Migration: A Path towards “Salvation” 🕋

As Warsan Shire once put it: “No one leaves home unless / home is the mouth of a shark.” Sometimes migration is a solution to turmoils, calamities, and a change to an unwanted reality.

Migration of Muslims was divinely inspired and timely, given the unbearable circumstances they faced for prolonged periods.

Muslims suffered greatly, and their status quo had to be changed.

They left their houses, businesses, homeland, and history behind, moving to lands and communities new to them, starting entirely new lives.

They relied on Allah, hoping for a more stable, safe, and comfortable life. This earned them stability in Medinah, even though they loved Mecca, their original comfort zone.

The Duty of Migration

Migration and moving forward is a way to change your status quo. It is a duty upon every person. Move away from what bothers you and start anew. Only a tree is rooted in the soil where it is planted; you can always begin again.

Don’t waste life in situations you cannot bear. Make a plan and move toward a life that brings happiness and fulfillment. Miracles arise not from comfort zones, but from taking risks and correcting what had gone wrong.

Migrate to a Better Self

Migrate from your current self to a newer and better version!

Trust in Allah, rely on His guidance, and embrace change as an opportunity to grow spiritually and personally.

I pray Allah that you start now the life you deserve!

Stay blessed.
