Hijrah Planning Hub – Practical Guides & Private Consultancy
Price range: £ 4.55 through £ 22.75
Making Hijrah is a major decision, and good intentions need to be supported by realistic preparation.
The Hijrah Planning Hub has been created to give individuals and families practical information from sisters who have actually made Hijrah and are living in the countries they are discussing.
Whether you are researching your options, beginning to make plans, or are already preparing to move, you can access our free general Hijrah guide, detailed destination guides, or book a private consultation for more personalised support.
Not everyone considering Hijrah is moving to Madinah, Somalia or Somaliland.
This free guide has therefore been created for anyone considering Hijrah, regardless of the country or city you are hoping to move to.
It focuses on the things that should be considered before relocating and helps you begin planning your move in a more organised and realistic way.
The guide covers areas such as:
• Clarifying your reasons and intentions for Hijrah
• Researching possible destinations
• Residency and visa considerations
• Income and financial planning
• Accommodation
• Schooling and children’s needs
• Healthcare
• Language and communication
• Transport
• Islamic environment and access to learning
• Community and support networks
• Documentation and administration
• What to arrange before leaving
• What may need to be organised after arrival
• Preparing emotionally for a major move
• Common things people overlook when planning Hijrah
• Questions to ask before committing to a destination
The aim of this guide is to help you move from simply saying, “I want to make Hijrah,” to beginning to think carefully about what that move will actually involve.
Wherever you are considering moving, this guide can be used as a starting point for your Hijrah planning.
This guide is completely free.
Thinking seriously about making Hijrah to Madinah?
This detailed guide has been created from real experience of relocating from the UK to Madinah and navigating everyday life after the move.
It goes beyond the dream of living in Madinah and looks at the practical realities you need to consider before relocating.
The guide covers areas including:
• Different residency routes and iqāmah considerations
• Finding accommodation and understanding how rent is commonly paid
• Typical household and living costs
• Schooling and considerations for families with children
• Healthcare and everyday services
• Transport and getting around
• Islamic learning and accessing classes
• Masjid an-Nabawi and life in Madinah
• Setting up your home
• Practical administration after arrival
• What may be easier than expected
• Challenges people may not tell you about before moving
• Preparing financially and practically before Hijrah
• The realities of building a new life and community
The aim is not to present Madinah as a perfect place where every difficulty disappears. It is to help you understand both the enormous blessing of living in Madinah and the practical responsibilities that come with relocating there.
This guide is particularly useful for individuals and families who are seriously considering Madinah and want to understand what everyday life may actually involve before making major decisions.
Considering Somalia or Somaliland for Hijrah?
This guide gives a realistic introduction to relocating, settling and building a life there from the perspective of someone who has actually made the move.
Somalia and Somaliland are increasingly considered by Muslim families looking for a different environment in which to raise their children and practise their religion, but moving successfully requires preparation and realistic expectations.
The guide explores areas including:
• Choosing between different locations
• Accommodation and everyday living
• Cost of living
• Schooling and children’s education
• Healthcare
• Transport
• Language and communication
• Community and family life
• Islamic environment and opportunities for learning
• Practical preparation before moving
• Adjusting to a different standard of infrastructure and services
• Things that may surprise you after arrival
• Benefits and challenges of life there
• What families should think about before committing to the move
The purpose of the guide is not to persuade everyone that Somalia or Somaliland is the right destination for them.
Instead, it is designed to help you ask the right questions and decide whether it is realistic and suitable for your own family circumstances.
Sometimes a general guide is not enough.
Your family circumstances, finances, children, residency options, schooling needs and intended destination may mean that you need to talk through your plans with somebody who has already made the move.
Our private Hijrah consultancy sessions are for those who are seriously considering Hijrah or actively preparing to relocate.
The consultation is £25 for a 30-minute private session.
During the session, you can use the time to discuss your own Hijrah plans, ask specific questions and receive practical guidance based on your individual circumstances.
We can discuss areas such as your intended destination, proposed timeline, residency considerations, accommodation, budgeting, schooling, what to arrange before leaving, common mistakes to avoid and practical next steps.
For those considering Madinah, consultations can be booked with Umm Khalid.
For those considering Somalia or Somaliland, consultations can be booked with Umm Khadija.
These sessions are intended for those who are genuinely looking at making the move and want focused, practical support rather than a general introductory discussion.
Price: £25 for 30 minutes
Please note that consultancy sessions provide practical guidance based on lived experience. They do not replace professional immigration, legal or financial advice where this is required.
