Assalam. After 5 years of staying in USA and another 5 years in Canada, I decided to move back to Malaysia. I value more of bringing up my kids in an Islamic environments. Today my grown kids said I made a right choice.
@@omgmawLiving in Jeddah is very different from Malaysia. They’re not truly Muslim friendly country to begin with especially for non Arabic citizens, at least for now, that my own opinion.
I don't even have to watch the video to know why you'd want to stay in Malaysia. I went there for a 5-week training program and ended up staying for 8 years!
Assalamualaikum..I am a Malaysian..nowadays there are too many foreigners who want to come to Malaysia and want to start life in Malaysia..Malaysia is a peaceful and harmonious country of course not 100% perfect..but if it is a Muslim who wants to start life in Malaysia because to practice Islamic comfortably we are very welcome.. but if non-Muslims who want to start life in Malaysia by practicing western ideology (Liberalism) and to take the opportunity to live luxuriously in this country, I recommend stopping that intention and not coming ❤🇲🇾
👍🏻..true bcoz we malaysian understand the struggle of our muslim bro n sis living in the western country..the only things i hate is when they move here they tend to stay within their expat community not mingle with the local..my advice..we the malay a bit shy..they the foreigner need to take the 1st step

I actually loves when you use 'affordable' instead of 'cheap'. Coz while it cheap for tourists and foreigners, its still not really that cheap for locals from inflation and currency exchange pov. So 'affordable' i think a proper middle ground to describe a cost of living for people coming to Malaysia.
The entire time they were talking about this I thought it was kinda tone deaf considering prices are not very cheap for local Malaysians. It's just a privilege that comes with currency exchange. Life is always easier for foreigners with the money, isn't it? I mean happy for them but it feels a little tone deaf to me.
@rotipandan totally agree. Good luck to them, but yea as long as they are earning a Western wage its going to be cheap. Maybe talk to a local who's earning a local wage and talk about the cost of living
You have to go to other countries to appreciate Malaysia. For instance I lived for decades both in Saudi Arabia and the Philippines and from what I have experienced, Malaysia is a perfect mix or blend of both countries that I previously lived. A Muslim country and a tropical country. Their economy is on par or going into the right direction compared with the developed countries. If you ask me as a foreigner, Malaysia is a perfect country for me, Masha'Allah.
😂 there is no perfect country, there must be a pro and kontra. If u want a islamic country brunei malaysia indonesia is the best. If u put in political issue brunei absolutely the calm country. Malaysia and Indonesia full of political drama but the netizen is alwys welcoming people.
Salaam guys. Welcome to Malaysia. There're pros and cons to every country but i think the pros are more than cons in Malaysia. Hope you'll be happy here.
I just so love that you have found such acceptance in Malaysia. Many years ago I visited for several months when my sister was teaching in Kuala Trengganu. I was brought up in the Christian Faith but I found the acceptance and friendliness of the Malaysian people across all Faiths, absolutely heart-warming with zero discrimination. It resulted in me returning more than half a dozen times for extended visits, over the past 45 years, even though my sister returned to New Zealand 25 years ago. Friendships across different Faiths built during that first visit, still continue today.
Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah, Allahuakbar. Thank you Allah for your great friendship with us Malaysians all these years. May Allah bless you and open your hearts for guidance to The Straight Path. Aaaamiiiin.
@@SalehFamily Sounds better than the US 😂. Pros and cons everywhere, going back to India was the goal but Malaysia and Indonesia are working their way up the list.
@Saleh Family Quick question, do you know the process of getting citizenship? My goal is to renounce my US citizenship (have dual with the UK) in the long term.
@@diamonddavemctvcitizenship is a bit impossible but you could apply for mm2h visa programme. Mm2h stands for malaysia my 2nd home programme. Just google it.
As a Singaporean Muslim, your move is the most will never be wrong. Malaysia had been our best neighbour for centuries. Your choices will elevate your faith and family values for years and years to come. Ramadan Mubarak and may Allah bless you and Malaysian Muslims in this month of barakah.❤
4:21 if you guys are coffee person who into variety of coffee drinks like americano, latte, cappuccino etc, please try ZUS COFFEE. It is local brand coffee!
Definitely try to learn Bahasa Melayu if you really want to get into the community and feel more welcomed and connected. Alhamdullilah, you are happy here in Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤️
Assalamualaikum, Malaysian here :) Thank you for the kind words on Malaysia, we hope you enjoy being in Malaysia as everyone here are quite fond of friendly people. May Allah ease all of your endeavors, welcome to Malaysia!
Subhanallah. We recently moved to canada from UAE and to be honest I am not happy with it. Qadr Allah. It is always best to stay in a muslim land where u can hear d athan and not worrying to miss ur salah when u are out of ur home. Happy for ur move... i love malaysia! Assalamu alaykum wa rahamatullahi wa barakatuhu...
Don't worry you can still move to other country Canada is no more good and safe now . One should consider ones identity and moral values as top priority. Any way good luck 💐
I moved to the Netherlands from Indonesia and I am missing Indonesia a lot. My kids were in Islamic school in Indonesia and now they have to go to Christian school due to location. My wish is to relocate to other Islamic country like Malaysia. Malaysia seems perfect for my family.
Selamat datang ke malaysia..selain dari kegembiraan..jangan lupa kesusahan juga sebahagian dari ujian hidup..semoga Allah memudahkan urusan anda dan keluarga..salam ramadhan
I recommend buying Zus Coffee as an alternative to Starbucks. Zus is a local coffee brand that I would say is on par with Starbucks. I love your content. I can’t wait to watch your next video!
I've been following you on-and-off for a while, so I was surprised that a couple I've been following decided to move here! You are most welcome here. I hope you enjoy your stay, InshaAllah.
When listening feedbacks from foreigners, then we will realise how blessed we are born and living in Malaysia and absolutely that we have to be syukur with that. Still, test and trial are everywhere and may Allah swt make easy for us all.
Asalam walaikum Saleh family! I have been patiently waiting for this video since you announced you were thinking of leaving our “good” old Canada! Not surprised by any of the great feedback you shared! Very happy for your family Allahumma Barik. Would it be possible to do a video on the job opportunities for expats in Malaysia? As well as the salary in comparison to Canada as this can greatly impact the affordability factor. And also, the school system and costs. Thanks again for sharing your journey thus far and Ramadan Mubarak!
I’d like to know how you go about moving across the world. How do you decide what to take with you, decide on priorities. I’m interested in the logistics of the move. I love your content. I love your explanations of living everyday as a devout Muslim family. My sister-in-law is Malaysian. My brother is thinking seriously about them moving there after he retires. They fly over to visit family as often as they can.
Assalam u alaikum u guys made the right choice we lived as a expat in Malaysia for 9years and loved this country my kids grew up there and its like their home town being a muslim we found Malaysia the best country for us now we have moved to Canada but we miss kl everyday the call for azan, halal food, greenary, beautiful places to visit everything ...
I just came from a video of where a channel asked why you start the hijab business.. feel blessed when you are in my country.. hope you are experiencing the best of the ramadan month here in Malaysia..
We too have many imperfections, we welcome you here but please be patient with us ya. We are improving day by day, just bare with us. And may you have a great stay insyaallah.
I am from Turkey and I currently live in the US. I have visited Malaysia for couple of years ago. It was just like you mentioned. It was cheap, everyone knows English including older people, it was diverse.
Welcome to Malaysia. I lived in Canada for 8 years before moving back to Malaysia. I checked out your previous videos on the reason you moved to Malaysia. I'm sorry you had to Canada for reasons you couldn't control. I'm surprised to hear that Canada is no longer what it used to be. I hope Malaysia tick all the boxes in your checklist for you to relocate here permanently.
Despite everyone can understand English, it is better for you to learn the national language. It shows respect and it will bring you closer to the locals. The language use roman alphabets, it is not hard for you to catch up, only need some sound tuning. Just read local newspapers to practice, it doesn't matter if you don't understand a thing, only to make use of the words and the sound. I learned English by reading books, imagine that...
Hi! I hope you don't mind me asking, so in professional setting, at corporate office for example, what language is used? And is it different in public area? Like at market or malls, do people automatically use English with each other? I'm Indonesian but have never been to Malaysia.
@@moniquea2497 Well, it depends, in most non-Malays companies they will likely use their own languages other than English, in Malay companies, why bother use English? As an Indonesian you shouldn't have any problem since our language is so similar if not the same 😂
@@johankasah1121 Yes, like me, I know English, I can get into any English sites, news, medias, ect...I can chat with English speaking people. I know much about the western world through English. That's how powerful knowing one's language, we can get into their world, we can understand what, why and how things are the way it is.
I lived in Malaysia for six years during my stuides. It was heavenly. Loved my every moment there. I recently moved into Canada. Now I know how you felt here. Have a great life there. May ALLAH bless you and your family. May ALLAH fulfill our wishes as well.
Great choice. As an American who was just there 2 weeks ago, I was in awe. As a solo traveler, I do have to be mindful of what I spend money on and I was way under budget. Yes, there are plenty of cafes and coffee spots to replace Starbucks and they’re a lost tastier.
Thank you soo much for this video. young Muslim couples with children have now all the research done for them. Such valuable life saving information! May God bless your family. Ramadan Mubarak 🙏🏻
But what i'm waiting is if they renounce their Canadian citizenship and apply for Malaysian one. That would be great if they keep on lingering on Canadian passport they are holding.
Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless Malaysia and the people of Malaysia and may it always be a wonderful Muslim country with wonderful steadfast Muslim community and a thriving economy! Ameen Summa Ameen! Good luck in your new home and may this home be filled with barakah and rizq! Ameen
Thanks for sharing. I would love a video on just the logistics of moving. Such as how you found a place, what items you brought with you, how you downsized etc.
I wish more muslims from the west or china will migrate here to Malaysia. The latest data from Malaysia My Second Home program, 44% of the applicants are from China alone, followed by South Korea and Japan. We want more western muslim families here especially you guys are used to multiculturalism like us.
It will be only possible if Malaysian government make it easy for foreign Muslims to come to Malaysian. I am watching some videos people explaining the visa process and its not easy and the programs are build in such a way that only rich people are attracted .
Hurrah! Thats realy great to find that this wonderful family has finaly chosen Malaysia for further dwelling. I am so happy for u guyz. Praying for your long healthy wealthy life. ❤❤
I looveee tealive too! Their roasted milk tea is amazing! Annddd now I have a new addiction, coffee with cheese foam from Bask Bear Coffee ❤ so many options in Malaysia. Welcome!
Me and my husband was also looking to move from The US(Florida)before we have kids to a place where we feel we belong and also closer to our home land India! Looking at ur journey looking forward to explore Malaysia in sha Allah!
Nice to meet you both, I studied in Niagara Falls for my grade 13, in 1982 and then continued for my Degree in Computer Science in Quebec (Lennoxville) from 1983 to 1987. So Canada is still in my heart with good memories , for almost 5 years of staying in some beautiful places over there.
Its kinda weird to compare countries it doesn't work like that i mean if your getting a wage back home and living in malaysia absolutely your going to be living like royalty, but if you completely move your life to malaysia and work there and get a malaysian salary i guarantee suddenly things wont be cheap anymore
I am glad you and your family are happy in Malaysia. I wouldn't go back to Canada if I were you. UK, Ireland, Australia and Europe are much the same as Canada so you have made a good choice. Best wishes to you and your family for the future.
i was in ottawa studying in the 80's. iftar was an around 930pm and subuh prayers will start at 330am. because i ate too much during iftar, i was still full to eat my pre dawn meal.... those were the days, alhamdulillah
Well done for moving! Please could you talk about higher level schooling for people who have university age kids? What is the standard of university education? Secondly, the medical system: how good are the hospitals? Do you need to buy private insurance? Is it very pharma heavy or is the country open to alternative therapies like homeopathy, naturopathy, herbalism, etc? Third, jobs: are you guys working there or planning on starting a business? How difficult/easy is it to start a business or find a job? What is the paperwork for moving? How easy was it? Why KL? Have you explored other places in Malaysia? Can foreigners buy a house in Malaysia? Would it be lease-hold? Could they buy land and build their own house? Lastly and most importantly, my reason for wanting to do hijrah is to go somewhere that doesnt react the way many countries reacted during covid, i.e. no forced vaccinating, no villainising people who dont wear masks, no forcing people to isolate etc. How did Malaysia respond to covid and how intrusive was its govt with re: to the above?
Seems U guys in Malaysia, now it's time for U to explore Bazar Ramadan around Malaysia. In Malaysia, other than spiritual meanings, it's also like festival food.
The first year abroad is always exciting and fun, the 2nd year gets tough due to social isolation. Granted comes down how close you are to family back home. Enjoy.
Waalekumsalam warhmatuAllah Beautiful presentation do you have explained very well indeed the comparison between CANADA and Malaysia thank you very much. The video is very clear sound is really clear. By the way, is called Turkiye, Have a wonderful life in Malaysia
Yes Malysians are very friendly, i know that while visiting makkah-madina, love to visit malysia, but one thing like to know that is earning, what are the business opportunities in malysia? What kind of business and investment require to start? Yes now i started searching that on google and youtube. Appreciate your feedback.
You made the right decision. I live in Canada for 5 years as a student and never think twice for not staying on, and coming home to Malaysia is where my heart is even though the standard of living in Canada is much higher.
KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Malaysia, with a score of 95 out of 100, was ranked first in the Best Healthcare in the World category of the 2019 International Living Annual Global Retirement Index.
As a Malaysian, this really made me be more grateful. Being born here, hearing everyone complaining about the weather, the politics, the wages. But seeing you loving the language, the tealive! I love that too!! I'm so grateful to be Malaysian, and welcome to malaysia!
I have lived and a worked in JB🇲🇾 for a year and it was the best time of my life. Now I live in 🇸🇪 and I pray to Allah s.w.t to give me one more chance to return back to 🇲🇾 and stay there forever.
Im Malaysian, although we already has to deal with a huge surge of illegal immigrants, especially from Indonesia & Bangladesh, and feeling uncomfortable with the presence of those illegal immigrants, Im hope that Muslim travelers/ expat can make an effort to respect us, MALAY muslim in Malaysia I hope that you can find a piece of home in Malaysia & find it comfortable to lived here for the rest of your life🎉
I would love to hear more about your community/home Ed and maybe a video on how you made the move and all things to note before making the move! We are seriously considering the move. Jazak Allah khair
AlhamduliLlah, Insya Allah, when you need to recharge the eeman, do come to Masjid Sri Petaling (or Masjid Kepong if you're interested with alami shurah), there are many foreign and locals jamat interchanging in both Markaz, just to get their route for khuruj around the globe, including local khuruj routes. Just remember, you're the greatest miracles from Allah for many years ago, I prayed that both of you to find a home in my humble land called Malaysia, and Masya Allah, it humbled me down to finally witnessed my prayer has been answered. Allahu...may this be the reason for the rise of Ummah... Amin Allahuma Amin 🤲❤️🤲.
Yes!! My instinct was right! Mabrook guys on your move. We are neighbours. Maybe one day you guys can come across the border and visit Singapore😊 Would love to meet you. Again, all the best in the new environment❤

I am from Turkey and I currently live in the US. I have visited Malaysia for couple of years ago. It was just like you mentioned. It was cheap, everyone knows English including older people, it was diverse.
MashaAllah, I hope everything goes smoothly for your family transition in Malaysia, me and my family are planning too from usa.
Hello from Texas! I’m glad y’all have made a decision you feel would benefit your Family. Blessings to you all
It’s very nice to see, that you are in Malaysia
Are u in Malaysia
Welcome to Malaysia. I lived in Canada for 8 years before moving back to Malaysia.
I checked out your previous videos on the reason you moved to Malaysia. I'm sorry you had to Canada for reasons you couldn't control. I'm surprised to hear that Canada is no longer what it used to be.
I hope Malaysia tick all the boxes in your checklist for you to relocate here permanently.

Despite everyone can understand English, it is better for you to learn the national language. It shows respect and it will bring you closer to the locals. The language use roman alphabets, it is not hard for you to catch up, only need some sound tuning. Just read local newspapers to practice, it doesn't matter if you don't understand a thing, only to make use of the words and the sound. I learned English by reading books, imagine that...
Hi! I hope you don't mind me asking, so in professional setting, at corporate office for example, what language is used? And is it different in public area? Like at market or malls, do people automatically use English with each other? I'm Indonesian but have never been to Malaysia.
@@moniquea2497 Well, it depends, in most non-Malays companies they will likely use their own languages other than English, in Malay companies, why bother use English? As an Indonesian you shouldn't have any problem since our language is so similar if not the same 😂
True, if you speak malay you will have a great advantage and open up a whole new range of opportunities.
@@johankasah1121 Yes, like me, I know English, I can get into any English sites, news, medias, ect...I can chat with English speaking people. I know much about the western world through English. That's how powerful knowing one's language, we can get into their world, we can understand what, why and how things are the way it is.
@@MizanQistina Malaysia aint like Singapore, we still use our national language, unfortunately not as high as Indonesia
I love your videos. I'm a Christian from Chicago but I love learning about other cultures and places ❤
I lived in Malaysia for six years during my stuides. It was heavenly. Loved my every moment there. I recently moved into Canada. Now I know how you felt here.
Have a great life there. May ALLAH bless you and your family. May ALLAH fulfill our wishes as well.
Great choice. As an American who was just there 2 weeks ago, I was in awe. As a solo traveler, I do have to be mindful of what I spend money on and I was way under budget. Yes, there are plenty of cafes and coffee spots to replace Starbucks and they’re a lost tastier.
Oh my goshh your wife is so pretty. Welcome to my country. Is nice to hv good ppl like u guys staying here. Love your vlogs ❤
Thank you soo much for this video. young Muslim couples with children have now all the research done for them. Such valuable life saving information! May God bless your family. Ramadan Mubarak 🙏🏻
Happy for you, Alhamedolilah. Can you please cover the visa process and the visa category you are applying for? JAK
Make friends to local people, you will be amazed.....
I am glad you are weather happy in Malaysia!!
English is an international language !!
Cost of living is better there? Nice!!!!!
But what i'm waiting is if they renounce their Canadian citizenship and apply for Malaysian one.
That would be great if they keep on lingering on Canadian passport they are holding.
So happy for you guys. All the best. Your doing it for your children and they will love you for it when they look back one day. Allah bless you
We welcome you here!
Thank youuuu
Good to see our brothers and sisters in Islam from all over the world move to Malaysia.
Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless Malaysia and the people of Malaysia and may it always be a wonderful Muslim country with wonderful steadfast Muslim community and a thriving economy! Ameen Summa Ameen! Good luck in your new home and may this home be filled with barakah and rizq! Ameen
Thanks for sharing. I would love a video on just the logistics of moving. Such as how you found a place, what items you brought with you, how you downsized etc.
This is going to be a fun one to film!
They're not lying when they tell you that food, rent, fuel and housing is super expensive in Canada. I know I live here!!
I wish more muslims from the west or china will migrate here to Malaysia. The latest data from Malaysia My Second Home program, 44% of the applicants are from China alone, followed by South Korea and Japan. We want more western muslim families here especially you guys are used to multiculturalism like us.
It will be only possible if Malaysian government make it easy for foreign Muslims to come to Malaysian. I am watching some videos people explaining the visa process and its not easy and the programs are build in such a way that only rich people are attracted .
Only from china is so special
May Allah bless Malaysia, some of the nicest people I’ve met are Muslim Malaysians, and you guys have Seyyed Naqib Al-Attas!
So non Muslim Malaysian is bad? What a narrow minded you got there
Hurrah!
Thats realy great to find that this wonderful family has finaly chosen Malaysia for further dwelling. I am so happy for u guyz. Praying for your long healthy wealthy life. ❤❤
Congratulations on your move! Yes please do a video comparing countries you wanted to move to, and how you decided on Malaysia!
They already did that video. Check their video list
Home is where the heart is ❤❤
Salam Ramadhan. Thanks for promoting my country. Love from KL
I looveee tealive too! Their roasted milk tea is amazing! Annddd now I have a new addiction, coffee with cheese foam from Bask Bear Coffee ❤ so many options in Malaysia. Welcome!
Me and my husband was also looking to move from The US(Florida)before we have kids to a place where we feel we belong and also closer to our home land India! Looking at ur journey looking forward to explore Malaysia in sha Allah!
Nice to meet you both, I studied in Niagara Falls for my grade 13, in 1982 and then continued for my Degree in Computer Science in Quebec (Lennoxville) from 1983 to 1987.
So Canada is still in my heart with good memories , for almost 5 years of staying in some beautiful places over there.
Its kinda weird to compare countries it doesn't work like that i mean if your getting a wage back home and living in malaysia absolutely your going to be living like royalty, but if you completely move your life to malaysia and work there and get a malaysian salary i guarantee suddenly things wont be cheap anymore
I am glad you and your family are happy in Malaysia. I wouldn't go back to Canada if I were you. UK, Ireland, Australia and Europe are much the same as Canada so you have made a good choice. Best wishes to you and your family for the future.
i was in ottawa studying in the 80's. iftar was an around 930pm and subuh prayers will start at 330am. because i ate too much during iftar, i was still full to eat my pre dawn meal.... those were the days, alhamdulillah
Thank you for the update You guys look very happy. I wish you the very best in Malaysia..
Cause you have the nationality now. You can travel freely.
Well done for moving! Please could you talk about higher level schooling for people who have university age kids? What is the standard of university education?
Secondly, the medical system: how good are the hospitals? Do you need to buy private insurance? Is it very pharma heavy or is the country open to alternative therapies like homeopathy, naturopathy, herbalism, etc?
Third, jobs: are you guys working there or planning on starting a business? How difficult/easy is it to start a business or find a job?
What is the paperwork for moving? How easy was it?
Why KL? Have you explored other places in Malaysia?
Can foreigners buy a house in Malaysia? Would it be lease-hold? Could they buy land and build their own house?
Lastly and most importantly, my reason for wanting to do hijrah is to go somewhere that doesnt react the way many countries reacted during covid, i.e. no forced vaccinating, no villainising people who dont wear masks, no forcing people to isolate etc. How did Malaysia respond to covid and how intrusive was its govt with re: to the above?
Yessss, I love your questions. I’m also thinking of making my Hijra and I wish they do a video on this.
We🇲🇾 welcome you here. Even Dr Zakir Nair choose Malaysia as his home.
Yes obviously I too as well 🇮🇳 indian.
Yes many indian like zakir nair love malaysia as new home
Zakir naik was deported and modi is after him
You will love local “teh tarik” for sure. In time, you will not miss anything from Canada anymore.
Seems U guys in Malaysia, now it's time for U to explore Bazar Ramadan around Malaysia.
In Malaysia, other than spiritual meanings, it's also like festival food.
HAPPY TO KNOW YOU ARE ENJOYING MALAYSIA. I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT LATER THIS YEAR. HOPEFULLY, WE CAN MEET. ILL BE GOING TO INDONESIA.
Both countries are beautiful ❤
For ease of communication, Malaysia is way better, English are widely spoken here
Welcome to the Salah family...may Allah ease your path here❤
The first year abroad is always exciting and fun, the 2nd year gets tough due to social isolation. Granted comes down how close you are to family back home.
Enjoy.
Waalekumsalam warhmatuAllah Beautiful presentation do you have explained very well indeed the comparison between CANADA and Malaysia thank you very much. The video is very clear sound is really clear. By the way, is called Turkiye, Have a wonderful life in Malaysia
That's not the question. He's not asking whether its Turkey or Turkiye.
He's asking whether its Turkish or Turkiyeish or some other word.
You are safe where you are now. Cost of living sounds great❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations on finding a wonderful place for you and your family!
Yes Malysians are very friendly, i know that while visiting makkah-madina, love to visit malysia, but one thing like to know that is earning, what are the business opportunities in malysia? What kind of business and investment require to start? Yes now i started searching that on google and youtube. Appreciate your feedback.
You made the right decision. I live in Canada for 5 years as a student and never think twice for not staying on, and coming home to Malaysia is where my heart is even though the standard of living in Canada is much higher.
Great job! Enjoy living in Malaysia.
Please do a video on the process that you use to move.
Yes you have done the right thing to migrate to Malaysia where the enviroment is islamic. May Allah bless you guys. Ameen
Wellcome brother & sister...
Try go to bazar ramadhan at kampung bharu guys & enjoy the food there...
Tq guys.
KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Malaysia, with a score of 95 out of 100, was ranked first in the Best Healthcare in the World category of the 2019 International Living Annual Global Retirement Index.
Lets pay zakat together..every state have their own zakat collector and they will contribute to needy..for KL area you can find PPZ.
As a Malaysian, this really made me be more grateful. Being born here, hearing everyone complaining about the weather, the politics, the wages. But seeing you loving the language, the tealive! I love that too!! I'm so grateful to be Malaysian, and welcome to malaysia!
God bless you guys with long healthy life, happiness and prosperity ❤️
I'm not Muslim but it just makes so much sense to be in a country that lives in harmony with your religious values. I wish you well.
Malaysia is not immigration nation. Unless you under Mm2h programme you cannot stay long here
I have lived and a worked in JB🇲🇾 for a year and it was the best time of my life. Now I live in 🇸🇪 and I pray to Allah s.w.t to give me one more chance to return back to 🇲🇾 and stay there forever.
I just love you guys. Thank you for keeping us in the loop.
❤️🙏❤️
I just love how both of you said ice cream simultaneously like you both are meant to be for each other. Loving couple. Jazakallah.
i am glad you are weather happy in Malaysia!!
Im Malaysian, although we already has to deal with a huge surge of illegal immigrants, especially from Indonesia & Bangladesh, and feeling uncomfortable with the presence of those illegal immigrants, Im hope that Muslim travelers/ expat can make an effort to respect us, MALAY muslim in Malaysia
I hope that you can find a piece of home in Malaysia & find it comfortable to lived here for the rest of your life🎉
You should try our local brand Zus coffee, their are everywhere now.
I would love to hear more about your community/home Ed and maybe a video on how you made the move and all things to note before making the move! We are seriously considering the move. Jazak Allah khair
AlhamduliLlah, Insya Allah, when you need to recharge the eeman, do come to Masjid Sri Petaling (or Masjid Kepong if you're interested with alami shurah), there are many foreign and locals jamat interchanging in both Markaz, just to get their route for khuruj around the globe, including local khuruj routes. Just remember, you're the greatest miracles from Allah for many years ago, I prayed that both of you to find a home in my humble land called Malaysia, and Masya Allah, it humbled me down to finally witnessed my prayer has been answered. Allahu...may this be the reason for the rise of Ummah... Amin Allahuma Amin 🤲❤️🤲.
Could you please suggest masjids that have sermons conducted in english? like friday prayers but khutbah in english?
