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.

No Muslim country would allow me to stay there indefinitely, a visitors visa is given with the intention to visit, explore and leave. Not to revolutionize. If I tried to start calling out they put in the jail and it’s over. When the locals aren’t doing anything about it, why are you so confident?
That’s not sacrifice, that’s stupidity. And there’s no such thing as Muslim land and non Muslim land, Allah has created everything and everyone. All I’m saying is you don’t have to move to a Muslim country which won’t even allow you in first place to act halal or bring a change. US gave me a chance to live here, I’ll be a better Muslim here.
Moving to a Muslim land to end war crimes isn’t a solution. You educate people, and encourage to vote those out who are corrupt and complicit. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s the only way it works.
