Is moving to Madinah a realistic goal for an ordinary working family?
My husband and I dream of moving to Madinah one day, inshaAllah. We currently have a 6-month-old daughter and are hoping to make the move when she's around 15 months old. One thing we're really struggling with is finding a realistic way to make it happen financially. My husband has been trying hard to find remote work, but it feels like every avenue leads to another scam or "get rich quick" scheme. We've come across things like online sales courses, money-making programmes, MLM-style businesses, and various schemes that seem to target Muslim brothers who are simply trying to provide a better life for their families. We're both working professionals – I'm a nurse and my husband is a gas engineer – so we have decent incomes by UK standards. However, living in London is incredibly expensive, and despite working hard it often feels difficult to get ahead and save enough to make a move abroad. We are saving what we can and trying to plan responsibly, but some days I can't help wondering whether moving to Madinah is just a dream rather than something that will actually become reality. For those who have successfully made hijrah to Madinah with young children, how did you make it work financially? Did you find remote work before moving, save for a certain amount of time, or have another source of income? I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences and any practical advice. Jazakum Allahu khayran. #religion source
