entire family for work. Honestly, can’t wait to just get back home. Singapore although not a Muslim country is multi racial and religious one. Safety and indoctrination is not a problem. Practicing Muslim is made very easy.

I'm a Palestinian Muslim girl living in ireland and I have to say as much as I appreciate everything this country and its people have done for me, there's no place like home.

Alhumdulillah!!! I’m so happy I came across your video. My wife and I are exploring our options for leaving the US. Most of what you said resonated with our circumstances. In Sha Allah, you'll find what works for you guys. As for us, well actually me (giggle), I don't mind the cold. We are exploring predominantly Muslim countries, but even that is hard. May Allah make your hijrah easy. Looking forward to seeing your follow-up video(s) with your choices.

Which muslim country is better then canada?

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

I'm from Birmingham in England. I was raised in a Christian family, but living in such a diverse city made it easy for me to revert very smoothly to Islam. We have a very strong Muslim community here, with many mosques and schools. I had considered moving to California with my children so I could be with my fiance (who is also Muslim originally from Jordan) but, he will be moving here instead, as he feels like we may not be safe there. I'm so happy for you all, I imagine the children must be so excited ??

I have a friend who I went to high school with and she a Muslim

We family living in Canada too, we moved from a « muslim » country with Athan heard 5 times a day… but recent years it changed people are only muslims but no iman no safety no akhlak. So we moves to Canada in 2018 and now we have decided to move out for ur same reasons but we are still wondering where to go. I am following u to figure out a good place. Jazakum Allah khayran

May Allah make your life easier and better wherever you decide to live. Yes, as a parent it is very difficult living in a non-Muslim country trying to raise your children in within the Muslim faith and traditions. ❤???✌?

Mashallah! Love seeing Muslims making hijra!

I wish there was a Muslim country that checked all the marks.

Aslamoalikum\nI want to know that which European countries allowed Muslims women to cover their face except head cover to outer apparel kindly guide me if anyone have accurate information about it .I want to go abroad for higher studies but I can't abandon my religious duties specifically face veil becaus of any reason.

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.

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

#3 was the biggest one (imo) that made me think. I can't imagine what it's like to have to live day to day with those worries and fears about yourself AND your children. As a mother of 3 myself, there is already so much to worry about when it comes to our children, without the added fear of visible religion being added to that. I have never once thought about what it would be like, if I was raised in a religion where it was visible to others, how that would have impacted me, nor have I ever passed a thought as a parent. And for that, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you have to live with those worries and fears each day. I'm sorry that people of Muslim religion are bullied and targeted on a daily basis. I'm sorry that a few bad eggs, have marked the beautiful people. I may not be Muslim, but I would gladly step in and stand up for a Muslim (or anyone tbh) who was being victimised because of their religion. I truly hope your children never become victims, and I truly hope that y'all are able to find a place with Sandy beaches, lots of sun, a wonderful Muslim community with plenty of free space to worship how and when you need to freely, and the feeling of safety for you both and your beautiful children.

A very brave decision, I wish you success and inshallah you settle at a Muslim country and you live happily ever after.

Good luck, to be honest mostly practicing asian muslims doesn’t prefer to stay life time in Canada , UK, etc.\nThey just take the passport and move to GCC countries mainly UAE.\nAs with the same qualifications but with different passport salaries are way different.\nSo I assume u will switch to UAE

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

Antalya turkey, theres a YouTuber called confused muslim (faiz bhai) he migrated from uk to turkey and says its the best decision he.made

GUYs.... some Middle East/mentioned muslim countries & KSA are 200% with Isreal at Gov. level !! ... we are from that world and DONT be fooled. Things are drastically & disgustingly changing in that arab world. Unfortunatly the non-arab natives do get easily foold that these Muslim countries are proudly representing Islam which is not the case !

Arab World?\nDid I hear it right?\nAre all Muslims Arabs? NO!\nMost Iranians would argue with that!

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.

I guess you're not gonna move to some poor muslim country? It will probably be Dubai or at least Turkey? Am I right? Sandy beaches and nice weather are good points of course but it shouldn't be the main reason to relocate. I've noticed that many muslim youtubers strive more for material comodities rather than spiritual...

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.

Have you considered Andulucia in Spain? There’s a really beautiful community of Muslim expats in Orgiva near Granada

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 .

Maybe Cape Town, South Africa. You can still speak English here, we've got loads of Mosques everywhere. You can wear Muslim clothing, you will hear the Athaan in almost every community. The food is really amazing and more.

It's high time we Muslims have a piece of land where pure shariah law is established. I'm sure multitudes of Muslims will make hijrah to it from all around thw world. And seeing the system work and the true face of shariah even many non- Muslims would follow and travel to it.

Best of luck . You encourage us to be good muslims .jazak Allah ?

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).

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

South Africa is a great place for us. There are many people who wear hijab, there are mosques in all the major cities and in some rural towns too. The cities are muliticultural, there are diverse options for halal food. There are plenty of great schools, including islamic schools and there are plenty of madrassahs. Malls in the big cities have salaah rooms. \nThere is a large diverse muslim community. ❤

In america where I live in ny there are so many muslims so tht is great here with a close mosque and also a big community and yes there are issues towards muslims but there are soo many muslims here. Yes it is still hard though not gonna lie but pakistan I did live there for seven years due to education and came back to america but pakistan has issues just saying.

Their muslim countries lack human rights and only oil has made many of those countries rich.

I believe staying in a Muslim country where you have freedom to practice your religion freely ..a religious environment .. I have three sons and one got married recently but they all prefer migrating to muslim countries not western or European ones for jobs..Dollars may be tempting but Faith is above all ...i don't say you don't live in a western or European country...its just that you should have firm islamic roots so that your kidz follow it ..or else the situation would be drastic like Borris Johnson ...Oman Muscat Qatar Ireland Dubai KSA good places to migrate

UAE is good for Muslim ....

I am a muslim. I say, they want Sharia Law, send them to Afghanistan..

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 ❤❤❤

Salaam I am so proud of u guys taking this step I really look up to u guys I am Muslim and proud of it Allah Akbar. Free Free Palatine may Allah make this move easy on u guys may u find a place that makes u guys happy an most of Allah will be happy Ameen

When it's Muslim you guys don't handcuff

Go to your muslim lands ?

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

COME TO AUSTRALIA NSW. IT DOESNT SNOW . 4 ITS NOT THAT EXPENSIVE. 3 WE HAVE PRAYER ROOMS EVERYWHERE AND A LOT OF MOUSQS. 2 THERE IS NO RACISM AND BAD SOSIATY HERE, WE HAVE A LOT OF MUSLIMS TOWNS. and sadly my country supports them, I understand if u don't want to come FREE PALESTINE ❤❤❤

Israel has made no less than 4 offers of peace with the Palestinians of Gaza, they have turned them all down and decided to just continue terrorizing Israel with rockets and bombs for decades - the Muslim extremists do not want peace, have you just tuned into this now?!

? sounds like the Muslims don’t want the Muslims (also what you reply to this comment with I don’t care)

Ireland- cause it doesn’t support the genocide.\nBut always you could consider muslims countries like the UAE or Qatar. \nSome other places to look at are Singapore ( huge muslim population and mosques) ( I felt extremely safe on the street alone at 10pm ) \nMalaysia

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

Does this mean more Muslims will leave US, Canada and other western countries and go back to Muslim countries?
