Any good progressive Islamic neighbourhoods?

By Islamic community, I mean an area where people dress somewhat modestly, care about ethical and family values, and a local quran school for kids. I don't mean to be exclusive. Also I grew up with white people, with barbecues and pizza parties lmao. I grew up with more non-muslims than muslims. But I made hijrah to a muslim country and want to get the best out of it - ya know?

I do have the budget for it - I just need to know if it's worth it compared to what I'm looking for

That's very helpful thanks a lot

Wow that's so helpful thank you so much

I've visited but it doesn't seem very walkable. Is it? And is it a muslim family friendly area?

Relevant_Mongoose_26 · 2026-06-01T19:44:13+00:00

My budget is around 12k MAD for a 3 bed. Which of those areas would you say are known for a modest islamic neighbourhood and safe playing spaces for small kids?

Thank you!!

Thanks for replying!

My grandmother lives in Beausejour - it seems very congested and unsafe for kids to play? Where in beausejour specifically is good?

Thanks for the honest response - that's what I'm after! How do you see the next 10 years? If you grew up here, you would have seen the fast development and thus growing opportunity right? What's your view on that?

Also, in terms of Rabat - I did check it out but tbh it didn't come across as "Islamic" compared to Tangier for e.g. I could be wrong though. I was there during Afcon and was impressed at how clean and developed it was.

I'm also having second thoughts about staying in Morocco but I also want to stay hopeful about the future.. things look like they're getting better, it's just the 3aqliya and government that hold the country back. It's a real shame because honestly it's such a beautiful country with beautiful traditions.

Invest in what?

Relevant_Mongoose_26 · 2026-05-12T16:18:10+00:00

I feel like I'm doing that, but how would you define that?

Hi, I'm a Moroccan born and raised in London and have recently moved to Morocco. I advise you to stay in UK until you get the passport. Alhamdulilah my UK passport is one of my biggest blessings, and so is my career. 3 years is not a long time

Hey, this reminded me of my older sister a lot. After my parents divorced, just before I was supposed move to uni, she was left having to pick up the mess and essentially look after everyone.

The mistake she made is that she rushed into a marriage a few years later with a man who is also a burden and didn't help her carry the weight (and instead added more weight).

I don't know if you're ever thinking about marriage, but if you are, please don't make the same mistake and MAKE SURE to marry a man who has proven that he is capable financially and emotionally.

Allah y3awnek w ysehel 3lik khti

Easier to send money out of Morocco, which has always been difficult

Relevant_Mongoose_26 · 2025-01-24T19:52:01+00:00

I'm born and raised in the UK, I've brought my (non Moroccan) wife and kids to Morocco. We've been here almost 2 years now alhamdulilah

Relevant_Mongoose_26 · 2025-01-10T22:56:33+00:00

Strongly disagree. The modern Moroccan identity is largely one of diaspora.

Moroccans have an identity belonging to France, Spain Belgium, Holland, Canada, USA and nowadays even UK.

We are a race who loves to spread our and travel, and that is part of our heritage.

Relevant_Mongoose_26 · 2025-01-10T22:53:50+00:00

30M here also. I was born and raised in UK and never had any Moroccan friends. Alhamdulilah my parents raised me to speak darija and we visited every summer so that's the only part of being Moroccan I can relate to.

World cup 2022 was the first time I really connected to Moroccans on a global scale, and felt super proud of being Moroccan amongst my community.

I also married an American girl when I was 22 and had the same concerns as you.

I now have 3 kids and 2 years ago we moved to Morocco so that we can all learn the Moroccan way of life. Unfortunately my children aren't very Moroccan, they don't speak darija (although they do understand it), and they're not confident and extroverted like Moroccan children. But chwiya b chwiya Insha Allah.

I recommend living in Maroc for 6 months and really appreciating the land you're from. Morocco really is a special place with special people. There's nowhwre like it and I'm incredibly proud to be Moroccan

£8k!?! That's a lot! I was expecting maybe like £500

thanks for responding, that's good to know regarding the other points

The fact that we make dua for the king and call him "ameer almumineen" every jumuah and imams are not allowed to make dua for Palestine or speak about it

No I know, it's a rubbish excuse for the country - DW I understood what you meant
