Should I Migrate To A Muslim Country? | Dr. Shabir Ally & Dr. Safiyyah Ally

""I live in Canada and there are so many evils and depravities I'm noticing in our society. Would you recommend I make hijrah (migrate) to a Muslim country?" Dr. Shabir Ally alongside host/daughter Dr. Safiyyah Ally explores what hijrah means, the practical challenges of uprooting one's family, the difficulties experienced in Muslim countries, the possibilities in a country like Canada, and the importance of weighing the pros and cons for oneself. Dr. Shabir says we should strive to migrate away from sin towards that which is pleasing to God, wherever we may be.

My experience, Muslim countries have the same problems as western countries, western countries are open to discussing these problem were Muslim countries ignore it as if it does not exist!

[@JeremyDavidsonTheMuslimRevert]

Agree 100% - addressing the problem in an Islamic country is responded with "no one owes you anything" or "it is impossible someone like X would ever do anything - therefore X didn't do it and point is proven" keeping the problem how it is - and they wonder why their government are generally more openly corrupt than western nations.

A small percentage migrate because of war or persecution: most move because of economic reason, looking for a better life from the material (not spiritual) point of view.

[@Steven_Rowe]

DR Shabir expects wisdom in bucket loads. People need to remember why they came in the first place and also realise that things are going to be different. There is the cultural part and also the religious part ie the values you cherish and your road map to live lby faith. There is no guarantee that children will take on your faith no matter what your faith is. In the West today we have everything and it's all instant, we have learnt to expect instant gratification and the more we bury our head in the hedonistic consumeristic and of course the sexualistic trough the emptier we become as we create spiritual emptiness in our lives. My own experience as a 70 year old born in London is this. The 50s were a simple age, an age when the UK was culturally religious in ethical values, but religion was never taken seriously by the majority. Slowly change and erosion set in, the freedom ro shrug off oppressive values. Go ahead indulge in commumerism, fill your minds with TV and radio, indulge in as much sexual gratification as you want, same sex or otherwise and let's do it with PRIDE. Churches are empty or tourist destinations, the few successful churches espouse Karaoke or showmanship Christianity of entertainment and it all gone sour. Is the West athiest, agnostic or what?. I think it has shrugged religion but has created a spiritual vacuum that materialism doesn't fill. I think Islam is beautiful, Jesus taught Islam, his life was surrendering to the will of his LORD. Should Muslims move back to there cultural heritage?, my view is they should remain and do what Allah wants them to do and that is to be the salt of the earth, to love others and to make people who are spiritual vacumns to say I want what they have, PEACE. Our bodies are nothing more that a material method of transport foe our spirit and soul whilst we serve our tour of duty on earth. We have the use of things whilst here but none of us own anything and when our material transportation decays and we return we won't be taken houses, cash or any duty free items with us. I think it's good to fall face down and realise every single sub atomic particle in the universe including the material of my body is because ALLAH Is ,was and always will be. No mortal man, no clever scientist can ever comprehend that eternity is beyond the Bounds of the universe which is our prison ound by time and space. Muslims need to shout from the minarets of the heart that Allah is one, Allah is our refuge, Allah is eternal and eyond the universe, Allah has no equal. Muslims need to stay and conquer the heart of the West with LOVE. This is the striving, the highest and most honourable Jihad of Allah. Western media has focussed on Jihad as violence which certainly has ellements of truth and Christianity has done the same. The true message of Islam is to conquer the heart soul and mind so if you all bunk off back to Islamic lands then this won't happen. You need to stay. Forgive me for typos, I don't like typing on phones and tablets

[@haaroonIqbaal2040]

Kudos bravo brother,very concise n accurate description of materialism,spirituality,faith n Islaam. N y the west(all humanity actually) needs Devine Guidance. BTW Iam not implying even tiny bit that those who proclaim or identify themselves as 'muslims' r role models for anyone but the Creator n Sustainer's guidance definitely is for all humanity n must reach them. This is a sacred duty of every learned muslim as per the Quraan whether someone has the character of a role model or not is a separate issue all together but majority confuses these two things. Majority of 'muslims' don't actually know much Islaam but follow certain cultural traditions n rituals !!

[@Steven_Rowe]

@harooniqbal2041 I'm acutely aware of my mortality, that I am not a permanent fixture and that I really own nothing . My dad 9used to say DV short for the Latin term Deo Volente or God willing in English, I prefer the Arabic phrase Inshallah. When I say I'm going to do this and plan this I am very aware but it's God's grace. Do I please Allah, often I feel I fall so short and I'm not doing to well here on planet earth. What many in the West fail to realise is to take God from a Muslim is like tak8ng your heart away, ie YOU DIE. I think the same away,MY BElief in God is part of my DNA. Back in the 1970s there was a Christian singer called Larry Norman, he wrote an Album entitled Only Visiting this planet., what a great sentiment, and how true, but how many actually believe it. I see today how we are brainwashed beyond imagination by consumerism. Create dissatisfaction in your life and tell people you will live the dream with a new car, what ever. The other thing is how many recognise and give thanks and praise to Allah for anything???

[@sultanbin2170]

Translation of the Quran should be based on the weights and biases of the environment people live in and since a translation is not available as per the weight and biases of the western environment, frustration of muslims living in the west won't go away. Preaching won't help in the age of tweeter. Allah has made his speech flexible enough to accomoadte not only the weight and biases of every enevironment but also every single individuals. Proof (Sultan bin translation) Chapter 3: verse 7: It is He who revealed the Book to you. Some of its verses are absolutely clear; they are the pivots of the Book. Few others are elusive [politically correct, adaptive to your own weight and biases]. As for those in whose hearts there is deviation, they follow what is elusive thereof, seeking mischief [miss adapt his own weight and biases], and seeking for its [politically incorrect, biasless] meanings, while no one knows its [politically incorrect, biasless] meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly confident in knowledge say: “We believe in it, all from our Lord." But none will be reminded except those of understanding

[@JeremyDavidsonTheMuslimRevert]

To any Muslim on here who thinks this is the best idea after growing up in a western country. Try a temporary move first, then tell me how much less sin there is. Every sin that exists in the west exists in the east and believe it or not, a large number of people in Muslim countries don't really care or actually may despise Islam. It's not a 24/7 hajj. You most likely have no real connection to the culture, you probably won't find a decent job and if you still work from a western country then it's not really moving to an Eastern one to begin with. And many who move to Muslims countries suddenly go back to their western country whenever there's any health issue. I feel this desire to leve and go to Islamic countries is like this University MSA Islam that pretends like there's nonproblems with Muslims or Muslim countries and you will become an amazing person simply by moving. There's a lot to consider before making a permanent decision like this.
