Asalamu alaykum brother. Thank you for your video. Let me suggest one correction. Etfs are not managed. You said something like "there are pro managers doing the work". Thats kind of exactly what you want to avoid with etfs. They are funds thats just replicate a certain index. Thats why they are so cheap. Actively managed funds are usually very costly and perform mostly quite poorly. Because actually no one really is a pro at the stoxk market. People are mostly clueless. Theyre just robbing you off your money. So be aware that etfs are passively managed. The only active part really is the guys creating the index and the guys programming the software that buys the shares every 6 or 12 months or so

yes hes so right about Oman I like his list .. OMAN is boring as heck lool people are kinda nice but thats just temporary ... and there are no jobs there

8:30 Hah, I currently work at a startup in Glasgow and I'd definitely disagree on this one - it really depends on your startup's priorities. Our clients fully understand that folk go on holiday sometimes and, before we had the luxury of delegating tasks, we'd just book time off a couple of months in advance so it could be factored into project planning. We also want our staff to still be mentally present a year down the line so we make it clear from the start that we do not allocate overtime to projects unless we start falling behind the agreed upon delivery date. The only time you'd be doing odd hours is to resolve some technical emergency and those have been few and far in between.

Great video mashallah, no fluff and straight to the point. Love it!

One of the greatest and most important series for Muslims available on the internet.

really liking this style of videos, no crazy editing, just simplistic - something we're really missing on YT!

what's the source for 30 % , I thought that just interest in general is not allowed.

Thoughts on Malaysia

What career is good less competitive meaning basically guanrateed job and DOSENT involve haram and riba and apparently working at bank is haram bc of riba and earns 100k and works not above 7 so 9-7 not more than this

What’s main reason Dubai surpasses these countries in Middle East and what jobs would you not recommend if wanna move to Middle East like jobs looking at pharmacist optometrist software engineer cyber security accountant lawyer etc

why are all of these the gulf countries? What about the mediterranean countries or let's say Indonesia? Why does everybody associate hijrah with the UAE?

I wish all UK muslims move to Dubai.. and they can finally be happy

what is SP&A you mentioned in the work life balance sction of the video ?

There are conservation areas in Dubai. You don't have to live in Downtown and stuff. In the mix with the crazy stuff.

Is haircut like you allowed in Islam?

🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 00:05 *💳 Normalizing riba (interest) is a significant issue, with many Muslims overlooking its harmful effects, even though it contradicts Islamic teachings.* 14:29 *📉 Many Muslims are unaware of how their investments may involve haram elements, like bonds or stocks, and should be proactive in ensuring financial dealings are Sharia-compliant.* 27:00 *📚 Lack of financial literacy leads to ignorance about how wealth is earned and spent, which could have consequences on the Day of Judgment.* 41:10 *💡 Muslims must audit their finances, be aware of interest, and ensure their pension and investments are Sharia-compliant to avoid spiritual and financial harm.* 56:11 *🚀 Muslims should aspire beyond traditional career paths like medicine and law, focusing on entrepreneurship and political influence to elevate their communities.* 01:23:40 *🏛️ Political engagement is crucial for Muslims, as history shows the importance of governance and societal change, particularly as seen with the Prophet and the Sahabah.* 01:45:50 *🛠️ Business habits among Muslims often fail to align with Islamic principles, with a tendency to cut corners or shortchange, which can harm both reputation and financial success.* 02:03:20 *👐 Charity is vital for spiritual and material growth, and Muslims should practice regular giving, not waiting until they are wealthy, as it leads to greater prosperity and blessings.* Made with HARPA AI

Great video, Straight to point . Well Done

Amazing

100% this is one thing that’s put me off this whole hijrah thing

Do u know if govt job pension halal.. My father got the salary whole life without being cutter for later pension amd after retirement govt employees get monthly pension and a big amount after retirement at once

We moved to Sharjah 2 years ago and so many other muslim expats have done the same and I don't even know where to begin to explain how incredibly far off you are in your assessment about Sharjah (Like Pakistan?! Really??). Just in a nutshell, those expats who chose Sharjah didn't do so because it was close to Dubai. Rather the opposite is the fact; that it is so much different than Dubai.

Social media has destroyed the mindset of muslims and they treat marriage as a business. Thats why marriage has become so difficult now a days.

Were you being persecuted in Scotland or London as you moved to an Islamic country? We had the same because of our religion in Northern Ireland but we moved within the UK in the 1970s to escape our persecution.You are lucky to have such a wide and wealthy diaspora to escape to,good luck.

Thankyou for sharing your experiences. Good insights.

When you say london had allot of crime was it just what you say on the news or where you actually a victim of crime? A

the comments are recommending dubai and the uae states, but dubai and the Gulf States, including the Saudi government, are working with kufar and zionists? Just look at the palestine situation however, we are where the almighty places us 🙏 Best of luck with everything, my brother

JazakAllah for the video brother. I wonder if there are any growth equity or VC firms out there that are completely halal? Wouldn't it be a great idea to have a Muslim fund which invests in Muslim companies?

Moving to dubai is not Hijra

Language is a key to a community, by noticing the difference and similarities and where people excel in different ways should reduce the tribalism, and that one group is superior or inferior to the other. Or culturally one is better or lesser than the other. May الله make all your affairs easy for you آمين. And may He use you to make these changes so we can achieve الحياة الطيبة/ Ευδαιμονία

I wanted to add something, as a مؤمن regardless of where الله places us on His أرض we'd want to make changes so that the goal/Τελοσ is الحياة الطيبة, or Ευδαιμονία. Where you see lack is opportunity to make it better. In the UK there's community at the expense of shying our Muslim identity, whereas in the UAE and الخليج in general there's religious identity but lack of community or too much tribalism. In order to tackle the latter, make changes in that you take an interest in your fellow Muslim brother, regardless of social status and show them how الله has given رزق in different ways, the construction workers in the UAE need to hear how much الله appreciates their efforts in their work. One thing I would do is recognise that they can speak I. E. اردو, বাংলা or हिंदी better than me and for them to teach me a few phrases. It shows compassion and appreciation.

Really appreciate the honest opinions shared here

U cant get every damn thing in life.Living in Dubai is like living in heaven....UK has been termed as the most depressing city in the world.Dubai has the luxuries of the east and comforts of the west.Once u live in Dubai for a couple of years you will not feel like living anywhere else in the world.Plus the safety and security in the UAE is super.Hardly any crimes.Majority of the UK millionaires are now moving to Dubai

Thanks for the video I really love it my question is that I am From the Gambia west Africa is it possible to invest and how can I invest to be honest I have no idea about investment .can I have some one to manage my account for me. .

Dubai, Qatar and Saudi are ideal places to live for educated Muslim professionals given you have a European passport as it unlocks lots of opportunities that are inaccessible otherwise for Pakistanis or other 3rd world countries. Living in Sweden and having visited Dubai twice i can clearly say the Swedish lifestyle is a million times better but the speed of growth in Europe is too slow.

Subhan'Allah

one major point for me is how these countries are contributing to the Muslim world. The UAE is unquestionably the most vile of them all. Basically, countries with normalized relations with Israel and that support Israel politically and economically. this rules out many of these countries

Maybe solve a problem that's persisting in dubai/ UAE, within your capacity?

Why not build a community, what's stopping you from doing this

Salam Akhi, could you give some examples of Islamic banks alternatives ? Jazakha Allahu Khair

It doesn't seem like a lot of people take a step back to think how their parents or family ended up in the west in the first place. The vast majority of the transplants around me came strictly for financial reasons leaving their parents and their siblings and the rest of their established comforts behind. That was celebrated and encouraged. Now, people making hijrah are going to find it very isolating because making decisions based on faith, closeness to Allah and purifying your environment are not something the masses celebrate. As far as Dubai, I would recommend actually living in Sharjah if you moved for hijrah. Dubai is still easily accessible, but you'll find a more peaceful environment and conservative community there, and they have speakers and lecturers coming often for talks.

the part about the muslim community bond here was true

The main thing is not seeing parents as often whilst your both still alive. Dont care about the rest.

Dubai lacks a soul. It’s a place to earn, spend, enjoy then leave

salam alaykum brother. i understand where you are coming from. me my wife and children moved from canada to the middle east. we were able to get citizenship through linage so the fear or anxiety of "having to leave" is not there for us. But what i think is mostly effecting you, (and you must have come to the same conclusion) is that you are home sick and miss your family. perhaps even the UK. when we left the 1st time we lived it up for a year and enjoyed it, then eventually we started to miss our families and some aspects of back home. (calling the land of kufr home still feels weird and wrong lol). but as soon as we returned to canada, we immediately came to the conclusion that there is no way that we can raise our kids there WHILE we have the ability to do hijrah. (financially, physically ect.) we returned to the middle east and we are happy now that we know we made the right decision. no matter where we go, the kufr and shirk and lack of islam is too obvious. living in a muslim country really highlights the blessing of a land that calls to la ilaha il allah. and NO MATTER how big your family or community is, the muslims will always be the minority among the kuffar and living in the land of the west will reach a point to where the hadith "holding onto your deen is like holding onto a hot coal" will apply to you. as if it hasnt already. at one point you will have to realize staying for your family and putting your iman, your wifes iman, and your childrens akhira at jeopardy is NOT worth it. and remember, the entire world belongs to allah and dont let papers and borders make you feel like a tourist. a muslim country is a muslim country. and you are a citizen of that country as long as you live there. your family came to the UK and felt the same thing, no family no community but over time built one. why not do the same for your offspring? and even better, you migrate for your iman, deen and akhira while most of our parents/ grandparents migrated for financial reasons. not saying thats completely wrong, but which one is more valued in the sight of allah? anyways i think you should consider going to a muslim country in the long run, even if its not the UAE. you are responsible for your children and no amount of family can prevent them from being indoctrinated by the kuffar government and society. may allah make it easy for you brother.

Fellas need to stop settling and going for any lady. Bring up your standards and stop meeting silly demands. Find a down to earth women. Highly recommend women from Pakistan. "British" 😂 Pakistanis if there is such a thing are too much headache. Leave them to love themselves in the mirror.

Top quality content, appreciate the balanced take!

Assalamualaikum brother Sohaib. I watched the entire video till the end and didn't even realise - thanks for sharing your experience in both the UK and Dubai. Vid was super useful for me since I'm just about to finish my ACCA in Paksitan and planning to move to either UK or Dubai, so this was super relevant. Might start from Dubai and eventually move to the UK. Question: Do you think there are good jobs in Islamic banking for ACCA accountants? Are the jobs competetive with those of conventional banking or do you kinda have to give up on salary and benefits to stay within the islamic banking niche? Thanks!
