- I made Hijrah to Morocco 8 years ago and this was my children's first school. It has been a more Islamic School than what we would have found in UK but we have now found a school not far away that focuses on Quran and we no no longer attend this school, however it could still be a good transitional step when moving to Morocco from Europe / UK. I will release a new video about the Quran school soon inShaAllah!
Regarding getting a job, the most convenient option I found is an online teaching job with EF English LIVE because you can open and close your availability as it suits you. I have an account with them so contact me on whatsapp or email (details below) for the referral link if you would like to pursue this. May Allah facilitate your journey to Him Ameen!

In Morocco, as in all countries, it takes time to adapt. If you stay for a while, you'll eventually adapt.
Admittedly, not everything is as organised, as clean or as fast as in the UK
Admittedly, some of the population has a tendency to westernise (part of the bourgeoisie who idealise the West too much).
But Morocco does have some advantages over the UK (or USA):
- Women can wear the hijab without risk (and men can wear quamis) and without risking a racist attack.
- There are more mosques (with adhan)
- religion is easier to practise (halal meat, Ramadan, eid festivals, etc.)
- Life is cheap for a European.
- it's a safer country (of course, there are bad people in Morocco, as there are everywhere).
- Unlike some Western countries, some bad things will never be taught to your children in school, even private schools, and you'll never see anything weird in administrative papers (like "gender indeterminate", "parent 1", "parent 2" for g*y couples...). And a child will never say to your child: "I've got two dads or two mums’’ !
- There is much less tax than in some European countries.
- There's more sunshine than in the UK.
-...
Prefer Casablanca or Marrakech if you like city life.
In the beginning that can be quite difficult but over Time , In the long run, you will see that the advantages of living in Morocco outweigh the disadvantages.

I have been looking into hijra to Morocco and videos like this are a gem. Ma shaa Allah brother may Allah reward you for your efforts. Jazakallah
InshaAlloh planning to move there soon. Jazaka Allohu khairan for the video
Thank you very much for making this video. It’s was informative.
Alhamdulillah thank you for the comment.
We moved recently to a quieter part of Fes - in the outskirts - I'll record some vlogs showing this area soon inShaAllah
Teachers in moroco as slaves
Brother, for some feedback, hope you will not mind....the background music is quite annoying. But love the content, keep it up.
Thanks for the feedback my brother. Sorry about the annoying background! I put it there beause with just me talking I thought it sounded a bit empty .. but I'll try to use something else next time :)
As-salaam alaikum wa rahmatullah. We are planning on staying in Morocco (Northern region) for a few months over the summer period insha'Allah before making our official move insha'Allah. Do you know if there are any Arabic, Qur'an and Islamic Studies programmes for children during this time? I understand schools will be on a summer break but was wondering if there are learning centres or institutes where children can also learn. Do you know of other ways children can improve their Arabic and Qur'an whilst in Morocco for a short period? JazaakAllahu khair
Wa Alaikum Assalam I am sorry about the late reply
I would recommend trying to start a routine of completing the Quran once a month at home - and when you come to Morocco you can benefit from the group recitation of half a juz after Fajr and half a juz after Maghrib
I dont have any particular knowledge of institutions I'm afraid but wherever you go, you are bound to find plenty of private Arabic teachers who could come and give lessons inShaAllah
JazaakAllahu khairan
Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmetullah wa barakatuh clc Institut in Tanger is making courses for children fusha and quran
Makes me want to take my children and move there!
Jazakallahu khayran for posting videos like this. Please continue to post more contents. They're very useful. Maybe video of showing how Fez looks. Many want to make hijrah but are confused about where to go.
brother the background humming is a bit too much... you dont need it. masha'Allah the content is enough.
Thanks for the feedback, will avoid it for the next vlog inShaAllah
@@QuranHomeschool Jazak Allahu Khairan. Great content!
Jazakallah, an informative video, much appreciated.
Kind regards,

Thank you for the comment Nargis - May Allah open the doors of khair for you and your family. Sameer
Do you think it's liveable coming from Australia?
Yes but it depends on your personal levels of adaptability and patience
Ma shaa Allah, do you know if there are any schools like this in Casablanca? With a similar Islamic character
The best approach is to visit as many schools as possible and inShaAllah you will find one that is suitable; May Allah faciliate
Asalamualykum warahmatullaah wabarakatu..
Please can i get in contact with you
Wa Alaikum Assalam waRahmatullah waBarakaatuh brother. Yes you will find my whatsapp in the video description. Voice notes usually work best inShaAllah. Sameer
planning to go there from Germany. what about jobs and salary? I'm working in IT. also, what about citizenship or resistance permit?
But non maroc children can go there to school?
Visa is only 90 days I think🤔
Yes they can and they dont to participate to islam lessons or islam test
جميل جدا 👍
بارك الله فيك 🙂
فيديو رائع وهادف جزاك الله خيرا 👍👍👍👍
Assalamu alaikum brother JazakAllahu khairan for sharing this video with us. I have to say that I am leaning on bringing my family to Fez now just to go to this school. My plan is to move within a year or two inshaAllah. By then my kids would be around 8,7, and 3 inshaAllah. My wife is Moroccan, from el jadida, we love it there but for the kids we are looking for a suitable school for them inshaAllah. Whats the name of this school?
Wa Alaikum Assalam brother sorry I just saw your comment
This school is called Ibn Zahr but we actually moved our kids to another school a year ago - With private schools when the teachers change the atmosphere can also change somewhat. There are many other schools like this in most cities, but sometimes it just takes a bit of looking around. We found that the most ideal living environment is in the outskirts of any city so thats where we have moved now. May Allah guide you to what is best!
ما شاء الله عليكم وشكرا جزيلا
Mansha allah
Asalamualaikum brother. You are lucky to have hijra chance. How did you get residence permit to live there? Have you got permanent or what?
Wa Alaykum Assalam brother. Initially I worked as an English teacher in a language center and they offered me a work permit, but I actually didn't need that because I am married to a Moroccan so I got my residence permit based on my marriage. So your options are either getting a job, getting married or just applying for a visitor visa to begin with
@@QuranHomeschoolMy wife got also a Morocco passport and a German. She's born in German but her parents are from Morocco. So me as a German can live there whenever I want? Living there 3 years for example and coming back to Germany.?
@@BetterCallSaul603ihr müsst in Deutschland heiraten und dann bei der marokkanischen Botschaft es anerkennen lassen damit ihr in Marokko offiziell verheiratet seid.
Dann kriegst du Aufenthalt durch deine Frau
What is your ethnicity brother?
my father in Indian, mother is Pakistani and I was born and raised in London UK
Why they dont teach young girls to wear hijaab at this although its not wajib its good way to bring up kids.
And what about the kids who are if aged 8-10..will they struggle interms of understanding the language…My kids know english they understand english but Arabic or french would be a challenge
That would be a challenge - In the beginning you could just focus on getting their Arabic level up through private classes, and then consider a schooling option
Salaam, thank you for this video very informative. Do you think a young child from the UK who only speaks English struggle in a school such as this or are the teachers able to accommodate for a child who is learning Arabic as they go?
Wa Alaikum Assalam! I think the younger the child is the easier it will be (especially pre school which is a very easygoing and relaxed atmosphere) but even for ages 7+ you could consider enrolling them in the last year of pre school for one year just to get their language skills up to speed a bit . So overall I think it would definitely be an adjustment for a child who doesn’t know Arabic (or French) but this type of school setting and immersion is the best way to pick up the language for kids in my opinion . How old is the child you’re thinking of?
@@QuranHomeschool okay good to know thank you! she has just turned 5
@@peoplearestrange234 that's a good age to learn any language. May Allah Grant you and her success Ameen
Salam,
What about a 8 year old
And do you know any school that doesn’t teach French since it’s just waste of time.
Thanks
JazakAllahukhairan for the video Sameer. Would the £50-£80 be International private schools?
No unfortunately international private schools are usually much more expensive - perhaps double? For younger children the normal Moroccan schools are better I think -as they are less affected by the western model of civilization and the pop culture/fitna that can come with it. But as the kids get older and need to think about GcSES etc perhaps some international school opions could be better
What should be a minimum monthly salary for a person with a family of 5 if we are moving from India
I think at least between 1 to 2000 Euros
Assalamualaikum brother. Your video is quite informative. Zajhakallahu khairan. Can u pls help by inform me the list of cities of morocco where this type of ISLAMIC BRITISH CuRRICULUM school is ? Or any other curriculum but islamic english medium?
All cities have these types of schools because the system follows the national curriculum. All schools in Morocco require Islamic Studies to be part of the education. In terms of an Islamic Environment though, the quieter villages are better than the busier or more modern cities
@@QuranHomeschool zajhakallahu khairan
Salam brother. We want to move from Uk to Morocco. My kids are 12 ,11 ,7 and 4. 3 of them can read Quran .Is it easy to move to Morocco or not as we don’t like Uk education system as my daughter uses phone a lot and Uk school kids have a bad impact on her. Please reply to this.
wa alaikum assalam brother - It will be easier for the 7 and 4 year olds to adapt as they can pick up Arabic and French and start in year 1 or preschool - but for the 12 and 11 year olds it might be difficult as the education system is in french or arabic - There would be private schools which use the western system and perhaps the English language but I dont know about any in particular
Before you decide on any country or location just visit first for a short family holiday and you will be able to get a more accurate idea inshaAllah
Jazaka Allah khairan.
Can you also please give some information about which school you went in uk. Islamic or non Islamic. How did you learn all information about Islam as we live in uk and i am worried about my kids future as they go to uk state schools. I teach them Quran at home but it is not enough still.
I made hijrah to morocco 9 years ago. How can I connect with you guys? I would like to help and learn...
We are in same boat , Please I would like to connect with someone who is homeschooling their kids,
Assalamualaykum brother! I want to Hijrah to Morocco with my family from USA, If you can please give me advice about how to get residency there what documents do I need , how long doses it take and fees. Please if you can help me with this JazaakAllah
@@sanjidakadri3089 Well as a foreigner you need to have a job or a lot of money to get residency. Knowing arabic or french is also pretty helpful to get paperwork done. You best inform yourself from other Americans living in morocco.
@@KingKreem Thank you so much for getting back I really appreciate it!!
