18:01 interesting approach, as my Moroccan husband and I consider moving to Morocco because we want an easy start for our child. Life is slower, Islamic society and therefore less discrimination against. Excited to follow your journey, inchallah it’ll be a blessing for you 🤲🏻
living in a Muslim country has a good impact on a person in terms of his obedience to Allah, worship and raising his children, just as living in a non-Muslim country has a bad impact, and may even be destructive sometimes, especially for young people who grow up in that country. Overcoming this impact requires an immense effort, along with good planning, raising children properly, and cooperating with other Muslims there to create a righteous environment in which boys and girls can grow up.
Yes, that is how Muslims planned it with their conquests which eliminated through persecution all other religions. That is Islam's end-game.
And, the supremacy shines through in your statement.
@@politics3914What do you mean?
Oh my god how I wish I could go back and live in a Muslim country again. I’m working on it tho. The west sucks the life out of you, if it wasn’t for being a Muslim and keeping to my deen as much as I can I don’t know what I would do.
@@politics3914so what’s the problem? Islam is a superior way of life and that is a fact.
Although it might be difficult at first, I wish you & your family will enjoy exploring and finding your place in the new place. Nice to be kids, they're so innocent and malleable like you said, thank God to hear it's kind of easier for them to blend in. Hope it'll get easier for you too.
Nice to see your well, allhamdulilla.
As salaamu alaikum! Lovely video and love how vulnerable you get. My sis actually sent me your video! I'm also a family of 5 and I have a 5 year old as well. I'm open to make friends as well 😊 May Allah make your transition easy
I'm proud to be a Muslim Alhamdulillah
Unrelated, but actually i bought a Moroccan-inspired furniture kit in a life simulation game, the furniture and flooring look very beautiful. And i like the pattern on your sofa and the hanging picture at the background. I like your outfit too, look so comfy.
Check Rabat Sale and Kenitra. Those places will blow your mind with the scenic views
الحمد لله اختي بارك الله فيك
I also moved abroad and its so hard making friends when you’ve got young kids :(
Je travaille à Tanger et c'est une très belle ville pour y vivre... propre sûr pas trop grande...des gens sympas... plusieurs écoles privées...
My husband is Moroccan and this is something I have considered but the language barrier is putting me off as I cannot speak Darija and also knowing no one (except my husbands family) that scares me 😂but I don't believe I want to stay in England forever
Actually some good news is that Morocco is slowly changing their official second language to from French to English so insha Allah English is the future for Morocco ;)
There are some really good channels on TH-cam for learning Darija, like olive house or effective Arabic
Welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦❤️
It was interesting to hear about the differences between the UK and Morocco.
Yeah, as soon as I saw the title, I clicked on it.
بارك الله فيك
amazing content
The way you described speaking darija, that's me! I can't understand the conversation but am so nervous about responding. I have such a southern accent and am so worried the pronunciation will not be correct!
Yeah it’s definitely a challenge! I’m trying to push myself more to just be uncomfortable and give it a go because I won’t learn otherwise 🥲
Asalaam wa alaikum sister I pray your well ameen maybe try out going to your local masjid to find sisters in your community InshaAllah
Looking forward to learning more about your experience living in Morocco, sister. ❤
You look glowing mashaAllah 🤩☺️
Thank you 😊
I've heard Malaysia in the video (yeay😃) but unfortunately yeah it can be very far for you and your families 🥲
MashaAllah sister. We are moving to marrakech as a family. There is a growing community of expats from the UK there. Not sure where you are. My wife would be thrilled to meet you as she is also looking to extend the Muslim expats connection in Morocco.
Congratulations and welcome to Islam, and welcome to morocco 🇲🇦.
Marrakech is a great city to live in my opinion. The weather is nice throughout the year and it's a clean city. But there is so many other great places in morocco
Mashallah
I’m thinking of making the same move as u but as a single parent so much to process work housing ect ..
Thank you for sharing. What part of Morocco are you in? Also what homeschool program are you using paid or free? I am also in California. Did you bring any of your things shipping?? Or just what you could pack.
The city of tangier is a beautiful place for you and your famille i recommande it
Yes but unfortunately no English schools !
اتمنا لكم حياه سعيده
In Tunisia it’s the same, something is always not working right 😂 the sink always blocks too ahhh yeah and the toilet
come and settled in Malaysia
Salam sister, where are you living in Morocco?
So I am in the same situation, I have 3 kids 1/2 Moroccan looking to relocate possibly
Long time no see.
👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
I am from EU and want to move to Morocco. Do you have any advice for finding a house in Morocco, with room for a kitchen garden. Preferably not in the city. I can only find like tourist locations.😅
Agadir will be better place for u honey the weather is fantastic plus y can go and enjoy the beach with the kids
Bestie if your husband ever changes his mind about Australia then we would love to have you 😂❤
You should make some vlogs of Morocco
In shaa Allah will do!
How Can WE communicate
Je suis jeune marocain félicitation bq bq

Hii dont feel like u are bothring ppl in morocco we love talking 😂😂 and when your kids are in school u'll find it more easier
It's interesting to follow your journey and I hope God will make it easier for you and your family as time passes ❤
I am from the Netherlands and my husband is from India (born and raised and left India at age 21). I've lived in 8 countries including a few non-Western countries (Turkey, South Africa, Sri Lanka) and of course spend quite some time in India. I recognise a lot of things from your video from the countries I've lived in and it does not make life easy in general. Personally I believe the best you can do is enroll your kids in school, since building community in a country where you don't speak the language is even harder when you homeschool your children. On top of that you don't work, which also makes it much harder to meet people. I didn't speak the language properly in about 90% of the 8 countries I lived in and it has a significant impact on your life.
We have now settled in Ireland (even bought a house) and it's the most wholesome place I have ever lived. Very relaxed and not Islamophobic at all. It's the only Western country without a right-wing political party 😅 Personally I'd never want to live in the UK (my mam lives there now). On the other hand, cost of living in Ireland is the highest in Europe, so from that perspective it's not the best place to move to.
I hope you will find your place and may God bless you and your family ❤
On another (very personal) note, I went to Morocco back in 2016. I am a convert and found it very hard to be allowed inside the mosques. In Morocco (or at least the cities), non-Muslims are not allowed to enter the mosques, and one woman and her granddaughter even scolded me for minutes outside the mosque, accusing me of pretending to be Muslim (keep in mind I was wearing full hijab). It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I have never felt that degraded. And no one did anything until one woman came and ensured the scolding woman that I am Muslim and she took me inside. Apart from that it was generally hard to pray inside smaller mosques and the men would always sent me away, resulting in me either missing my prayers or having to pray in an uncomfortable open space. My husband really wants to go to Morocco but my experience was generally so bad, and I have been to over 40 countries. But these experiences really stayed with me although it's been like 7 years now. I'm just venting here honestly but I do hope to go back one day and make happier memories 😊
@@KaazzKippWhat the heck?! Why did they do that?! What accusation did they have? Don’t have that!
Where do you live in Morocco (city)? And do you recommend that city?
I won’t post it publicly just for safety reasons as its a smaller town, but feel free to message me on my Instagram! We’re on the coast outside of Casablanca 🤍 but will likely relocate in autumn
Beautiful islam Quran hijab my sister 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Nouman ALI KHAN, great lectures online on modern not salafi islam but not secular
How about people for who don't believe and don't agree on converting faith...?
Moroccans are welcoming. it doesn't matter your beliefs. Nobody is going to force you to revert.
I am wondering if you have succeeded finally to make friends
Nope 😂
May Allah/God makes it easy for you, and help you getting the best choice for you and your family ..
In Morocco the majority of the people are muslims, but the corrupted regime/system as a direct product of colonial period, is not as muslim friendly/ Islam faithful , if not worse ...Also this have a negative impact, on traditional values for the youth and society ...education system and infrastructure...
On other hand it's up to people and educated ones to have a contribution in making the people/society better ...
In Any case homeschooling for children is a good option, at least for until the age of 8/10, and provide the kids with basic values education ...could not be easy, but for sure a high value investment...
Regarding outdoor, I think the best solution would be to find a suitable places within a radius of 20/30 km and go there by car..
Any way, I'm confident that smart and courageous people like you, with Allah/God's help, will find solution even in case of hardship/difficulties ..and definitely raise a distinguished/valuable "moroccan"/US members/family...
Keep up and be blessed 👍🌻🌼
النظام في المغرب لا يمنعك من ممارسة معتقداتك كيفما كانت و في نفس الوقت النظام غير مسؤول على تقصيرك في عبادتك لأنه أمر يعود لك
و حتى لا تقول بأنني مطبل للنظام فيكفيك أن تعلم أنه في المغرب هناك الآلاف من دور تحفيظ القرآن الكريم و أصول الفقه و تعاليم الدين و تخصص لها الدولة ميزانية كبيرة لكن ما لا يعرفه كثيرين أن هناك ميزانية أخرى ضخمة و لنفس الغرض هي من عند الملك محمد السادس مباشرة
هل زرت المغرب من قبل ومنعت من اداء واجبك الديني هل تعرفين اكبر عدد حافضين القران الكريم في العالم هم مغاربه هل فعلمك ان مسابقات تجويد القران في العالم اغلب الفاءزين مغاربه هل في علمك ان مزال عندنا كتاتيب لي تلقين الاطفال القران الكريم علا الطريقه تقليديه هل في علمك ان عدد المساجد في المغرب يبلغ 54000الف الرسميه فقط لمادا هد الافتراء والكدب
هذا ميكون غي كرغولي او كرغولية مليون بالمائة اوربي حثى لو كان يعادي الإسلام لا اظن أنه يتكلم على نظام المملكة فهو معروف من يعادي المملكة والمغاربة بشكل عام اكثر من الغربيين
Does your husband have a channel, contact? Just I don’t watch sisters
He will soon in shaa Allah!
Salam sister, just a friendly reminder and advice. as a muslima mother and wife, you should stay in the home and focus on your family and self. When you do go out go out with your husband only. You should not insert yourself outside, unless it is at a masjid with fellow sisters. Not even at their homes because like anywhere in the world, it is risky and you just dont know people ad their intentions. Many younger moroccan girls speak english but are also becoming very westernized, so there's no benefits really from going outside for 'connections'. Basically be careful of the company you keep. A muslima wife and mother should be content with her husband and family. Speaking with men outside or "community" unless with your husband and even with, is not permitted by Allah Almighty. Continue to focus on your relationship with Allah azza wa jall. al Quran Kareem and islamic studies. That is the best way to live in the sight of Allah for a Muslima. InshaAllah you will continue to learn and obey, Allah Subahana wa ta ala's commands, and the Sunnah of Rasoolullah, sala Allahu alayhi wa salam. Your husband may give you such freedoms but your duty is to Allah swt first and pleasing Allah is the Ultimate success. In this life and the hereafter, All the best to you and yours.
Waleykoum salaam, JazakAllah kheir for the advice sis and while I appreciate your perspective, my children need outdoor time and to do things outside of the home. It is unhealthy to keep them in the home 24/7, myself included. No one said anything about befriending random men, so I’m not sure why that assumption would be made at all.
Of course we should avoid free mixing and going to dubious places but as a mother or in general as a human you cannot be sat at home 24/7 and isolate yourself. Husbands are busy her husband won't sit by her side to hold her hands and every human should have at least one or two connections beyond that husband. A good neighbor or a good friend. Isolating yourself and only seeing your kids day in and out does really take a toll on a human and I am saying this as a single mother of two. And in morocco even taking the kids to the park will get you chatting as the people notice you as a foreigner. And that is beautiful I think. It doesn't mean that you have to be friends for life but having conversations with locals really helps and encourages our development I believe.
@@ZahraZahra-fx9qb Noone said to "isolate" yourself. You can go outside with FEMALE friends. And it should be practicing Muslimas who fear Allah and remind you of Allah azza wa jall. Allah subhana wa 'ta 'ala and His Messenger Sala Allahu Alayhi wa Salam are VERY clear in the bounderies of what is permissible and what is not, as far as male and female interractions. If they are non Mahram, than it is not permissible for you "conversate" with locals of male gender. to encourage "development.' Only out of absolute necessity, when your hsuband is not around. such as markets ect. that conversating should only be limited to the business at hand. Al Islam cannot be changed to suit ones opinions, or conveniences, to make more "modern" nor for any desires of this world. And Allah knows best.
It's sad that Morocco is another hell-hole ruined by Western colonialism and neo-colonialism. It's good that it still has some remnants of Islam, though.
Unfortunately, there is no Muslim country is Establish Shari'ah 100% But remain better option Than staying in a country spread and defend immorality.
That's funny. You have no idea of how Islam spread throughout North Africa -- the Magreb -- you ever heard of "the sword"?
Terrible and unconscionable what the Arabs did to the Berbers as they conquered their way through.
You do know that Morocco was also colonised by the Arabs right ? What are you even talking about ?
@@Daniella1117It was for a very short période of time in the 7th century (30ish years)
Stop lying. I'm an shelh amazigh and we don't see ourselves as victims occupied by arabs. Our King is half arab half Amazigh. The two greatest Moroccan Dynasties that ruled over Spain are 100% Amazigh (Almoravids and Almohad). And Morocco was only occupied by foreign arab entity for 40 years (by the omeyyads in the 7th century). All the other dynasties are either Amazigh or mixed, like the crurent Alaouite dynasty. So yeah, stop projecting what you see in other countries onto Morocco.
Your intro is too long
Moroccan Ex-muslim (Atheist) I feel sorry for you.
Muslim countries are ones of the most corrupt in the world for unknown reason. yet Islam is great and has nothing to do with that, right?
Right. It is because people don’t follow Islam correctly.
Do you assume that there's no corruption in America or the UK? You sound incredibly naive, and blaming Islam for the actions of people is just wishful thinking on your part.
What's funny is I follow uk and US polticis. I live in the UK. The amount of corruption that we have is bigger then what you think. The corruption is so big it causes wars I.e Iraq, Afghanistan and much more.
Morroco has smaller corruption problems that don't involved killimg of innocents. Just remmber western colonialism ruined morroco, Algeria etc.
They to this day are still trying to take your countries natural resources through so called government contracts that may look good to laymen, but they intend to deprive the nation of its resources.
India is a great example. The UK stole 90% or more of its natural resources before leaving. The amount they stole is in the trillions. Remmber they appear inncoent but they are far from it. They just appear civilised but they are the real gangsters.
Islam.is a perfect way of life. You as an atheist may like to live the life of a non muslim. In reality they (non muslim) commit suicide, have high depression and divorce rates, have morality issues that you can't imagine. To put it simply, they are unhappy. Muslims how er have hope foe the best life in the hear after. Our hope is far greater than what you see this life to be. Life has problems always for everyone. Rich or poor. We know this life is not the final. You may do but we don't.
May Allah guide you.
Exposing your family in TH-cam …..
