[@nijaj9157]

Allahumma ameen. I wanna make Hijraa for myself and of course my kids even tho they are still young. I am going to hay Tasic Nasri city too Insha Allah. I know it’s gonna be time to get settled however, I am trying my best to get as much info as possible. I have a child with food sensitivity and intolerance. Any store recommendations? Any good pediatric doctors/ clinics that you recommend. I found a farm that does delivery o f gluten and dairy free stuff. I decided to stay in nasri city because of how close it’s to the Arabic/Quran marakiz. Any tips/ recommendations of a young mother with small kids? My youngest is two years old. What do you think of hadanah for a child that young?

[@ummibrahim7326]

There stores that sell gluten free and a bakery that sells fresh gluten free bread

[@maktabahhasanal-basri1068]

As someone who is currently in Egypt and has been here many times I can say the info is correct and very informative

[@abdurahman_king]

BarakAllahu Feekum for sharing this. I just posted a video of my 10 years of experience living in Egypt (from the UK) with a breakdown of living costs etc. for those interested in moving to Egypt.

[@imaslowlerner]

I can identify with the cold stage. I started with al ibanah,felt I wasn't progressing, switched to market Fajr, started from zero, left, went to al azhar, started from zero, then went home 😢.

بارك الله فيك

[@jeylanihussein3259]

[@Regularbrother123]

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله Akhi it is only through the qadr of Allah that I came through this, I have no contacts in Egypt but I’m looking to come next month with my brother. Can you put in contact with anyone to get me a spot near lisan al arab? بارك الله فيك

[@hodish128]

Why are you not posting nowadays

[@AQ_77]

Where in Turkey is that? looks nice

[@DaudBurke]

1:39:50 there’s no price tag on knowing Arabic

[@afarouk3712]

If you Study in slumps and you have an option to study in a good conducive environment and you choose otherwise, that's really backward. It's okay to use modern technology wisely. People just make things harder for themselves for no reason.

[@Asif-wk4vw]

Nasheed at the start of the video ???

[@ibnsulayman3660]

What place was the brother talking about in the beginning that almost didnt let him leave?

Defo Somali's, the word "wallaahi" holds no weight and is used so loosely.

[@partyfavors9238]

Interesting! Where have you study? Please explain your theory.

Did anyone ever tell you you look a bit like Will i am ? Obviously waad ka quruxbadan tahay but there is definitely a little resemblance. Congratulations walaal on your marriage may Allah s.w.t bless your marriage and make it a prosperous happy everlasting one ameen.

[@SDQ119]

nouman ali khan👎🏾 switch the ring on the pointer finger to the pinky in Sha Allah.

[@Amrknegypt]

People need to understand Egypt is Arabic speaking not ethnically.

[@munaissa81]

Even fi ramadan u guys can’t drop for the us

[@abdurrahmanharris6347]

Is it from the example of the sahaba to be overweight from overeating? From the signs of a person not controlling ones nafs is being overweight.

[@EagertoLearnAcademy]

That’s a low blow

[@samsamali2839]

If you want to advice a brother about his weight then do it private, and humble yourself because what you mock today can end up happening to you tomorrow, or worse. Be kind, it cost 0 money, and ppl will benefit by being kind. No need to embarras your brother in faith, remmeber Allah is a witness to everything.

[@ajajssksk1757]

Abdullah Ibn Amr Ibn Al As was a Sahabi who fasted up to his death 1 day on and 1 day off ratio. Despite this he was described as large even up to his old age.

[@n.21]

Egyptians speak Arabic - it’s a dialect - dialects existed since the time of the prophet. It’s incorrect and foolish to say they don’t speak Arabic. Also if an Egyptian or any Arabian or African Muslim goes to USA without any plans or place to stay and just demands the Muslims in USA to accommodate him and make his life easy, that’s illogical and stupid - imagine several hundred/thousand cases. Why expect Egyptians to do something you’ll never do yourself?? You can’t just head to Egypt without planning and expect the financially poor families there to accommodate you into a 7 star hotel, that’s just unfair.
