For the people aren't living in the country where where their heritage is, do you prefer to live where you are or go back to where perhaps your parents or grandparents came from? or is the country you live in now your and your future generations home?
 
:sl:

This is an interesting question! Hmm, this country hold more future(UK) for my kids, however it also has got its negative points.

I miss my homecountries very much! If i was given the option I would much rather go back to sudan or egypt, nd spent my life with my family which am separated from :(
InshAllah i will do so after i have gained my degree (all prayers welcome :))

:w:
 
I want to Move To An Other Country Insha"Allah Maybe The Country Of my Parents (Turkey) ,dunno Maybe Somewhere Else ,
Atleast I Have to Get Out Of Here :)
 
:sl:

Nopes. We are originally from India, but my parents were born and raised in South Africa, and I was born and raised in the USA. Only my father stayed there, but as a student for several years. I can't really see myself moving to India. lol. And I love the USA, but I don't really wanna live in the USA forever either and would prefer moving to Saudi Arabia. If not, I'd stay here and be happy. :D
 
:w: I'm originally from Somalia, but my whole mother's side is from Kenya. Due to civil war in Somalia, alhamdulilah my mother already had visa's ready for my two older sibs but not for my sister and I so we stayed in Nairobi and Mumbasa (naku penda Kenya <3!) respectively. By 1991 or 1992 we all relocated to Canada.

In all honesty, Canada has done me well and is a really good country for a Muslim to live in mashaAllaah, but I don't plan on staying here forever. I plan on moving back to Kenya or Somalia. :)
 
i was born in Australia...

my ethnicity is Turkish...

i love australia...wudnt consider living in Turkey...holidaying is good...but to live there..ummm..no thanks...the last thing i need is to be questioned about why i do the things i do...

Australia is so free...so comfy..so natural..so convenient..i am me and noone cares...no one has the right to care...
 
My heritage involves Ireland and Scotland, beautiful to visit but never thought of living there. Besides, my Irish Whiskey drinking days are long behind me :)
 
I'm originally Syrian, but I've lived all over, and currently live in Saudi Arabia. I would never want to live in just one place my entire life, I want to travel the world, spend about a year in each country then move on to the next. Eventually, though, I'd like to retire in Syria, because ultimately it is where I call home.

LOL If I remember correctly, you did share parts of your history when telling about your revertion to Islam, no?


I'm originally from Kosovo. 1992 we moved to Finland and here I've been raised. I do want to move somewhere else, not like life is horrible here, no. It's OK, not too good neither too bad. The culture is familiar to me, but I do prefer a culture closer to my own and the culture here is quite far from mine.

I have considered moving to another country for studies, inshaAllah. Maybe the UK or Germany.
I wouldn't want to move back to Kosovo, no way. All those questions and weird demands by all the relatives, that's nothing for me. For holiday, absolutely.
I have for long wanted to move to Turkey, where both of my parents' ancestery can be found.

No idea where I'm gonna retire (if I'll live that long, Allahu Aleem), I do like to travel though.
 
Interesting question, i was thinking the same thing when i was back home (country of heritage). I was speaking to my grandparents and we agreed if i hadn't of come to england i would be married by now. I don't think i am ever going to stay in Bangladesh on a permanant basis, although it is a beautiful place and a lot of my extended family live there. i would probably be better off here. I would still visit the country when ever i could though, it is lovely lying under the stars, no noisy traffic, no worries and no millions of lit up streets and houses.
 
:sl:

I am from Bangladesh, but I was born in Dubai, U.A.E lived here 12 years nd then went to the U.S nd Canada nd now i'm back in U.A.E...I mite go bak to Bangladesh inshallah in couple months

No idea..Allahu Alim
 
i am from yeman but live in the uk. i would like 2 live with my family and friends in yeman but i do like the uk soo i dont mind living in the uk but i do really want to live somewhere where there are lots of muslim
 
:sl:

Just a quick note, since u all seems to be having a good time in the places ur living right now.... Praise Allah :), I am mainly reminding myself!

Alahmudlilah for all that Allah has given us! And made our lives easier!

And inshAllah he makes the lives of others easier just like he did with us, ameen

:w:
 
Alhumdulillah and ameen to what Raonar said.

Quite kewl to seee such a variety of places people come from Masha'Allah :).
 
:sl:

Im of indian heritage but from Barbados (dads side)
Would i move back there? No, theres no good shopping at all :( but i would go visit there all the time inshaAllah, lovely place to be and of course family.
But i would like to make hijra from the UK anyhow so :?
 
Hmm..I've lived in the Uk all my life, even though I wasn't born here..
Even though it does have it's negative side, I much prefer it here in the UK coz of the way we can live in such diversity..But back home, it's normal to go to mixed parties and my family there aren't really religiously inclined..Though they would find it scandalaous if a girl so much as talked to a male colleague or something..
Oh, I'm confuzzled..
