	Lulu, Asalam Alaikum, welcome to Saudi Arabia....... I can't seem to send you a private message and I can't find your email address. I do not want to give out my email address through this venue either. Not sure how to get in touch with each other. Keep in touch and we'll figure it out! Salams

	slamoalaikum sister, i can understand your situtation as i am married to my cousin who is of saudi culture and when i go to her house i feel so lonly.anyways first thing my advise is take islam seriously dont just follow it because its your husbands deen,belive me u will get peace if learn islam. u know americans and brits love to work in saudi as they get tax free income,i have my british manager who worked in saudi for 20yrs. your problem is your financial status beacuse which u cant enjoy things in saudi,there are many things to do in saudi if u r rich,u can have compound accomodation where u can move freely and so,plus what u can do is open a daycare centre belive me u will mint money if do this as u r american and saudis have craze for american teachers.its not easy but very profitable.my true advice to you dont leave ur girl child alone she will be spoiled and be involved in realtions and then she will have no value for islam,god forbid. i dont understand one thing,all your childrens are having american nationality so they should get social security expenses which is arround 500 usd each child if i am not wrong,so 2000usd is a good ammount

	Asslamu Alikum Dear sister in Islam, I feel of you and all foreigners who live in KSA. although I was born here and my dad came here before 40 years, we are still called forefingers. I was brought up to understand you are strange and foreigner. You are not Saudi. From my childhood I still remember when the teacher call for the foreigners to be out of the class to check their ID cards. The teacher took my brother's bag when he was 6 years old and let him back home without it crying because he forgot to bring the ID card which proves he is a human being. Even now we grow up in the work field still called foreigners. In fact, they have an idea that the foreigner is not a complete human being. But sister I am not here fro them... my country is more beautiful than here. I ma here because of Meidna is not Saudi it is Muslim. This is the city of the prophet, peace be upon him and every Muslim has the right to live her.. After that I say sister you have mentioned the dirt and bad environment and add to that the way of treating you after all this is an Islamic society. If the dirt here is on the streets the dirt there is VERY bad. It is in hearts, in faith. Sister look at the Non-Muslim society. It is a real hell. And forgive me if I say they live as animals. No faith No Rules. Crimes every where. Look at girls bothered and hit because of wearing Hijab but it is fine to go out with bikini. Sister please sit with yourself and judge the amount of dirt and the true bad environment in all non-Muslim societies. Dear you have to thank Allah because He has taken you out of the Hell and bless you with Islam and the Muslim society. I swear many Muslims are dying to be in your place. They want just to pray for Allah and wear their Hijab. I know many pray to Allah and cry to move to Muslim countries. Sister we are not live for ever, to die with Muslims and be buried with them and get the mercy is better that dying and be buried with them in that Hell. There is no excuse for a true Muslim who can move to a Muslim society to stay in a non- Muslim society. I think my idea is clear and this aya is a very good remind. I know you may disagree and many may disagree but I said what I feel is true for the sake of Allah and Islam. 4.97 When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they say: "In what (plight) Were ye?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed Were we in the earth." They say: "Was not the earth of God spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (From evil)?" Such men will find their abode in Hell,- What an evil refuge! - 4.98 Except those who are (really) weak and oppressed - men, women, and children - who have no means in their power, nor (a guide-post) to their way. 4.99 For these, there is hope that God will forgive: For God doth blot out (sins) and forgive again and again. 4.100 He who forsakes his home in the cause of God, finds in the earth Many a refuge, wide and spacious: Should he die as a refugee from home for God and His Apostle, His reward becomes due and sure with God: And God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
