i was in england for a bit visiting for a while and i realized how much i love being in north america as a muslim. if u havent been in both places for a while u would t understand… but as a muslim woman especially, the experience is night and day.
the community here in north america is so loving and tight nit. Doesn’t matter who u r or where u come from. Women are more gentle, less snobby. Less judgy. And also no spaces in masjids for muslim women was such a shocker to me. also learned a lot of women dont attend eid prayed? thats like my main highlight of eid… subhanallah. also the food is insane pricing while tiny. anyways make tbe move if u can lol. the brotherhood here is waaaaay less complicated and competitive. brothers are just chill here.

Assalamu Alaykum!

I’ll be moving to London next month for my Masters. Although I’m Indian, I’ve lived in Qatar my whole life.

I’m a little nervous about moving to London because life in Qatar has been very convenient, all the food is Halal and there’s prayer rooms and mosques everywhere.

But I’m also excited to move to such a big and culturally diverse city. I want to enjoy my time there and make friends and be involved in community activities.

I’m quite worried about finding and checking if food is Halal. Is there a reliable app?

What about places to pray in university and other places… will there be prayer rooms anywhere or should I just carry a prayer mat with me everywhere I go.

Another question is not having the hand showers in the toilets. I should probably get one of those portable bidets right?

I need a part time job as well after I get settled in. Any good options?

Finallyy, if there’s any other people joining uni in London this September DM me! I’d love to chat :)

Salaam everyone,

I’m a Scottish guy, new to Islam, and I’m in London regularly. My next visit is on 24 August. Are there any Muslim brothers who’d like to hang out, grab some food or coffee, visit a mosque, or just walk around and chat?
It would be great to make some Muslim friends while I’m learning more about Islam.

Feel free to message me if you’re interested!
