    A Story of Sacrifice, Tawakkul, Sabr, Shukr - Abdullah’s Hijrah Story | With Faris
    Jun 23 2026
    Brother Abdullah returns to share one of the most emotional chapters of his life: his Hijrah journey after accepting Islam.

    From leaving France to protect his family and Deen, to sleeping on the floor in Algeria, facing visa struggles, accusations, arrest, poverty, and extreme hardship — this is not just a travel story. It is a story of sacrifice, tawakkul, sabr, shukr, and choosing Islam over comfort.

    Abdullah shares how Allah opened doors at the most difficult moments, how Muslim brothers carried him when he had nothing, and how every hardship taught him to rely more deeply upon Allah.

    Watch until the end for a beautiful reminder about rizq, patience, gratitude, and trusting Allah when life becomes uncertain.

    May Allah bless Brother Abdullah, protect his family, grant him success, and make his story a benefit for all of us.

  • "He’s Not Muslim… But Chose an Islamic Country" - Big Frank | With Faris

    "He’s Not Muslim… But Chose an Islamic Country" - Big Frank | With Faris
    May 16 2026
    In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, a British non-Muslim father shares why he made the life-changing decision to leave the UK and move his family to the UAE.
    From growing up around alcohol, violence, and chaos in Britain… to finding peace, safety, and purpose in an Islamic country — this episode dives into modern society, fatherhood, faith, identity, and what truly matters in life.
    We talk about:

    Why he no longer wanted his children growing up in Britain
    The hidden crisis facing families in the West
    Why living in the UAE completely changed his perspective
    The truth about Islam and Muslims vs what the media shows
    Addiction, prison, mental health, and personal transformation
    Why safety, values, and community matter more than money
    Faith, purpose, masculinity, and raising children in today’s world
    Why more non-Muslim families are choosing the UAE

    He also opens up about his struggles with alcohol, anxiety, identity, and the journey that led him to rethink everything he believed about life, family, and religion.
    This is more than a conversation about moving countries — it’s a conversation about meaning, protection, and finding peace in a world that feels increasingly lost.
