Any time the humans are living without divine guidance, they generate a hostile environment. They are confused, lonely, deceived, in darkness and waiting for a savior. They need someone to elevate their souls and to take them from this chaotic state to guidance, peace, tranquility, and oneness of their Creator. A person can never attain true peace and happiness until his soul recognizes and is united with His Creator.
Today we are in a chaotic state because of our weak faith and lack of vision for the future—our future as well as the future of our families, society and mankind. Why? Because we are selfish and only think about our own momentary comfort to the point we are willing to sacrifice our faith and our future in this life and th
the deliverance of message of Islam to humanity. Everything besides it, including their personal lives, was meaningless!
Today we study about the migration of our Prophet SAW and his companions and we say WOW, or we feel good about it, or we might cry over the things they endured but how many of us wonder how we can be with them? How can we be like them?
This raises the following questions:
What does the word immigration mean?
Linguistically it means to leave; to get out; and to move.
Leave or move from where to where?
The scholars have said that this is a move from:
darkness to light;
ignorance to knowledge;
worshipping each other/idols/nothing to worshipping the Almighty Lord, the only one worthy of this honor;
being stuck with our culture and habits (even if they are bad and harmful) to the obedience of the of the Almighty and teachings of His Prophet SAW;
the present lifestyle and material madness to the hereafter, to Paradise and to the life of infinite happiness;
the diseases of the heart to the purity of the heart;
selfishness and personal greed to the benefit of all humanity;
the injustice and oppression against myself and others to the justice and kindness to myself and others;
Thus migration is of many levels and takes many forms. It starts with an internal migration of thought and desires to reach the love and pleasure of Allah SWT, and it is the most beautiful kind of migration. No messenger and Prophet reached his high status with Allah SWT without carrying out one or the other type of immigration.
Are you ready to immigrate to your Lord? Are you ready to experience the real happiness of your soul and body? Are you willing to take a stand for your faith and fulfill your covenant to your Lord by living and spreading His message to mankind?
e hereafter.
How far have we come from that night which generated light and illuminated the earth! What goal those people had and what price they paid for it!
Do I have a goal?
Do you have one?
When studying the lives of the companions of Prophet SAW one almost feels a sense of urgency, responsibility, honor, and championship. They were all aiming towards and living for one thing: the deliverance of message of Islam to humanity. Everything besides it, including their personal lives, was meaningless!
