Where To Go?

I want to move out of the UK to an Islamic country. The thing is I don't have a clue where to go. I suppose I'm worried because I'm going to be on my own with my little son, so's I gotto be careful and make sure we are both safe. I want to take my son away from western influences and give him a good islamic education. Also, I need to be able to drive and work there. Driving isn't very important but job prospects are. So any pointers in which country would be ideal for us to live in? Or if it's not a good idea? All this is confusing me. Please give your suggestions.

Tnx in advance.

salaam,

sis Noddy, do you really want to move away from me!!! :'( lol

well i like egypt....but Saudi better. but i heard they dont allow women to drive . however if the job is close by the home and the amenities you dont really have to drive do you. (we know what youre like behind the wheel )

hhmmmm, but there can be an Islamic life here too, but i guess if you really want to move then..........

wassalam

hahahaha oh nooo now u know the real reason why I wanna move... grrr sis wish we could rove around the country in a motor home woohooo that would be living the life of Riley (whoever he is) lolzzz ..... looolz i hate being called noddy.. it puts me to sleep. But ma real name is Zara not Nadia hehehehe and I beg you don't start calling me Zorro :'( :giggling: sis ur bad influence on me aa udhu billahi minashaitaan'irramjeem lolollol

yeh i know what u mean sis. Uk is ok itself. I just need to get my son away from certain people here. I teach him one thing and they do another. And I can't stop my son seeing them cuz they are his family. So i feel da only way is to go and live somewhere else, then maybe come back when he is older. if i allow these people to give my son the freedom to do what he wants, whereas i put limits on it, then he will def see me as the enemy. I guess it's a tricky situation

Sister, I too, have thought the very same thing...but not for the same reason (a child to raise)..but to live with my own,,and not be a social outcast,as I am the only muslim here....
think long and hard sister..its a big decision and step....I find when I just leave things to Allah, and his will, not mine...things fall into place...

hmmm....if ur situation is wat i fink it is...den it wud b really hard on u sis to leave dis country.

but sis u shud know dis dat once a person is strong in his/her belief, following it is no prob. if u go away now n cum b l8er, in my opinion as a young teenager, i wud say dat ur child MAY fink bad of u....i cant xplain dis < i only said it through my experiences n researches. :X

1 solution cud be dat u avoid seein dem ppl as much as possible. n also dat u cud move a bit far away from ur current place instead o thinkin o movin to a different country. it wud be a lot easier plus ur son c's dem ppl less often....

There are other options. Many places in the UK have places where u would think that your in another country (I may have exagerated that):X . I recently moved from London to a place where there are muslims, left right and centre.
It can take time to get use to it, the amount of work our youth put into deen is incredible.

A few palces where islamic ways is active, are;

Preston
Blackburn
Leicester (adhan has been made legal in some parts)
Dewsbury
Batley
Others can add more.

Although moving to a islamic country is great! mashaAllah

i wish it were that easy to avoid these people sis. but it's impossible. well im talking abt my sons dad. he aint bad.. he's just careless.. i feel his dad is ruining his life. when my son visits him, he wont censor what my son watches, buys him x-box & PS2 games for over 18's and now he's going to buy him an x-box360. i had to take all the games away that included rude scenes, swear words etc and limit his time on the others. but his dad keeps buying him more then lets him play with them at his house. now he's got a mobile phone and an mp3 player and he is only 7yrs old :'( i cant get it through to his father that he needs a father who will sit down with him and maybe do some homework with him, play with him, take him to the park, or just teach him something beneficial. his attitude is too casual generally. so what choice do i have than to take my son away. it's damaging him. i was thinking that maybe once my son is older and i have succeeded in teaching him what i have to without someone ruining all my hard work then he will know whats best for him and even when he sees his dad he wont be influenced by his life style anyway. i know takin him away isnt all good but i cant see a way out. its not as though i havent told him of my concerns before. he just nods his head and i hope for the best, but nothing changes.

i myself want to live in a totally islamic environment.. i feel this is better for me and my son.. *sighs* i dunno what to do :uhwhat

do any bros want to buy the x-boxes and playstation consoles and games? lol

Asalamoalaikum sisoo...

yeh am ready to move right now...dun like uk...even tho i was born here n spent 99.8% of ma life here...

I jus wnna live around ma muslim bros n sisters....and follow ma deen as much as i can...n being in muslim country i feel would make ma goals in life so much easier to achieve....inshaAllah....

i wanna change a LOT on an islamic level...but its soo difficult living in the west...i jus wish **i wish i wish i wishhhh** i had a bit more courage...i.e i really wanna wear hijab n nearly did....but arghhhhhhh

**bangs head against wall**

helpp helpp helpp!!! May Allah swt give us all hidayah inshaAllah ameeeeen

awww sis.. i feel da same way.. apart from wantin to take my son away from negative influences, i wanna be in an islamic environment.. like, i cant explain... its a feeling.. i wanna see and hear muslims and islam everywhere i look.. i dun even know if sucha place exists but hope there's one close to what i imagine... well ok, have you decided about what you'll be doing to earn a living in another country and all the practical stuff that goes with? i know id have to sort all that out before moving and not after i've moved. and how r u planning on doing it?

thats nice to hear. i did phone a madrasa in dewsbury once and they said they only take kids from 13 onwards.. but i wanna enrol my son while he is little.. i suppose that's the benefit of living in an islamic country.. and aint uk schools all privately funded so u pay huge fees or something? well maybe its worth looking into these areas before making the big move to another country and not knowing soul there.. i dunno, which way to go lol but tnx for ur suggestions :thankyou:

well sis...as much as i wna move to saudi, it aint practical at prez. I have to look after my parents here, and Alhumdulillah ive a great family.....(just wish we all lived in saudi!!))

My parents have recently come back from saudi after performing hajj Alhumdulilllah. They talk a lot about how living their would be ideal for them....but i most deffinitly doubt they wud actually move abroad...**looking sad**

anyways about you sisoo...awww mashaAllah biggg hug 4 ur son!! me liv kids sooooooooooooooooooooooo much! make me ---->>HAPPYY<<------ theyr so cute and funnnnnnNNnnny!

yup toooo much worldly satisfaction for kids nowadays...difficult to maintain a balance....i remember a few days back at ma sis's house sum of her friends came 2 visit her and there was this 6 yr old boy n he had a mobile phone...i was like woahhhhhhhhhhh!! holddd ittt!! lil boy what u doing with ur own mobile!?!?

its difficult to set an islamic environment for kids here....no matter how hard you try..theres so much unwanted influence from outside...

goshh i feel depressedd...no i dont im fine!!....lolz..ii need sleep...shabakhair.

walaikum Asalaam wr wb

my dream is to go and visit malasia......never been there but i have seen pics...and i would love to go there and see whats it like....inshaallah one day i will move to islamic country as well....i wish you and your kid the best of luck sister, and may Allah shine his lights and belssing on the paths you are about to encounter.....
peace
