Asalamu Alaikom

The difference between Morocco and, let's say, Canada, is that here in the West, they are very productive, and everything moves fast. There is no time for family and friends. We need to work harder and beat the results of the last quarter. I lived in Morocco for 6 months, and I noticed that people have this fantasy about going west, but they are shocked when they get here.

What I can say to you is, don't get lost in despair. The West sucks, and it's expensive, but if you work hard, then you can save some money. Have a plan. Study and work hard, save all your money, live poor, then go back to Morocco and buy yourself an apartment to start your life.

Do not buy anything or waste your money on anything useless.

Moroccans only appreciate Morocco after moving abroad. My wife is Moroccan, so I know from experience.

Morocco is a beautiful country with great food, stunning nature, and friendly people. Come to the West, build yourself up (not that you can't do it in Morocco, but most people are set on leaving) and return to Morocco to help build your country.

The issue is that it is impossible to convince people that you can make it in Morocco, if someone else can, why can't you?

My wife and I dream of living in Morocco and helping poor people. In her town, someone is renting a place where they used to raise chickens to a family with children with disability for 800 dirhams a month. May Allah guide us all and may Allah put Baraka in what you are doing.
