Salamualaikum, i live in canada which is a pretty tolerant country, especially when compared to most countries in europe, and overall a very nice place to live. I'm just wondering what is the best muslim country to live in, because Dajjal is coming out in the open soon, or visit, because I've never been to my home country of Afghanistan or any other muslim countries and can only remember visiting family in California. Visiting the rest of the world is something very interesting to me as I sometimes feel like a bird in a cage. Your answers are appreciated.

If you have the capacity to travel, I would suggest for you to travel to several Muslim countries of your choice to get first hand experience of the locals. You're going to have to weight Islamic traditions against local cultures in some of the areas before you can get a good picture of the place.

Another option is to check on Muslim Village project;

and other project as that.

Hope that helps.

Allah Knows Best.

My brother, I would suggest either Indonesia or Malaysia. It seems like you can practice your deen freely and it is rather cheap to live in a style that you are accustomed to here in the West in terms of the quality of food, housing, etc.

Furthermore, it is no prone to violence like Pakistan, Yemen, etc. nor will you have to suffer discrimination from your hosts like you would in countries like Saudi Arabia for instance.

I really think more Muslims should give Malaysia and Indonesia a second look.

Malaysia and Indonesia have their benefits, but like all places, do not expect it to be perfect. Indonesians are generally not considered very religious by some Muslims in South East Asia. Malaysia has good conservative places, like Kelantan and parts of Terenganu, while other places might not be so great. It depends on what you measure by. If it is the Kitab and Sunnah, all places fall short.

wa Allahu a´lam.

I will tell you what I think I will choose for myself___________If I have a choice I would love to live in Makkah, Madina or Jeddah_____ Next choice would be Malaysia.

Saying that Allah knows best what is good for us, so inshaAllah where ever we live we should live following the commandments of Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala as shown by our Beloved RasoolAllah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam, inshaAllah there will be Khair in it for us and for all.

If you aren't thinking of Saudi then UAE is a nice country to visit or stay for Muslims who grew up in the West as it is a wealthy modern Muslim country and there are people from many countries there.

It is far from being a perfect Muslim country, but its a nice place where there are many, many masjids and it is nice to be somewhere where you hear the adhaan from many masjids if you have grown up without it.

Abu Dhabi is very beautiful city to stay but in Sharjah (above Dubai a little) people are nicer and it is a little more religious and if you ever want anything in Dubai it is just down the road.

although if you want somewhere more authentic why not Morocco?

Anyway if you wait a little, InshaAllah Syria will be ruled by the Sunnis again soon and it may become the best Muslim country then InshaAllah.

lol if you are looking somewhere to hide from Dajjal tell me when you find it and I will come too

until tell (and after) then you can recite first and last ten ayat of Surah Kahf every day and think about their meaning, it protects from the trickery of Dajjal InshaAllah

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________


Question:
In these uncertain days for the Muslims we must prepare ourselves for the fitna of the Dajjal. I have heard that you are to memorise the last ten ayats of Surat al-Kahf but some websites have said that it is the first ten. Can you please clarify whether it is the last or the first ten that should be memorised?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu alaikum,

The recommendation of reciting both the beginning and ending ten verses of Surat al-Kahf (the 18th sura of the Qur�an) has been transmitted from the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). It is also recommended to recite the entire sura on Fridays. [see below]

Imam Mundhiri (Allah have mercy on him) devoted a chapter of his al-Targhib wa�l Tarhib (�Encouragement and Warning�) to this,

� Encouraging reciting Surat Kahf, or Ten Verses from its Beginning or Ten from its End

Abu al-Darda� (Allah be pleased with him) related that the Prophet of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said, �Whoever commits ten verses from the beginning Surat al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal.� [Muslim, Abu Dawud, Nasa�i, and others; the wording is Muslim�s]�

In a narration in Muslim and Abu Dawud it states, �From the end of Surat al-Kahf.� Tirmidhi related is with the words, �Whoever recites three verses from the beginning of al-Kahf will be protected from the tribulations of the Dajjal.� [Mundhiri, al-Targhib wa�l Tarhib, #2172-2173]

Imam Shafi`i (Allah have mercy on him) said in his Umm,

�It has reached us that whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Fridays will be protected from the Dajjal.� [Shafi`i, al-Umm, 1.239]

It is recommended to recite Surat al-Kahf completely the night before Friday, and it is also recommended to do so Friday itself, before Maghrib time. Ibn Abidin said, �And it is best to do so early on Friday, in order to rush to the good and to avoid forgetting.� [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, �Bab al-Jumu`ah�]

The evidence for it being recommended includes the hadith related by Hakim and Bayhaqi, from Abu Sa`id (Allah be pleased with him), �Whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Friday, light shall shine forth for him between the two Fridays.� [Ibn Hajar, Talkhis al-Habīr]

The wisdom behind it, as mentioned by hadith commentators such as Nawawi, Qurtubi, Qari, and others, is that:

a) There are tremendous signs and portents mentioned in these verses. However reads these regularly and ponders on their meanings with not be led astray by the Dajjal;

b) The surah as a whole has stories of the struggle between true belief in Allah and the realities of faith, and materialism. Reflecting on any of these

c) It is a secret whose knowledge Allah alone posses, and we have follow it because of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace)�s guidance, with full certainty.

And Allah knows best.

Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani

Most people on this thread have so far given some very wrong advice in my opinion apart from a few exceptions like brother refai. Now let me start. Those who are suggesting Turkey....come on you guys are off your head. A country which until today praises mustafa kamal ata kufr....How do you expect to get a job with a beard. The same with Malaysia. As brother refai has mentioned most of the muslims are very lax and proper islam. There is also severe discrimination in Malaysia and is not just limited to saudi arabia. The hindu malaysians and chinese are ever increasing and it looks like one day non-muslims will rule the place. A sister who posts on this forum is from Malaysia. It is very hard to find a good job and inflation is very high. You will be working long hours and will get hardly any leave. The islam is some modernist islam some twisted ideology first initiated by mahatir and then consolidated by his successor.

Then brother abdul has mentioned UAE. UAE has many good points but I will write about UAE in a few weeks after I leave the country (you can guess why). By the way brother Abdul the azaan in abu dhabi is only recited live in the shaykh zayd road and the rest of the masjids transmit the same azaan..............now you tell me....UAE is a non-muslim majority country with philipinos and mushriks the majority. I better stop for now (wait a few weeks)

It wasn't always like that with the adhaan

and I checked on the demographics and it is still about 76% Muslim
