Emigration (Hijrah) unto Allah.
0:10
Part of a person’s complete flight unto Allah and seeking refuge in Him
0:16
is to abandon everything that hinders one from the path leading to Him.
0:20
As the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:23
"The emigrant is one who abandons what Allah has forbidden."
0:27
Agreed upon.
0:29
And as Ibrahim, peace be upon him, said to his people:
0:34
“And Lot believed him, and said: Lo! I am a fugitive unto my Lord. Lo! He, only He, is the Mighty, the Wise.” (29:26)
0:37
“And Lot believed him, and said: Lo! I am a fugitive unto my Lord. Lo! He, only He, is the Mighty, the Wise.” (29:26)
0:41
It is a psychological emigration before it is a physical one.
0:46
In it, a person leaves behind everything in their environment and homeland
0:50
that obstructs them from reaching Allah.
0:53
For no matter how harsh or polluted a person’s environment may be,
0:57
they must strive to remain pure and sincere,
1:01
just as Allah brings forth pure milk from between filth and blood.
1:06
Thus, their emigration becomes a complete transition from one state to another,
1:11
and from various attachments to a single bond,
1:15
with nothing else competing for space in the soul.
1:18
This is the perfection of detachment, sincerity, and submission to Allah the Exalted,
1:23
along with tranquility and certainty in Him, glory be to Him.
