    Exchange Student - Me!

    Report bad ads?

    Assalamu Alaikam Waramatuallah Wabarakatu brothers and sisters

    I have talked to my parents and they OK'ed me going to the Middle East for six months or something as an exchange student.

    One problem though, we don't know where to begin. I am interested in either Afghanistan, Pakistan, or Saudi Arabia. My friend has some family in Pakistan and Afghanistan, so I am keen on those two counties

    Does anyone know how I could become an Exchange student? I just really have no clue. I will be talking to my guidance counselor inshallah tomorrow about this.

    Inshallah I'll become a better Muslim It's always been my dream ever since reverting to Islam to go there. It would prepare me heavily to go there again after college or highschool.

    Re: Exchange Student - Me!

    Salam alaikum brother,

    MashaAllah, may Allah reward you for this feeling you have. When you go, I'd advise you to remember, that the Muslims, do NOT represent Islam. In the countries you named, you will see and find many things which are not enjoined by Islam. Ofcourse, by name these are 'Muslim' countries, but sadly that is not what is followed or practiced.

    Of all things, you must be aware of much of the bid3ah, and shirk, in the cover of Islam. Before you finally go, do become make urself aware (we have many good brothers and sisters from those countries) of these issues inshaAllah.

    About how you can be an exchange student, I really have no idea but I didnt even know this idea existed in countries like pak, afgh, and ksa!!

    I havent read any of your other posts. Maybe am making u repeat yourself (sorry!!) But where are you from and how long have u been muslim?

    I hope you have a grand and enlightening trip inshaAllah

    Assalamu Alaikam Waramatuallah Wabakatu Brothers and Sisters,

    From the research I have done, the closest country I have found is Turkey

    I have no idea what an Exchange Student is?! I'd advice you to go to Saudi Arabia. Its the best place to learn the deen. Visite Makkah and Madina Insha Allah.

    I hope this site will be useful... Apparently I think the only Muslim countries you can visit there are Turkey and Egypt... But I could be wrong...

    http://www.afs.org/AFSI/content/page.php?uid=50

    ^^^There you gotta sign up and they'll send you an e-mail telling you everything...

    And while you're at it, check this one:

    http://www.afs.org/AFSI/content/page.php?uid=3

    If you don't live in the U.S., click on the above link (2nd one I posted), and choose your country...

    If you live in the United States, contact AFS-USA by phone at 1-800-AFS-INFO, by email at [email protected], or by visiting their website at http://www.afs.org/usa...

    I hope this will be of some help...
