Which city you want to live in?

[Saudi Prince]

If you're given the choice to live wherever you would love to, which city in the world would you choose? And more importantly why? :)

[bint]

bit hard that.

but definately not europe. this place really vexes me.

[Lambo5688]

I would live in Toba Taek Singh

no, actually I don't really know. Maybe stay in New York City.

[Umer Bin Khatab]

Easy either Mecca or Medina:up: because both of them are holy cities

[xyz]

everyone has respect for each other there. i dunno. something about it. its just peaceful subhanAllah. it is the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him's city after all :love:

[Saudi Prince]

alhamdulillah


(not insha'Allaah)

:up:

:) This is why I love Madinah. All these hadiths of the prophet s.A.a.w in Bukhari.

Narrated Abu Huraira rAa:
Allah's Apostle said, "I was ordered to migrate to a town which will swallow (conquer) other towns and is called Yathrib and that is Medina, and it turns out (bad) persons as a furnace removes the impurities of iron.


Narrated Abu Zuhair rAa:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Yemen will be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families, and those who will obey them to migrate (to Yemen) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew. Sham will also be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families and those who will obey them, to migrate (to Sham) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew. 'Iraq will be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families and those who will obey them to migrate (to 'Iraq) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew."


Narrated Abu Huraira rAa:
Allah's Apostle said, "Verily, Belief returns and goes back to Medina as a snake returns and goes back to its hole (when in danger)."


Narrated Saad rAa:
I heard the Prophet saying, "None plots against the people of Medina but that he will be dissolved (destroyed) like the salt is dissolved in water."


Narrated Abu Huraira rAa:
Allah's Apostle said, "There are angels guarding the entrances (or roads) of Medina, neither plague nor Ad-Dajjal will be able to enter it."


Narrated Anas rAa:
The Prophet said, "O Allah! Bestow on Medina twice the blessings You bestowed on Mecca."

[niqaabi_muslima]

I want to live in Makkah or Madina insha'Allaaah :)

[sada]

assalam...only only only Madeenah or Makkah...to live and for my education:o and to work being a doctor of medicine and for shariah...waalaikumussalam

[zammy]

Madinah (for obvious reasons)
Shariqah U.A.E (cuz it's soo beautiful!)
and a real nice lil village in Yemen that i've heard great things about :inlove:
Yeah..Ottawa's not too bad either at the moment

[Saudi Prince]

assalam...only only only Madeenah or Makkah...to live and for my education:o and to work being a doctor of medicine and for shariah...waalaikumussalam

Madinah is better, sis. :)

[sada]

Madinah is better, sis. :)

feelhaqeeqah...I wrote Makkah,too...cos it's near my Madeenah:up:WASSALAM

[HiDdEn_pEaRL]

Madinah Madinah !

[muhammed_1428]

Sunhaanullah you guys have travelled! Closest I've been to Middle-East is to Iran when I was like 3 and then Cyprus when I was 14 (beautiful place - surprising Muslim population)

Been a Londoner all my life :D But would have to say either Baghdad if it ever gets better or Medina - Even though I've never been to either! I guess I can only tell by pictures and what others say...

To be honest it doesn't really bother me too much where I am in the future, so long as I know where the qibla is!

[mizfissy815]

Madinah!

My favorite place in the world! The people are so nice, like one big family. I love them...all of them.

[Mace]

If not this area (Washington), I'd live in London, San Fran or Hong Kong in that order. My family would love to live in London.

[Ignatius F. Peace]

I'm not a city guy, but London has always been place I would like to spend some time ...

... but, I would have to go with Deming, Washington ... in the shadow of Mount Baker ... :inlove:

[Sulaiman Harun]

:start:

After Makkah and Madinah, I'd like to live in Abu Dhabi :insha:

[$HugoBoss$]

Abu Dhabi for me because you get all the benefits of living in a muslim city, great job opportunities and the fact that you don't have to be ashamed to practice your religion unlike the west.

[afsalim]

Dhaka. After that Montreal, where I've spent 5 years of my life. I miss that city so much!

[parwaaz]

I have never been to Makkah or Madina, i just pray i can visit those places in the near future.

Apart from that , i think UAE would be a great place to live due to hot climate, easy to follow your religion etc and perhaps I couls wander into the desert one day!!!!!!!

[faishaan]

i want to live in gotham city :D

[Asmara]

1) Madinah
2) Tukaraq, a nice town in Northern Somalia
3) Phoneix, Arizona
4) Toronto
5) London (greatest city in the world) but I already live here so :rolleyes:

[elji]

Dont like cities, i love small towns

[Pro_Candy]

Dont like cities, i love small towns

Same here. I'd like to vacation in the small town I grew up in. As for living, I'd love to live in a small town, maybe even a little village... either that, our just a remote area somewhere, where my family and I won't be bothered by 'city' problems.

Somewhere where you can actually see stars at night....

woohoo, i say aye to that

[Al-Farooq]

Asalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.

If I move in the future then insha'Allah it will be to a more rural environment, rather than another city (no matter how beautiful or friendly) - although I would consider moving to another city for the purposes of marriage, education or employment.

Alhamdulillah I have been fortunate to have lived in many different cities across Europe and Latin America. Among those I have actually lived in, or visited for a lengthy period of time, my favourites (for various reasons) are:

1. Cartagena, Colombia. Stunningly beautiful; full of history and culture; located on the Caribbean coast...*thumbs up*
2. Berlin. Germany.I was very, very surprised how much i enjoyed staying in Berlin.*smiles*
3. Leiden, The Netherlands. Small and picturesque, although probably too liberal for my taste, these days.*smiles*
4. San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. So beautiful....but waaaay too many tourists for my liking... *groans*
5. Huaraz, Peru. Extremely small and beautiful....if you like mountains, of course. *smiles*. Takes a while to adapt to the very high altitude (lack of oxygen), but it's well worth the effort.*thumbs up*

Of course, I hadn't reverted to Islam when I lived in those cities and it probably goes without saying, but these days I would only consider living in a city with a more "Islamic" environment where one is free to practice the deen masha'Allah, alhamdulillah, and able to incorporate Islam into their daily lives insha'Allah.

[A_Muminah]

As-salaamu 'Alaykum,

My choice isnt a city but I have always dreamt of living in a desert.

The Arabian desert would do.

I'm actually taking my first trip there this coming year, Insha-Allaah. :D

Good luck. Its the hardest places to live in no?

[A_Muminah]

As-Salaamu 'Alaykum Wa Rahamtullaah,
Good luck. Its the hardest places to live in no?

That is the whole point of it.

I have also had the greatest urge to live in some sort of a forest. I have no idea why, dont ask me. I doubt I will ever live there but desert, here I come. :up: Insha-Allaah.

lol, Im a weirdo. I can imagine my husband asking me where I want to move in the future to establish our family. My answer " The desert or a forest! :D"

'Alaykum As-Salaam Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh

[Raziel]

If you're given the choice to live wherever you would love to, which city in the world would you choose? And more importantly why? :)

Makkah, near Masjidul-Haram, or Madinah, near the Prophets Mosque, assuming I would have a Job to sustain myself and family there though ...

:jkk:

[Umm 'Umarah]

Id love to live in Madina - such a beautiful and peaceful city :inlove:

Oh and after that its gotta be Leeds :inlove:


Yeah, I think Madinah too, the atmosphere is indescribable.

second place after that would have to be ash-sham (damascus)

[Pro_Candy]

Mountains or forest would be awesome. Or, even a desert or flat land... imagine the night sky....

I thing I'd love a hidden, wooded, mountainous area... inshaAllah one day.

too much luxury makes one sick and ill. A bit of a rough environment is good for you.

[Pro_Candy]

Yeah exactly. Being stuck indoors all day is unhealthy, as well. It would be nice to be able to grow your own garden, fruits and veggies, maybe even livestock. And there is nothing like fresh air, and being able to go outside and run around and play :up: Best exercise in the world! No needs for a gym :rolleyes:

[A_Muminah]

As-Salaamu 'Alaykum,

Pro_Candy, Can I visit your mountainous home if I let you visit my desert home?

elji - true say.

Of course, you have an open invitation, Sis :up:

[Reema]

London will do fine for now :p

[Mikha’eel]

Mecca/Medina, NYC or Tokyo-Japan

[Raziel]

Abu Dhabi for me because you get all the benefits of living in a muslim city, great job opportunities and the fact that you don't have to be ashamed to practice your religion unlike the west.

Even in the West bro, one who Practices the Deen-Ul-Haqq shouldn't ever be ashamed ...

When You have Truth, there is nothing to be ashamed off, what is Truly shameful is when one knows the Truth but doesn't practice it, they conceal it, hide it, pray only at home etc, as though this is a personal matter ... such is a disgraceful state many are in, I have been in myself ...

:jkk: and May Allah Ta'ala save us from being in the Company of the Munafiqoon.

Ameen.

[love00]

erm, Muslims don't live for free in ' Muslim ' countries you know, there isn't much difference.

I know I know. It's too good to be true. I went to the U.A.E for some time when I was about 10-11 and I remember everyone being really kind and using Islamic greeting, one time I was lost when I went for a walk and some brothers helped me find my way home...I remember my mom not having to work as there was only the house bill I think...and it was very relaxing and a good experience...so thats why I would love to live there.

[KeeKee]

that does sound very nice -:)
