The migration of The Prophet Mohammed from Mecca to Medina left us many beneficial lessons.
“The Prophet migrated to Mecca in order to rally support and protection for his call to Islam. So, as soon as he succeeded and Islam started to spread, migration was no more an obligation,” says Friday’s sermon.
Nowadays, one who wants to win the virtues of migration should do so by performing worships, as a hadith by Prophet Mohammed says: “Worshipping during the period of widespread turmoil is like emigration towards me.”
In today’s terms, the best migration is “giving up all what incurs Allah’s wrath,” says the sermon.
It was said that a man once asked the Prophet: “O Messenger of Allah, which emigration (Hijrah) is best?” The Prophet said: “To leave what your Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, dislikes.”
The Prophet’s migration demonstrates Islam’s positive effect through “its noble values and pious principles”.
The Prophet has always adopted tenderness and wisdom while calling on to people to obey Allah.
The sermon points out “with planning, optimism and good work, one can accomplish great achievements, surmount difficulties.”
“The Prophet [pbuh] gave us an example when he left his home despite of all dangers, for he put his unconditional trust in his Lord and was assured that He would grant him victory.”
