Jazakumullah for your inspiring article. This indeed is the way Islam ought to be practiced. This indeed is the way Islam ought to be preached. Contextual and relevant to the times. Your tips have been very helpful and indeed work towards making us productive Muslims. I liked the bit about “I am human but a Muslim”. Being Muslim means we have certain values we hold dear to and being human means despite the circumstances (conducive or otherwise) our Muslim values will make us behave consistent with those values. In the end we are humans who will stand out because of our Muslim values. May Allah (SWT) increase our understanding of deen and may He make us exemplary models of our deen.

MasyAllah. I used to think for my loneliness, but sure i must not think that. “Behold in the Remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.” [Qur’an: Chapter 13, Verse 28]

And an advice, a very important one in my opinion:
before moving out, don’t forget the ISTIKHARA prayer!

Thank You so much for your nice article. May Allah bless you for it!!! I wouls like to add an issue you did not notice.
Namely,our İNTENTİON with with we move to an other place, country,or where ever, is off a big importance. When our intention is not clear for the sake of Allah, but in fact for our ego, the move we make, can hit us as a bumarang. There are lot of examples about a ‘dubble agenda’ intention which will not work out fine and even against us.
My family and I moved from Holland to Turkye, 16 years ago. Our intention was to let our 2 children grow in a islamitic surrounding so that they would not split up between the religious (islamic) education at home and the modern secular life in society. We have had a lot of troubles, but we always feld the help of Allah was around us. A lot of the advices in your article was practised by us and for so far we made it and indeed our son and daugther are now balanced youngsters ( 23 and 22 years old) living as muslims, Alhamdullilah!
The choice to move to Turkye, to an islamic country was a good decision,because of our pure and clean intention.
