Salam - Is Hijrah from the West Possible Without Big Savings?
Assalamu alaikum, I'm a Muslim living in the West (Germany) with an EU passport. My wife is a revert and we have a few-months-old son. I work in SaaS tech in sales. We feel really tired of the culture here and want a more Islamic environment for our family. The moral decline (degeneracy, warmongering, racism, extreme individualism) is getting overwhelming. We're both in our late 20s and decided to try hijrah. I looked into options and it feels like most countries make it almost impossible unless you have a lot of money or investor-level savings. As regular salary earners (no inheritance or big family help), our generation just doesn't have that cushion. The choices I found are basically: A. Live as nomads - spend a couple of years in one country then move to another (visa-free stays or digital nomad visas). The worry here is that my tech sales job isn't always fully remote, so if work goes wrong we might be stuck. Also, moving a young child every few years is hard. B. Save for higher-tier visas - these often require large sums (sometimes around 150k or more), investment in property, and still give limited rights. Work permissions can be restricted and long-term things like getting a halal mortgage feel uncertain with economic ups and downs. C. Accept it and stay where we are. So far the research has been exciting to start but ended in disappointment. We checked Malaysia, Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Morocco, Turkey, Oman, and similar places. I'm posting to hear from others: has anyone with a similar profile managed to leave the West and settle somewhere more Islamic? Which country did you choose, what visa route, and how is your life now? Any practical tips or real stories would be so helpful. Finally, it pains me to see the state of the ummah - we should be making it easier for one another to seek better lives and stronger communities. Jazakum Allah khair for any advice or experiences you can share.
