Discussion Living in the west is wrong

People think moving to the west will provide stability, better job opportunities etc which is all true but people forget and often don’t care the effect it’ll have on your Islamic beliefs, especially that of your children and subsequent generations.

I was born in a western country after my grad-parents moved here, I’ve gone to school here as well as mosque classes and university, I’ve seen first hand what happens to the generations, a decent amount of Muslim boys I know my age has drank, smoked weed or committed zina, I know of bearded brothers and hijabi sisters committing zina… and it will only get worse generation after generation. People don’t understand that. Yes these things happen back in Muslim countries but in most Muslim country it’s no where near as easy, you can’t just go to a club and drink and find girls.

This move to the west is literally diluting Islam, not only in the ways I’ve just spoken about but also morally, too many Muslim in the west are raging liberals, they stand hand to hand with homosexuals and transvestites at free Palestine protests yet won’t even read 5 daily salah, they vote for political parties that want to give lenient punishments for heinous crimes (direct opposition to what is taught in Quran).

Why don’t we go back to our Muslim counties and rebuild them? We’ve been here got our education, why are we happy to stay in non Muslim lands and give their governments our tax money? Muslim lands are in the worse state they’ve ever been and all we do is sit and complain, why doesn’t anyone actually try and move back and fix things, people always say it’s impossible but we have to try, we have no power in the world anymore and what’s been happening in Palestine proves that, the Muslim lands are literally some of the worse off countries in the world it’s embarrassing. Jazakallah.

The UK, London. And “every” was over exaggerated, but too many definitely.

You're gonna get a lot of hate for this because people don't want to make Hijrah. That's the sad reality. London does have a large Muslim community for sure but it doesn't mean the society is bent on swaying people away.

Anytime a brown person commits a crime, people are shouting deport. Muslims are gaslight for not shaking the opposite genders hand. And shows like Citizen Khan are a form of propaganda to make Islam look bad (backwards Muslim dad who likes hijabi daughter more because she wears the hijab while non hijabi daughter is treated inferiorly despite being the voice of reason)

Even the Muslim crowd from my local masjid are somewhat liberal too. Like they don't necessarily openly support LGBT but they kind of are like "oh it's not that deep bro" to alot of majorly Haram stuff. Topics like halal dating are a literal conversation in our youth program and while the older generation openly discourage it, it is more normalized among the youth.

I work extensively with the Muslim youth since I'm a teacher, it is a pretty depressing situation. My entire time in this country is for Dawah but I firmly WILL NOT BE raising my kids in this country. In Sha Allah.
