In the Name of Allah, Most
Gracious, Most Merciful
Why Immigrants (Muhajirs)

Before discussing this critical issues let us understand our mistakes
in the light of the Quraan and Sunnah of Rasool Allah
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) and how we can implement at present time and always
remember that our life is a test.
Migrations are mainly due to two main reasons, Natural or Manmade. Here
I would like to discuss more about possible Solution to Natural or
Manmade Disasters due to which people need migrations. Since the start
of the humanity people have conflicts and now all over the world and
which are for our tests. Allah gave us the Quraan (True Book of
Guidance) to resolve it in a true brotherhood way. If one does not
understand then he/she must ask those scholars who have true knowledge
in that particular field. One of the signs for them will be that they
don’t ask any payments for their preaching on Deen of Allah
according to the Quraan and they follow the commandments of Allah (Ref:
Al_Quraan_036:021).
Although there are issues all over the world regarding immigrants
(Muhajirs) including in almost all Muslim countries but it hurts most
when Muslims victimize Muslims including in the Middle East where their
spoken languages are Arabic and you will sure find many such Muslims
still living in camps for generations and waiting for some angles to
come down and help them. One of the reasons is that these Muslims have
left behind the message of the Quraan and Teaching of Rasool Allah
(Peace-Be-Upon_him).
Let us learn from the practical example of Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him), when Muslims of Makkah had to migrate to Madinah,
He asked Muslims of Madinah, who can build true brotherhood and accept
these immigrants as their brothers. All 100% Muslims of Madinah stood
up and shared whatever Allah has provided them, and there were no more
Immigrants (Muhajirs) left behind and all became Locals (Ansaars)
within a week of time. Then Allah’s Mercy came on both of them
and Allah blessed them and increased them by all means. In this there
is a Great lesson of humanity and brotherhood.
Whenever there is similar situation comes around same request of Rasool
Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) comes again for our test, do Locals (Ansaars)
have stand up and adopted the immigrants as their brothers, if not
perhaps Allah’s Mercy may not come to ease their burden. Check
current scenario in all Muslims countries, they are facing huge
problems around them since they are not helping each other by rejecting
the message of the Quraan and Practical Teaching of Rasool Allah
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him). Allah’s laws never changes, and people need
to change according to the Quraan to get Mercy from Allah. Intersect
Marriages are one of the key to come closer and forgive each other. Do
whatever you can do to build Muslim Brotherhood.
In Public Sectors, Defense, Politics and many other areas balanced
representation must be adopted. In the West in Europe and North America
are widely open to immigrants, e.g. easy to get marriages with them,
easy to join their Public Sectors, Politics, Defense Sectors etc. even
one keeping his dual nationalities. In Practical Terms, West are more
adopting the messages of the Quraan and Teaching of Rasool Allah
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) than many Muslim Countries except few cases like
Alcohols/Drugs, Same Sex Marriages, Living without Marriages etc. In
many areas West are adopting Zero Tolerance with any kind of
discrimination of age, ethnicity, gender/sex, national origin, sexual
orientation, religion, skin color, or other characteristics.
Question:
Why still they call themselves as Immigrants (Muhajirs)?
Answer:
Locals (Ansaars) still have not opened their hearts yet like people of
Madina did at the time of
Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) and accepted all 100% Immigrants
(Muhajirs) as their brothers, so there were no more leftover Immigrants
(Muhajirs).
People Need to Change
Themselves According to the Quraan and Teaching of Rasool Allah
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) but NOT Reverse.
Global Media Must Play
and Active Role on Promoting Global Brotherhood.
Read Al-Quraan, the Miracle of
Miracles and free from contradictions and errors
