Best continent to live in?

[Muezzin]

Why is Antarctica missing from the list?

I too love America. But, I do wish---maybe totally selfish on my part--Isha'Allah, that we did have an Islamic government to help shape the declining morals of this country and bring more of my countrymen to Allah (swt). There is so much good about America, I just hate to see it condemned to the grave instead of headed to Paradise.

Please note, I am not advocating a violent overthrow of the government, but maybe one day, as our numbers grow, we can have more brothers and sisters in positions where they can help change policies and practices.

As much as I do love this country, I guess my biggest problem is with all the temptations and unright influences in this 'Christian' country, I struggle to keep my faith. So, I would be willing to relocate (if the means were available, Isha'Allah) to an Islamic country. Any suggestions and advice about where to and how to relocate?

One thing to keep in mind , is that the things that are disliked about America, do not reflect all the country of the USA. Each state, territory and commonwealth differs considerably. Hawaii is much different then New York, New York is much Different then Puerto Rico, Alaska is much different then either and my favorite Texas is way different then any of them. We really are not what the world's picture is. The world see's Washington DC, New York City and Possibly Los Angeles and that is the concept of America. So, if a Person likes the North American continent, there is much choice. For those that want to get even more drastic, Keep in mind, Canada, Mexico, Belize, Guatamala, Panama and the USA all share the North American Continent. One of our States (Hawaii) is not on the North American Continent. Same goes for two Commonwealths, Puerto Rico and the Virgen Islands, both of which can be States any time they desire. Another thought as a condition of Statehood Texas retained the right to seperate from the Union or divide into 5 States if the people desire too. There are a fair number of Texans that do want us to return to being the "Republic of Texas" although they are radicals and in the minority.

AFRICA everybody cmon its the best

 

[Woodrow]

Actually I like Africa too. It really is a beautifull continent. But, sadly all the political unrest is destroying the country. It has been quite awhile since I was last there, but from what I hear it has changed quite a bit. Especially in the Southern Countries.

Hopefully the Northern Countries are unchanged. They were really fantastic.

i don't know where is better to live...i never try to live in other continent or other country. I just go there for holiday...

But i think the best continent is of course in Mecca...

Which continent is exactly Mecca in...sorry for my bad geog.

When I read the title of this thread, my initial reaction was 'none of the above'. I am sad to see as this option is not available to us. Subha'Allah I guess as for time being, we have to live on the face of the earth...we gotta do what we are gotta do. there is no escape from the Inns/Humans or Jinnz or sharr of shaytan on face of earth. (except with the will of God). I mean, the only reasons I would choose to live in one continent over the other is for sake of my deen (learning from gr8 scholars and teaching it)...

thats my basic principle and thats what I would go by..(hypothetically one can apply the same principle to all of the contentinents..)Allahu Alim.

I dont mean to be a thread killer. but I have lived in 2 continents so far..and if Allah wills, I will be living in third continent pretty soon..subha'Allah
So I would rather be a traveller in future. I dont wish to reside in a place for the majority of my life. Each continent has its own beauty and we would be lucky enough to witness atleast some of it before I leave the earth forever..

Lots of people tell me that Malaysia is a beautiful and peaceful country for Muslims to live in. Its one of the places in "HAve to visit countries" list.

Thanks.

*enters votes Asia and leaves...sisters know why* HAHA!!

^except for Bengalis.malaysians hate Bengalis.they think Bengalis are inferior.

I can't wait till all the borders of the world are gone, and all the nationalistic flags are burned, and Islam is the established around the world.

that's extremism.Everyone has a right to live in their own way.

that's extremism.Everyone has a right to live in their own way.

Depends on how you look at it. If you look at it as being disrespectful (the burning of flags) and compulsitory (eradication of borders, establishment of Islam) then I would say it is extremist.

However, if you look at it another way, that all men and women in the world recognise the Straight Path, turn from their sins and false beliefs, and embrace Islam (Isha'Allah), then this world would be as Allah (swt) intended, all mankind as brothers and sisters united in the Turth.

Peace and Justice.

I can't wait as well.All this nationalism and patriotism is driving me nuts.

Its always a funny reaction that follows, whenever you mention that you are a muslim to someone who is not a muslim. the first thing they may ask is: "What muslim are you?".. If the Prophet was standing behind us, we wouldn't have dared say "Sunni" or "hanafi, shaafi...."... lol. no, we would have said.. "What do ya mean? i am a MUSLIM!!". the next question that may be asked to you:"Are u a pakistani muslim, or an indian muslim?".. Duh? ffended: Same here.. "Who cares! am jus' a muslim mate'

Not all Malaysians. I do welcome Bengalis! But the media plays major role in degrading the immigrants (usually Indonesian, Bangladeshi, Myanmar, China, Vietnam, Pakistani, Nepalese, Indian). Plus the emergence of Neo Nazism and Nationalist Malay nowadays. So sad!

i don't think so...i've seen so many girls married to bengali...

Assalamu alaikum

I voted australia, just cause I live here now. Insha'allah the next few years I'll be in Asia somewhere.

 

[manaal]

I would vote for NEWZEALAND,...but its not on the list.

so im voting for australia,..because they are lucky enough to be my neighbours... :giggling:

New Zealand is not a continent. Its part of the australian continent.

 

[manaal]

Why is Antarctica missing from the list?

No penguin members in this forum :giggling:

 

[Fishman]

I vote Asia because it has so many different places to live. You could live in a desert, or on an island, or near the rainforest, or in a huge megacity like in China or Japan.

Still want to vote for Gondwana though!

New Zealand is not really part of the australian continent is it?? but then again i never knew Australia was classified as a continent LOL

Australia itself is no more a continent than Greenland is, but Australasia is a continent. Continents are not just classified on physical grounds, Europe is physically part of Asia, but it is culturally very different.

Geologically, Australia, India, some small islands and parts of New Zealand are all on the same tectonic plate.
