Brother Saleh bring your family to London bro. You will love it here. It’s brilliant here.

Hope insha'Allah it comes to fusion. ❤ ? good decision for your family.

Ma sha allah\nYou guys doing hijra for protecting to your iman . \n\nMay allah subhanu wa tala bless you and your family, children's with more and more and more barakah in iman \nAnd may allah give you the sweetness of iman.

You should do what is best for your family. But I don't really understand your first reason. As much as Western countries are complicit in what is happening, so are many Muslim countries like UAE, Saudi, Bahrain. And I assume you are definitely planning to move to one of the countries in the Gulf. Leaving aside the government, I have seen more support for the Palestinian cause among the general population in the West that in my whole life in a Middle East country. I was born and brought up in the Middle East. I learnt more about the Palestinian cause infact living in a Western country now. Living in a gulf country, I have infact seen less regards for the underprivileged amongst my Arab friends that I see amongst western people. It is true I am a good Muslim living in a Middle East country, but I realise I am a better human being because I live now in a Western country.

May Allah guide you and your family. We are truly living in difficult times and it is even hard to find a place which is safe for muslims to bring up their young. I would suggest somewhere like qatar as their schooling does not have include what muslims fear, although many schools in qatar and the middle east use the western curriculum and are being westernised. Perhaps homeschooling in a muslim country is the best and ideal solution. I know even non muslims who are fear for their kids now and are moving away ….

I think that for a year you should become a travelling YouTube family, touring the Islamic world and highlighting all the issues & wonders you find.

I live in texas went from a big city but since becoming a mom we moved to a small town. Best decision we ever made my girls play outside and are ssying hi and thank you, learning to live among others with different views or beliefs with respect. My family is a mix of el Salvador and Honduras, my moms family is of Palestine descent who left and went to a small country who was the only one at time that opened their doors due to their religion. Because of that religion and politics stay outside of our home we were all allowed to explore others but respect was always the rule, and i do the same for my girls if they want to learn we research together and teach them respect of all faiths. We do homeschool because in our small town public school is actually thw second choice of how far out we are from the school. We have also still homes in el Salvador and honduras because my family told us from being little this isnt home and to respect the hist country that opens their doors. Blessings to you and your family.

Relax... whether you stay or leave make sure it's because of Allah SWT. And hope the best for you and your family from Allah SWT. May we meet in Jannah

Would the Saleh family are willing to give up the canadian/European passports...and lets know which muslim country passport would they like ....some muslim countries don't give immigration or citizenship

Consider to come and experience the tranquil beauty of life in Abu Dhabi, UAE – a city that embraces you with warmth and safety! ? Picture yourself surrounded by the graceful domes of numerous masjids, creating a serene backdrop for your spiritual journey. It's more than just a city; it's a place where family values thrive, with robust laws ensuring the well-being of every child and woman.\n\nBut it's not just about the quiet moments; Abu Dhabi bursts with life through a tapestry of activities for all seasons. And the best part? Your hard-earned money stays with you, thanks to the absence of income tax – a city that lets you build your dreams without financial worries and the place where you can find Islamic banks.\n\nCome be a part of a community that cherishes safety, spirituality, and the joy of family living. ??

We are Muslim Egyptian family, living in Berlin. we are considering the same move. same reasons almost exactly. I would advice you to check these countries in our list\n\n- Spain (mainly Barca); Weather, HUGE Muslim heritage, great stand against the genocide in Palestine, easier language to learn for english speakers.\n- Qatar (mainly Doha): Palestine, weather (a bit hot though), living quality, Muslim economic powerhouse.

Your number 1 reason to leave Canada is something I have been seriously thinking of too. When I first came to Canada it played a peace-keeping role. Gone are those days, it’s tearing me apart, being a part of such a country. I came from India about 40 years ago. And, everyone knows what is the present condition of India. I would leave in a heartbeat to Malaysia or somewhere else warm but my son has set roots (but, not happy with the direction this country is taking) in this country so he’s not moving anywhere so as an extension I am here.\n\nYou are making a good decision to move while your children are still young.\n\nGood luck wherever it’s that you are moving.\n\nCanada is losing a hard-working, entrepreneurial family, while at the same time they are bringing in people who really have no loyalty to this country. \n\nI totally agree with all you are saying…

InshaAllah Palastine will be free and I will move and live there with my whole family of 25+ ????

Masha-Allah Amazing Family! May Allah SWT protect and bless you immensely for your efforts.\n\nAmeen ❤️?❤️

MashaAllah IM so happy and proud of you, I can only imagine how hard it is to move outta country but may Allah help you and make your journey easy I wish you best of luck ❤ such an incredible family and inspirational video ..

Salam to all! I would love to see where you guys pick. My husband and I are also considering other countries. Would love to see videos on how life expense is residential requirements to become a permanent resident of that particular country. education where it stands if the children were to leave that country and come back into the States. If you guys can elaborate on these topics, it would be so useful for those who are attempting to go to the same countries. What would be some financial friendly international home schooling programs that may be parents can enroll in until they are settled permanently in the country of their choice. JAK may Allah make this journey easy for your family and bless your family with the best of both worlds for your intention.

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 am apart of the lgbtq+ community so I am not sure if I am completely welcome (I just want to peacefully exist with our rights as humans not convert people to the community) but that does not stop me from respecting you, your family, your religion, and your choices of doing what is best for you and your family. I have watched many of your videos and have learned more about your faith (thank you so much for the education). I only wish you the safest of journey and a wonderful bright future for you and your family (along with any others that may make similar journeys or even trying to stick it out in hopes for a better future). I am so sorry you and everyone else in your faith has faced such injustice and discrimination. I am from the US and I am disgusted by my government and individuals that support the genocide that is happening in Palestine. Once again I wish you all the very best.

I know of many families leaving because of exact same reasons, including how the gov handled covid and lockdowns. No one has ever regrette their decision to leave. They are much happier. The only thing that is better in Canada is you can get large plots of land, e.g. 50 acres with a home. That is difficult to find elsewhere.

I hear your reasons and I feel like you are doing the right thing. May Allah bless you and your beautiful family in this next chapter!

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 !

Anyone reading this comment please make dua for my family to be able to move to an Islamic country for the same reasons as saleh family but because we’re unable economically and financially we can’t

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 ??

Great for you. There are many families can’t afford to move. Give them encouragement to stay and how to improve their lives

My family (myself husband and our two small kids) inshallah plan to leave the US in the summer after the school year. Our 5 reasons are identical to your top 5.

I think Malaysia would be a good option for your family.

It's funny how you brought up the exact same points as my husband and I discussed about our life in Canada. Our vision changed so much when our baby came to this world. You both confirmed that all of our worries weren't hypothetical. It's the harsh reality of Canada. Thanks a lot for making this super transparent video. ❤ May Allah make your journey easy and bless all you and your beautiful family. ❤ (We plan on moving back home in Turkey)

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 swt be with your family. \nI made Hijrra in September to Saudi from the USA. I was close to where you are in Canada. Spokane/ Pend Orielle County in Washington.

Love your family ...come to the Caribbean ❤❤❤❤❤

Wishing your family all the best! :)

Salam,\nI am British married a Bahraini and have lived in Bahrain for 35 years.\nMy children went to university in Uk but I have to say what a culture shock it was for them Al Humdolia they all finished their studies and returned home and married and have children of their own.\nIn Sha Allah your move is for the best for you and your family ????

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 ❤

I wish you and your family the best. I hope you find a new home xxx

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.

Mashallah, may Allah make it easier for your family, ameen ??????????

Good luck to u n ur family!\nMay Allah make things easy for u!

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.

Assalamu Alaikum! Saleh Family lots of love and respect for the sake of Allah. I really appreciate your this Sunnah Hijrah. May Allah make it easy with Khair and Affiyah for you people. Let us know what are the good options to move because I am living in Germany and I am also really worried about my children’s. JazakAllahu Khairan!

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).

Home is wherever you make it. What’s important is that your family stay strong and safe. Always together with good health and prosperity!\nWhere ever you live, I hope you always have peace!\nFind your piece of happiness!\nGod bless you my brother and sister!\nWe will support you wherever you go!!!!

May Almighty Allah protect you and your family\nMay Almighty Allah bless your family

May Allah bless you and your family as you embark on this new journey. It is important to seek an environment that aligns with your Islamic values and provides a safe and nurturing space for your children. May Allah guide you to a place where you can thrive and continue to practice your faith with ease. Ameen.

Masha allah... Masha allah... May allah protect ur family and bless with the best

I'm excited to see the next video, may Allah bless your family and your new journey❤

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.

I’m sending this video to my husband right away!!! He thinks I’m a bit nuts for wanting the leave America, with our two children who are 2nd generation. I pray for the safely of your family and accomplishments of all your endeavors!! ??????

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.
