~*I hope u r all in da best state of health 'N' iman inshallah*~
Well sisterz n brotherz I have a question and in no way am I trying to start an argument or anythg of the sort, This may be personal and private to some, but for those who wish to answer please know that I am a revert myself and i am curious about these things and finding out others answers helps me to make decisions also.
I want to know what stops you from living inside a Muslim country?
This question is directed to all muslims living outside a muslim country whether your a revert or not....and I would like to know if anyone is planning on living in a muslim country in the future? , InshaAllah.
Puls dis is one assignment I hv to do ...
Much appreciated.
Remember... Allah, subhana watala, sees everything we do!
Also if everyone moved to a muslim country how would non muslims learn about our culture and what we believe in?
Wassalam
Br ABDULLAH
The internet has evolved akhi I'm sorry I just wanted to add that. But seriously though we have to realize is that not everyone will be able to make the migration to an islamic country, however one should though at least attempt to make an effort
Allah knows best
Anyways I'm trying to make some moves now (bidhnillah)
I live in a non-muslim country because my parents have jobs here and we are settled in the US. It would be too big of a change for us if we moved to a muslim country. My parents might not get a good job, my brothers and I might not get a good school, and for other typical reasons. But me and my family practice Islam and we visit the mosque frequently. I also agree with what you said br. Abdullah.
So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.
(Sura Ya-Seen 36:83)
Why I live in a non-muslim country? Well basicly because I was born in one
Why do I chose to keep on living here? Well because I don't see any serious reason not to!!!!
First of al Belgium has third-best educations of the world (right after Japan, and some scandanavian country, I forgot wish one). Secondly Belgium has One of the best social security's systems. Furthermore I don't see myself leaving all my family and friends behind just in the hopes that it might be better somewhere else. There's one thing I noticed lately, I'm surrounded by temptations. Maybe one could consider this a reason to live elswhere but I do not.
If one looks at life as a "test" try comparing it to a survey with questions. One could chose a survey with easy questions or one with difficult questions. Does anyone actually believe that the questions won't be taking into acount when we'r judged for our answers? I don't think so, so I also don't see how moving to another country would make me get a better score, nor make my life any easyer. So why would I wan't to live elswhere
Well i live in a non muslim country because i migrated wiht my family ... ok so heres the thing.... Living in a non muslim country has it advantage and disadvantage... and we all know them i dont haave to go indepth.
One thing we need to realise is this... we say Oh how i wish i lived in a muslim country ( not bad dont get me wrong) but what makes u say this? As muslims its our dutie to speard Islam.. if everyone just lived in muslim countries what would become of these non muslim counties... know that we are responsible for every non muslim that passes us...
Living in a Muslim country is not a bad Idea acually its gr8 but someone has to stay here and deal with this...
My father once said a very powerful quote...." Islam is in Saudi but Imaan is in America...
with that said i end here... just ponder...
what does that quote mean to u. what effect does it have.
Wow sister, your dad's my new hero! Tell him that too, please.
Assalamu'Alaykum
Wow mashallah... i didnt know he could be anyones hero besides mine.. Mashallah seems like it had lot of impact u as much as me... :sister:
But inshallah i will let him know.
im in england because my parents moved and they brought me with them
why did they move? country has more islam than country my dad was in???
well kinda..in a way :S
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
i wna make hijrah wen i'm older insha Allaah... but i just gota stay in the uk because of parents. i dont really like the way of education too, because theres toooooo much fitnah in college etc.
I live in UK.....as a revert didnt really have an option to live anywhere else.
I would love to live in a Muslim country in the future inshAlllah, possibly Saudi, in paticular, Medina. But seriously tell me, which countries actually follow Islamic law correctly?
Rabi'ya:rose:
PS(post salaam) looks like Saudis gonna have a big influx of Britons within the next few years....they better start building more housing!!!! lol
What stops me from livin in a muslim country? Hmm .. I really dont know .. Inshâ'Allâh when my husbend and me get children, i will move to a muslim country, becouse i mean that it's a better place to live, and a better place to raise our childre.. Inshâ'Allâh ta'âla ..
Right now i live in Denmark .. Im a danish muslim, and i think it's hard to give up my parents and my littlebrother here in Denmark .. But when my own children get old, i want to move .. Inshâ'Allâh ..
But i have never discuss it with my inshâ'Allâh future husbend .. So wa Allâhu alam ..
ALHUMDULILLAH i am living in muslim country...........well your question is good but as i read all post reagarding this question.........I just got one point that 99% members are giving there justification for living in non-muslim country nothing else .........everyone has it's own concept or reason about living in non-muslim country...........

I have had the choice of living in Pakistan but chose not to. The reasons were that: I went to Pakistan to study Islamic studies at Al-Huda thus stayed two years there. What I saw in Pakistan was nothing Islamic - except for the Adhaan which could be heard. Overall i saw less muslims actually practicing Islam than the muslims in Glasgow. After studying, i felt i my duty to come back to Glasgow and teach what knowledge i had gained. I know the way the people in Glasgow, who do not have the knowledge of Islam, behave as i was one of them once therefore it is a duty upon me to live here and teach. I know the kind of problems people go through and can relate to them very well which is why i can advise them accordingly.
first of all as far as my knowledge AL-Huda International and the teachers are there are not qualified as a Scholar from any recongnized Institue or something like that and may ALLAH (SWT) knows best........well there is a lot of dicussion in that matter........sure there in no country through out the world which practicing ISLAM 100% ............I wish to live in a MUSLIM country and ALHUMDULILLAH I am living there

Oh Allah! I love you and I need you, come into my heart, please.
I'd much rather live here than Pakistan, India or some Middle Eastern tyrannical dictatorship, Saudi Arabia and Egypt for example.
You people go on about how you'd like to do hijra, but did you know you can't even get Saudi citizenship if you went to live there, imagine being treated like a second class citizen.
You ain't even allowed to marry Saudi women, just imagine you found a hot chick that you weren't allowed to marry, thats pretty messed up.
