Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:
0:08
Emigration when resisting falsehood becomes impossible.
0:14
Linguistically, emigration (hijrah) means abandonment, while in Islamic law,
0:18
it means leaving a land of polytheism for a land of Islam, and by extension,
0:23
leaving a land of innovation for a land of Sunnah,
0:26
a land of sin and disobedience for a land of adherence to Islamic law,
0:31
and a land of usury and unlawful transactions for a land of lawful dealings.
0:37
It is prescribed for whoever is unable to effect change
0:40
and fears falling into polytheism or sins,
0:44
so long as there is no overriding religious benefit in his remaining.
0:49
As for one who has the capacity to denounce evil and resist corruption and its perpetrators,
0:54
it is not permissible for him to emigrate.
0:57
Emigrating for the sake of Allah the Almighty
1:00
is a complete renunciation of all the worldly comforts the soul yearns for—
1:05
such as family, wealth, and homeland—
1:08
and giving precedence to the love of Allah, Mighty and Majestic,
1:11
and the love of His religion over all other beloved things.
1:14
Allah the Almighty said:
1:16
“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)
1:23
“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)
1:30

And Allah the Almighty said:
1:35
“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)
1:43
