I wish you the best ?\nWe, (me my husband and my 7 years old girl) live in the UK Kent county BUT for the last year I stayed to think about moving. We are originally from Bulgaria but Turks and came to UK 10 years ago, we just bought our house 3 years ago, basically created everything from scratch. It is bot an easy task to start from the beginning again but I believe that if Allah maid to think about moving that means He will help you.\nAs a hijabi muslim woman in a community that there are not other Muslims around I can say I feel relatively safe BUT some days I notice the look of hatred in n some peoples eyes. The other thing my girl started to question some topics they have been receiving at school and it is a constant battle for me to keep explaining to her the right and wrong. More over she is listening for now but not sure for future and this scares me.\nAs you said praying and being a practicing Muslim is difficult here as well. We are Turks but do not have Turkish nationality but when we go for religious holidays in Istanbul I feel completely different, it just feels like I have to live there near the mosque. My inner me begging me when we are in Istanbul in the old part of the city to stay there forever. \nI really know what you feel and want. I am looking for Muslim countries where possible we can move BUT unfortunately I made the conclusion that there is not a place even in a Muslim land that we can live the way of peaceful practicing and being a Muslim what we want to be. \nJust advise be careful with the Arab world, other than that if you look at Türkiye I would say do your research really well, not in every town there you can live your religion. Azerbaijan is excellent I would say but they are still under the influence of Russia. \nSo really difficult decision, may Allah guide you. Amin

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

Come to the GCC. Bahrain is a nice country to live in. Or UAE or Qatar. We have a Pakistani school if you want also here in Bahrain a whole community. The people are actually nice

I wish you brother and sister the best ensha’a Allah. I am Egyptian American and I totally understand you and feel you now. Dubai might not be the best option, Go Egypt if you manage to make a good living, Egyptians are warm, many are well educated and we have some OK schools. In Egypt you can joint the countless committed Muslim communities where you can raise a healthy kid who knows deen. May Allah guide you to the right decision, Ameeen

We moved to the UK a little over two years back and now we’re seriously considering to move again probably once we’ve received our passports just because we’re not completely okay with the situation here. Especially in schools where they’re teaching all sorts of things. I don’t have children as of yet but these things do worry me a lot.

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. ❤

As a Turkish I would say don’t choose Turkiye!! My country system is secular education system so worse…I lived USA but I grew up in Turkiye I know the schools!!Yes it’s safe no school shootings like USA but the education is not good a especially for religious people I’m religious and long time ago before the Erdogan never allowed to hijab in schools now Erdogan changed but if the other secular politicians win everything changes very quickly I know it !!!Right now economy is going very bad in Turkiye and everything is so high prices !!!I love my country!!But I can tell the truth

May Allah protect your Family.\nI suggest you to Hijrah to Indonesia.\nTropical Country (Rainy and Dry), hundred thousand Mosque, 5 times adzan guaranteed, hundred thousand Islamic school and Uni.\nExciting Ramadhan Tradition, Extra Salary for Employees (THR) etc.

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 just moved to Karachi, Pakistan, and life is just wonderful, the best schools, my 10 year old niece is making video games, and she goes to Haq academy. The tuition fees is 25000 rupees per month, rent for a nice house/apartment is around $500.00, you can live here comfortably for about $1200/month. Please don’t believe all the negative comments about Pakistan, also the healthcare is the best in the world. Please check it out for yourself. See you in Pakistan!!

I live in Canada I recommend you to visit Surrey BC in Canada once again if you see the crowd of Surrey and all people there are Punjabi you will be shocked because in Surrey there are really less Canadians in my school also 80% of the people are immigrants and the less 20% are Canadians

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 ❤❤❤

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).

Australia, your have Islamic schools also

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.

Hi!... We are currently going through the same phase, decided to leave Ottawa, but still planning where to go next. I am currently home schooling 3 kids and juggling time between them, a toddler and home... Hope things work out well for you ❤

I have seen a few influencers leave Canada and go to Dubai. You work from home so it might be easier. My son is finishing high school here in the U.S. He finishes in 1.5 years, and then we are done too. Chicago is dangerous and I want a more peaceful life. We have looked and Dubai is it.

Where are you going to? You didn't mention the place. I was planning to go to a different country for couple years, but I thought education would be very expensive in other countries like Turkey. If there are any countries English schools are cheap and affordable, let me know.

Just wondering what things in schools that are being taught without parents knowledge that you're talking about ? I'm genuinely curious.

I am a Christian, and I totally understand why you would want to move. Western society is going crazy as far as I can tell. It seems like people snapped into a state of crazy after being locked up for Covid. I live in Georgia, USA, and I agree with you about the genocide that our government is also turning a blind eye to the truth. I just don't understand why people can be full of such hate. I am so ashamed of our government. I am older, and I worry about my great granddaughter who will start school next year. I see so much of this transgender being pushed on public school children. I just can't understand what a person's sex preference has to do with preschool or any public education. This is something that should be handled at home by a parent or parents. \nI could not even imagine what you go through trying to find a safe place to pray 5 times a day. It's easy for people like me to just look around and see the Christmas decorations that are everywhere but disregard what other religions feel like when they are never considered as a part of the community. I will pray for your family to be able to live where you hear the call to prayer 5 times a day and find somewhere warm on that I agree. I hate the cold.

None Muslim here. I’m so glad your putting your children first. I’m 60 and going to be blessed with my first grandchild in the spring. I’m really anxious as to how things will be for this baby when he goes to school. We can only do our best to keep our children safe. ?

Whichever country you move to can you kindly make a Vlog on the expenses kids school universities laws basic requirement to move there ? Jazak Allah and May Allah make it easy and a blessing for you

Im American and sad to say i hate being american i hate being a westerner for the fact america has gotten horrible with high crimes , drugs our Government is corrupted our judicical system is terrible and america took Jesus out of schools , the public plus they encouraged the Lgbtq groups doing book readings , teaching our children to become transgender and i want to move out of america i want to move to Africa to the mother land i always wanted to live were jesus actually walked and taught the gospel..❤

As a Christian woman what is being taught in schools is distressing to me to. Why do we have to see other people’s sexuality/ orientation on display everywhere all the time? I don’t care what others do but in public?

A rich country is where everything is affordable, houses, food, healthcare, schools, less taxes, less stress and family oriented community. No matter if their currency is lower than 1st world countries. I love living in my 3rd world country, such a paradise on earth.... where people stay in tents in the weekends in the mountains or beaches for chilling out.

Here is a novel idea- how about we tell Hamas not to start a war they can't win and then refuse to surrender while they hide in schools, hospitals, and densely populated areas. Hamas attacked civilians to start this war, and they prolong the suffering of palestinians by refusing to release hostages and/or surrender. Hamas essentially eliminated any hope for a two state solution and supercharged misery and suffering for palestinians. The logical conclusion is that Hamas is the enemy of palestinians.

Coming to Vancouver very soon. My son is schooling therejj

He lived and went to school in UK

Canada seems to have no future. Its young generations have been damaged beyond repair by the woke state education system and the media. The danger for the kids lurks not in the streets, but in school rooms. If you care about your children and your family, stay away from Canada - that country is bent on destroying them. The growing economic hardships are only side-effects of the moral bankruptcy of the nation. Canada will serve as an important object lesson about the fruits of a successfull neo-Marxist revolution. This may be the last useful role it has to play in the world.

Right way for the Sikh brother to do this was, get permission from school management to carry this in school premises as it is religious. Had he done that, this issue wouldnt have occurred.

Because Canada is garbage, liberal dictatorship.\nWhen they started to block people’s accounts in a banks for their opinion, it was red flag.\nPlus education in schools are very bad.\nThey promote perversions to kids instead to teach them academics.\nOpioid crisis, drug addicted everywhere, marginals everywhere and homeless in every city.\nLondon Ontario for example is absolutely full of homeless, they are literally everywhere. \nCanada is a country without any moral.

So, what’s most of the $$$ that has been given to Gaza over the years been used for? Hospitals? Schools and universities? Old folks homes? Orphanages? Housing? Infrastructure (roads, bridges, desalination plants, power plants, airports, sea ports, etc…)? Fine dining? Tourism? Agriculture? Seriously, Just wondering…

Aunty ji woh rule hai school bus ko na cross karna. Gawar jaahil.

This tosser is promoting the same immigration Ponzi scheme that Trudeau government is running. By simply increasing the population year on year you magically increase GDP without bothering to increase productivity. To keep this Ponzi scheme afloat immigration has to continually increase year on year. The drawbacks are critical housing shortages. School place and hospital bed shortages. A breakdown in social cohesion and trust. And of course ballooning government debt and skyrocketing interest repayments.

That's why you send your kids to good schools. ?

All people complaining about cost of living are covered in tattoos walk with the latest I phone and probably live in a big city! I own a house have 4 kids and my wife is ft in school! It’s hard but I make a good wage and work 50 + hrs a week starting at 5 in the morning!! People are being lazy

A note for whomever captioned this…no reporter is schooled, the journalist asks a valid question, is polite and respectful and gets an answer with the why, how and what of his response. This is an excellent exchange between the media and a lawmaker, quite surprising from the Saudi’s.

Hello Diamond, please i have an undergraduate degree in agricultural science which i got in Ghana. Please do you think its possible for me to apply for my masters in Computer Science or i should just apply as a high school student. I have done a little research on Agricultural Science in Canada and it seems you don't really need to have a certificate to work in the agricultural field so i feel it might be a waste of money. What do you think

Meanwhile the whole entire situation was started by Hamas. It is Hamas hiding in the hospitals and schools and homes. Maybe the Palestinians need to kick Hamas out and the attacks will stop. You think there weren't any civilian casualties during WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, the 100 year war in the Middle East?

Schooled at Eton or Cambridge.

Why did the Palestinians attack Israel to start the war ? The Palestinians teach their kids to hate Israel from the beginning! \nIsrael doesn’t teach their kids to hate Palestinians in school.

Dear 5th estate, I am Ubash, a citizen of New Zealand, a primary school teacher. This documentary is true when it comes to North India, would you be able to do a similar study with South India, you will see a whole different approach, South Indian students hardly fall for these actually.... may be after a case study, you will see the difference between North and South India.

I think he and our FM EAM Jaishankar went to same school ?

He sounds old school English

????? 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!

This guy probably went to Northern Arizona University... Iran knows where & when some go to school, hospital & vaction in USA, that's what is the real worry for this group.

How much proof of funds did I need to show for I get visa to study in this school?

Great, what about sending money and/or building schools, hospitals and infrastructure in Gaza, for the Muslim brothers?
