- On October 25, 2021 my husband and I moved with our 8 children from The United States of America to Gambia, Africa! We made this move without a backup plan! We are an African American family moving back to Africa. Going back home to Africa is a dream come true for our family. We'd like to share this journey with other families who would like to know what life is life moving to Africa from America.

I feel exactly the way you feel. I have no intention of raising my family in the USA with all this homosexuality being spread around. I am from senegal but I want to move to Gambia inshallah
That’s true
I need your number
Good luck on your journey, may Allah make it easy for you.
I'm so happy for you.
I am Egyptian
I agree with my opinion
Well done.
The most important thing is Islam my sister
God bless you
Although I’m not a parent, I am an elder sibling so I deeply deeply sympathize with modern Muslim parents trying their best to raise their children in the best way possible (deen-wise). I really hold all of the parents burdens on my shoulders. I feel so sad every time i see an agenda being pushed in children’s books/movies because I know most parents aren’t really acknowledging what’s going on. It’s alright though because we know that Allah is with us and with every hardship, comes ease💓. I myself was led astray growing up but with time, I finally realized what the truth is. We all have our paths/journeys and I just hope you and your family are kept on the straight path, along with the rest of the Ummah, insha’Allah. I just discovered your channel and I’m in love! You guys give me positive vibes and just LIFE. Mashallah🥰 Keep it up sis!!
I understand this!! Thank you for sharing ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you!! I'm so happy you're enjoying the channel. Ramadan Mubarak 💝💝.
Mashallah sister i was waiting for your video i am also planning to move back home in east africa this year inshaallah with my 4 kids. you inspire me alot ❤
This means a lot to me! Thank you for watching them, Mashallah 😊❤❤🤗.
Masha allah sis easy what sidee??
Mashallah sister you are so amazing love from 🇬🇲🇬🇲
My wife and I are coming this , keep up the hope and the information, You'll are great.
You made the best decision to receive Allah's Mercy in this life, and definitely in the Hereafter. Sadly, many Muslims are not intoxicated on alcohol, but instead, they are drunk on misguidance, ignorance of Islam, disobedience, arrogance, and pathways that will lead to their detriment (intellectually, morally, and spiritually as Muslims). May Allah Protect and Support you and your family in your endeavors.
As-Salaamu Alaikum Sister! I'm happy for you, Alhamdulilah!!❤
ما شاء الله تبارك الرحمن

One of the reasons we are moving to the 🇬🇲, in shaa Allaah .This really hits close to home. I have 6 children, 4 grown and 2 younger 11& 2. So, I understand entirely. May Allaah protect your family, Aameen.💗
Assalamualaykum, may Allah protect your family and bless you all with goodness always. Ameen. Thank you for watching.
Where are you from sister?
@@summersinafrica GA
@PeaceOfMind Okay Alhamdulilah, I was wondering if you were in the US.
Ameen
May Allah swt accept it from you sis and guide your children and make them sincere believers ........deen always has to come first in shaa Allah
Ameen, Jazakallahukhair! Thank you for watching.
Amin Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, may accept it from you and continue to guide us to the right path of Islam.
Amiin yaa Rabi 🙏
Great mom from what I see so far, those kids are just finding themselves for now, plus that frontal lobe is still developing.
I know it well because in my teenage years, I made stupid/rebellious decisions. Keep up what you feel is right for your cubs & peace of mind of your family .
My inspiration for returning home to Africa/ Liberia is high...thx to people like you.
Enjoy Africa...enjoy The Gambia!
Most people are not gonna get it, but we do ... we totally understand you Aminah. You've made a very wise decision and Allah SWT will see you through. You have a very lovely family. May Allah Bless Y'All.
May Allah make it easier for you sister. I also have 8 kids in America, and this is an ongoing thought of mine as well. So happy it worked out❤
Thank you!! ❤❤ May Allah bless your family with goodness, Ameen.
Ameen Ya Rabi 🙏
We are Hebrew and feel the same! It’s not about those temporary things but the everlasting! You have just reminded me of my why for moving there to begin with. Thank you!
Thank you for watching sis!💕
The Ancient Hebrews were ISLAM, please know I am absolutely not talking about the modern day Religion,
Ancient ISLAM is a WAY of Life -
I
Submit to the
Law (Towrah) of
ALLAH' (ALLUAH is the Hebraic term) MOST HIGH = ISLAM
Shalom Aleichem / A'salaam Aleikum
@Michael Smith As Alykum brother! Let me simply state this - Judaism and Islam were NEVER religious facades they were a WAY OF LIFE - modesty and piety under the guidance of Torah/Tawrah. Our enemies created these Religious FACTIONS in an effort to divide and conquer the seed of Ibrahim.
Surah 17:2
[17.2] And We gave Musa the Book and made it a guidance to the children of Israel, saying: Do not take a protector besides Me;
[17.3] The offspring of those whom We bore with Nuh (NOAH); surely he was a grateful servant.
[17.4] And We had made known to the children of Israel in the Book: Most certainly you will make mischief in the land twice, and most certainly you will behave insolently with great insolence.
[17.5] So when the promise for the first of the two came (Issa and Muhammed), We sent over you Our servants, of mighty prowess, so they went to and fro among the houses, and it was a promise to be accomplished.
Both Issa and Muhammad were Hebrews direct descendants from the lineage of Ibrahim and BOTH lived a certain lifestyle and NEVER followed a Religion, if anything they spoke against it and were targets. To this day MANY are under a Religious Banner verses simply LIVING A LIFE OF PIETY and Modesty keeping Tawrah (covenant of grace and forgiveness) to gain the eternal.
Subhan Allah! This really hit home. I worry so much about my kids also. May Allah continue to bless you on your hijra journey
Ameen, May Allah bless you with goodness! 💝💝
Yaa Aminah, Keep talking! Keep calling/inviting to your Lord(swt), it maybe that someone is benefitting.
Allah(swt) says in the Quran "And who is better in speech than he/she who calls/invites to his/her Lord, does Good, and says that I am one amongst the Muslims.
A Good Muslim woman is the bedrock of her family and a great "asset" to her husband.
I pray that other Muslim women can take inspiration from your wisdom and belief in your Lord. Ameen
I appreciate this! Thank you for watching.
I’m going to straight up sis… I’m not a religious man, but I truly appreciate the conversation! Even though I have no experience walking in the shoes if someone of your faith, I can see how the West would make it extremely difficult especially when it comes to raising your family. And we all know what religions are “acceptable “ in this land of “freedom”. If the motherland gives you strength in your faith, I would say that you have absolutely won the war.
Side note: the great education argument in the US is such a misconception and half truth… it’s really ridiculous. There is so much education abroad that is so much better! The U.S. is a name-brand, you are not getting anything but a diploma with name recognition, doesn’t make you smarter than anyone else. Your family will be much better for getting away.
✌🏾Have a good day sis✌🏾
All of this! I appreciate it!! Thank you for sharing.
I love your comments
@@ilhaanf663 I appreciate that! I will keep them coming!!!
Allahumma baarik sister. May Allah protect you and your familie. I'm born and raised in Europe and moved to Morocco 8 years ago. Best choice in my life wal hamdulilah. Be patiënt, cling to Tawheed and Sunnah and keep your eyes on the price. We will wake up from this life very soon...
"We will wake up from this life very soon" gave me chills! Subhanallah
Masha Allah beautiful family 🥰I’m impressed with your decision and commitment sister🥰 I’m here in the us for 6 yrs with 2 kids, but I born and raised in Africa 😍my plan is to take my half Ecuadorian /somali kids to Somalia 🥰 Insha Allah it’ll be one day.
mashallah may allah be with you and your family, i am somali and moved from UK to Egypt and now we are living in UAE, my end goal is back home inshallah x
I appreciate this, may Allah bless you with everything good. May He protect your family, Ameen❤
See a lot of somali people doing this too, moving from the west to Turkey 🇹🇷 ect. may allah bless you with everything your heart desires 😘
Ameen🤲🏾 May Allah bless you with the same! Thank you for your support😘🤗.
Why Turkey Turkey is not different the US for sure
I wish they took their resources and skills and went back to Somalia 🇸🇴 😕 😔 we need it!
@@nasreenwhatdowedohavali1425 This is interesting? Does Turkey support small children changing their sex? I'm so curious. Can you please explain more? I know its not 100% Sharia, but as bad as the USA, 😨 huh? That's so scary? Ya Allah! I'm always here to learn different perspectives. You have my attention. Sukran
Its difficult to be muslim in USA 4sure. From marriage,prayers, n etc
Na'am it really is may Allah allow us that wanna relocate for the sake of Him be able too Allahumma Ameen
We definitely will be more closer to the Qabah to make Hajj In Sha Allah
Shukran Jazak’Allah khair sister for these videos! I look for to your videos because they are so useful to me as my husband and I are in talks about migrating to the motherland. Can you please touch on Islamic schools for children in Gambia, we want our kids to get a strong Islamic education so what are their Islamic schools like?
May God bless you and your beautiful family and grow you all in HIS knowledge and shower you all in HIS protection! Amen Ya Rabb 🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾
MashAllah sister you made a great decision. Might Allah reward you for putting your deen first. Allah will bless your children and ur family, you guys will fvery successful in everything you do.
In Shaa Allah
Ameen.
Ameen 🙏
Masha Allah, what a intelligent sister ♥️
❤❤ Thank you for watching sis!
Wonderful video. I need to get out of this place. 😂 Africa is so beautiful.
😂😂 Thank you!! It is beautiful sis. Inshallah you will see it. Allah is the best of planners always.
Yes, the SOUL IS the *most* prized possession for ALL ELSE is in VAIN! Asalaam Aleikum!
The no waste lifestyle is real! I brought a tv with us that the screen cracked during travels. I told the workers in my how to just throw it away. They were like.. are you sure?!!… well I’ll take it! The plumber took it and had it fixed!!! Asked me for the remote and said it works fine! 😂😂🤣I wasn’t ready for that! It’s fine. The tv was for him!🤷🏾♀️
😂😂 I can imagine that moment for real! I swear it's one of the things I love most about our lifestyle change. It makes you think twice and 3 times before throwing things away😊.
@@summersinafrica it absolutely does!!! Even now being in the states I’m questioning what I should pack and what I shouldn’t! We brought the tv because I knew that electronics are very expensive abroad. So shipping one or bringing on the plane is much cheaper. I am definitely trying to find useful things to bring with me on my next trip. I know that they have things in Africa but the quality isn’t there. Did you have anything shipped?
Very true. We visited Rwanda. The kids didn’t really like the food. Our cleaner took everything that the kids didn’t like or wouldn’t eat. Alhamdulilah, I never had to throw anything away.
You’re doing a good job sister right decision a lot of us didn’t think about this Alhamdulillah our children are grown they doing OK they religion is somewhat OK but I could have done a better job but you are doing a great job moving back home don’t worry about a college they can always come back when they are strong in their faith nothing can change insha Allah
May Allah guide and make things easier for the ummah
May Allah aid you and increase you and your family in worshiping Him! Your dua was 'heartfelt' sis!. Oh changer of hearts , make our hearts firm upon Your religion!
Ameen🤲🏾Jazakallahukhair!!
Good day, thank you for sharing... trust and believe when information is planted in our children it's in there coming from a family where my father side was Muslim, and my mother side was Baptist I learned from them both when i would go to work in the early am i would hear the call to prayer and it would turn me around to pray but i couldn't be late for work, i would see men praying on the streets of Philly and that was wonderful to me to see. Now i seen a brother point a AK at another brother was disheartening some of the people seem it's just a evilness and young people young men and young women killing, shooting it makes me pray more than before. I'M happy for you and your families that's there with you because it takes a village to raise children and adults, I'm proud of you just woman to woman prayers to the MOST HIGH for us and our families
Thank you for sharing. I appreciate this!❤
Assalamoalaikum sister,
Barakahumuallah,
I tried the same thing with my family.
InshahAllah you will be rewarded.
May Allah give toufiq to our other Muslim brothers and sisters in Islam to do the same.
Walaykumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatu, thank you!!
i feel like you are the kind of person i can listen to for hours i wouldn't be bored
Mashallah am half way through the video and being a new revert it was so much in my mind to be in a country where Islam is practised for the sake of my child too.its challenging for me right now because of her school but I know intime Allah is making a way...InshaAllah
Thank you for watching ❤️. Yes Allah will always make a way. May He bless you with goodness and give you the best life, Ameen. Thank you for leaving this comment.
Hope you see these two video

You are a great Muslim mother, we ask God the almighty to be with you.
Assalamu aleykum dear sister, MashAllah, I'm proud of you. My husband me and our 6 children moved from Germany to Mauritania also in october 2021. Alhamdulillah. We are almost neighbors 😊. I would like to contact you, if it's possible! I am a white woman,with a black husband, sometimes i have a really hard time here though, feeling a bit lonely,but Alhamdulillah,our children are much more into Islam now!
السلام عليكم عليكم الله وبركاته...
How are you sister, I hope that you and your family are doing good in my home country. Mauritania is a good environment to raise children, especially Quran and Islamic manners, and it humbles you because life isn't luxurious there. I had the same experience it's hard until you adjust. May Allah make things easier for you 🙏.
@@mariemouhabibe6318 wa aleykum Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu dear sister. Thank you for your response, jazak allahu kheir. Yeah you are right. But where do you live now,if i may ask?
Alhamdulillah we are doing quite well, though it is still not easy,but live is not made to be easy. How are you? Barak allahu feeki, Assalamu aleykum
ما أنضج عقلك و أرزنك كأمّ مسلمة يا آمنة !! اللّهم الصٌلاح و الفلاح و النّجاح لجميع أبناء المسلمين أينما كانوا على ظهر الأرض ..يا ربّ .. آمين ...آمين.. 🌺

Masha’Allah! May Allah BLESS you and your family in this life and hereafter sis.
Maasha Allah TabarakAllah what a beautiful Muslim family Allahumabarik🙌🏾😊❤️
Na’am sis exactly what I people about my kids…I fear my kids becoming disbelievers here in America as well and I fear my Lord Allaah azza wa jal… In shaa Allaah my family will be making hijrah to The Gambia this year. May Allaah subhanahu wa ta’ala bless you and your family
Iam muslim from sudan. And I Support u very much
This means a lot to me! Jazakallahukhair
Peace and blessings; you are a beautiful queen of the Most High Elohim of Yisrael., from the tribe Judah. Your videos are outstanding. I pray that the Most High blesses you and your family and that he pours His spirit of discernment and understanding upon your Soul. Shalom Achoti
Sis - what is your IG?? I"M trying to get to Gambia - I'm Muslmk of course, and my lil girl down there in Janbul. Yes. I want her to stay there as Islam is more prevalent and I want her to go to good Islam schools.
الله يوفقك ويسعدك ويصلح لكي الذرية آمين يارب العالمين. لقد اخترتي الخيار الصحيح..👍
maa shaa Allah, may Allah SW protect your family. meanwhile you have to control them despite been in the Gambia because our societies are toxic. and i will want to propose to one of your children, am i invited
Maa Sha Allah khayruin may Allah subhana wa ta a'la keep you steadfast and keep your kid's on what's correct Allahumma Ameen. I understand uhkti exactly why I wanna relocate to a islamic country for the sake of Allah
Ameen, may Allah bless you with the same and better Inshallah!❤
May Allah Ta'alaa reward you ukhti. More Muslims in the west (dhar al kufr) should choose to make hijrah. Just to strive to obey Allah Ta'alaa and safeguard one's islam.
Mashallah sister ! I totally commend you for this ! May Allah reward you for your efforts on becoming a better muslim . I’ve been thinking about moving to a different country with my daughter for the same reasons . May Allah continue to guide you and your beautiful family 🤲🏽🥰
Mashallah sister a lot of my Muslim brothers and sisters in Norway have been getting less Muslim and doing zina. It’s very nice to live in Norway but it’s not a Muslim country but you did I great choice sister mashallah
The naysayers haven't a clue and, in fact, they're living in the material world. They don't understand that for those who believe, there is nothing the material world has to offer that can equal earning the Favor of Allah (swt). May He bless you for your intention; in this way even if you fail (and i pray you don't) Allah (swt) will grant you what you intend. Actually, i have contemplated making a similar move as the US increasingly seems determined to follow the shaitan.
Your channel was recommended to me and I'm so happy it was. ❤️
I appreciate this, welcome ❤❤
True sister very well said .
This richness one day gets into people's head .
People become severely depressed and loose the focus and motivation.
That's very common in rich & developed countries.
You don't know what real life is and what's your purpose of life.
MashAllah you made a very wise decision. 👌
We r trying to move from US to Gambia inshaAllah im Moroccan so we r still deciding between Morocco and Gambia, but we feel like we ll be able to buy a house in Gambia and not worry about rent inshaAllah
Im struggling too im batteling aganst what the teachers show i hear them singing Christmas music and my young daughter told me she want to wear hijab but her friends at school are not Muslims by the way she s 4 years old she s feeling it and trying to blend in
May Allah guide and protect your family sister. Am 25 and i see whats happening in the west. I am making plans to raise my family in Gambia inshallah
I love the simple low key relaxed life in Africa in Morocco is like that too it s not as stressful as US the only problem is finding jobs other then that life is much enjoyable and you can hear adhan everywhere and there is always a masjid near by whenever it s time to pray you just have to walk in and finish prayer and the. Continue going where you want to go
Wow Hijra hair Allah ?!! Mashallah may Allah bless you for your courage and sacrifice for him. Amen
Masa Allah what a peaceful land. You can walk 🚶♀️ outside freely in Gambia
Subhanallah you are an inspirational to us Muslims living in the west may allah bless you
Great family God bless you all
Greetings from Dubai 🤜🏼🤍🤛🏼
Salam aleykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu sister, may Allah reward you with the best in this life and the next, to you and your family. I agree 100% with you, we was created not to be good in college to have a good life here in dunya but to worship Allah. I was living in Gambia 2 years unfortunately my marriage didn't worked, but I'm trying to go back in sha Allah as a single mum is not easy but with the help of Allah I will do my hijrah in sha Allah.🥰
Walaykumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatu, May Allah bless you with better than what you lost Ameen. Jazakallahukhair Sister ❤️. I pray that Allah blesses you and your children with the best of this life and the next life.

Sister has lots of Iman
Masa Allah sister watching your video from NC USA totally understand what you are saying and you put it nicely what is the price tag for if your kid or kids becomes unbelievers for me if the whole world wealth is in front of me but my kids lose islam and become murtid I have lost everything.
💯❤❤❤
Allahumma Barik 🌻 may allah reward you Ameen
As salaamu alaykum sister, you are 100% correct. May Allah swt make it easy for you and your family. Ameen . Many of us are not realizing the impact of the society in USA is having on us and our children. I was very pleased to see your TH-cam channel, an AA MUSLIM women, showing us and telling us what we need to hear. There are currently many TH-cam channels about Africa and The Gambia but Alhamdulillah we Muslim woman can relate to your situation. Thank you so much.
