Living among hostile disbelievers

[asifkhan]

Since 2007, I've worked and lived in South Korea as an English teacher.

Life is a bit easier for Muslims compared with England. There are no Belmarsh prisons

that house 'suspected' terrorists, without any charge/evidence.

Muslims are not harrassed by the authorities here.

I originally came here to get 2 years experience, so I could move to Saudi.

I don't want to live in England anymore.

Alhamdulillah, I have been offered a job to teach English at a University in Saudi.

I have accepted the offer, but must speak with a contact in Saudi, before I

can return to the U.K. to process a visa. The job starts in September.

I've never phoned Saudi before, I had problems yesterday, today is my last opportunity

to speak with the contact because his vacation begins tomorrow. I hope I will get

through to him today, in shaa' Allaah.

I would not advocate all Muslims to run away from where they are, just to seek ease.

However, after years of thought, I've decided Hijrah to a Muslim country is the best choice

to make, if it is feasible to do so.

Why stay in a country that wants to destroy and humiliate you?

We saw the fate of Bosnians in the 90's, I feel potentially, I repeat potentially, at some

time Muslims could be sitting ducks in the west. We must think ahead, long-term.

As regards Saudi, I look forward to the simple things in life, which Muslims who reside in

non-Muslim lands may only experience during Islamic conferences, meetings, at the Masjid

etc.

To live among people who you actually feel are on your side, to be understood because

everybody shares the same Deen. To go anywhere and know all of the food is halal, to see

signs of Islam everywhere you go.

I know everywhere has its good and bad points, and I don't have unrealistic expectations

of Saudi. I'd advise myself and all of you to seriously consider moving to a Muslim land if it

is practical and realistic to do so.

To live among Muslims, I am sure a part of me will feel at home, in some way, in Saudi,

in shaa' Allaah. To enter the land of our Prophet (SAW) will be the most emotional, uplifting

inner feeling of my life, regardless of what Saudi is actually like.

One thing I will be happy about, is to see less of the kuffaar. I feel very happy when I don't

see or meet them.

After I read the sealed nectar biography of our Prophet (SAW), I felt more determined in

my life than ever before. I am sure I will be crying my eyes out when I go to Saudi. To be

able to visit the Kaaba, Medina, all of the places where Islam was revealed.

May Allaah (SWT) protect the whole Muslim Ummah, Aameen.

We all (should) know (that) it's much better to live in a muslim country, who wouldn't like to live near the cradle of Islam?
But obviously, you can't just go and live in KSA, if not for job-opportunities.
Do they allow Non-Arab Muslims to live there permanently?
Subhanallaah, i was contemplating on whether to go to Madina (at first it was Jordan, still remains an option), and then staying there for a year or two, traveling through the desert - you know - experiencing it first-hand.
If it isn't expensive (is it?), i would do it!
Anyhoe...
May Allah ('Azza wa jal) bestow upon you all that is good!
