I was more so trying to work out if living in a non Muslim country is okay from a religious point of view . so what the right thing to do is “religiously”. i did not word/ask the question correctly it should have said if there is anything in Quran or Hadith that either says its okay to live in such places or says its best not to and that living in Muslim/Islamic countries is encouraged religiously … more so for my own understanding/knowledge , not to move out next month.

you seem to think its insane to leave a place that offers a good life for the sake of a “so called Islamic environment”. My only point is that there actually is a difference between Islamic and non Muslim countries and this difference makes me think if it might religiously better to live in a place that encourages a more religious life-style or is the aim just to be religious whereever you are…

I remember a khutbah I heard a few years back. The Imam mentioned that we need to figure out a way to fulfill religious obligations and that living in the west doesn’t absolve us of them. I believe he was referring to 5 times salat. One of the things he mentioned was that if you can’t figure it out here (the west) then you should look into staying in a Muslim country.
