Hijrat(Migration) in Islam

Migration in Islam

Many Prophets did the same thing in their mission; Migration. They did it when the majority of people rejected their message. They will then migrate with the minority either to avoid an doom when approximately 98% people reject their or when the people are enough to make a society, the Prophets will migrate and do Jihad against them. 

We can take the example of Prophet Idrees and Prophet Muhammad. Prophet Idrees migrated from Babylon to Egypt(Memphis). Many people reject his message so he settled in Egypt with few of his followers. Then he did Jihad against the enemies and almost overcome them. It is said that Prophet Idrees was the first one to raise arms against non believers. 

Prophet Muhammad also migrated to Madina and did Jihad against the disbelievers when they proved harmful for Muslim community. 

Many Prophets are mentioned to migrated when a doom is coming disbelievers, like Prophet Lut, Prophet Hud, Prophet Salih, Prophet Shuaib. 

So we learn that when a certain people are persecuted in a place where non Muslims live, they should migrated from there and come to a Muslim majority place.
