I was born in the UK but went to Canada as a young child with my emigrating parents in the early 1950’s. Later we emigrated to the US in 1963. I know I would not enjoy the cold winters of Canada at all anymore if I lived there. I lived in FL for 20 years which I enjoyed except for the hurricanes and rapidly increasing home insurance. I live in North Carolina now where the winter is very manageable. I hope you are able to find a place that meets most of the needs you want to find in a different environment. I am very sorry for what is happening in Gaza and like you I believe it is a terrible Genocide by the Israelis. I am not Muslim and do not belong to any organized religion. I just try to live my life in kindness and with love for others. I love nature, animals and our beautiful earth. May you and your family be blessed in the decisions you are making for your future and very best of luck to you.

Mashallah! I am also thinking of moving to a Muslim country, specifically Dubai after I finish vet school since they have lots of work opportunities there. I would love to visit Oman and have heard great things in terms of quality of life (Muslim, low crime rate, beautiful nature and people) there if you want to check it out!

There's no deen in so called Muslims countries.... they are just misrepresenting Islam...I think it's easy to fight with those who are ur declared enemy rather than munafiq...the whole Muslims countries nation sleeping.... doing nothing for palestinean...may i give you example like in Pakistan if even price of fruits and vegetables go high the people come on streets and strike but when a gazan child is dying nothing happen to us... where's deen, where's humanity... can't they pressurize government to take step... it's doesn't mean I don't love Pakistan but I love life for palestinian ....and as about deen they do not teach islam but sects

A very courageous move - Mash’Allah! \nMay Allah SWT bless you with all that you seek in this life and the hereafter - Ameen!

Canada was not like this 8 years ago. You can thank the current liberal government for ruining this country, but then you likely voted for them! Funny how all the people want to leave after they didn’t get the rich life style that the Liberal promised you. Please go, I hope your next country lives up to your aspirations.

Jordan ?? is a great option for family life Islamic values and good education (private schools but affordable in Amman), the only downside is income and economy. Need about $5000 for a family of 4-5 to live comfortably in Amman.

May Allah make things ease and reward abudantly to both of you and your loved kids and make this your Niyyah and efforts to be most successful and most blessed for your family here in this temporary worldly life and the permanent Aakhirah life too..\n\nWe are really waiting and looking forward to see your further videos on this topic, seeking inputs about the best possible Muslim county to get settle with the citizenship.. PS: we too have plan to move from India to any possible Muslim country to get settle with citizenship.,In sha Allah.

Alhamdullillah, all of these points resonate with me. The wife and I have had exactly the same discussions. \n\nMuslims came to the west (after colonisation) for a better life. Im now luckily in a position from a professional perspective to decide where that better life should be.

Don’t move to Canada. I’ve lived here all my life and it’s gotten so bad every where you look there’s homeless camps. There’s people living in recreation vehicles on the side of the road. I hope when refugees and immigrants land on Canadian soil they get issued a tent and a hand shake (good luck)

May Allah pak make it easy for you all in all aspects of your life. May Allah bless you all for not only taking such a step to safeguard your emaan but for also being an inspiration for Muslims like me who are in poverty stricken countries like Pakistan and see countries like Canada as a golden ticket despite knowing all these things aready. Make Allah put barakah in this decision of yours and guide us all to the right path. Ameen. Lots of love to you

Salaam all and hello. I'm born & bred here in England. My parents are indian, my mum from Malawi, southern Africa. Life here in London where I've been living all my life is going downhill fast. Crime & general insecurity, the cost of living, increasing woke degeneracy and lack of morals & ethics all contribute to a worsening environment & society. My younger brother & sister both moved to Dubai & were happy there. He raised his family there and is now in Saudi. Its important to know that the Muslim world although has varying levels of development is still not truly Islamic and that has been the cause of its backwardness and we as an ummaah is now at the worst situation it has ever been. However the call for the resumption of Islam as a system and way of life is rapidly increasing and will ineveitably make a return for the benefit not only for the ummaah but for the the wider world as a beacon of light (in an age of darkness).

Imagine many Filipinos dreaming of American life but only from the rich alta society can achieve the dream because very strict and expensive processing document fees. This people can easily enter America because the immigration borders security are not strict.

I respect your decision but not necessarily I agree with your all reasons you gave.\nI am also first generation emigrant, my children born and raised in Canada.\nMe and my wife faced very harsh situation despite we both are well educated and skilled from our country of birth, and had very good life back home. We did nit came here for job or money. We just came here expecting similar treatment but unfortunately we became subject of very calculated and well planned discrimination, since we are practicing Muslims.\nBut we are not giving up and I think God bring here on purpose, for a purpose, and that purpose is to spread Truth ( Daawah ).\nI will continue by the will of our creator. I am not going to leave this country, this country need my services, since I feel that is what God wants from us.

Alsalam Alykom Saleh family,\n\nI totally understand your reasons. And wish you the best in your life.\n\nI recommend the following countries:\n* Arabic speaking countries\nQatar - Saudi Arabia- Egypt \n\n* Non Arabic speaking countries\nTurkey- Malaysia- Indonesia - Albania\n\nMay Allah do the best for you.

Assalam o alikum brothers and sisters,\nI am from Pakistan. i was planing to move to USA, Canada or Australia but now after seeing the situations there and hearing you guys out. i think i should reconsider it. I really want to thank you both for sharing your personal experience and wanna wish you a very happy, safe and healthy life. May the Almighty ALLAH help us and guide us towards the right path.\nThank you so much.

I am a central asian Muslim living now in the US and both my husband and me are also thinking of moving back to our homeland although initially we had intentions to give better life and education for our kids here in the states. May Allah make it easy for you and everyone having the same plans.?

Masha'Allah! I truly wish you the best in your life! May Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala protect you wherever you are! ?❤ & Free Palestine ???️?

In Islam, anyone doing hijrah like for religion, work, life, security in life will always be blessed with rahmah and prosperity from Allah. \nIts been proven generatios after generations, this is a real deal. \nIslam peaked in the golden age of knowledge due to Muslims hijrah to Andulusia. \nEven our beloved Prophet hijrah, even his companions hijrah and passed on in foreign lands. \nEven our beloved Prophet Ahlul Baits hijrah to Yemen, South East Asia and most part of the world. \nEven to be a recognized famous footballer, he must be willing to hijrah. A buisness man to be successful he need to hijrah to find wealth and prosperity. \nMy prayers to you both lovely family to find a place under the sun that will make your heart filled with happiness and fulfillment. My humble respect from a fellow Muslim living in Singapore. ❤

May Allah make it easy for you. No matter where you live in this world you will find things you like and things you won’t. List the evils of the new place and ask yourself would you be okay with 10-20 years of daily life with those evils

You stated 5 valid reasons and I wish you all the best in your next phase of life where you are rightly prioritising your children. It is different times now and I'd love to one day make the change too. My preference would be Qatar, Turkeye, Abu Dhabi or Dubai......

I move from one country to another every five years because of the nature of my job. As a practising Muslim with children here are some of the countries I’ve lived in which you guys should consider :\n- Turkey is very developed and your family will have to make less adjustments in terms of quality of life. If you can speak Turkish then you are good to go.\n-Morocco has a very rich culture and the economy is relatively stable.\n- Malaysia is beautiful and has great community sense. Very helpful people. The main adjustment will be with the eastern culture which is very conservative. The cuisine is also very unique.\n- Qatar and UAE are both similar in the sense that finding jobs won’t be a problem and lots of people understand and speak english. Also these two countries are developed and the \n education standards are the highest I have seen in countries following sharia. Also these countries are less strict than Saudi Arabia which is my native country. I really hope you two \n aren’t considering it. Your girls will not grow up happy in Saudi. Trust a women who has done it. I love my religion but inshallah no child should go through that environment because her \n parents were attracted to the holy land.\n-Lastly this is a rather outlier in this list but you should consider India. There are mosques everywhere in almost every city and even the Hindus fondly wake up to the azaan. Most \ninclusive non-Muslim country I have lived in. My children loved it. We lived in one of the many Muslim communities near a mosque in a city called Hyderabad which was ruled by a Muslims for hundreds of years. Even though they have their own languages nearly everyone speaks english. The schools are great. The police create spaces for Muslims to worship on the roads so that traffic doesn’t disturb them. Very inclusive and the city itself is beautifully developed. The job market is great and it is a very affordable place to raise a family.\n\nI hope you guys check these places out. I’ve only listed the countries which I felt were the best options but I’ve lived in almost all the countries with a sizeable Muslim population. Best wishes to you folks from the Sayyid family. Allah be with you.

Ok i fully support your decision to leave canada since its your choice and not mine but I would just like to say that please choose a stable country with good quality of life and bright future i live in Pakistan and we literally are running out of gas blackouts happen practically everyday sometimes short some times long and im middle class so just choose somewhere where you feel comfortable and has s bright future \nIm not telling you guys that you are wrong im just pointing out somethings you guys should keep in check again its your life you should somewhere you feel comfortable

I suggest you go to Qatar\nMuslim country with high standards of living and very rich and life there is good

Life is full of test\nU can't run from the problem \nThere is other problem comes in other countries too\nU guys never will be happy if u run from the problem \nLife is a test from Allah subhana thala

Consider to come and experience the tranquil beauty of life in Abu Dhabi, UAE – a city that embraces you with warmth and safety! ? Picture yourself surrounded by the graceful domes of numerous masjids, creating a serene backdrop for your spiritual journey. It's more than just a city; it's a place where family values thrive, with robust laws ensuring the well-being of every child and woman.\n\nBut it's not just about the quiet moments; Abu Dhabi bursts with life through a tapestry of activities for all seasons. And the best part? Your hard-earned money stays with you, thanks to the absence of income tax – a city that lets you build your dreams without financial worries and the place where you can find Islamic banks.\n\nCome be a part of a community that cherishes safety, spirituality, and the joy of family living. ??

Fix your own country. Same thing about earth. They trying to find a new planet to live on . Fix earth ! How about that? Get it together and fix your own country. Fix home! If there is life on this new planet like earth you better believe they closing the borders to there planet. Humans got a bad track record of killing stealing and confusing. Look at the history ?! Fix your country and everyone. Fix earth.?

Salam to all! I would love to see where you guys pick. My husband and I are also considering other countries. Would love to see videos on how life expense is residential requirements to become a permanent resident of that particular country. education where it stands if the children were to leave that country and come back into the States. If you guys can elaborate on these topics, it would be so useful for those who are attempting to go to the same countries. What would be some financial friendly international home schooling programs that may be parents can enroll in until they are settled permanently in the country of their choice. JAK may Allah make this journey easy for your family and bless your family with the best of both worlds for your intention.

I’ve lived practically my entire life in Canada and I have been thinking the exact same things you are talking about. I have started to look and am very interested in Turkey. I am planning a trip this spring Insha Allah. I would suggest you put Turkey on your list. May Allah guide us in our path. Ameen.

Immigrants are being lied to and mislead into coming here for the agenda to destroy the country. Not enough housing work food etc for the people already here. You want to be in for the fight of your life Canada is the place

Come on!!!! This is crazy! America welcome to our new way of life! A**hats!

I have so much respect for people who make this decision of leaving everything behind to start a new life on the other side of the world. I wish you all the best on your journey ♥️

I was born and raised in Ireland. I lived in New Zealand for a year and ever since coming back to Ireland, I can’t wait to leave again! It’s just not the country for me. I wish packing up your life and moving across the world was easier.

You are lucky to have winter.. i live and grow up in malaysia.. i never experience cold weather in my life.. i hope i can have enough money to travel overseas

It's funny how you brought up the exact same points as my husband and I discussed about our life in Canada. Our vision changed so much when our baby came to this world. You both confirmed that all of our worries weren't hypothetical. It's the harsh reality of Canada. Thanks a lot for making this super transparent video. ❤ May Allah make your journey easy and bless all you and your beautiful family. ❤ (We plan on moving back home in Turkey)

May Allah make your life easier and better wherever you decide to live. Yes, as a parent it is very difficult living in a non-Muslim country trying to raise your children in within the Muslim faith and traditions. ❤???✌?

Hello Saleh family, I have been following you for over two years now; I am not american or canadian but a physician and mother of two from a third world country in the Caribbean. I started following you because I was curious about the muslim faith and your way of life. I started following different muslim people (and jewish, vegan, homeless and more... basically anybody different than me) and after some time I saw that we were all humans in search of the same things in life. I completely agree with your decision of moving but was very disappointed in your comments towards the drag community. A person in drag reading a children's book is not indoctrination. A person in drag reading to kids is only teaching them acceptance and tolerance (exactly what you want the world to give to your girls who most likely wear a Hijab). A person in drag is an artist who finds joy and self worth in certain clothes, hairstyles and makeup... it is a person a human person with the same value as everyone else. It has nothing to do with sexuallity or sexual orientation... if we truly want freedom for Palestine, if we truly want to change the narrative and to prevent 75+ years of brutal occupation and racism ever happening again; we have to change the way we see our differences... is not enough to ignore and respect people who are different: we have to accept them and recognize their humanity and their worth; to value and foster acceptance and integration in the younger generations... that is the only way forward, that is the only way we will all secure a better future for our kids. Good luck in your search, I hope you find what you are looking for ❤

Immigrants flee their home countries because they don’t offer a good way of life. Then turn around and want to recreate the same environment in the new country. Sorry if that’s the way you want to live, go back to where you came from.

Swarmers all over the earth push their life on others. They have no right to push their laws on others. Push them out of your country.

If you want to be independent & grow personally consider going to North America, but if you want to be dependent to everyone else & have an easy life, stay inside India only.

MashaAllah, u guys r such an amazing couples and parents. I know this is not an easy decision, but Allah is with u and I really stand and look up to u. Every parent knows what is best for their children and families. I live in Pakistan 2. Me and my brother were born in US to Pakistani parents. My mom didn't want to leave US but my dad said there is no religious environment there plus our whole family lives in Pakistan and didn't want us to grow there. Our apartment owner who was Christian was not letting us go. He said that u guys r such an amazing people, good Muslims, nice to everyone and take Care for everyone. It was really hard for both of my parents but Allah made it easy for us. My mom passed away when I was 18 and my brother 15 and I really miss her. My option is u can guys move to Pakistan. U can get Islamic education + Islamic environment. No matter how bad our politics, government doesn't care about Its own country and no cleanliness but I still love Pakistan. I really respect you guys for making such a hardest decision with strength. I really support you guys with this decision. Just don't mind I was just giving an advice that Pakistan is way better but it is totally up to u guys which country u like to make your better life. But where ever u guys go, u are all always in my prayers even our brothers and sisters in Gaza. May Allah bless u all with his blessings, protect your family from evil eyes, fill your life with joy, happiness,love and peace and May Allah make this journey and life easy for u and hereafter. ❤ Your family and especially your little kids

I’m a born Canadian, fully “white” and am a revert, alhamdulliah. I would love to know where you’re going and how you’re planning your life there! It’s always been of interest to me also for these 5 reasons (and more!). May Allah swt bless your family in your new country and bring blessings to your new countrymen with your presence. Ameen ✊???

I have met you in person and I love you, I think all governments are almost the same and the corruption has reached everywhere in the world yet many people are still and will always be good and they are everywhere in the world.\nthe cold is the same as the hot the only difference is you had enough cold but once you go to the hot countries you will say the same about hot weather.\nThe environment, I prefer that my kids get exposed to everything and question everything and I will always be there to teach and explain and learn what I have to learn to become Muslims based on conviction, most Muslims In Muslim countries are Muslims because it is the norm to be a Muslim and the day they are exposed to the rest of the world… \nSo at the end,I want you to make the decision you believe is the best for you at the moment, and Allah will ask you about what you did not what other people have done.\nThis is donya and you will be tested till the last day of your life. Equip you children with knowledge wherever you are and Allah will take care of them.\nAll the best my brother and sister and we will miss you here.

I am Malaysian, with Malaysian mom and Pakistani dad. 20 years ago my extended families in Pakistan moved to Canada and started life from scratch. Everything was kinda smooth but ever since the government supports genocide, they decided to leave Canada settle down in another muslim country so this would be their second hijrah. They have exactly similar reasons, just like you and i totally support your decision to move out. Much love from Malaysia. ❤

We were born in Sweden to Pakistani parents. My late father made the hard decision to move our entire family to Pakistan so that we could receive Islamic education and be in an Islamic environment. Despite having lived alone abroad throughout his life, his sole purpose was to provide us with the best education possible. Alhamdulillah, I am now a Hafize Quran, well-versed in the knowledge of the deen, and currently working in Sweden once again. So, I wish all of you the best on your journey. May Allah make it easier for you.

Many times children have no desire to leave India. It is the parents who looks at neighbors or relatives kids and want their kids to enjoy the same. Most kids cannot say no to parents and get stuck for life.

You are so so lucky that you realised so quickly that Canada is a wholly false dream. You and your husband were wise to have found out the truth about real life in Canada. Many many others fell into the same trap and guess what, they are now finding it extremely difficult to leave Canada. In the meantime, their friends in India are doing far far better than those who left for Canada.

What you have stated in this video about your day to day life experience has horrified me, really it means a lot to us like Asian Indians, as, we get all kind of skilled technicians plumbers carpenters etc here in our country for reasonable cost, actually I was planning for my son to Canada, but now I give up ??? thanks for sharing your experience

Arabs are rich. They don't want the Palestinians ruining their way of life.

Tell me that this isn’t really happening is this our Great Britain ?? or not our prime minister and so called mayor of London need to get a grip that is if they are still interested or have any interest in this country if you don’t then let someone who now how get this country of ours back on track and save our great city’s and our history and our way of life our beliefs it’s not being racist it’s just common sense our flag our national anthem god bless England and all UK where is Churchill E P

I am from immigrant stock and totally condemn this sort of intimidation. If you move to a country to enjoy the benefits it has to offer, including greater liberty and tolerance, then you respect its culture and traditions! So, if you don’t like those traditions then go forth and multiply back to your own country, simple. And I say this as someone who has been seen as a liberal leftie all my life, so that says something about how fed up I am with this hypocrisy.
