• A Story of Sacrifice, Tawakkul, Sabr, Shukr - Abdullah’s Hijrah Story | With Faris 23.06.2026 2sa 12dk

  Brother Abdullah returns to share one of the most emotional chapters of his life: his Hijrah journey after accepting Islam. From leaving France to protect his family and Deen, to sleeping on the floor in Algeria, facing visa struggles, accusations, arrest, poverty, and extreme hardship — this is not just a travel story. It is a story of sacrifice, tawakkul, sabr, shukr, and choosing Islam over comfort. Abdullah shares how Allah opened doors at the most difficult moments, how Muslim brothers carried him when he had nothing, and how every hardship taught him to rely more deeply upon Allah. Watch until the end for a beautiful reminder about rizq, patience, gratitude, and trusting Allah when life becomes uncertain. May Allah bless Brother Abdullah, protect his family, grant him success, and make his story a benefit for all of us. 00:00 Intro The sequel begins 00:35 From accepting Islam to Hijrah 01:01 Why France became difficult for his family 02:10 The Algerian imam who opened the first door 03:00 Testing Algeria before moving the family 04:26 Sleeping on the floor changed his life 06:42 Hearing the Adhan freely for the first time 07:58 Why he never slept in a bed again 08:40 Leaving everything behind in France 10:01 The visa that later caused major problems 12:21 Visa expiry and fear of returning 12:58 Police visit his mother in France 15:36 The fear of losing his children 17:02 Facing the strict immigration officer 19:12 Charlie Hebdo aftermath and rising fear 21:27 Moving 200km for a new chance 22:33 Business papers, residence struggles, and betrayal 26:29 A new police chief and the order to leave 30:30 Accused without evidence 33:13 The hospital paper that delayed deportation 37:40 Another French brother gets arrested 45:35 The hidden prison suspicion 47:24 Moving again in panic 50:23 Accused of being a spy in the desert 52:18 A strange meeting in a Tijani area 56:14 “Become Tijani and get your papers” 58:16 Refusing to compromise the Minhaj 59:06 How his mother was touched by Muslim generosity 01:02:13 A shocking visa accusation 01:04:05 “Interpol is looking for him?” 01:05:13 A car accident and incredible generosity 01:07:23 Muslim families offer their homes 01:10:08 Arrested and sent back to France alone 01:12:22 Back in France with no case against him 01:14:20 Barred from entering Algeria again 01:15:14 “I only cared about saving my religion” 01:16:02 Living with cockroaches and no comfort 01:18:03 Visiting a brother who had almost nothing 01:21:36 The TV fitnah and a lesson for parents 01:25:23 Leave something for Allah 01:26:50 From Algeria to Morocco with nothing 01:31:50 “Even this was better than France” 01:33:50 Selling perfume in the street 01:36:39 Rizq is from Allah, not people 01:40:13 The apartment where the family almost died 01:43:54 Why residence became impossible in Morocco 01:47:01 The dream to reach Saudi Arabia 01:49:03 A 3-month Saudi visa arrives 01:50:44 “Pack like we’ll never come back” 01:51:08 Seeing Makkah and the Kaaba 01:52:37 The UAE door opens unexpectedly 01:53:58 Two hours before the flight — everything changes 01:55:35 Advice that stopped a dangerous decision 01:57:49 Life changes after reaching the UAE 01:59:23 Still seeking a Muslim nationality 02:01:30 The fruit of tawakkul 02:02:08 The whole story in one sentence 02:05:45 Fear of money vs trusting Allah 02:08:41 Your rizq is already written 02:09:17 Patience through every test 02:10:58 Sabr and Shukr go together 02:11:51 Abdullah’s Arabic language project 02:12:25 Closing dua #Hijrah #Tawakkul...
