THE ENCOURAGEMENT TO PERFORM HIJRAH ALLĀH says, وَمَن يُهَاجِرۡ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ يَجِدۡ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُرَٰغَمًا كَثِيرًا وَسَعَةًۚ He who migrates for the sake of ALLĀH will find in the earth many dwelling places and abundant provision. This is encouraging people to migrate, and explaining the interests that will be served by it. ALLĀH promises - and HIS promise is true - that whoever migrates for His sake, seeking His pleasure, will find many places of refuge on earth, and abundant provision. The many places of refuge refers to that which will help to serve the interests of one’s religious commitment, and abundant provision refers to some worldly interests. That is because many people think that if they migrate, they will be unsettled after having been settled, they will be poor after having been rich, they will be humiliated after having been proud, and they will go through hardship after having had a life of ease. But that is not the case. So long as the believer remains among the polytheists, he will fall far short with regard to his religious duties, both in acts of worship that he may do alone, such as prayer and the like, as well as other acts of worship which must be done by joining others, such as jihad in word and deed, and matters that are connected to that, because he is not able to do that. He will always be under threat and will drift away from his religion (because of persecution and fear), especially if he is weak and oppressed. But if he migrates for the sake of ALLĀH, he will be able to establish the religion of ALLĀH, and engage in jihad against the enemies of ALLĀH and oppose them in word and deed. Moreover, he will have an opportunity to increase his provision. And indeed it came to pass as ALLĀH foretold. The best example of that is the Sahabah (may ALLĀH be pleased with them), when they migrated for the sake of ALLĀH, leaving their homes, children and property for HIS sake. Their faith was completed thereby and they attained perfect faith; they were able to engage in jihad and support the religion of ALLĀH in such a way that they became an example to follow for those who came after them. They also attained that which usually results from that of great victories and a great deal of booty, as a result of which they became the richest of people. Similarly, anyone who does what they did will attain the same results as they did, and this will remain so until the Day of Resurrection. {Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di} #sadi #Nisa (4:100) Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (may ALLĀH be pleased with him): I heard ALLĀH's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for." {Al-Bukhārī #1} https://t.me/Tafseer_Benefits http://bio.link/albaseerah
