What this video covers

Check out the Setting for Hijrah Skool Community Here: Check out Abu Zakaria Channel here: In this video, we sit down with a Muslim who spent 30 years living in America before making the life-changing decision to relocate his family to Egypt. He shares why he refuses to raise his children in the West despite helping thousands of Muslim students study at American universities, the hidden challenges Muslim families face, and why he believes protecting faith should come before career opportunities. We also discuss his journey from the UAE to the United States, why Egypt became his long-term home, the realities of making Hijrah, and practical advice for Muslims considering a move abroad. If you're thinking about leaving the West, moving to Egypt, or planning your family's future, this conversation offers valuable insights from someone who has experienced both worlds.
