Pre-Yemen
Or should I say premen [lol..ok its not funny but I really like using these brackets] So pre Yemen, alhamdulilah I had just come back from a few months spent in al Misr, Egypt. So I had had a taste of a “Muslim” country and how it felt to live in one. And without going too much into Egypt [might write something seperate for that, well I already have but I decided to take it down]..at the time I really enjoyed Egypt and the benefits of living in a muslim populated land after having lived in the kuffaar west for pretty much all my life, the benefits of which I’ll go into in a later post insha’Allah ta3la.
My only other experience of a Muslim land is probably what many people have experienced, which is al Arabia. Most people go there for either Hajj or Umrah and no doubt it is simply like the best thing ever and everyone loves it and stuff, however, its not living. You get to experince it partially and get to hear the beauty of the adhaan being called 5 times a day and the halal environment etc. but its like temp housing for the akhirah before you get sucked back into the dunya.
