God will Pardon the Feeble/Unable to Migrate

 

Emigration for the oppressed people (L-586)

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ قَالُوا۟ فِيمَ كُنتُمْ قَالُوا۟ كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قَالُوٓا۟ أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ ٱللَّهِ  وَٰسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوا۟ فِيهَافَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَسَآءَتْ مَصِيرًا 97.  

إِلَّا ٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْوِلْدَٰنِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًا98. 

فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا.  99

97.  ‘Innal-laziina  ta-waffaa-hu-mul-malaaa-‘ikatu  zaalimiii  ‘anfu-sihim  qaaluu  fiimaa  kuntum.  Qaaluu  kunnaa  mustaz-‘afiina  fil-‘arz.  Qaaluu  ‘alam  takun  ‘arzUllaahi  waasi-‘atan  fatu-haajiruu  fiihaa.  Fa-‘ulaaa-‘ika  ma’-waahum  Jahannam.  Wa  saaa-‘at  masiiraa. 

98.  ‘Illal-mustaz-‘afiina  mi-nar-rijaali  wan-nisaaa-‘i  wal-wildaani  laa  yastatii-‘uuna  hii-latanw-wa  laa  yahtaduuna  sabiilaa.

99.  Fa-‘ulaaa-‘ika  ‘asAllaahu    ‘any-ya’-fuwa  ‘anhum.  Wa  kaanAllaahu  ‘afuwwan-  Gafuuraa.                            

97. While the angels are removing the souls of those who have wronged themselves, they will say, “What was the matter with you?” They will say, “We were oppressed in the land.” They will say, “Was God’s earth not vast enough for you to emigrate in it?” These—their refuge is Hell. What a wretched retreat!

98. Except for the weak among men, and women, and children who have no means to act, and no means to find a way out.

99. These— God may well pardon them. God is Pardoning and Forgiving.


It is the abstract of above mentioned verses that after embracing Islam and having belief in Holy Qur’an as a Guide, dwelling calmly does not have any sense. Those persons have been related in these verses with evil-doers, that is to say; tyrants for themselves, who keep belief in their hearts, but do not act upon the orders of Holy Qur’an fairly. They have been spoiling themselves. The Angels (Peace be upon them) will ask such people at the time of their death, “While truth of Holy Qur’an was manifested upon you, then why are you dying empty-handed today”? Why do you not have good deeds with you? Then their eyes will be opened. They will not be able to reply properly. Lastly they will say, “While we were suppressed by others, then what could we do? We did not have power to oppose those people. We were weak, old and helpless”. Then the Angels (Peace be upon them) will say, “What a strange thing? The earth created by God was lying so much spacious. You would have left that land of tyrant people and immigrated to any place of peace. There, you could get opportunity to act upon the religious teachings without hindrance. At this stage, they would be unable to reply because it was their own fault. It has been commanded here that abode of such people is the Hell, which is the worst place for living. However, ill men, women and children, who neither can think about any plan, nor they know about any path and nor they are able to work, their excuse can be accepted and hopefully God will forgive them.
