504. Commandment – Migrate due to persecution

[4:98] Verily, those whom the angels cause to die while they are wronging their own souls, they (the angels) will say to them: ‘What were you after?’ They will reply: ‘We were treated as weak in the land.’ They will say, ‘Was not Allah’s earth vast enough for you to emigrate therein?’ It is these whose abode shall be Hell, and an evil destination it is; [4:99] Except such weak ones among men, women and children, as are incapable of adopting any plan or of finding any way. [4:100] As to these, maybe Allah will efface their sins; for Allah is the Effacer of sins, and is Most Forgiving. [4:101] And whoso emigrates from his country in the cause of Allah will find in the earth an abundant place of refuge and plentifulness. And whoso goes forth from his home, emigrating in the cause of Allah and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, his reward lies on Allah, and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
