Two Step (or more) in making Hijrah

Assalaamu Alaykum,

A short post today, but my wife was saying to me last night, that our Hijrah might end up being in two or more steps so let me explain what we mean by that.

It is an obligation to leave the UK now, today if possible, as soon as the means and plans are done then go. But that doesn't mean where you go to is going to be perfect, or that is where you eventually want to end up.

Therefore, although I am applying for positions in the Gulf, in the long run I really don't see my future there. The oil is going, and with it will be the means to support the huge populations that have mushroomed there, and we know those who have no tribal link are likely to be first to be asked to leave.

So, therefore it might be good place to go to get out of the UK and earn some money, fulfilling the obligation of Hijrah away from Darul kufr whilst it is at war with the believers but as a long term destination I would want to live somewhere I can buy farm land and live my life in peace when the oil runs out without having to worry about whether the food is going to run out with the oil.

So my first step in the Hijrah is likely to be the gulf if i can find work there, the 2nd step is most likely to be somewhere poorer but closer to the agricultural base of civilisation, less over-populated, less prone to damage from oil crash.

Assalaamu Alaykum,
