Question

I have job offers in three different countries. My wife is pregnant so we need to move before the baby is born but she needs to get a visa in each place. All the jobs have benefits, some have a better salary, some are easier to get a visa, etc.

What should I look at as a priority? I know Allah has given me opportunities but I want to make a choice that pleases Him.

Answer

Keep deen as a priority and good association that will encourage you towards righteousness and Allah consciousness.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
