MIGRATION

---

2– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘There are two migrations: one of them is that you migrate away from bad deeds, and the other one is your migration to Allah Almighty and His Messenger, and migration does not stop as long as repentance is accepted.’
[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 46262]

3– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Migration stands at its original position. Allah has no need of him who secretly accepts belief or him who openly does so. Migration will not apply to anyone unless he recognises the proof
[of Allah] on the earth. Whoever recognises him and acknowledges him is a migrant. The title ‘weak’
[This refers to those who are incapacitated, or whom the proof and message of Allah has actually not reached, and thus are not empowered to act (ed.)] does not apply to him whom the proof
[of Allah] has reached, and he hears it and his heart comprehends it.’
[Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 189]

4– Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘He who willingly enters Islam is a migrant.’
[al-Kafi, v. 8, p. 148, no. 126]

5– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The best migration is that you abandon all that Allah hates.’
[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 46263]

6– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The best migration is that you abandon all bad.’
[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 46264]

7– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘A migrant is someone who migrates from wrongs and sins.’
[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 676]

8– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Whoever flees with their religion from one place to another, even if it was the distance of a hand’s span of the earth, Heaven becomes obligatory for him and he will be in the company of Abraham and Muhammad (AS).’
[Majma`a al-Bayan, v. 3, p. 153]

9– Imam al-Sadiq (AS), with regard to Allah’s verse in the Qur’an: "O My servants who have faith! My earth is indeed vast. So worship
[only] Me", said, ‘When Allah is disobeyed in a place that you are in, leave it and go somewhere else.’
[Majma`a al-Bayan, v. 8, p. 455]

10– The Prophet (SAWA), in his will to Ali (AS) said, ‘There is no regeneration after migration.’
[Wasa’il al-Shi'a, v. 11, p. 75, no. 1]

11– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘I disassociate myself from any Muslim who lives with a polytheist in a place of war
[with the enemy].’
[Nawadir al-Rawandi, p. 23]

12– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The one who returns to a state of renegation after migration
[to belief] is one who abandons this affair
[of Islam] after having acknowledged it.’
[Ma`ani al-Akhbar, p. 265]

13– Imam al-Rida (AS) said, ‘Allah has prohibited renegation after migration
[to belief] because of
[the danger] of denouncing one’s religion and leaving the support of the prophets and the divine proofs (AS), and the corruption that would ensue, the nullification of the rights of all those who hold rights
[in religion], especially for bedouins. This is why, if a man were to have acknowledged religion completely, it is not allowed for him to go and live with people who are ignorant
[or in disbelief] of it, and as a result of fear for him, for he can never be safe from falling from his position of knowledge and re-entering into ignorance and remaining therein.’
[Wasael al-Shi`aah , v. 11, p. 75, no. 2]
