Lived in Dubai and mirdif for 10 years. I left on my own will 6 years ago. While I miss done aspect of it , how they normalized relation with Israel and do not even allow dua for Palestinian in mosques gutted me.

Dubai is expensive simple as that, these people are already well off, they have moved there for physical help like servants , carer for kids, still cheaper than UK😊
Having a good income and salary is quite key to all this. The dream move would only therefore be a realistic option for those of a certain demographic and age.
Dubai should never be a dream move for a Muslim. There are SOOO many better Muslim countries out there with even better Islam and much better priced and good quality of life. Malaysia, areas in Egypt, Oman etc
@@CPTZK11 Egypt is possible one of the worst countries to live in as an expat. Doesn't matter if you're muslim or not, if you're not Egyptian, it's terrible. Stinky, low life quality, dirty streets and roads and people begging from you everywhere as they can see that you're not native. Malaysia is also terrible. Oman is boring as hell. Dubai for the win!
The school Rasool was referring to is most probably GEMS Royal Dubai School. Hidden Gems mentioned (for those who didn't catch it): 1) Mushrif Park 2) XPark Jr. 3) Air Maniax Dubai(pretty sure this is what the doctor was referring to, but couldn't remember the name)
@@CPTZK11they have Islamic curriculum. They have Islamic studies and Arabic. They are secular for non muslim. But Arabic is compulsory for non muslim kids to and all muslim students have Islamic studies. Just not all teachers and kids are Muslim in the school. I see it as positive thing. As they get to know each other.
Im a Christian, but i LOVE hearing yall talk about your faith and how important staying close to it is. living close to a mosque, close to fellow believers and how you meet and interact! I feel like yall are doing it right, or at least dramatically better than most Christians. I get the feel that you are each very real people who are defining yourselves for yourselves! and voluntarily placing your spiritual practices in the forefront in conversations is beautiful. In America, churches are mostly filled with women. nothing necessarily wrong with that! good on the women! but every mosque I have been to has been filled with men! LOVE TO SEE IT! AND I felt so welcomed. Just letting yall know I love your personalities!

There is a masjid in Al Barsha I used to pray at. They would translate the Friday khutbah straight afterwards. Mondays after Isha someone would order food and we'd sit and talking with the Imam. They would have talks there, and there was Arabic classes at the highest level I've ever seen (from a very qualified teacher). Being around such a masjid will of course be a benefit, but I never saw others like it, and I stayed in many places in many areas around Dubai whilst I was there.
this was a brilliant discussion. I've been toying with the idea of moving abroad and like Mohsin Dubai hasn't been on my list of places to visit until now (well Mirdif on the list). A really great overview and personal experiences from all backgrounds. Thank you for putting this together, thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to more to come in sha allah!. keep up the great work.
forgot to add my question - what is a ball park salary you should consider if you want to live the Mirdif lifestyle and attend a good local school like the one mentioned by the sister who's kids study there? Is Mirdif more or less expensive than surrounding areas? is there a hub community where British expats flock to? and finally, do you actually get to save anything after rent, bills, fees and hosting?
The earth is wide and spacious, if you don't find what you're looking for in one place, go somewhere else. Salatul istikhar is there to ask Allah's assistance for those big decisions. People commenting on UK vs. the UAE, are commenting on a Muslim country vs. a non-Muslim country. Perhaps some can't feel the difference. Perhaps some think there is no difference. However, there is a difference, regardless of the actions of a ruler. Humans don't live forever, and things change. Even the UK is changing, and not for the better. It's always better to have a plan B. The last few years should have taught you that, if you have understanding.
Lol on the sister who was working in NHS towards being a consultant saying that you struggle at the end of the month. Dubai is a good place for people who are looking or aiming for a good quality of life from a purely wordly point of view. People should stop selling is as one of the best place for muslims as it is not. The day you start living your life as a real muslim and start doing some dawah and raise voice against all the non Islamic aspects you will get a khourouj stamp on your passport
o bhai shukur karo tumhe jumme ki namaz parhne ki saadat haasil hai UAE mein. Idhar western country mein Friday is not a holiday. It is next to impossible to go for Jumma prayer.

My brother/sister I think you still have some maturing to do, Islam is waaay more than just traveling to different countries and calling out their governments when your next door neighbour is struggling to pray, I feel like it's the easy way out to just start shouting about government, how about dawah to the actual people? Your work colleagues? Your neighbours? Your family? Yes you rightly get kicked out of the country for causing mischief, that's what caused the first civil war in Islam, the people calling out the khilafah, how do you think dubai leadership will change when the average awwam barely even pray? Dubai is mostly Indians anyway so not even Muslims!
@@johncitizen5843praying jumah is not an issue in the UK. you can EASILY tell your manager that on Friday you need an hour to go and pray. Friday is not a holiday in the Qur'an, it is mentioned that people work, you just stop to go and pray
The human rights abuse is still quite awful in UAE. They really know how to hide the story Dubai needs the middle class to feel like they're rich. The working class are treated horribly. The very rich and corrupt are the ones who really enjoy dubai. Also how is no one talking about all the escorts / prostitution.
If you didn't enjoy this video, you're not the target audience. Great honest experiences from all the guests and a very relevant topic as a lot of young professionals from the UK are constantly moving abroad now. Its nice to hear of the "community" feeling that your guests spoke of, understandably tourists will only ever see the "main attractions" and build their perception off that. One thing that always comes up when speaking to friends/family that live in dubai is how "halaqa" (circles of study) for adults is actually illegal in dubai, i don't believe you mentioned this, please correct me if I am wrong. In the UK we are used to our kids attending 5-7 mosque classes etc, what is the equivalent format of that outside of "islamic studies" in school? Private tuition at home, as great as it could be, can not replace the social element of children attending mosque classes. Does this exist in dubai? 60,000 AED for a "top private school" is only about £12k a year, isn’t this quite affordable with the tax free earnings especially with both husband/wife working, or after living costs etc, is this quite expensive? Overall, brilliant insight into Dubai as an expat, I wish the young brother more youth! & I pray our sister finds a welcoming and fulfilling community that strengthens her imaan.
This was a great open discussion about real life experiences in dubai with great insights. I've been on holiday in Dubai but am more drawn towards Oman as a permanent move abroad. I'm surprised about all the negative views about Dubai not supporting Palestine. Uk provides arms and Saudi doesn't allow protests does that mean you will leave UK and boycott hajj and Umrah. We have to look at morality and security, sadly UK is in decline on both fronts. Kudos to those who take a risk and trying to make it work.
Have any of you thought about if something happens to you or your spouse suddenly what will happen to your children being in a foreign country without family etc?
Where is the concern for the Ummah? Entertaining nonsensical worldly matters when these thugs normalised with Israel! We should not support these despots at all. May Allah guide them and us all.
@@suhail2009 Still much better to be living in Dubai who at least doesn't directly participate in the killings. And where you can practice Islam without anyone bothering you or looking down on you for being a Muslim. Countries like USA, UK and countries in Western/Northern Europe are directly supporting Israel with weapons, new technology and money. Dubai doesn't. So, it all comes down to pick the lesser evil and in this case, Dubai is a lot less evil than USA/UK/Europe.
Sorry but this shows the lack of knowledge you have. UAE directly supports the killing of Muslims in Palestine, Yemen, and Sudan. They are just as complicit in the genocide of Muslims and will be asked about it on the day of Judgement. As far as living for a Muslim, UAE is the bottom of the list with many other better Muslim options to choose from
Lived in Dubai for 9 years and moved to UK 3 years now , the pros you all are discussing is ligit but you guys are only sharing the 5% community eho holds that amount of money or that prevalige of owning own business or in a high paying job,why we left Dubai is when in cornona they were laying off every one from jobs that means you don't have your company visa so thise who have a lot of money can buy independent visa for thier family or just go back to your country. Please consider those conditions while just blindly advocating dubai life style. It's a trap tbh and if you're privileged then they welcome you both hands and if you're not in that category you're nothing. I missed life in Dubai but if it cost me to go back a big "No" from me specifically now as they are more restrictions on speaking abput Palestine rights . Here in the UK you can soeak and protest. Thanks
It's very sus when you can't speak about Palestinian rights in certain countries. I value my freedom of speech and right to protest far too much to want to move to somewhere as restrictive in freedoms as Dubai is.
@@sparks7949 oh Dubaï is very free if it’s to show your ass in string at the beach or flash half of your boobs in a mall bit when it comes to Palestinians… I’m very sad because it’s almost my second home. I was so proud to live in a country where Israeli couldn’t even set foot.
I don’t think these types of videos are a good idea. People around the world including UK and Muslim countries are really struggling and watching these people may cause them sadness - many people have no money therefore no choices. Probably best to teach people how to generate wealth and improve themselves. I did really like the doctor though, she has struggled to settle because she knows something isn’t right. She seems like she wants peace not money or lifestyle.
This is rather odd thing to say. Not every video will fit your exact needs but it may fit someone else. This video actually set a practical, realistic expectation on life in Dubai, how it isn't the paradise destination but it requires sacrifice & adaptability to live and survive there. I didn't see anything ostentatious or bragging within the video, but 4 people speaking on their lived experience while providing nuggets of advice for those who are interested or thinking to come to UAE.
Nah not every video is for your tax bracket and it is good to show we have Muslims doing well, not all of us are poor and unqualified. If you would like to move you can go to Saudi, Egypt, Morocco, Malaysia etc much lower living costs than dubai and UK and much better Islam
Then don’t watch it. Life is full of things we don’t like but focus on what makes you happy you can’t control what other people want to share what kind of comment is this ???
Imagine coming to a Muslim country and STILL sending your kids to a secular school. Then saying that if you send them to Islamic school you need to suppliment with private secular studies teachers but not saying you should have a Muslim home teacher to suppliment I think that sums up what these guys priorities are. Egypt, Morocco, Saudi, Sharjah, maybe Oman all FAR better choices than Dubai if you are not obsessed with dunya (and I have businesses and work but I can call it out for what it is). Plus in Dubai you'll never get residency so nothing to leave behind for your kids, good luck😂
Muslims live in Silos in the UK... Completely failed in UK. Ejecting to Dubai as an Ummah Brigade it can be challenging when INDIAN DIASPORA in UAE reigns SUPREME. Indians and Camels Rule Dubai. Wages are LOW too and Life Expensive. Go to Dubai and do your Research. I did for 1 month last year. I found my niche as an Entrepreneur but the registration is costs but doerable with UK Professional Qualifications. Dubai is too hot and global warming has an impact there.
Ive met hindu people in the uk who say theyvlives in private hindu enclaves with their own schools and suppirt systems. Completely oblivious to other communities, especially muslims. How can this be possible in dubai?
MashaAllah didn't know free mixing is permitted in Islam. Come one Muslims. Implement the deen properly and not western ideas. Be proud of the teachings from Quran and sunnah.
@@Kzam19-ux8wg How do you do tawaf without free mixing? Islam is easy, there is clear distinction on what is permisible and what not. Dont be extreme in religion. This is what Prophet Muhammad SAW said in one hadith.

This is type of conversation and meeting between men and women is permitted and there is nothing wrong with it. There is no evidence for your saying that this is the prohibited type of free mixing. You need to open your mind and read more widely.
Hello brother! I hope you're doing great! I'm a UK citizen living in London, and moving to Dubai in 10 days! 👀☺️🙈 Please if anyone can let me know if there are any whatsapp groups that i could join? Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly InshaAllah - can’t wait to dive into this new adventure! 😃
Many people making the valid points about UAE and their stance and relationship with Zio-Land. This standard isn't held to any of the ummah from Asia who move to the UK/US for economic reasons but Muslims in the West need to be mindful of this? Do you boycott India for their facist regime and their pogrom of Indian Muslims and Kasmiri Muslims? or Pakistan for their military's genocide in Bangladesh/Balochistan/KPK? Ofcourse not. We are mindful of events and evil situations orchestrated by the rulers and authorities in the countries where we live but we try to live and follow Islam as a Muslim and at the same time enjoy a lifestyle that suits us and our family. If that means having no right to protest against Zio-land in UAE so making dua and teaching our kids about the truth instead then I'm sure we are alright. Protesting in the UK is good but nothing solid has been achieved and the UK continues to be directly complicit in crimes in Pal.
To live in dubai you will always complete with people on having the most money and worry about unnecessary material, plus a lot of freemixiing and alot of zina going on,no islam in dubai just a label
Does Mirdif Mosque have any Islamic classes for adults? I’ll be in UAE in a few months and would like to know what it’s like to seek knowledge there as a full time professional
4:58 NHS is not resource poor, because it is free for all, muslim or not, it is saturated by demand and due to its size there is alot of bad resource mismanagement. Dont diss UK for having a system, society and underlying civil fabric that brings people up to be fair to everyone. Dubai on the other has an underlying materialistic fabric with underlying racism, biased to locals and non-coloured westerners and openly enslaving the impoverished humans from indonesia, phillipines, india etc. Do you want your kids to grow up to be like this and having this mindset. You have the UK to thank for who you are and think the way you do
I am qualified teacher in the UK, husband is a Pharmacist and we have 2 kids going to a private school. I am seriously wishing to move to dubai simply to have my kids grow up in a Muslim state. It would be much appreciated if you could please share names of some top end British schools in Mirdif to research into. Jazakallah for your support.
Agreed they’re free mixing. Assim Al Hakeem said a setup like this is free mixing (back by Ibn Uthaymeen and Ibn Baz)…given women aren’t allowed to show themselves online even in niqab, plus chit chatting and laughing with non mehrams is free mixing and your broadcasting this RUclips? We can interact with non mehrams as even the Prophet pbuh did but this setup is haram as we should only keep conversations to the point, no soft speech etc. May Allah guide us
Really enjoyed the podcast, does anyone have any tips for getting a job in Dubai? I am from the UK and have always been interested in working in Dubai.
Lived in Dubai and mirdif for 10 years. I left on my own will 6 years ago. While I miss done aspect of it , how they normalized relation with Israel and do not even allow dua for Palestinian in mosques gutted me.
Same feeling ,not even a dua here in mosques for palestime speaks volumes of their Imaan
I was going to move their back in 2006 and even secured my property... Alhumdullilah I had enough for sight to see where Dubai was heading through simple observations of how the locals got preferential treatment followed by White Non Muslims. Their was no real equality. Even the KING being ordered by the UK to give so much of his fortune over ij his divorce settlement made me realise he has no real power and is just a king controlling his desert any how he wants with no regards for the human life exploited from the East in building this region.
So where did you move too?
This is v sad.
i hope you didn't move to the west because that wouldn't make sense

Probably best to teach people how to generate wealth and improve themselves. I did really like the doctor though, she has struggled to settle because she knows something isn’t right. She seems like she wants peace not money or lifestyle.
This is rather odd thing to say. Not every video will fit your exact needs but it may fit someone else. This video actually set a practical, realistic expectation on life in Dubai, how it isn't the paradise destination but it requires sacrifice & adaptability to live and survive there. I didn't see anything ostentatious or bragging within the video, but 4 people speaking on their lived experience while providing nuggets of advice for those who are interested or thinking to come to UAE.
Nah not every video is for your tax bracket and it is good to show we have Muslims doing well, not all of us are poor and unqualified. If you would like to move you can go to Saudi, Egypt, Morocco, Malaysia etc much lower living costs than dubai and UK and much better Islam
Then don’t watch it. Life is full of things we don’t like but focus on what makes you happy you can’t control what other people want to share what kind of comment is this ???
It's OK for a holiday. Nothing long term. But amazing hotels and food.
Is Islam based on what an individual finds permissible or are the rules set?
Set rules or else it will be chaos.
Luved the real talk
Spicy one 🔥
Get more guys" bring more on panel yo" yo
Imagine coming to a Muslim country and STILL sending your kids to a secular school. Then saying that if you send them to Islamic school you need to suppliment with private secular studies teachers but not saying you should have a Muslim home teacher to suppliment I think that sums up what these guys priorities are. Egypt, Morocco, Saudi, Sharjah, maybe Oman all FAR better choices than Dubai if you are not obsessed with dunya (and I have businesses and work but I can call it out for what it is). Plus in Dubai you'll never get residency so nothing to leave behind for your kids, good luck😂
Every country you mentioned takes it up the ass for itsnotreal. Dubai is a the same there's not really much options probably Oman is decent
keep up the good work
Can you ever become a permanent resident or are you always a ‘guest’ and always renewing visas etc
Guest
always need to renew your visa, unless you're a rich Jew, in which case they will happily bend over and sell them a passport

A concrete jungle. Deserting the sand, for concrete. Time will come when the desert will claim it back.
Muslims live in Silos in the UK... Completely failed in UK. Ejecting to Dubai as an Ummah Brigade it can be challenging when INDIAN DIASPORA in UAE reigns SUPREME. Indians and Camels Rule Dubai. Wages are LOW too and Life Expensive. Go to Dubai and do your Research. I did for 1 month last year. I found my niche as an Entrepreneur but the registration is costs but doerable with UK Professional Qualifications. Dubai is too hot and global warming has an impact there.
Ive met hindu people in the uk who say theyvlives in private hindu enclaves with their own schools and suppirt systems. Completely oblivious to other communities, especially muslims. How can this be possible in dubai?
MashaAllah didn't know free mixing is permitted in Islam. Come one Muslims. Implement the deen properly and not western ideas. Be proud of the teachings from Quran and sunnah.
May i know the dalil on free mixing.
I too would like to know the relationship between these people and whether or not mahaarim were present at the time of recording or not.
@@Kzam19-ux8wg How do you do tawaf without free mixing? Islam is easy, there is clear distinction on what is permisible and what not. Dont be extreme in religion. This is what Prophet Muhammad SAW said in one hadith.

This is type of conversation and meeting between men and women is permitted and there is nothing wrong with it.
There is no evidence for your saying that this is the prohibited type of free mixing.
You need to open your mind and read more widely.
Hello brother! I hope you're doing great!
I'm a UK citizen living in London, and moving to Dubai in 10 days! 👀☺️🙈
Please if anyone can let me know if there are any whatsapp groups that i could join?
Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly InshaAllah - can’t wait to dive into this new adventure! 😃
I would move to Dubai maybe for a short time but to live and nurture my family... A BIG NOO!
This guy knows!
Many people making the valid points about UAE and their stance and relationship with Zio-Land. This standard isn't held to any of the ummah from Asia who move to the UK/US for economic reasons but Muslims in the West need to be mindful of this? Do you boycott India for their facist regime and their pogrom of Indian Muslims and Kasmiri Muslims? or Pakistan for their military's genocide in Bangladesh/Balochistan/KPK? Ofcourse not. We are mindful of events and evil situations orchestrated by the rulers and authorities in the countries where we live but we try to live and follow Islam as a Muslim and at the same time enjoy a lifestyle that suits us and our family. If that means having no right to protest against Zio-land in UAE so making dua and teaching our kids about the truth instead then I'm sure we are alright. Protesting in the UK is good but nothing solid has been achieved and the UK continues to be directly complicit in crimes in Pal.
You know, you know, you know
Talking About you islam while free mixing.
It is nice to listen to people speaking without cussing.
The thumb nail for this video = 4 caricatures 😅
Best is Azaan'Live" Live Call is best in Saudi Dubau Turks
Can you please make a video on how much you need to earn in Dubai to have a comfortable life and to be able to save a bit for a family of 4-6. Thanks
@@roomshendon 30k aed a month minimum.
To live in dubai you will always complete with people on having the most money and worry about unnecessary material, plus a lot of freemixiing and alot of zina going on,no islam in dubai just a label
Am i living in the same dubai🙆🏻♂️
My favorite person is the one in the blue hijab
Is there a TLDW?
Does Mirdif Mosque have any Islamic classes for adults? I’ll be in UAE in a few months and would like to know what it’s like to seek knowledge there as a full time professional
Scared to talk about Palestine as the authorities will knock that door down
To be honest I did not feel any connection with anyome in this circle... worldly vibe alert.. Please go back to UK hehe
Eight rakah for qiyaam is the sunnah. Twenty is not established in the sunnah.
Hi! Can someone please explain to me what is NHS? Thanks!
Are they really comparing private schools in Uk to private schools in Dubai????
Watch Out" your Purse's Pocket.
@20:00
4:58 NHS is not resource poor, because it is free for all, muslim or not, it is saturated by demand and due to its size there is alot of bad resource mismanagement. Dont diss UK for having a system, society and underlying civil fabric that brings people up to be fair to everyone. Dubai on the other has an underlying materialistic fabric with underlying racism, biased to locals and non-coloured westerners and openly enslaving the impoverished humans from indonesia, phillipines, india etc. Do you want your kids to grow up to be like this and having this mindset. You have the UK to thank for who you are and think the way you do
UK is terrible and a failing society, so go and sleep my friend
I am qualified teacher in the UK, husband is a Pharmacist and we have 2 kids going to a private school. I am seriously wishing to move to dubai simply to have my kids grow up in a Muslim state. It would be much appreciated if you could please share names of some top end British schools in Mirdif to research into. Jazakallah for your support.
Pharmacist worth nothing in use lol
Quality on Dubai is not comparable to uk?
Uk must really have become shit now !!

I only clicked for a few seconds. Are these people actually siblings? Or qhats going on? Sorry its extremely strange.
Maybe stay longer than a few seconds? These are British Muslims who moved to UAE, friends
Best Avoid'Lukhkhas'in UAE" like Dubai & Abu
DIFC if u live...where will u have the islamic atmosphere
You can never hear anything so boring then this lot.
How is this halal?
Agreed they’re free mixing. Assim Al Hakeem said a setup like this is free mixing (back by Ibn Uthaymeen and Ibn Baz)…given women aren’t allowed to show themselves online even in niqab, plus chit chatting and laughing with non mehrams is free mixing and your broadcasting this RUclips?
We can interact with non mehrams as even the Prophet pbuh did but this setup is haram as we should only keep conversations to the point, no soft speech etc. May Allah guide us
@@hussainak8914may i know the dalil that free mixing is haram
@@hussainak8914 Exactly, no non-necessary free mixing is allowed.
Lot of Lukhkhas' in Dubai Abu dhabi
Great place for a holiday, but they Israel
Really enjoyed the podcast, does anyone have any tips for getting a job in Dubai? I am from the UK and have always been interested in working in Dubai.
Watch your Pocket's & Crooky's
