Love how you mentioned Akhi about raising sons with some form of adversity and struggle; you need this to go from boy to a man; you can also create an environment in your home as the man of the house for your son or sons that makes them want to work hard; such as waking up early training early getting involved in different sports and recreational activities, take them to farms to actually hand pick their foods, get them working early, involve them in Quran classes etc etc
And you can like you said take them away time to time to different areas of the UAE that are more poor help the needy get involved in volunteer work in the masjid and go out of the country to other countries for different experiences

6:01 Absolutely true. I live in Malaysia and I almost get the same feeling here. It’s very comfortable and I don’t know if ‘real’ learning can happen in these sorts of environments. But I also think getting roughened up as you mentioned should also be for girls you know especially in this day and age. Being financially independent is for everyone.😊

[iNikkah]

You are right to be concerned about raising your sons in this ultra luxurious atmosphere, I’ve raised 2 boys and alhmd they work hard for what they want and don’t need me chasing

[habibali]

Nice video, please do make a video about the best areas to consider living in Sharjah, and the area you decided to finally live in and typical rents. Thanks.

You didn’t mention the racism against non Arabs. If you’re a non Arab Muslim, you will face a lot of racism, especially if you’re black, then they will call you bad words. But even if you are Pakistani, they treat your like a second class person. Unbelievable

[hafeezrahman]

Go to Pakistan. As a British Pakistani I I took my four sons to Islamabad and lived for 10 years and alumdlilha one of my sons became a hafiz quran. Pakistan has lots of good but it can be very very rough also. You can learn a lot from Pakistanis

السلام عليكم،
I get what you mean by the last point. However, you can introduce some difficulties and take your sons out their comfort zones. This could be through enrolling them to a boxing gym, etc. Or, make them earn their PlayStation time by helping out in the business etc.

Maa'shaa'Allah tabaarak'Allah, Allah has blessed you and your family, akh. May Allah increase your blessings and protect you & your family, aameen. I make duāa to be in a similar position where I can make hijrah.

Also, yes, I'd like to see a video on different ways we could move to the UAE and more on Sharjah. Jazaak'Allahu khair

[criterionrecitations]

Would love to hear your thoughts on Abu dhabi whenever you get out there for sometime. Maybe make a vlog/video there to give us your thoughts and maybe how it compares to dubai and sharjah in your opinions. Maybe like what parts of abu dhabi were your favorites, things to expect, etc. It is conservative over there as well from what I hear as well Alhamdulillah.

[pahmidaa]

I’d also like a video on how you moved there and the alternative methods of getting there. Thank you

[zakijamil]

can you make a vid on who you use to get your dubai visa etc set up bro

[suliemanosman]

What a good video, was thinking about this recently and this video answered my assumptions. Brother could you make a video rating the best islamic countries to make Hijrah to while taking into account cost of living, quality of life and all of that?

[naim]

Good parts of Dubai/Abu Dhabi, expensive high cost of luxury living, affordable for Emirati's and those from the West in high pay professional jobs, just like in Western countries, cost of living being less in the lesser known 5 other Emirates.

[Southbeat]

Sharjah isn’t Dubai homie, it’s like making a video about living in London but live in Bradford

[kaafivikrant]

Here is the summary:

Pros:

High safety levels.
Respect for Muslims and Islamic culture.
Excellent amenities and high living standards.
Amazing weather (except for very hot summers).
Cons:

High cost of living (comparable to London).
Heavy traffic, especially between Sharjah and Dubai.
"Too nice" environment, potentially shielding children from necessary hardship.
Overall:

9.5/10 rating for the UAE.
Highly recommended, especially for Muslims.
Other Points:

The speaker lives in Sharjah, not Dubai, for a more Islamic environment.
She runs her own recruitment business.
Considers moving in the future to expose her sons to more challenges.
Offers to make a future video on how to move to the UAE.

[abuyusuf]

I think one of the issues I would have would be commuting between Sharjah and Dubai. I'm sure there still will be more affordable areas in Dubai to live in, still maintaining that Islamic environment.

[bossman]

To your point, wouldn’t it be good to take your sons to the rougher parts of the UAE / Dubai and show them how the other side live? I don’t necessarily think they have to be brought up or live in a rough environment because quite frankly, having grown up in Thornton Heath / Croydon my whole life, I don’t want my kids going through that… I’d rather they knew and understood live isn’t perfect, but still had a safe upbringing..

[kevinfrazer]

Every body in Dubai is so rich, that chaos is almost un existence and that my friends is a dangerous way to leave because there is chaos everywhere. How do you expect to survive outside of it if you not use to chaos or, difficult times. 🤔🤔

[johncitizen]

I love how they have the azan everywhere like in metro and shopping malls

[TheTemporaryne]

Not sure about number 2. The Arabs hardly ever respect a non arab muslim atleast from my experience

[Nomadzoom]

you managed to manifest it i have been struggling to get to dubai
