Pros And Cons of Studying In EGYPT 🇪🇬.

[@solomontheadventurer6709]

First I must say, Alhamdulillah, I'm a new Muslim of 5 months. I want to go to the Middle East so badly (and to study the Deen in the Middle East). Allah has made me yearn to go there almost like it's my own homeland. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel, May Allah reward you!

[@mdidris4414]

Aim to apply to madina university in sha'Allah. Maybe speak to the Imam of your local masjid to assist you in the process. I understand that they are more lenient in the application process coming from reverts

[@authenticallyab]

Asalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatu! Mashaallah akh! This is amazing news! It truly brought joy to my heart. May Allah make you firm, guide you, and make you from the people of knowledge and true understanding. Aameen.

As an Egyptian who has lived her entire life in NY, I can honestly say that YOU HIT TH NAIL ON THE HEAD with the cons. I have spent every summer in Egypt for the past 30 years and I can honestly say that nothing has changed for the better. I still love it and consider myself to be more Egyptian than American but it makes me sad to see it not live up to its potential.

[@authenticallyab]

Asalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatu. May Allah make it easy for you akhi. Allah knows best, I don't have a specific answer of what you should do. But what I will say is that you should try to educate them on the importance and virtue of seeking knowledge, also the reward of the parent of the child that memorizes the quran and who is righteous. Bring them evidence from quran and sunnah that will encourage them to want to support you in that. It also may benefit you to try to get someone who they respect their opinions to try and convince them. May Allah give you success. Seek knowledge wherever you are tho bro. Hope this helps.

[@intellwarrior]

Liked. Subscribed. As salaamu alaikum, Al hamdullilah for your structured instruction. I am an American (Orthodox) Christian and would like to study al-Qur'an and Arabic IN EGYPT - would you change your recommendations based on this? Would you feel safe bringing your family - and how are Christians viewed studying the Qur'an in Egypt?

[@emlive2290]

Muslims are very welcoming. If anyone wants to learn about Islam people will help you. If you visit personally, you can ask brothers who already living and studying there.

[@authenticallyab]

Wa alaikum assalam. That's great to hear! I would say yes, it is safe and you should go. I don't know any Christians personally who have traveled there to study. However, I have heard about some doing that and having no issues. Many of them studied at an arabic institute called Fajr Institute. Also, there aren't only Muslims living in Egypt. There are many Christian communities there as well. And it doesn't seem to be any major conflict between the two religions there. But this is only from my perspective, so I would advise you to do a bit of research yourself before going. I hope this helps give you some guidance in that regard.

Jazakallah for the video! I have a question. Does the students do part time jobes there to earn their expenses ? What are the options when you’re their on student visa. I’d also like to know about Al-Azhar University if you have time please. Jazakallah for such a nice work. May Allah Bless You a lot.

[@authenticallyab]

Aameen wa iyyak. Most foreigners from the west either save money before coming and are studying full time or they have some sort of online job while studying. The most popular occupation for westerners here is probably teaching English though.

[@authenticallyab]

And to my understanding, No one is given a long-term visa unless you are an azhar student. However getting your visa extension is fairly easy though. The first extension,they'll normally give you 6 months, every one after then will only be 3 months more than likely. And inshaallah I will make a whole video about azhar in the near future inshaallah. Jazakallahukhairan, may Allah bless you as well.

Assalamu Alaikum Ab, jazakAllahu Khair for the vids they’re very inspiring. I wanted to ask, so if you join an institute or take from a scholar directly and not necessarily a university in Cairo, can you extend your visa or get a student visa? From the US a visa in Egypt can only last 30 days.

[@authenticallyab]

Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatu. Jazakallahukhairan akhi. Yes I went to an institute for arabic. Inshaallah I plan in the near future to study from a scholar directly, don't know who yet. And yes you will still be able to extend the visa without being enrolled in a university

You can extend it how many ever times you would like until you're ready to leave

السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته Only thing is you that are paying a bit to much rent 400$ is like 20.000K egp it’s way to high and I guess you are living in Nasr city, bare in mind the minimum salary is a round 5k to 10k so nobody gonna pay 20k rent, that’s unfortunately because they knew you where American, so my humble advice don’t djust approach those simsar’s directly but go with someone who has been living there or better with a Egyptian you can trust, I been living here for 3 years almost and I pay around 5-7k now the prices went up but in nice areas like new Cairo El Rehab you pay 10-15 K.. and the other point is be careful in wat Merkez you study the language because it’s a mix with different sects like Hizbi’s etc go to the maraakiz who are known like merkez al Furqan or the Merkez of Shayk Khaled in New Caïro. And the Shayk also gave as advice don’t djust focus on the language but also combine it with aqieda if you can.. That’s djust my humble advice. بارك الله فيكم
