Salamu 'alaikum sister Ummhabibah,
You shouldn't forget my sister that one of our duties is to make da'wah, to call others to the Islam. So if everybody of us make hijrah, then who is going to spread the word of truth in the non Muslim countries ???
I said and I will say again that those who have poor knowledge of Islam and fear fitnah it's better for them not to stay with the non believers.
Don't you know that Abu Hurayrah, Abu Dhar al-ghifari (RA) and many other Sahabah were ordered by our dear Prophet peace be upon him, after they embraced Islam, to go back to their NON BELIEVERS tribes and live with them to make Da'wah.
Our dear Prophet sws and sahabah made the Hijrah because the sahabah RA could no more endure the hardships and the torments they were undergoing, the torments were so great. So it was better for them to make Hijrah, to practice their religion as they want.
You must also bear in mind that the sahabah RA went to many Futuhat to spread the word of Allah and many of them stayed in those countries to call for Islam.
So if the Muslims who live in the non Muslim countries COULD NOT practice their religion freely and are undergoing hardships so IN THAT CASE it's bettter for them to leave that country and live with Muslims.
Sister, you could not imagine the efforts many good Muslims are doing in spreading the word of Truth "La ilaha illa LAh Muhammad Rasulu LAh" in the non Muslim countries. Could you imagine what a great reward are they going to have? It's very possible that they couldn't have that great reward if they are living amongst Muslims.
May Allah guide us to what is best for us and may be please with us!!
Salam
Your sister Ahlam
