i was suppose to join this topic earlier but anyway .. here we go.
MY OWN OPINION.
i'm one of those who does experiance the life among Non Muslims. and i have to declare that my faith was never that strong while i was living among Muslim community.
living among Non Mislims it gives me the chance to preach and to teach others about Islam.. and in the same time it teachs me that i have to gain more knowledge about Islam so i can answer any question Inshaa Allah when someone come and ask.. Wowww how wonderful is the life among non muslims especially when they come and say Laellaha ella Allah Muhammd rasolullah.( THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND THAT MUHAMMD IS HIS MESENGER)
in my opinion.. living among non muslims is much better.
salam

Perhaps my brothers and sisters are unaware of the end of those who are happy to live among the ranks of the kufaar;
<b>When the angels of death cause those people to die who have wronged their souls, they ask: "What was your condition?" They reply: "We were oppressed in the earth." The angels say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate and go somewhere else?" Hell will be their abode and it is a very evil refuge! 4.97</b>
However, those helpless men, women and children who have neither the means to migrate nor strength to escape, 4.98
Allah may pardon them. Allah is the Pardoning, Forgiving. 4.99
The above verses were revealed after the battle of Badr. Not all the muslims migrated to Madina. Some were happy to remain in the company of the Quraish and some had no way of migrating. As for those who elected of their own free will to remain behind, when "Badr" came, the Makkah-muslims were forced to go out with the Quraish to Badr and out of fear they joined the ranks of the kufaar. And consequently some were either killed by arrows or were killed by the true Madina muslims with the sword although they tried to avoid combat.
The Makkah Muslims were labelled munafiqs by Allah not because they were forced to fight, but because they chose to live with the kufaar willingly!
And the muslims who were happy to live in Makkah after hijirah are now numbered among the people of the left hand.
<b>Hell will be their abode and it is a very evil refuge! 4.97</b>
On the authority of Al-Numan bin Basheer, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah say :
<i>"That which is lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is plain and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which not many people know. Thus he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allah's sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole, all the body is whole and which, if it be diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart."</i>
Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim
On the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khurdari, who said: I heard the messenger of Allah say:
<i> "Whosoever of you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart; and that is the weakest of faith."</i>
