💯 Miscellaneous Benefits from Yemen

BENEFIT 38: A warning and an encouragement for 'the regretful one' (i.e. the Muhājur who wants to turn back on his heels) ➢ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗷𝗿𝗮𝗵: 1⃣- You are committing a major sin: The Prophet ﷺ said: “The one who consumes Ribā, the one who pays it and the one who writes it down, if they know that it is Ribā; the woman who does tattoos and the woman who has it done for the purpose of beautification; the one who withholds Ṣadaqah (Zakah); and the one who reverts to the life of a Bedouin after having made Hijrah (i.e. forsakes his Hijrah) - they will (all) be cursed upon the tongue of Muḥammad [ﷺ] on the Day of Resurrection.” [Sunan An-Nasā'ē (5102) - graded Ṣaḥīḥ by Sheikh Albāni] 2⃣- The Prophet ﷺ supplicated for his Companions to remain steadfast in their Hijrah and not to forsake it: He ﷺ said: ((اللهم أمض لأصحابي هجرتهم ولا تردهم على أعقابهم)) “O Allāh, complete for my Companions their Hijrah, and do not cause them to turn back on their heels.” [Bukhāri & Muslim] This shows that Hijrah is a long term commitment! An-Nawawi raḥimahullāh said in his explanation of this ḥadīth (Muslim - ḥadīth 1628): «ومعنى أمض لأصحابي هجرتهم: أي أتممها ولا تبطلها، ولا تردهم على أعقابهم بترك هجرتهم ورجوعهم عن مستقيم حالهم المرضية» “The meaning...is: Complete it (their Hijrah) and do not invalidate it, and do not turn them back on their heels by causing them to forsake their Hijrah and abandoning this pleasant, upright condition (that they are on).” 3⃣- Likewise in the same ḥadīth, towards the end, it mentions how the Prophet ﷺ felt grief for Sa'd ibn Khawlah due to him passing away in Makkah after having migrated from it. 5⃣- It is not permissible for a Muhājir to return to the country they migrated from for more than three day (as mentioned in the previous post) except for a valid reason. 🔺Note: There's no sin on a Muhājir if he gets deported back to his country unwilling, however, after deportation he must leave as soon as he gets the chance.

You can always repent, renew your intention and make Hijrah once again.” The brothers of Yūsuf fell for it and they came to regret. Contemplate: {ٱقۡتُلُوا۟ یُوسُفَ أَوِ ٱطۡرَحُوهُ أَرۡضࣰا یَخۡلُ لَكُمۡ وَجۡهُ أَبِیكُمۡ وَتَكُونُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ قَوۡمࣰا صَـٰلِحِینَ} “Kill Yūsuf or cast him out to some ˹distant˺ land so that the favour of your father may be given to you alone, then after that you may ˹repent and˺ become righteous people!” [Sūrah Yūsuf: 9] Are you really going to fall for this? What if you go back, fall ill and die? What if you take your kids back and they rebel against you? Who is to blame if that happens? What if you yourself go astray? _ ➢ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗲𝘀 & 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝗷𝗿𝗮𝗵: 1⃣- Allāh favoured some of His Prophets and Messengers with Hijrah, such as Ibrāḥim, Yūnus, Mūsā, and our Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ. Thus the Muhājir will be following in the footsteps of these great Prophets. 2⃣- Generally speaking, the Muhājirūn (the Companions who made Hijrah) were superior in degree to those who did not did not perform Hijrah (the Anṣār). 3⃣- The Prophet ﷺ loved the Anṣār so much so that he desired to be from them, but nothing prevented him from that other than the virtue of Hijrah: He ﷺ said: ((لَوْلاَ الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ)) “If it wasn't for Hijrah, I would have been one of the Anṣār.” Al-Qurṭubi explained: «معناه لتسمَّيتُ باسمكم، وانتسبتُ إليكم كما كانوا ينتسبون بالحلف، لكن خصوصية الهجرة وتربيتها، سبقتْ فمنعتْ من ذلك، وهي أعلى وأشرف، فلا تتبدَّلُ بغيرها» “Meaning: I would have been named myself after you and ascribed myself to you, as they would do by way of affiliations of alliance, however, the specificity of Hijrah and its refinement preceded and prevented that, and it (Hijrah) is superior and more honorable, so it cannot be replaced by anything.” 4⃣- The Muhājir secures his reward with Allāh even if he does not reach his intended destination:
