I'm sorry, I should have made it more clear.

What are the job prospects for practicing muslims like?

What are the neighbourhood's like?
Are they safe?

Is halal food widely available?

How many masjids in a city/town?
What type of activities do they run?
What type of things can families get involved with?

Cost of living?
Potential to save money?

Is the country clean, is there good healthcare?
What are the chances of gaining citizenship and how could you achieve this?

If there is anything else people would like to mention please feel free. I just made a list of some questions I would have when moving.

I was thinking about india and pakistan. However, when i read reviews about Lahore and Mumbai, I found that pollution is a massive problem in these areas. So it doesn't seem ideal, nevertheless, I would like to be swayed.

Personally, I like it here in London. Home of many Muslim's, Scholars, Mosques, Halal Food, Free Hospital care under the NHS, Free GP appointments, Free school and college education etc. A city in which The Queen lives in the Borough attributed to the Muslim's of Bangladesh

Many argue that the cost of living is high, but I would argue otherwise. Yes the house prices are high, otherwise, everything else is just as cheap as other cities, in fact, even cheaper.

I find that the cost of living in places you mentioned, like India and Pakistan are overly expensive. Expensive medical help, expensive schooling, cost of food rising all the time, corrupt governing, dangerous, dirty, etc etc.

To be honest, I could never recommend London to anyone.

Out of curiosity, I looked into emigration to the UK. (Since I personally wouldn't mind living there.)
It doesn't appear to be an easy or inexpensive process to seek an "extended leave to say" (I think that was the correct name for applying to live in the UK).
The health benefits wouldn't be available without a payment (the regulations I saw didn't state the amount).
The cost of the application was over 2,000 pounds.

Granted, I didn't do an in depth research of the matter, but it doesn't appear to be an easy or inexpensive process.

Similarly, until recently (it's gotten worse since a recent court decision) emigrating to the US would be problematic for most people. Not that living in the US doesn't have it's advantages and there are cities where a large Muslim population resides.

Even if you get "definite leave to stay" you will not be liable to any benefits (NHS included) for 4 years until it is converted to "indefinite leave to stay"

My wife waited 5 years for her to get Indifinite leave to stay (she came as a spouse) and everything was free from the very start.

Was it due to the way she came?
