[29].Surah Al-Ankabut [The Spider]: Ayat 26

২৬. অতঃপর তার প্রতি বিশ্বাস স্থাপন করলেন লূত। ইব্রাহীম বললেন, আমি আমার পালনকর্তার উদ্দেশে দেশত্যাগ করছি। নিশ্চয় তিনি পরাক্রমশালী, প্রজ্ঞাময়।

Ayat 26. So Lout PBUH (Lot) believed in him [Ibrahim’s PBUH (Abraham) Message of Islamic Monotheism]. He [Ibrahim PBUH (Abraham)] said: "I will emigrate for the sake of my Lord. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." 

Tafseer of Surah Al-Ankabut (The Spider) Ayat 26. But Hazrat Lut PBUH had faith in Him: He said: "I will leave home for the sake of my Lord: for He is Exalted in Might, and Wise." Hazrat Lut PBUH was a nephew of Hazrat Abraham PBUH. He adhered to Abraham's PBUH teaching and faith and accepted voluntary exile with him, for Abraham left the home of his father’s in Chaldea arid migrated to Syria and Palestine , where Allah gave him increase and prosperity, and a numerous family, who upheld the flag of Unity and the Light of Allah.

Hazrat 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "The deeds are considered by the intentions, and a person will get the reward according to his intention. So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Messenger, his emigration will be for Allah and His Messenger; and whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration would be for what he emigrated for". 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al- Ankabut Ayat 26. “will emigrate for the sake of my Lord” According to some Ahadith, the reason for this Hadith is that a person sent a proposal of marriage to a woman named Umm Qais, which she turned down saying that he should have to emigrate to Al-Madinah for it. Accordingly, he did it for this specific purpose, and the two were married there. On account of this event, the man came to be known among the Companions as Muhajir Umm Qais. On the basis of this Hadith, 'Ulama' are of the unanimous opinion that the real basis of one's actions is Niyyah (intention) and everyone will be requited according to his Niyyah. It is true that Niyyah is founded in one's heart, that is to say, one has first to make up one's mind for what he intends to do and he should not express it verbally. In fact, the latter is a Bid'ah (innovation in religion) because no proof of it is found in Shariah. The point which becomes evident from this Hadith is that Ikhlas (sincerity) is a must for every action. In other words, in every righteous deed, one should seek only the Pleasure of Allah; otherwise, it will not be accepted by Allah.
