00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,830
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:

2
00:00:08,830 --> 00:00:14,310
Emigration when resisting falsehood becomes impossible.

3
00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:18,309
Linguistically, emigration (hijrah) means abandonment, while in Islamic law,

4
00:00:18,309 --> 00:00:23,309
it means leaving a land of polytheism for a land of Islam, and by extension,

5
00:00:23,309 --> 00:00:26,309
leaving a land of innovation for a land of Sunnah,

6
00:00:26,309 --> 00:00:31,309
a land of sin and disobedience for a land of adherence to Islamic law,

7
00:00:31,309 --> 00:00:37,310
and a land of usury and unlawful transactions for a land of lawful dealings.

8
00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:40,310
It is prescribed for whoever is unable to effect change

9
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:44,310
and fears falling into polytheism or sins,

10
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:49,310
so long as there is no overriding religious benefit in his remaining.

11
00:00:49,310 --> 00:00:54,310
As for one who has the capacity to denounce evil and resist corruption and its perpetrators,

12
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:57,409
it is not permissible for him to emigrate.

13
00:00:57,409 --> 00:01:00,409
Emigrating for the sake of Allah the Almighty

14
00:01:00,409 --> 00:01:05,409
is a complete renunciation of all the worldly comforts the soul yearns for—

15
00:01:05,409 --> 00:01:08,409
such as family, wealth, and homeland—

16
00:01:08,409 --> 00:01:11,409
and giving precedence to the love of Allah, Mighty and Majestic,

17
00:01:11,409 --> 00:01:14,409
and the love of His religion over all other beloved things.

18
00:01:14,409 --> 00:01:16,409
Allah the Almighty said:

19
00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:23,409
“Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:100)

20
00:01:23,409 --> 00:01:30,409
“Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:100)

21
00:01:30,409 --> 00:01:33,439
“Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (4:100)

22
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:35,439
And Allah the Almighty said:

23
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:43,439
“Lo! as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah's earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey's end;” (4:97)

24
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:47,469
“Lo! as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah's earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey's end;” (4:97)

25
00:01:47,469 --> 00:01:52,469
“Lo! as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah's earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey's end;” (4:97)

26
00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:57,469
"For them, their refuge is Hell—and what an evil destination!"
