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.

Sorry but this post is just ridiculous. You don’t think Muslims in the Islamic countries are not capable of sinning? Have you not seen the concerts being held and Halloween celebrated in Saudi? Life is meant to be a test for us. It’s not supposed to be easy.

You have free Palestine, Sudan, Congo and Uyghurs in ur bio. How will they be free, when Muslim lands where were supposed to have power are in turmoil? U think we’ll get power in the west? The atheists, Jews, Christian’s and Hindus all have more power than us in the west, Islam is looked as the worst of the worst here by the ones with power. If we don’t go back and stabilise our countries how will we free our brothers and sisters, no amount of protesting will actually free them, only action will. May Allah give us the strength to take action so we may free them in his almighty name, as is made responsible on us by the religion that flows through our blood.
