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

So happy for you mashaAllah! My husband and I packed up our life in California and have been traveling the world for 18 months or so. Alhamdulillah, no regrets and living in Muslim countries has been an incredible experience for our kids. May Allah put barakah in this move for you!

As someone who grew up in desi household, we're constantly put pressure on moving into countries like Canada. I'm very encouraged to see your decision as you decided for the sake of Allah. May Allah bless you people.

It makes perfect sense to want to get away from the things you've mentioned. The world is not the same as it was even 10 years ago. That's the last time I visited home. (Abbotsford, BC) I've lived in the States for many years now and boy was I shocked how things have changed here in Canada. I realize you and your family don't use Bible, but just to give you a biblical perspective on things that very well may parallel scripture from the Quran, at 2 Timothy 3:1-5 it says... 1 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. \nYou may be able to get away from the moral decline of where you live now, but honestly, these things are going to be world wide eventually if they aren't already. But there will be a time when God (for me his name is Jehovah), will step in and fix things. In the meantime, It's awesome you are putting your family first. It's sad that that is not the norm anymore.

I've been following you guys for the longest of times since the beginning, actually. Massive respect for you people to put our deen on priority. Like in each of 5 points, our religion was associated with the reason for migration. May Allah make it easy for you guys. Aameen. This is super tough, I know, I understand. But definitely, nothing is hard if Allah SWT commands it to be smooth. In urdu we say, 'HIJRAT MEIN BARKAT'.\n\nP.S: Consider QATAR. Also, a sisterly advice, finalise after offering two rakah nafeel.\n\nLove and respect,\nSafura S.

Good keep those fuckers put we amaricains already have anuff problems here in the us no need to add more people to it

MashaAllah great step, Dear sister and brother. May Allah puts so much ajar and blessings in this step of yours.

Thank you!! I've been waiting for this video for weeks ? Alhumdulillah amazing decision! We have decided to move out of Canada as well inshaAllah soon and our reasons are pretty much exactly the same as yours! It's the Tarbiyah of our kids that is our priority right now and here we aren't able to do that freely. So Kudos to you guys for making such a big decision. May Allah swt put lots of barakah in it and keep you safe n steadfast on your deen wherever you go!! Ameen.

I am Indonesian living in ALberta for almost 15years, planning to move back to Indonesian soon. I would suggest to South East Asia and settle in any of these option Malaysia or Indonesia, or other option would be Turkey. I Especially if you like variety of landscape, nature choose those places. Very safe to live and cheap cost of living. Well I wont pick DUbai to live, especially \nwesternisation there is so obvious (many people from UK, US move there) and UAE are not really pro Palestinians in general. I dont even put Dubai as place to visit too much structures, not offering any natural place to see.

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.

None Muslim here. I’m so glad your putting your children first. I’m 60 and going to be blessed with my first grandchild in the spring. I’m really anxious as to how things will be for this baby when he goes to school. We can only do our best to keep our children safe. ?

I cant blame you for the cold. I dont love the winter either. I moved back to the cold winter from the coast and boy do you get spoiled on either coast of canada for weather! I just dont like to be cold. If I could move to the USA, preferably texas. I would go. In terms of living costs, its sad how many canadians dont understand that places like BC and ON have been pricey for a long time. Its new in other provinces to be this expensive and AB, SK, MB, QC. While some of those provinces are more expensive than others, they're new to the super high prices and many refuse to recognize how ON and BC have been paying these prices far longer then inflation right now, which isn't new either. While I'm not muslim, I am LDS and we are not a favourite religion in society either. We get chastised all the time and nobody bats an eye. I've been insulted by employers, our church buildings have been set on fire. I still have to explain why my faith doesn't believe in working on sundays (as employers want that these days). I think some religions or non religious dont want to recognize what we get put through too. Even though we can relate to muslims in our own way. My faith enjoys serving communities with the muslims, I have worked with muslims and many are just the kindest people! The first president of our church got murdered and our people got chased within the USA and americans seem to believe that this doesn't happen in their own country but the same hate has and continues to happen in my faith. So I can understand, we face a lot of rejection when we speak about our faith. I can understand in my own way how you feel.

This is invasion. Round them up and put them in ghettos.

My family moved 22 years ago from Mumbai to Toronto…while the struggles said on your channel are real, there are also perks which I feel like you didn’t get to experience. If people have good jobs, stable family life then DON’T move…culture shock is huge that people moving from India don’t consider, just by wearing and eating western food doesn’t make you western! \nThere are sacrifices to be expected which you don’t realized as your great grandparents or grandparents might have made when they started out! \nMoving to another country is never easy, unless you’re loaded with $$$. People in India are lazy as they have people working for them and don’t realize how difficult it is living outside of that lifestyle (not everyone in India can afford housekeepers, cleaners). Being independent and doing things on your own has its own positive (just need to figure it out). \n\nI have worked in healthcare for 16 years and let me tell you…social system works better as everyone gets the health service without being judged about $$. Healthcare is based on priority around the world but people don’t understand this as they feel like their problem should be attended first no matter what! \nNot all drugs are legal in Canada, marijuana is legal though with acceptable limits…you probably were misinformed about drugs! Teach your kids about right /wrong when it comes to drugs, smoking, alcohol and that’s the best you can do! I know people who live in India and do all that which you mentioned you were worried about for your kids. \n\nWhat you experienced was a classic case of culture shock and your expectations didn’t match the reality! Moving away from family, changing lifestyle and being responsible adult (doing things on your own rather than relying on workers) is difficult but doesn’t make the country bad that have you an opportunity to settle! Don’t take things for granted even while you live in India…appreciate the effort that goes into everything- keeping roads clean, people working hard, etc. \n\nBest advice I can give to those considering moving to any foreign country is: Keep an open mind, be ready to work hard and visit the country you want to move to before you make the grave decision of uprooting everything! Things usually turn around and get better after 5 years mark- focus on upgrading your education if you have a basic degree from India (even you know how competitive things are in India, so how can western world not be!)\n\nBeing vegetarian- things are tough when it comes to food but living in Toronto has never been an issue. Even people living in India avoid outside food due to hygiene reason which is not a problem in Canada as food inspection is pretty strict (having worked with ministry of health). \nCities like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, etc has variety of food options (including veg)…just have to be really open to trying other cultural food (Asian, Mediterranean, Italian,Mexican, etc). My parents are strict vegetarians and have never truly struggled when they are out. \n\nCost of living is definitely higher as the standard living is higher compared to India. Education (until grade 12) and healthcare are free (in reality, you pay tax for it), you get pension when you retire (based on your contributions and type of jobs you had)…you failed to navigate the system and I will say having family around is why you didn’t take opportunity to explore and learn on your own. \n\nPlease don’t come to Canada and make life difficult for other Indians who choose to willingly accept the culture and lifestyle here after going through this hardship- cost of living and housing has gone up dramatically in major cities because of immigration influx! If you’re serious about moving and putting up, only then move! Otherwise all the best for your future endeavours!

Where's the military? Send the Marines to the front lines there? Put Put them all back. To the wrong countries and send biden back with them

Concerned about everything except Hamas putting their weapons down

Hey the Republicans already have the orders to where you sign up you can make $30 an hour helping around these guys up put them on buses trains and planes and send them back where they belong my grandfather built this country and died for me and my grandchildren not you or yours get that straight

The Saudi Arabia has over a million little makeshift homes for the pilgrims they go to the Hajj most of the year round it's empty how about you put your refugees your brothers in there

The press should ask why the arab world for the pass 80 years did not put a stop to the zionist invasions.

I feel like everybody’s more mad at Israel than Hamas put the blame where it goes

This was 10 years ago. Now in 2023 the Muslims are doing it again. There is no end to this extremism. Halt migration now. Other religions from abroad are doing the same to other European and North American countries. It’s time to put a halt to certain religions migrating to the U.K, other countries, it’s up to them.

Democrats put your Biden sign back in your yards so they know where they can stay for free

I wanted him to say it America that’s towing the weight and the minute they put it down, it will all be fine.

They're fashion sense puts English off of their laws... plus the way they are mean to females.\nBut nobody likes drunken behaviour on the streets... looks like things need to be more balanced. Between both cultures. \nMaybe if they try and look nicer, and are kinder, people will happily mix with them ? ???\nRespect in all cultures is good !

Put them in jail

Satan is cunning with his words trying to put the blame on someone else. All praises to the most high for this man recognizing evil when he hear it

until i see the arab leaders put their money where their mouth is and stop their trade with 1srael it's all empty talk. they dont have to take refugees or go to war for Palestina but they should at the very least cut their financial ties. but they won't, cause greed trumps humanity.

She tried to the put responsibility on the saudis he brilliantly judo ed the responsibility back back on the Israeli’s were it belongs.

Ppl come to our border bc our government give billions to help other countries already. They gave billions to that racist country of Ukraine with all those nazi’s they put in the military and gave billions to Israel after they killed over 20k people including innocent women and children. Maybe if they stop helping racist countries, these others wouldn’t try to flood the borders illegally.

I called 911. Three times in the past year for people seen with guns in the street. I got put on hold for 5 mins each time. This country is worse rhan a third world country !!!! Need a hospital visit. Exoect to wait years for xrays or mri

They are not Palestinians they were put In Israel land by Muslims to try and push the Hebrews out their land take your ppl back iran,Saudi Arabia, Jordan

But how much of this humanitarian aid would make it to the people? Thewater pipes were dug up and used to make rockets, the supplies put into storage. There needs to but a large security force to go along with it to ensure people dont get taken advantage of, or get their aid taken away

im from toronto and it is SHIT!!!!!!!!!! I have called 911 three times in the past year for violet crimes and been put on hold each time. There are homeless people everywhere, car jackings every day everywhere. If you want a relaxing life or vacation DO NOT COME HERE. Everyone from here is leaving!!!!!!!!!

The issue is the Palestinians, putting in a terrorist government that seeks to destroy the neighboring ?? nation

Let’s just put it in a different perspective. The Arab world does not have the BALLS to hit Israel. They need their master’s permission which is the WEST ofcourse

So why doesn’t he use his influence with oil and force America to stop the war by putting pressure on Isreal. This guy couldn’t care less for Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine. What a cop out answer he just gave while swimming in the dollars he receives

who's blockade are we talking about? Is it from egypt, an arab country that has blockade in gaza or it lebanon also and arab that also has one? And why single out israel by putting walls on their boundaries?? US has walls...SK and NK has walls etc.

A very good and smart response...the Israelis already wants to put Israeli settlements in Gaza

Pushing for peace for them means getting rid of Hamas and putting a government in that treats everyone with safety and dignity. Including Christians and, Druze.

In other words the USA and UK must sort it out by putting extra pressure on Israel and stop the occupation of 75+ years

He basically said: they made their bed and now they can lie in it. \n\nThere’s quite a few Palestinians trying to leave and seek refuge in Egypt since they opened their borders to take a limited number of them in.. as long as they’re not associated with Hamas. \n\nHamas brought this war to the Palestinian’s doorstep in Gaza and if other Arab nations don’t want to open their borders to the Palestinians who would like to leave because of the war, then there will be an increased number of civilian casualties. Just because their fellow Arabs refuse to take them as refugees doesn’t mean Israel loses the right to defend itself from the barbaric terrorist attack Hamas launched against them. \nAny other country would have the right to defend itself from terrorists that live at their borders. If Hamas cared about their citizens, they’d have a plan for them and their safety once they initiated this war on Oct 7th. But it seems like Hamas’s only plan for them was to be disposable pawn martyrs caught in between them and Israeli forces. \n\nYou can’t torture, rape and kill 1,400 Israeli citizens/foreign nationals and take 200+ hostages back to Gaza during a depraved terrorist attack and then cry ceasefire when that country declares war and is winning. Especially when you’re still holding onto hostages and not honoring the terms of the first ceasefire by letting the Red Cross see the hostages. \n\nIf these other countries cared about the Palestinians, they’d take any refugees that wanted to leave. They clearly don’t want to do that for some reason. They’re watching from afar with their popcorn, saying “isn’t it terrible what the Israeli’s are doing.. but we won’t let them come here to escape, which would let the Israelis fight this war with Hamas, who initiated it, without civilians in between.” With no mention of how Hamas as put them in the middle and isn’t protecting them. Also no mention of any responsibility Hamas has for bring this war onto them by the large scale terrorist attack, that includes hundreds of civilian hostages of all ages.

I criticized the genocide of my Sikh brothers, sisters and children in riots in Delhi in 1984. That incident is the one that led few sikhs but not all to ask for a separate nation that should be named Khalistan and I want the media to not to call those sikhs “extremists”in foreign countries, we can call them Sikhs asking for separate country, they can not be called “Khalistanis” either because Khalistan doesn’t exist. Also, sikhs and Hindus always got along well. In all India, there are sikhs living everywhere just like Hindus. There was never a conflict or dispute between them. I grew up in a society where my neighbors are all mixed Hindus and Punjabis. As much as Sikhs visit Hindu Temples same goes for Hindus visiting Gurudawaras. How about our film industry, there are so many sikh Punjabis like the Kapoors, the Malhotras, they don’t want to leave India also. I don’t want to my Indian sikhs to make a separate nation. I want the Indian police not to discriminate against certain religion and not be biased. If a Hindu policeman saves a Hindu criminal and wrongfully and falsely put a non Hindu person in jail then it’s purely wrong and discriminatory and same thing goes for a Sikh policeman. How about our soldiers, majority of our soldiers are Hindus and Sikhs, they are protecting India and it’s citizens. I want people of all religions and backgrounds in India to live peacefully and get along.

Put land mines on American side. Bet they stop crossing

Wow! He answered that question the way Louis Farrakhan would have answered, very intelligently. \n\nSecondly, why should the Muslim or Arab world have anything to do with the plight of the Palestinians when it was Europe who put the Jews there. Let Europe remove the problem of Israel out from the area. That’s all Europe and America problem for allowing Israel to be grafted in among a people who has nothing to do with them being there. \n\nWhy don’t they ask that question to America and Europe. Why doesn’t Europe or any European government absorb the Jews in their country where they were originally when hitler was burning them. They are the Ashkenazi Jews from Europe. \n\nIf any Jews left Israel when the rockets were flying in to their residence, I’m sure some Israelis left the country. Where do you think those Israelis moved to? I can guarantee you that they didn’t move to another Arab or Muslim country. I bet they moved to Europe. \n\nLet’s get those stats and those reports out to the public.

The aide fell down after Xi shat his pants in front of him. Xi kept moving to get away from the smell, and he was worried about it following him in or if anyone realized what he'd done. He was cracking up inside and embarrassed, but he put on his dictator face and nobody suspected a thing.

Send the bastards home. It’s not their country. They weren’t invited by the majority of English people. We should not have to put up with this nonsense ??

We let too many immigrants in waaaaaaay too quickly, which is all to plan. The World Economic Forum owns our Liberal government, who doesn't care about this country. It's simply a cash-cow to Liberals. Rampant corruption at every turn. They let in millions of people with nowhere to put them, what did they think would happen??? They plan on letting in 500k every year going forward, it's not going to stop. They tax us to death but keep wages stagnant. \nWe need to shut immigration down, full stop, for at least 10 years. We can't keep going on like this.

It's simple right? They just got to stop playing the blame game. What does a fireman does to people in a burning building? Do they leave them to burn and put out the fire? Heck no, they evacuate the victims first, put out the fire then place the victims back. \n\nUsing the above terminology is real education, get educated, please. \n\nThe Palestinians don't want to leave their land and rather die? I'm not sure if that comment resonated well with the 20k dead now, I'd much rather be evacuated to safety than to be a collateral between this proxy war between the West and Arab. Don't be so blind to buy this dudes nonsense. Who wants to die in this world? I'm sure not 20k...

The Arab Nations shirking their responsibility again failing the Palestinians. If they were truly serious about looking out for the Palestinians they would form an alliance of 20+ countries, put forward a meaningful strategy for peace and a Palestinian State and if rejected, threaten to overwhelm Israel militarily. Despite their differences, the one thing that most Arab leaderships can agree on is their hatred of Israel.

If the majority is not for sharia, then they should put a stop to it and not sit on the fence and jump boats depending on the reactions.
