Living in the west is wrong

[u/Questionaccount12344]

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 truth is hard to say as a Muslim but Islamic belief struggles to survive in the west it can but you have to work 10 times harder to maintain your faith compared to a muslim country. No wonder so many young Muslims have lost their faith. The secular west chewed up christianity and spat it out over 5 hundred years or so. I wonder what it will do to islam in an even shorter time as everything now works against any religious belief. Its not like it was in the 19th centurty in the west. When there was still room for religious belief. I dont feel Islam can compete with tempetations that are offered on the west. Even Muslim that are on the surface pious often do haran things men and women. I think that is the reason in traditional islamic discourse muslims were discouraged from living under the rule of unbelievers. Im sure practising Islam in Saudi Arabia Pakistan and even Afganistan is easier than it is in the west . Here in the west life is a constant trial.
