00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.830
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:

00:00:08.830 --> 00:00:14.310
Emigration when resisting falsehood becomes impossible.

00:00:14.310 --> 00:00:18.309
Linguistically, emigration (hijrah) means abandonment, while in Islamic law,

00:00:18.309 --> 00:00:23.309
it means leaving a land of polytheism for a land of Islam, and by extension,

00:00:23.309 --> 00:00:26.309
leaving a land of innovation for a land of Sunnah,

00:00:26.309 --> 00:00:31.309
a land of sin and disobedience for a land of adherence to Islamic law,

00:00:31.309 --> 00:00:37.310
and a land of usury and unlawful transactions for a land of lawful dealings.

00:00:37.310 --> 00:00:40.310
It is prescribed for whoever is unable to effect change

00:00:40.310 --> 00:00:44.310
and fears falling into polytheism or sins,

00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:49.310
so long as there is no overriding religious benefit in his remaining.

00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:54.310
As for one who has the capacity to denounce evil and resist corruption and its perpetrators,

00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:57.409
it is not permissible for him to emigrate.

00:00:57.409 --> 00:01:00.409
Emigrating for the sake of Allah the Almighty

00:01:00.409 --> 00:01:05.409
is a complete renunciation of all the worldly comforts the soul yearns for—

00:01:05.409 --> 00:01:08.409
such as family, wealth, and homeland—

00:01:08.409 --> 00:01:11.409
and giving precedence to the love of Allah, Mighty and Majestic,

00:01:11.409 --> 00:01:14.409
and the love of His religion over all other beloved things.

00:01:14.409 --> 00:01:16.409
Allah the Almighty said:

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)

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)

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)

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.439
And Allah the Almighty said:

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)

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)

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)

00:01:52.469 --> 00:01:57.469
"For them, their refuge is Hell—and what an evil destination!"
