Question

I finished my undergraduation in engineering last year and am working in Saudi Arabia right now. I am planning to do my masters in the US and work there for a few years before moving back to India or any country in the gulf inshaa allah. My question is about making a Hijrah temporarily inshaa allah to the US since the domain I am working in is not that great in Saudi although I can change my domain but I am not that keen on working in it. Do you suggest that after doing istikhaara I should leave for the US or stay back and work in Saudi ? Which is better for my aakhirah?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Our advice is that you make Istikharaa and seek the guidance of Allah Ta’ala. The guidance of Allah Ta’ala is best.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
