Bump!
Is this the majority view?
http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/22475/hijraPraise be to Allaah.
Migrating from the land of kufr to a Muslim country is obligatory upon every Muslim who is able to do it; whoever does not migrate when he is able to is wronging himself and is subject to Allaah’s warning of a severe torment. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): “In what (condition) were you?” They reply: “We were weak and oppressed on the earth.” They (angels) say: “Was not the earth of Allaah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?” Such men will find their abode in Hell — what an evil destination!”
[al-Nisa’ 4:97]
In Sunan Abi Dawood (2274) and elsewhere, it is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I have nothing to do with any Muslim who settles among the mushrikeen.” (A saheeh hadeeth, al-Irwaa’, 5/30).
Ibn Rushd said: It is obligatory, according to the Qur’aan, Sunnah and scholarly consensus, for anyone who becomes Muslim in a kaafir country to migrate from there and settle in a Muslim land, and not to live among the mushrikeen or settle among them. That applies if he is not able to practise his religion openly or he is forced to follow the rulings of kufr.” (al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 4/264)
It says in Mughni al-Muhtaaj (6/54): “If he is not able to practise his religion openly or he fears some tribulation (fitnah), then it is obligatory for him to migrate, whether (the Muslim) is a man or a woman, even if she has no mahram.”
You have a mahram who could take you to a Muslim country, but it is not right for you to come unless you can find a safe place in which to live, such as a community in which Muslim sisters live, or an Islamic center where there is someone who could protect you and take care of you and watch over your religious and worldly affairs so that you will not be exposed to fitnah and loss. If you cannot make any such arrangements, then you are excused, until you can find a safe place, because Allaah has restricted the obligation of migrating (hijrah) to those who are able to do it, and the lack of a place where you will be safe from corruption or loss is included under the heading of not being able. So you are excused for that reason until such a place become available. When such a place become available, then come with your mahram, after which it will be o.k. if you stay without a mahram in that safe place. And Allaah knows best.
With regard to advice, we advise you to adhere to your religion and practise it both outwardly and inwardly as much as you can. Strive to learn the rulings of your religion from sound sources that are based on shar’i evidence. Also strive, so long as you are living in a kaafir country, to convey the call of Islam as much as you can to others, especially non-Muslim women and Muslim women who are negligent about their religion, using the means prescribed in sharee’ah. Note that one of the best means of da’wah is to be a good example yourself, and adhere to the rulings of Islam, and to its noble morals.
We ask Allaah to help you to do good… Ameen.

Bump!
Is this the majority view?
Bump! again
Bump! It looks like this topic is hushed up amongst everyone
Bump again!1 I want some more info on this
speak up everyone
that was fast, already read that thread thats why I brought this up
Isnt this misinterpretation a islamic version of zionism ? Remember Prophet SAW only left mecca when he felt threat to his life and he couldn't follow his religion.In my country there is no clause whatso ever that prohibits me to follow my religion.heck i enjoy more freedom than most muslim countries which assume they are following the right shariah.For me my home lies in my hometown.I guess Allah wouldn't distinguish people on the basis of region but on the basis of imaan and goodwill.
“In what (condition) were you?” They reply: “We were weak and oppressed on the earth.”
this is the most important point.I am not oppressed here.
Here are a few other threads. I don't know if they'll help since I've not read them properly myself.format_quote Originally Posted by aadil77

Hijrah - Migration for the Cause of Allah
http://www.islamicboard.com/manners-...disbelief.html
JazakhAllah for those links from that it seems pretty obvious that hijra is obligatory on us
so why are imams, sheikhs, alims and everyone quiet on this issue, shouldn't they be teaching the same thing?
The majority of scholars will say that unless you are actively giving da'wah to the non-Muslims in the land of kufr, or are benefiting the Muslims there with knowledge (or are here for education which cannot be gained elsewhere which is beneficial or for medical treatment) you are obligated to emigrate to the Muslim lands if you have the means to do so.
Sorry i havent read those links.. but didn't our beloved prophet muhammad (pbuh) live with non muslims at madina ? .So why is hijra obligatory ? and i belive if its obligatory and all muslims move to muslim countries all those countries would be full of refugee camps and their entire economy destroyed ?
Thats why I'm trying to learn more on this^
Assalamu Alaikum
This is new to me, I have to migrate to a Muslim coutry?
You do get a good reward for hijrah.
I wouldn't mind but If you're unable to...
At the treasure of time conference Dr Bilal Phillips was talking about this and he said all the Muslims should get together and all move/pupulate to 1 city and make it Muslim land/city
and implement Islam there and once people see how our crime rates, rape rates, theft rates go down they'll start to favor Islam.
I actually think it's a good idea, some 1 said we already have Muslim towns like Bradistan/ bradford but he said not every 1 is really praticing there.
I'm gonna try and buy the treasure of time conference DVD and I'll send that bit 2 you it was really interesting made loads of sense.
He said "Why not?" other communities have done it, the polish have done it why can't Muslim's all populate 1 city and make it Muslim land.
Also I read somewhere that when the prophet peace be upon him migrated to Medina they established their own market place just for the Muslims I think, and the Muslim's were totally dependant upon themselves, for example for every need they had they would go to a Muslim retailer their community was dependant upon itself they could function without the other communities.
Wouldn't it be great if we could do this, if we had our own everything like teachers, doctors, shops.
I know what you mean brother but at the end of the day we can't make the gov't muslim or follow shariah, we'll still be living by non-muslim law, still be paying taxes to contribute to the deaths of our brothers/sisters, still be among the fitna of this society etc
I've thought of the dawa'h and spreading islam side of it. It feels odd because muslims here in leicester are well settled and practising, exactly how Dr phillips might have mentioned, here you can find muslims working in every sector, you can get loads of halal meat shops/restaurents/grocery stores, atleast 20+ masjids, madrassas/ academies even our islamic highschool, you get muslim soliciotors, muslims dentists, doctors and all sorts of muslim businesses. It feels weird to think that all of us shouldn't be living here
and jazakhAllah for offering to put up that video
If there was khalifa, we would be obligated to make hijrah to dar-al-islam. There is no dar-as-islam at the present moment. InshaAllah that will change soon. Make dua for the sincere brothers in Afghanistan and Somalia.format_quote Originally Posted by Rasema

He said "I hear they've done something similar to this in Leceister, it would be a good place to start if all the Muslims in the UK started migrating there"
lol looks like we're famous, I'd rather leicester stays how it is as well balanced, I'd hate to see some of the scum from places like bradford come and ruin our communityformat_quote Originally Posted by squiggle
