Living amongst the Kuffaar

[UmmHabibah]

Assalam aleikum

Ahlam said:

If you are a true Muslim Believer and sure of your faith, which I think you are, then living among the non believers won't harm you. On the contrary, whoever have a strong faith and good knowledge of Islam, this will be a great opportunity for you for Da'wah.

So then why does Allah subahan wa tala tell us to make hijrah?

The Prophet sws said: Whoever joins the disbelievers and lives amongst them is one of them.

Abu Dawud Kitab al Jihad Vol 3/224

Albani classifies it as hassan in Sahih al-Jami as-Sagheer.

Also, he sws said: Dont live with the disbelievers or join in with them, whoever lives with them or joins in with them is not of us.

Al hakim Al Mustadrak Vol2/141

So how can you state that there is no harm living amongst the disbelievers?

Can you brother bring any daleel to back your statement?

Sister Muslimah there is a difference between trading and living amongst the kuffar.
