اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ تَوَفّٰىهُمُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ ظَالِمِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوْا فِیْمَ كُنْتُمْؕ-قَالُوْا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-قَالُوْۤا اَلَمْ تَكُنْ اَرْضُ اللّٰهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوْا فِیْهَاؕ-فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ مَاْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُؕ-وَ سَآءَتْ مَصِیْرًاۙ (97)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Indeed, those whose souls are taken by the angels while they wrong themselves, the angels say to them, “Which state were you in?” They reply, “We were weak upon the earth.” The angels say: “Was the land of Allah not vast that you could have migrated?”[1] So they are those whose abode is Hell. And what a terrible place of return it is!

Commentary

This verse proves that if an individual cannot remain upon his religion in a city and he knows he can fulfil his religious obligations by going to another city, it becomes mandatory (wājib) for him to migrate. In light of this ruling, many Muslims who live among disbelievers need to reflect upon their state.
