Allahu Akbar!!! Your reward is with Allah azza wa Jalla!

Hmmm…do you experience the same clarity in the land of kufr that you do in the lands where the adhaan is heard five times per day? Lands where the remembrance of Allah azza wa Jalla are foremost on the minds of Muslims despite their shortcomings? Kindly inform us of a place where Al Islam is being practiced in the West without influences of kufr? Jazakumullahu khairan

why can't they make temporary marriage permissible since there is so much fornication going on? I

You mean Mut'ah? Why would mut'ah be allowed when the Prophet forbade it? Besides there's Nikah Al Misyar. It's permissible but not advisable. Shaykh Suhaib spoke about this in beginning moments of Class 6.

From the first point, this article was not “be[ing] used to support the fact that Hijrah is not obligatory;” rather, it is a warning to us Americans who go oblivious through our lives and who do realize the hazards of living in the “Muslim World.” We sit at home and talk about how we are mistreated by our government, but it is not until the stark reality of existence occurs before you really appreciate this place. Wa Allahu Akbar.

One is to be grateful in all their circumstances, and there is a great nimah in our country the United States, something we should be continuously grateful for and beseach Allah for his continual mercy for the place in which we live – despite the obvious fitna.

There are people who leave the dean, who loose their iman, who become sinful. Some of these people loose their way and do not know how, or are too proud to return to the Mercy of their Lord. Is this not same throughout this life, amongst human beings? Indeed you will not find fault with my statements.

It is unfortunate that what you saw from this article was an argument against hijra. Truly within this article many things can be gleamed that we should learn from.

1. State Department warnings are in place for a reason. Are we so ignorant and arrogant that we can disregard the climate, that when it is flooding we decide to go for a walk?

2. We are not free to “roam” the earth. Did it not occur to these men that they were “out of place,” and before deciding to explore the land they were in, they should have learned their environment first. If you are not from Crenshaw, or Oakland, or Brownsville, or the South Side of Chicago, or the back woods of North Carolina, you would not “roam;” why feel so free to do so in a foreign environment.

3. We have to take responsibility for our actions. If we decide to go study someplace, why take the world of someone else – and only 'one' someone else. Taking the easy way, is not always the best way.

4. There is trouble entering a place that requires bribery to function on a daily basis – enough said.

5. Muslims are human beings – we are finding more and more that it is not the “country” we should seek, but we must seek the person, or pockets of people that are still holding the standard of the Prophet in tact. We must remove the ideology of the “Muslim World” and replace it with finding the gems.
Example, Dar al-Mustafa and Dar al-Zahra. Now people who go to Yemen now, seek out a specific place. This
place has been reviewed and it has gained the trust of its students.

I apologize that I was unwilling to read the remainder of your comments, hopefully this has addressed your arguments and you will be satisfied.

I also apologize to anyone who may not understand the examples given in which to illustrate my points.

And Allah knows best

Assuming that you are correct in that hijra is obligatory on us all, what is a suitable place to make hijra? The Muslim countries of today are not exactly Islamic, and often, we have more freedom to practice our religion in the United States. Additionally, if there are no Muslims in non-Muslims countries, who will make da'wah. In the past, the spread of Islam was facilitated through conquest and trade routes, both of which are nonexistent today. I find it most ironic when people who converted through da'wah (not talking about you in particular) in a non-Muslim country advocate hijra.
