I'm canadain as well and we moved 101/2 yrs ago for the same reasons from 5 to 2. Wish u best of luck. Putting ur kids first is the right thing to do.

Absolutely spot on and totally understandable!!!! I respect u for the decision u are making and i would surely do the same! It will be one of the best decisions u have ever made! Good luck.. may Allah make it easy for u&your family!! May u always be happy! ❤

All the five points are okay. Where ever you move there are challenges. If one is getting a job in the middle east, go ahead for short term. Muslims have still different problems in every Muslim country. Good luck and best wishes and prayers.

Wa Alaikumussalam \nWish you all the best to Saleh Family. Can't disagree with you on all the points you raised. I wish I could leave too with my Family but have some serious constraints that don't allow me to leave.

I leaved in Canada for over 20 years and noticed the drastic changes you mentioned. I still have 4 of my kids in Canada, They are grown up and have their own families now. As I traveled to few places for professional raison I always been on family status because I wanted to be close to my wife and 6 children. The best place I liked is the sultanate of Oman. It’s a conservative Islamic environment and people are very respective, very nice and welcoming. The only thing that bothers a bit is the heat in summer time but other than that it’s the best place in the world. By the way 3 of my children are planning to leave Canada to one of the gulf countries and I wish them good luck. May Allah guide you to the right path and place to rise your kids and practice your faith at ease.

Masha Allah , guess it was not an easy decision for you both to make but may Allah bring the best out of it, reward your hijrah and grant you lots of khayr. Aameen

Best decision a Muslim can make for there growing family ❤\nIm still hoping to retire in a Muslim country \nIn Shaa Allah ?

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.

UAE,QATAR,SAUDI THE BEST PLACE FOR EVERYONE..

May Allah Guide yous to make the correct decision and increase yous in Imaam, Depite all the apparent difficulties we have in SA, Our Islamic Education is amongst the BEST in the world even better than most so called Muslim Countries , not for one second suggeting you move to SA , MAY ALLAH ACCEPT YOUR HUMBLE INTENTIONS

I'm not Muslim but I have family and extended family that are. I'm in Ireland, there is a large Muslim community in Dublin. My grand nephew's is named Salah. He is adorable, they spend most of the year in Kuwait and school breaks in Ireland. Can I just say, most 'normal' people, regardless of religion share the views you have expressed here, on every count. Best wishes on your travels. Maybe you could check out Ireland. However, I think you will find what you are leaving behind exists to a greater or lesser degree throughout the world now. You may only find home and peace within. Take care. ❤️??

As a Muslim british pakistani, and a father of four, i am constantly thinking of making hijrah to a muslim country, i respect you soo much for the decision you are making so best of luck, may Allah swt make it easy for you. Ameen.

So true sister and brother, i am a mom of three in spain and i am thinking the same as you are, waiting for you upcomming vlogs regarding best countries to live for us as muslim, may allah paak help you in making best decision, stay blessed❤

I love this! Love that you are not giving your future generations away in service to these countries ❤ may Allah ease your transition and make it for the best!

best plan

MaShaAllah ❤ although it would be best to not wear makeup (especially lipstick) on camera ❤

It's so sad that you even have to consider this, but you need to do what you feel is right for you and your family. This world is so scary right now and it's only going to get worse before it gets better. I wish you the best of luck in your search and I hope that you can find a safe and inviting place to move.

Alsalam Alykom Saleh family,\n\nI totally understand your reasons. And wish you the best in your life.\n\nI recommend the following countries:\n* Arabic speaking countries\nQatar - Saudi Arabia- Egypt \n\n* Non Arabic speaking countries\nTurkey- Malaysia- Indonesia - Albania\n\nMay Allah do the best for you.

Brother and sister Saleh, may Allah Almighty guide you in this journey to the best environment, and give you peace and eiman. Amen. Free Palestine ??✌️❤️

Madina is the best choice ❤️

MashaAllah best decisions. That is my plan, too, InshaAllah. May Allah make it easy for you.

What a great decision ❤ wish you guys all the BEST ❤❤

Masha'Allah! I truly wish you the best in your life! May Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala protect you wherever you are! ?❤ & Free Palestine ???️?

You two seem like some cool people who I would want to hang out with! I am a white Christian American. I cannot fathom the struggles and fears you face daily. I wish you the best on your travels and finding the perfect place that feels like home!

This is the best decision you made guys, I wish I could make the do the same

Best decision ever\nYou will not regret it\nMay Allah bless your family

Inshallah all the best to u guys! Quite a brave decision to leave familiar surroundings n move to a different part of the world…. May Allah make it easy for u…. Be prepared for the culture shock cuz not everywhere in the World is as streamlined as it is in Canada… I’m talking about daily affairs such getting a drivers license, buying property, etc…. Looking forward to see how u guys navigate all of these things!

Surprisingly I agree with you, especially with points 2&4 - I too am thinking about moving out of Canada because of all of this - best of luck!

Good for you!!!\nWe have been considering moving too and are now pretty determined. But we don’t know where to as it seems that soo many muslim countries have taken a disappointing stance regarding this genocide. Wishing you all the best and may Allah protect you

May Allah facilitate what's best for you ??

Sad to hear. We're actually moving as PRs soon there. I have plans to move again in the long run to a better Muslim country than I'm currently in (Bangladesh). I wish you guys the best. May I ask which province you are currently residing in?

It's great that you're going to explore counties before making the final move destination. I'm looking forward to finding out which country you'll settle in. Best wishes ❤️

I wish you all the best, I believe that Allah will help you all the time ?

I think we all know Israel ?? does not want to live there land too. So it is best to promote peace and not pick sides. The Lord Jesus Christ said love your neighbours and who are our neighbours the people who are of different faith from us and neighbours are also our enemies. So we can't false Israel ?? and Palestine to leave there land but let's pray for them to live in harmony.

As a Christian in the USA I feel you. 100% the indoctrination in schools is just too much. And I agree with Will, no government is going to tell me HOW to parent MY KIDS. Things are progressively getting worse here too QUICKLY… best of luck ?????

Ma sha'a Allah I'm with you guys , we are leaving Switzerland ?? with my converted wife to a Muslim country, For our kids and for us . I wish all the Muslim families will have the courage to do the same .wish you and your family the best . ?

wishing you the very best.

I live in Sweden, we have the same problems here. I hope me and my husband can take our kids one day and move. We are thinking about Erbil, Iraq. Maybe that could be a place for your family too. All my best wishes to your lovely family.

as an agnostic living as a southern friend (US), may you find the best option for you and your family. I can’t imagine how hard it is for you to parent in this world, and in an area where your faith is truly equal, or the main focus. \nMay you find peace and love and community quickly.

All your reasons are valid. May Allah guide you to the best destination for you.

You stated 5 valid reasons and I wish you all the best in your next phase of life where you are rightly prioritising your children. It is different times now and I'd love to one day make the change too. My preference would be Qatar, Turkeye, Abu Dhabi or Dubai......

Sorry but none of the reason you shared are enough to make you leave your country. I'm a Muslim and I travel the world, today Canada is the best place to be.

What you’re doing is commendable. Ensuring your children grow up in an environment that is full of love, that is safe and Islamic is the best thing you can do for your children and for yourselves.\n\nWish I could do the same. Perhaps one day Insha’Allah.

I absolutely love how conscious parents have become. We also made a move to different part of our country South Africa for the purpose of growing in our deen. Best decision

The UK is the best place in the West for muslims . I am also considering moving mostly because of the weather and society

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.

Alhamdulillah. So happy to hear about this decision. Insha’allah we will also do Hijra soon ( we are in Germany for the past 6 years ). \nMy husband grew up in the UAE and I lived there for 8 years … it used to be nice to live there but I would not recommend it anymore. And on top of that their government also supports Israhell. \nIf I had the choice I would choose Indonesia or Malaysia. Or one of the smaller islands like Seychelles. \nMay Allah guide you to the best place for your family.

Come to South Africa, it's not perfect here, we do have lots of problems but you will hear your 5 times a day azaan, islaam is strong, our madressahs are tops, hijab is never a problem.\nWe have the best constitution in the world. \n\nI'm shocked when I hear about a simple thing like hijab that we wear freely and in the workplace if you so wish.

This is the best, I wish I could do Hijra with my whole family and go to Indonesia or in any Islam country. \nAs a Muslim this is our duty to do Hijra to a Muslim nation

I know taking this decision was hard for you, but I am sooo happy you are leaving Canada and coming to a Muslim country. Yes, there are many downsides in muslim countries as well, but it all comes down to what you are willing to give up on, and I belive you are chosing to hold on to what actuallymatters. I hope you find the perfect place for you. I have a feeling it will be the best decision ever????
