السلام عليكم

I’m trying to seek some advice from people in this channel bithnillahitaala.

I am an American muslim male in my twenties and believe that I’ve reached a point in my life where I need a change of scenery in order to improve my mental and physical health. To give some background, the area that I grew up in doesn’t have a particularly strong Muslim presence. Furthermore, my masjid doesn’t have an imam, which has made it difficult for its younger members to actively seek knowledge.

I’m currently exploring the possibility of moving to a new location within the US that has a large muslim community. If Allah wills, it would be nice to attend masajid that have sizable congregations for salah, to converse with reputable (not celebrity) imams, and to feel comfortable going out while dressed in Muslim attire.

I have the feeling that this type of community is mainly limited to some familiar locations in the US (Chicago, NYC/NJ, Detroit area, etc), but I’m open to all suggestions.

It would be nice to find a place with Arabic speakers (exact nationality doesn’t really matter) if possible.

My marital search has been sidetracked for a while for personal reasons, but I plan on picking up the pace soon inshaAllah. I’m open to the idea of marrying a niqabi woman, so it would be nice to find a place where she can feel comfortable while going out.

Some facts about me: - I don’t have a large family, so I’m not really tied to a particular place - Remote job - Conservative muslim (strives to the Quran & Sunnah upon the understanding of the 3 favored generations)

When offering suggestions on potential places, I would really appreciate it if you could recommend specific neighborhoods or masajid.

May Allah make it easy for all of us in the west to be steadfast on our deen.

جزاكم الله خيرا
