I have a great inner urge to work. My being depends upon challenges. For that reason I feel that where ever I am I see as being the best place.

It has been a long time since I had a truly permanent address, for the past year I thought I had found it. But, time has come for my wife and myself to move on and it seems our next temporary place to call homw will be either the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Montana or the Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota. Conditions currently indicate it will be The Northern Cheyenne rez.

But, Inshallah whatever, will be home either short term or long term.

We just discovered the Island of Manituwonda (Plum Island) just off Long Island in NY is for sale. Hmmmmm who knows. With a bit of a grant to develop it into an educational area possibilities exist.

For me it is the same. Having moved less than two years on average my entire life, any place is "home." I am quite content anyplace I am. Even in the worst of places, you can only do what you can for that moment.

I have lived in some really scary places, but each morning the sun still rises. When I was very young I took comfort in the fact that everywhere we lived the sparrows were always there. As I grew a little older I had a star that was my own. No matter where I went in the world, there were always things that remained constant, and I took comfort in that fact.

Where would I live if given the chance? I'd stay right here. I have certainly thought of moving again-- not to any place specific. I won't name the countless number of states and countries I looked at. LOL But no, I quite enjoy living here and I have no plans to leave anytime soon. If I could live anyplace it would be right here, even though I could certainly be happy anywhere.

As salaam mualaikum.

The day I gave away my Bangkeaw which had been my constant and loyal companion for years, I was told by an ustaz, during a taklim, that whatever we gave up for the sake of Allah, we will meet again in jana. So my grief was alleviated somewhat by the knowledge that I will be able to meet my Bangkeaw again in jana. I pray that you will be able to meet your horses again in jana, too. Insha Allah.

I was quite verbal about it on the "Republic of Lakotah" forum. Sadly it was because of the prejudice some people had when they discovered my wife is Cheyenne. There are still people here that believe all Native Americans should not step foot off the reservations.

Your Du'a is appreciated. But, may it be a Du'a of thanking Allaah(swt) as with each loss comes new gains and opportunities. The time has come for us to move from Zeeland and this has pushed the door open to better things.

The Sisseton/Whapeton Rez is beautiful and one of the Most Prospreous reservations, but they have adapted to the ways of the wasichu, My desire is to live either on or near Standing Rock, Cheyenne River, Pine Ridge, Crow Creek, Rosebud or Lower Brule. Those are the people I find most receptive to learning about Islam.

Well definetly Madinah and Mecca, also Spain. But to your question "If you could live anywhere in the whole dunya..." Somewhere with Huge mountains and a huge ocean with animals running freely making animal noises and enjoying themselves, peaceful sound of birds, i however am not sure where such a place exists in this Dunya but i guess something i had in mind of place where i would love to live. but i doubt i will ever visit such a place in this dunya.

I don't think I have seen green grass since September. It has all been buried under the snow. Here is a free sample of snow.



Yes snow is beautiful. But, like all things of beauty it can hide danger. In a snow country you learn to appreciate it's beauty, but fear the danger that comes with it.

Are you referencing this translation?:

Those whose lives are terminated by the angels, while in a state of wronging their souls, the angels will ask them, "What was the matter with you?" They will say, "We were oppressed on earth." They will say, "Was GOD's earth not spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" For these, the final abode is Hell, and a miserable destiny.
If so, pray tell, what is the connection to hypocrites?

Ooooooh, I think I see what he is saying . . . Thinker, please do correct me if I am wrong and Allah forgive me if I am drawing an incorrect conclusion, but perhaps what is meant is would a person who does not do hijrah - moving to a Muslim country where they would be surrounded by fellow Muslims and not subject to oppression - be a hypocrite?

I can only give my opinion on this, but in today's global community, I think it is quite important to realize that Allah gives each of us the strength to deal with challenges in his own way. For some, moving to or staying in an area that is not purely Muslim is an opportunity for dawah, and can still bring them to some very large and supportive Muslim communities, or give more opportunity for humanitarian action in the name of Allah, without taking them out of touch with the larger Ummah. There may be challenges and oppression there, but for some, that's more than acceptable and they thank Allah for the opportunity to work even harder for Him. For others, hijrah and a simpler life without concerns of what people will think may be more appropriate.

Yes it is true, that if muslims are oppressed (meaning they cannot practice Islam at all and have to change belief - "wronging their soul"), then they need to do hijrah.

But that's not what "thinker" was saying, is it?
And he even accused us for being hypcrites?
That even does not make sense.
Also, is any of us here actually living in area of the world where we cannot be a muslim and practicing Islam?

I think with certain members of the forum you must know their history, intention, etc in order to give response.
With "thinker" I don't need to waste time thinking a good response as he also never put in "thinking" when writing his posts, all he does is flaming, and not even a good flaming that may deserve some good discussion.

*chuckles* Naidamar, you must understand that I have been a moderator of several forums in the past. Believe me, I know when someone is trying to stir the pot. Responding in anger is often called "feeding the troll", though I'm sure you've heard that term used in the past. I'm not a moderator here (and have no wish to be . . . my deepest sympathy for anyone who can put up with it, ten years was enough for me!) so I take the stance of when confronted with a troll, don't feed them, but take the food and turn it to a feast for good, and let them go hungry. :D Allah forgive me when I fail at doing so, but no one is perfect save He.
