| slm Many of us live in USA/UK/Morroco ;) but we originate from different countries. When our parents get old it is our duty to care for them. My parents feel that they don’t want to grow old in UK and ‘want to go back home’ inshAllah. Since I have been bought up in UK I feel comfortable with life here rather than ‘back home’, but at the same time I want to care for my parents and be with them when they need me. Sometimes I feel confused. Do any of your parents want to ’return home’ and do any of you intend to go back with them? Han. |

| aslaamu alaikum, my parents have been away from home so long they wouldn't be adjust or want to go back.. they are fine right here in Markham, Ontario, Canada. And when it comes to caring for them, they do not want me to, that makes me sad :( but my wife and I are for them for that purpose and that purpose only in the long-run otherwise we would be long gone Insha'Allah. aslaamu alaikum. abdullah,. |

| As salamu alaykum Hania, I can relate to your dilema, but it is the opposite for me. Caring for my parents would be the one reason that I would stay in the States, but other than that I would love to leave. I even prefer living in New England so that I can see them all the time. Most people that I know want to go home, because it is where your heart is. When I lived in Germany many of my friends had the same dilema that you have. Allahu alim what will happen especially when there are grandchildren. Many of the families that I knew would spend half of their time in their home country and half in their European country. Al hamdu lillah everything has a way of working out, so try not to worry and insha'Allah everything will fall into place for you when the time comes. As salamu alaykum Marcie |

| [slm] My parents would love to go back home to Turkey. Even though the government is so corrupt right now and there is no such thing as human civil rights left. My extended family is back home, aunts, uncles, grandparents, every1 is living there. So, I understand why my parents want to go back. However, it's different for me. I grew up in this environment and I am used to the comfort in which I live my life (Alhamdulillah Allah (SWT) has given me so much). It would be hard for me to go with them if they decided to go back in the next few years, w'Allah-u A'lam. [wlm] Betul |
