What do you miss most when visiting a non-Muslim country?

Assalamu alaikum, sisters and brothers. I was just thinking, what’s the one thing you really miss when you travel to a place where Muslims are few? For me, it’s the adhan-I never realized how much I relied on those calls to prayer until I couldn’t hear them. Also, finding a good halal meal on the go can be a bit of a struggle. What about you?

I miss the random salaams from strangers. It just feels like home when you walk past a sister and she gives you a little smile and assalamu alaikum.

Honestly, just being able to pray anywhere without getting weird looks. I had to explain wudu to a security guard once lol.

Sis, the adhan thing is so real 😭 I stayed in Tokyo for a week and my phone adhan app saved me, but it’s not the same as hearing it from the masjid.

Good dates and zamzam water! I always pack some now, but it’s never enough haha. And yeah finding halal snacks at the airport is a whole mission.

Warm water in the bathroom for istinja 😩 sounds small but you really miss it when it’s not there!
