It makes perfect sense to want to get away from the things you've mentioned. The world is not the same as it was even 10 years ago. That's the last time I visited home. (Abbotsford, BC) I've lived in the States for many years now and boy was I shocked how things have changed here in Canada. I realize you and your family don't use Bible, but just to give you a biblical perspective on things that very well may parallel scripture from the Quran, at 2 Timothy 3:1-5 it says... 1 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. \nYou may be able to get away from the moral decline of where you live now, but honestly, these things are going to be world wide eventually if they aren't already. But there will be a time when God (for me his name is Jehovah), will step in and fix things. In the meantime, It's awesome you are putting your family first. It's sad that that is not the norm anymore.

Wow so much respect to both of you! Firstly I want to say your a great couple, you make great educational videos that myself and my wife have both learned from. Your both brilliant representations of what a good Muslim couple is. It's brilliant that you guys are fortunate enough to move away from a country that supports genocide! (Not everyone is as lucky). May Allah SWT give you both and your families greater success... And please don't stop making these fab videos!!

Mashaallah may Allah give u peace and happiness where ever u go but plz think twice don't go from Canada instead try to call many more Muslims in Canada make them settle down so automatically one day with Muslim majority inshallah Canada will become a Muslim country and that day all ur complaints will go away plz understand I am talking about the generation to cm

I think you should give Africa a chance. Specifically, Ethiopia (once things are calm again) Senegal, Zanzibar, Tanzania. I'm obviously biased but I think our values here would match with yours. Anyway, wherever you end up, may it be home.

Sorry guys, all of the reasons that you mentioned except maybe the inflation (which I think is temporary and happening around the world), are the reasons that you SHOULD STAY in Canada. If you leave then you are giving up challenges and trying to find an easy way out. Please remember nothing comes easy and if you leave Canada then you are not going to be part of the struggle to change the mindsets of Canadian society that Muslims can be also accepted in Canada as they are, which may not come during your or your children's lifetime but it will come eventually maybe during your grandchildren or great grandchildren's lifetime and you need plant the seed for that now otherwise there will be no fruitful outcome. It needs lots of patience and initial suffering for a group of minority or downtrodden people to be accepted within the mainstream societly. If the Muslim people start leaving Canada just like you guys then there will be fewer Muslims for this struggle to bring changes in Canadian society. I think you are escapign the struggle and suffering and you guys can affford that but you are leaving many of them behind who cannod afford to leave Canada and it will make their lives even worse and the future generation. You need to look at the bigger picture and and the future. Anyway, this is my personal openion, which you or your audiences may not agree.

exactly - Thank you, why would suggest that Palestinians have to leave their land and become refugees? how about giving them their independence-- you hypocrites! i didn't see suggesting that Ukrainians leave Ukraine!!

This is the brilliant decision may Allah give you guys strength wishing you very best❤

Are they giving up their Canadian citizenship?

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.

Don't worry guys ALLHA is with you always we live in USA ita same for us too may ALLHA give you more power AMEEN

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

This is not their country and should be deported, this is England \nDoes not give you the right to imposse yr laws, its british law

You are right, all over the world there's inflation but in Canada there's no savings, huge tax, no job security all over Canada, where we can get lay off after years of hard work in a company. Canada encourages people to be in debts, tons of credit cards. As a Muslim I think the same for the upbringing of kids in Canada which is very difficult almost impossible. May Allah help the Muslims community in Canada, giving us guidance and contenant. You are bless that you take a goid decision at the right time. May Allah help you and make things easy for you❤

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

I am from Pakistan studying medicine. I had a plan to give usmle or plab exam to move to USA or UK in future. But seeing your video I have instantly burried my plan. No matter how difficult situations are in Pakistan, atleast I can practice my religion freely and that I don't have to worry about my future kids getting contaminated by filthy environment and filthy education. Allah above everything ?

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 ❤

AoA Bismillah SubhaanAllah you are an inspiration to us Alllllll. May Allah SWT give you peace. Go for it definitely

7:18 that's how a father should be.... You Should Give Courage Classes to All the Fathers Out there..

Amen....stop calling for the Palestinians to give up

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

Roflmao, west Europe become a joke. Follow Slavic example, they bother women they meet half of male population in area and need ambulance transport, they attack gays, gsys will organise pretty fast and form groups and fight back.. they kill our pets, well they will meet stafords and dobermen from not so nice groups of native people. West people must stop being afraid to be labeled as this or that and retake control and demand changes. There is no Muslim areas in your cities,it is your cities they are guests allowed to stay and invitation can be canceled and rules for gaining citizenship must be tougher for non Europeans all over Europe, stop giving them social wellfare and force them all, including women to work, stop giving them child support after second child. They will stop coming when they actually will have to work and earn and live by laws and customs unless they want to be deported..\n\nIn my neighborhood was one family, trash thrower over balcony, kid peeing from balcony, they did not realise we shared state with Muslims and have big Roma population which lives by their rules and that we know how to deal it before it goes to far. Trash he threw people collected added theirs, rang the door and threw it all into their apartament and told him to forget everything from where he came, to start act like civilised human being otherwise their lives will become hell and if his kid pees one more time thru balcony he will not have an organ to pee from.. no issues since then.. they understand only the language of their own mentality... Force...

What you have stated in this video about your day to day life experience has horrified me, really it means a lot to us like Asian Indians, as, we get all kind of skilled technicians plumbers carpenters etc here in our country for reasonable cost, actually I was planning for my son to Canada, but now I give up ??? thanks for sharing your experience

Why would anyone leave their homeland? The land of Palestine is 'holy land' to the Palestinians. The Palestinian cause is a holy cause to the Palestinians. No-one gives up on their land! Would you give your home to the thief who held you at gunpoint or trashed your home or murdered your children?

The arabs of gaza need to leave there's no hope where they are ... Israel will never give in.

He did what every politician does give you word salad and won’t give a straight forward answer; it’s basically no it’s not the Arab country responsible to take in refugees; Gaza is there home and Israel need to cease fire and have peace talks

Last time when some countries took Palestine refuges they will probably told why Saudi guy diplomatically said no to give them refuge ?! \nAsk.Egypt and Jordon all there Islamic brothers hood hangover gone in seconds

Israe has tried for decades to give Gaza to egyot to govern. Then they could have kept their land. Arabs doht want them because their radical and because they're pawns

Oh they want to get out, you won't take them so you give excuses.

These are the very supporters of the aggressor and acting to give an impression as if they are innocent. It's some of them even who alerted Israel of the defence attacks of Hamas.

Ho are you to say they don't want to leave?\nThe Arab world didn't even give them the chance to leave

The Palestinians have on many occasions since 1948 been offered the opportunity to live side by side with Israel in peace, but they have always rejected it. \nThe case in point was in 2005 when Israeli settlers of Gaza left on masse and the Palestinians were given the whole strip including the opportunity to be self-sustaining economically. The Israelis left them greenhouses and an infrastructure and they were also supplied with millions in aid that would have made it possible for them to prosper, but what did they choose to do instead? October 7th, 2023 terror attacks happened. They chose to arm themselves and decimate Israeli civilian communities.\n\nNow that there is war and many Palestinians are dying, the Saudis and other oil-rich Arab nations, who are neighbours of the Palestinians won't lift a finger to help - i.e. give refuge to members of the Islamic Ummah, who needs their help. Oh, they will give financially, but that is no real sacrifice to them whatsoever. They have no problems in spending millions to sign football players for their league. If they really cared for their Palestinian brothers they would do more than that. That is simply hypocritical.

The land that was given to the Palestinians was done so by the Israeli Government in 2005. Haamas was elected, and they burned all of the green homes that were left when JEWS were evicted to give the Palestinians the portion of Land they wanted...this video fails to also give the complete truth regarding the biblical argument of who the nation of Israel belongs to...The Sudi FM KNOWS this..and sides with his Arab brothers in the disagreement of Isaac, and Ishmael.

This problem will never end. Anything you can say of the Arabs, you can say of the pro Israelis too. For example, why don’t the pro Israelis give the Jews a place to live in America or Europe and allow them to even have their own Israeli country there?

Lmao...what they will push for!!!is absolute nothing...and people giving bravo in the comments section for his command of english language?.those who stand in neutrality are siding with the oppression.

Did this brother just educate her on the right words to give back? What a question?

Lol what about giving the Palestinians a choice genius?

As the son of Palestinians, just as the Jewish people have a “birthright” to return to Israel. The Palestinians living in Palestine have a right to their homes and land. My parents left willingly to give me a safer life and I love them for that but those who cannot do so should not be demonized for refusing to leave their homes and effectively make themselves stateless and homeless. It’s not up to Arab nations alone to take refugees. It’s up to the entire civilized world to stop the killing through sanctions and humanitarian aid. Killing of civilians on both sides is senseless and goes against god, no matter the religion. Palestinians do not want to leave, they want to live in peace.

It’s not an immigration it’s n INVASION. How many of those immigrants were single men between 14-35. Not a lot of families and it’s ridiculous for the American taxpayers to have to food, cloth, house, and provide Health care for all of them as well as give them money. \nSorry Sleepy Joe but you really Fawked Up on your decision on the wall and look where it’s gotten you. \nBUILD THE WALL AND STOP ? THE IMMIGRATION.

So fake... They NEVER give the palastinians people the voice to say if they want to leave israel . they certainly would prefer to leave.

No Muslim country is doing anything to help them. A number have helped and supported Hamas resulting in recent events. The Palestinians elected Hamas and celebrated the events of Oct 7th. Hamas and Palestine want Israel gone because it is Jewish. \n\nAny number of Muslim countires could open their borders and give the Palestinians temporary refuge - but they refuse. \n\nHamas could face Israel in open combat away from the Palestinians but they won’t. They want them as tv propaganda and collateral damage and human shields.\n\nFact.

It pisses me off that all that imam or whatever he is can say is “this will cause islamophobia” like that’s all\nthat matters. What about the civil liberties of the people who were harassed? He doesn’t give a shit about them. The self appointed “Muslim police” are trying to overthrow Western society and should be imprisoned or deported.

Lol.. even Arab countries refuse to give refuge for their muslim brothers and sisters. And here in Malaysia they try to bring in those refugees while their own ppl are suffering.. so kepoh!

I find it so amusing that Canadians always have to preface everything with self righteous boasting about how multicultural they are, how their city has a world class this and that—in this case—film festival etc. etc. I have never been anywhere in Europe for example where first anyone even mentions Canada much except to say that there are a lot of trees. And no one in real cities with a culture like Paris, Madrid, Berlin harp on how world class they are or how multicultural they are. Also, in terms of immigration, give me a break—you have obviously not travelled anywhere—go to Berlin, Paris, New York etc. to see people from all over the world. Canadians have been told through the internal propaganda that Canada is the best country in the world—but it’s not.

Translation: Not my problem; not my concern; not my family; I won't give a dime of my BILLIONS to help my poorer cousins. WHy should I? It's the world's problem, not mine. \n\nThis is the way EVERY OTHER ARAB NATION FEELS about their poorer relatives. You take care of old grandmother, you take care of sick mother, you take care of starving children. We can't spare one thin dime from our BILLIONS. \n\nThis is the way they are taught from infancy. The charitable acts of caring is from the Judeo-Christain mindset world view, NOT the Arabic world!

What a BS answer from a Pariah Country. \n\nHow did he give a good answer? He don’t. He gave an answer like a politician. \n\nYou’re telling me that most gazans wouldn’t give up the ruble for peace in another country? BS. \nIt should always be remembered that Saudi Arabia funded the 9/11 attacks on the USA. Lest we forget!

If Palestinians did not leave their land then who are those people protesting against Israel in Europe and America. They always want to go to other countries but only Europe and America give asylum but no Arab country accepts them.

.Give back their Land.

That is BS! The western world take in refugees from war torn countries continuously. When so many are being killed why not take them in and give them safe haven until they can return. Self serving agenda.

Ppl come to our border bc our government give billions to help other countries already. They gave billions to that racist country of Ukraine with all those nazi’s they put in the military and gave billions to Israel after they killed over 20k people including innocent women and children. Maybe if they stop helping racist countries, these others wouldn’t try to flood the borders illegally.

Aka, we will not give refuge.
