I would advise the brother who’s wife has left and gone to the village to marry another women. Going back to UK with his first wife will be a sign of weakness and there will be a lot more compromises he will have to make in the future. She’s he’s wife so must be obedient to him Islamically. My advice would be for the brother to give her an ultimatum to fix up, and if she doesn’t then marry another woman and live his life on his terms, let her live hers. She’s made a choice and he needs to make his choice, as far as the kids are concerned fulfill their due rights and things will be all good Inshallah.
It depends a lot on family. Alhumdulilah my family is always very well educated and everyone genuinely helps each other out plus know their boundaries really well.
Masha'Allah a good blog to acetain the different perspectives of overseas Pakistanis views-opinions on life in Pakistan. It would be good to see the various village lifestyles of any overseas Pakistanis to differentiate the lifestyles.
Mashallah loving this channel. ❤❤❤ Do you know any Australian Pakistanis? Please ask them to talk about their experiences, their kids university and medical services etc, how they adapted to the water etc especially in Islamabad
Reading the comments, I've noticed quite a few negative opinions. Its sad that people are so pessimistic, the couple have said ''its not for everyone'', which is true. People from all walks of life move all the time. To my knowledge trying new things and experiences is a sign of growth!
Pessimism is not the main cause, they are afraid to realize that they maybe wrong in judging their own country. It might not be for everyone outside Pakistan but it is definitely the best country for all Pakistanis. Pakistanis value outside opinion more than their own, that's the crucial mistake they have always done.
@@minkakay1974 These youtubers are really arrogant. It is their way or the highway. I even recall the bearded mufti once saying that Pakistan's GDP will be higher than the UK in a couple of years lmao. Deluded is an understatement
@@brazensmusings2738 And those of us with Pakistani ancestry are well aware of all of Pakistan's problems and shortcomings, it depends on your needs and what you're looking for. If despite everything someone is giving it a try for the sake Allah, we should support them
@@RajaKhan-zf8hh Its not delusion, its just the normal way of democracy that politicians have to continue to remain relevant. All democracies have to have such people to work. Its a fundamental reality of all democracies to keep the people distracted, filled with pride and nationalism so they do not ponder on issues they don't like to work on nor get access to such information.
Assalam. Some people will sell their soul for the uk. Tell the young man if his wife wants a divorce because he’s not moving back to the uk. What guarantee has he that she won’t when he gets back to the uk. She’s not bothered about her kids future so what kind of a mother is she. My advice is burn her passport and leave her at her mums and marry again. Your childrens new mother can’t be any worse than the first.
Better to get married to people of your own class and standing etc. Sorry to say. The people who are from poorer backgrounds causes so many issues. They are always trying to help there poor family members and have little time or understanding of there marriage hence it suffers. Education. And economics plays a part
That is how the caste system works, marrying according to economic and social standing. If Allah has blessed you with wealth, make sure you help as many people as you can.
The question regarding families, this is a generational mind set. Call it being too darn sensitive. If you are a Muslim it is imperative to understand relatives/relations can sometimes say things good or bad or take advantage and give it, based solely upon the fact you are related by lineage. Too many Muslims here in the west think its fashionable to hate or dislike for relatives. I agree no relative is perfect then again you are also a relative to someone. We must follow the sunnah and still keep it with a smile, otherwise you will annihilate the entire family tree.
Great vlogs. Would be great to know what experiences have you or any of the expats you guys meet had with medical care in pakistan - hospitals / doctors / dentists. And what kind of fees do they charge for checkups or dental treatment etc. Jzk khair
pakistan has just found the worlds, 4th largest oil reserves !! We all going back in sha Allah lol ! LOve my people, hope youre doing well my brother, praying the best for you !
Assalamu Alakuim Keep up the good work going Brother Farhan and Myra Bhabi!

First time seeing you guys. Wanted to share my quick experience. Single mother with 2 children and under 16s. I have lived in isb for 3 years. My honest opinion is for all those women who wish to reside in pakistan. If you have a supportive family who can give you a helping hand when required and can protect you as being a woman alone is not all that easy in pakistan. If you have a close family circle, then the best place to be in. No depression, good weather, good lifestyle, normal kids, house help if needed, no racism, no council tax, and no council to rip you off...regret coming back to UK but if only my brother supported me when i needed a plumber, mechanic, electrician, security lol good luck to all of you and hang in ther
Why come back to UK... It's getting worse here by the day, economy down the dumps, no work, no biz and everything collapsing.. Not forgetting Far-Right, Racism, Islamophobia & Knife Attacks etc..
@@JaxenDam00942 you are 100 percent right. Felt alone and unprotected. Tbh feel that to live in pakistan you need strong family background or lots of dosh..a single woman is always watching her back. I am sure you know what I mean. If I was married then I would have not come back...
@@Faz-j3e Good on you sister for coming back. You were single and british, and I know what men there think of someone like that. You either need a job or business that pays you an equivalent of 4k gbp sterling per month to live a decent life there. I make half of that from my local council job here in uk and alhamdulillah I live in relative luxury. The UK is not a dump, it is a blessed country with blessed English people who are inherently just, compassionate, tolerant and have the most amazing sense of humour. It's beyond me why people would prefer to live in Pakistan, basic services are 5050 and if you're poor and in hardship you have no support or compassion from ANYONE.
@mujtabashah3667 I would agree how you summed it up about people being compassionate here. May be a single/mother sister can relate to the points that we raised good and bad. Also, I'm not judgmental about anything. In pakistan people have too much time to have competitions within their own families. Even though you don't rely on them financially but they look down at you if your car or a job is not as good as thers. Everyone wants to have more than other family members. You are only good to them if you have the money or have a good designation that they can boast about. I have noticed that this is becoming too common out here, too, amongst us desis. Where are those times gone when we were taught by our parents not to look up to people who are fortunate but to look at those who have nothing.
*My relatives went back home! Before going they cried like! Hukku beji! We are not comming back ever!! 6 months later saw them shopping in asda!! I tawt wt?*
@@JaxenDam00942 *Yes! Shud av seen em cry tho before they left like it waz a funeral! The whole khaandaan came out like its end of world! All i could hear waz kheri meri nal etc! It took em 6 months and they were back!! Dad was like Guun 💩 khaan ge se!*
I just don't know what to do as in career moving to Pakistan. I have PhD in cardiology but not sure what it entails in Pakistan but I want my children to have their identity
Setup a business there which you can make a great income or a cardiology dr surgery type E.G diagnosing or seeing symptoms others might have missed etc...
You can set up your own clinic and offer a reasonable price for average working class people, also on the side you can go around poor areas and offer free pop clinic to the disadvantage and raise the issue, prevention, awareness, you can go round different areas and do this once a week or 2 and build yourself a portfolio, have a professional video, camera 🎥 man filming your charity work, raising awareness etc and make a RU-vid channel amd showcase your work so others might help financially and set up small clinics around the country, install defibrillators around the country through donations camp and teach those people how to use them and raise awareness! Moving to Pakistan to make a difference, teach them what they don’t know, there’s already 250 million Pakistanis living in Pakistan , do you want to go and add another digit? Don’t be anybody, be somebody.
But people also get to learn of new scams etc and they'll know the game being played too, which will actually help others not falling in the trap.... it's educational..
Allah help this brother to stay in Pakistan for the sake of his children, please Allah, let them stay in Pakistan and please let the wife change her mind because she is for sure influenced by her greedy family, and You know best!!! AMIN.
I understand that the cost-of-living is so much more affordable in Pakistan amd the quality of life on the same 'budget' will be far more comfortable/luxorious in Pakistan. But, what options are there to actually make the same money in Pakistan for Brit ex-Pats whilst living there? -- so many horror stories of people being defrauded there and losing everything on scam land/property investments - just need to know what sort of businesses would be succesful to run from Pakistan and an idea of the investment value to kick-start those businesses.
Alhamdulillah! I'm thinking of moving to Pakistan on my own as a single woman with my son but finding it really scary with all the corruption in Pakistan. The interview with the sister will be so helpful, cant wait!! Thank you guys!
Setup a business.. Sell sheep.. Keep chickens and sell egs - meat.. An online business.. Sell clothing.. Depends on your professional background really.
Online retail business can work awesomely if you have capital in the neighbourhood of 50-100 million PKR. The pinch point is to acquire good creative designers. You can also go into farming exotic ingredients, provincial governments offer substantial concessions and help. The pinch in this is to acquire / rent / lease land cheaply.
My biggest issue with Pakistan is the law & order. If you need anything doing or something happens there is no justice. Money is the only language which is understood.
Bro you come from a working class background in the UK hence why your lifestyle was rubbish such as living in a small house etc. However, the British Pakistanis who are middle class like myself who have 4-5 bedroom mansions, expensive cars, designer clothes, investments etc are certainly not living a rubbish lifestyle. Therefore, I would suggest you be upfront about your own personal socio economic background which shapes YOUR experience before you make general assumptions about how British Pakistanis live 😂.
@@RajaKhan-zf8hh I didn't really speak much about my experience in this vlog. The brothers in this vlog have what you said. So I'm just wondering if you watched the vlog?
@MyBritishPakistaniLife I did watch it. I was more referring to the initial comment made by someone who clearly is either working or low class because if you have a house that is smaller than a bathroom then you are in a different league in terms of poor. Most British Pakistanis who are middle class would prefer to live in the UK and I don't blame them. We are a part of the fabric of this country (UK). In Pakistan, all you will find are beggers, dirt and corruption. All the best to you anyway but Pakistan is not for me. I'm quite happy in my mansion thanks.
@RajaKhan-zf8hh is someone middle class, with luxury cars and lives in a mansion racist? You claim to live in the UK but choose to be racist to a lady native to the country you call home. So, instead of feeding your hate and jealousy. You would get much further in life if you invested in your mental health. It's very clear from tour two comments on my channel that you have a lot of hate. This is something that does not go away from leaving negative comments. So, in short, sort your life out, mate.
@MyBritishPakistaniLife Sort my life out? I think you are the one with the identity crisis and I'm not your mate. You trying to live in big in Pakistan and wanting British Pakistanis to sever their British side, what a tool you actually are. Instead of battling with people who have a different perspective to your own, get a life. Or you could join the long line of beggers in Islamabad because that is the future of your beloved Pakistan right there lol.
@@MyBritishPakistaniLife You ALREADY have biryani so you like roti as well. 😂 Anyways my point is that having a uk passport you have the option to pack bags and move, 99% Pakistanis don't have this luxury so that's why they want to move.
I completely respect and understand that. My story as a British Pakistani is completely different to a Pakistan born. My own grandparents moved out of Pakistan for a better life.
I just like to ask one question, I see a lot of negativity surrounding Farhan’s lifestyle in Pakistan. It’s almost become a major sin for him to earn money online in £££ and not working in a local supermarket in Pakistan or drivie a Uber for a living. But it’s ok for someone to move to UK and claim every single benefit they can get hold of and free NHS, this is seen as a honourable action yet if you move to Pakistan your not allowed to any perks, you have live like a desi. If that’s the case why don’t all those who are in UK get a job n get off benifits and try survive without any benefits! Bet you all will leg to Pakistan then or Bangladesh, India. Just an opinion.
@@MyBritishPakistaniLife lol I think a lot of people live in a delusional world! They have built their own ideology and trapped themselves in a mental cage. They’re not intentionally rude or have an agenda. They need to push themselves to new boundaries and develop themselves. Some people just choose to live everyday on autopilot hence stagnation, inability to understand or think pragmatically. Why would anyone do something that’s not fit for them? Basic economics of life yet lot of people unable to comprehend the reality of it. Who are really deprived? Is it People in UK? Pakistan? Or is it the Mindset? The only thing stopping anyone achieving their goals is themselves. If you lock yourself in a cage then you’ll see the world from a prison system. Quran Liberates people from all these slavery mindset. Allah encourages people to push themselves but people want to restrict others to a supermarket worker lifestyle. That’s why we say Allahu Akbar. His plans are always Greater.
So many native Pakistanis earnings money £$€ on Fiverr and other online platforms. Your RIZQ is the skill set Allah gave you, a local earner is contributing 50k pkr into the local economy but expats are contributing 1.5 lek pkr to the local economy. Everyone is doing their bit. People think Hijra means you have to become a nomad. On the contrary when the Prophet ﷺ migrated to Madinah, from a small village they turned into the capital of the early Islamic kingdom. Islam isn’t a poor destitute religion, that requires you to be uneducated, unemployed, have a small mindset! It’s exact the opposite, the Prophet ﷺ said I don’t fear poverty for my ummah. But why are lot of us in poverty? It’s cause we’ve mentally constricted ourselves from achieving our greatness. This man’s gone Pakistan to establish a kingdom for himself but others are telling him to get a job in a supermarket. If you change what is in your heart then Allah will change your situation.
Nice chat. Unfortunately, occasional disagreements between spouses do occur which can be ironed out for the sake of children. If the wife is unhappy in Pakistan and wishes to move back to the UK, then the husband should respect his wife's wishes and cooperate with her. It would be foolish to be stubborn and break up family over a minor issue. The key is to listen to each other with an open mind. The fact is some people who are accustomed to living in Europe for a while would find it hard to adjust to social conditions in Pakistan, especially adjustment to the relatives' expectations and lifestyle. One's experiences in Europe changes his/her mindset and outlook on life and relationships. That's the reality. Pakistani women living in Europe feel emancipated and empowered which is a wonderful change. It would be foolhardy to expect them to give up modernity and embrace primitivism.
We don’t know what the full story is with the wife wanting. To go back but I have noticed that it’s nearly always the men who want to make Hijra and the women getting dragged along regardless of whether they’re fully on board or not.
@@JaxenDam00942 I replied to this total plonker earlier, but for some reason it's not showing. I agree with you, don't know why he was suggesting that.
Bcoz molvis are often heard given sermons that only not revealing face is not enough but listening to voice of pure women are not much advisable for good society
Your advice is highly irresponsible particularly towards single mums, it is not safe, women are not safe alone! You cannot survive in Pakistan without contacts, families, security or support. It is no picnic and your vlog makes it look seamless.
Haleema you literally know nothing just lies you've read online which is 99% FAKE NEWS... It is perfectly fine and safe many women are living there from around the world in and around Pakistan. Stop towing lies which you've heard from people or online.
We said 1 sister will share her experience of living alone here and how well she's doing it. Doesn't mean everyone's experience is the same, not sure how you've come to the conclusion you've come to. No advice was even given about sisters moving 🤔 Anyway, if you've had experience of living alone and want to share, please drop us an email, would love to hear from you.
To be honest Farhan and Myrah have been honest throughout their journey. You may have misunderstood the whole situation as he never encouraged anyone to move to Pakistan, all he does is show his journey and experience and the difference between UK and Pakistan and shares other peoples experiences. He has always maintained any decision should be yours alone, his experiences dose’nt necessarily provide a base for others but a mere first hand experience. Besides were Muslims, we should always turn to Allah through Istiqarah and dua for anything we intend to do, how foolish it would be for us not to console the One who knows what is behind us and what is before us and for everyone of us He appointed 2 guardian Angels, one behind us and one in front of us ( stated in Quran ), why do people not reflect the creation of the Most Merciful. He asks us look, again look and see if you find any rift in the creation of the Most Merciful, your eyes will turn back to you fatigued ( Mulk). Don’t be disheartened sister, Allah is there for you, whatever life you want, turn Him and ask, He is too shy to turn away from a servant who keeps asking.. Don’t imprison your self to a life and fear and grief, turn to Ar-Rahman and let Him guide to your glory, the creations of the heavens and earth glorify their Rabb day and night ( here Allah is not talking about sitting in one place and doing dhikr ) it’s through your living, when you become a servitude of Ar-Rahman. Go for it! Don’t stop living, achieve your height of glory.
