Why I Left the West & Will Bring 1M Muslims With Me

About this video

What this video covers

Join the Make Hijrah Community here: I left America over 20 years ago to live in the Muslim world… and this is the full story behind that decision. From embracing Islam as a young man, struggling to practice in the West, raising a family abroad, living through revolutions, middle eastern jail, cultural shocks, and eventually finding a sense of peace and belonging, this is the journey that shaped my life forever. This is not a fantasy about Hijrah. It’s the reality. The sacrifices, the mistakes, the hardships, and the lessons learned after decades living across the Muslim world. But this documentary is also about something bigger. Why are more Muslims thinking about leaving the West today? What does life in the Muslim world actually look like beyond social media clips and stereotypes? And is it really possible to build a stable, meaningful life abroad in today’s world? From Egypt to.
