Ayat
58. Those who emigrated in the Cause of Allah and after
that were killed or died, surely, Allah will provide a good provision for them.
And verily, it is Allah Who indeed is the Best of those who make provision.
Ayat 59. Truly, He will make them enter an entrance
with which they shall be well-pleased, and verily, Allah indeed is All-Knowing,
Most Forbearing.
[Tafseer]
Ayat 58. Those who leave their homes
in the cause of Allah, and are then slain or die,- On them will Allah bestow
verily a goodly Provision: Truly Allah is He Who bestows the best
provision. Rizq: sustenance,
provision. I have preferred the latter word here, because after death we can
only think of Rizq in a large
metaphorical sense, i.e., all the
provision necessary to equip the person for a full and happy Future Life, and
also, I think, a provision for his dependants and near and dear ones in this
life. Ayat 59. Verily He will admit them to a place with which they shall
be well pleased: for Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing. Martyrdom is the
sacrifice of life in the service of Allah. Its reward is therefore even greater
than that of an ordinarily good life. The martyr's sins are forgiven by the very
act of martyrdom, which implies service and self-surrender in the highest sense
of the word. Allah knows all his past life but will forbear from calling him to
account for things that should strictly come into his
account.
Hazrat Aishah (May
Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "There is no emigration after the conquest (of Makkah) but
only Jihad [(striving and fighting in the cause of Allah) will continue] and
good intention.* So if you are summoned to fight, go forth.''
[Muslim Book 20, Chapter 20, Hadith #
4599].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Hajj Ayat ."Those who emigrated in the
Cause of Allah and after that were killed or died, surely, Allah will provide a
good provision for them".When a country
or a region is regarded as Dar-ul-Islam (land of Islam), it is not necessary to
migrate from it to some other place. It is, however, obligatory to emigrate from
such regions which are Dar-ul-Kufr (land of infidels) and where it is difficult
to adhere to Islamic injunctions. It is also evident from this Hadith that when
it is not necessary to migrate from one Islamic country to another then it is
also not permitted by the Shari`ah to leave an Islamic country to settle
permanently in Dar-ul-Kufr only for the reason that the latter has plenty of
wealth and social welfare. Unfortunately, Muslims today are afflicted with this
disease. The transfer of their capital and talent to Dar-ul-Kufr is indeed very
disturbing because on one side these two factors are lending support to the
economy of Bilad-ul-Kufr (countries of infidels) and on the other, obscenity and
indecency that are common in such countries, are becoming increasingly common
among the Muslims too.
Another highly important reason for the prohibition of
migration of Muslims to Dar-ul-Kufr is that it goes against the spirit as well
as their readiness for Jihad fi sabilillah (striving and fighting in the way of
Allah). This spirit and readiness must be kept always alive so that the Muslims
may respond at once to the call of Jihad whenever the need for it arises
anywhere.
