Prescribe good for us in this world and the hereafter. We have
truly turned to You.' He said, 'As for My punishment, I strike with
it anyone I will. My mercy extends to all things but I will prescribe
it for those who guard against evil and give alms, and those who
believe in Our Signs: (Qur'an, 7:156)
Perform prayer and give alms. Any good you send ahead for
yourselves, you will find with Allah. Certainly Allah sees what
you do. (Qur'an, 2:110)

THEY MOVE AS A GROUP, IF NECESSARY
Those who believe and have migrated and strived with their
wealth and themselves in the Way of Allah, and those who have
given refuge and help, they are the friends and protectors of one
another. But as for those who believe but have not migrated, you
are not in any way responsible for their protection until they
migrate. But if they ask you for help in respect of the religion, it
is your duty to help them, except against people you have a treaty
with. Allah sees what you do. (Qur'an, 8:72)
The angels ask those they take while they are wronging
themselves, 'What were your circumstances?' They reply, 'We were
oppressed on earth.' They say, 'Was Allah's earth not wide enough
for you to have migrated to elsewhere in it?' The shelter of such
people will be Hell. What an evil destination! (Qur'an, 4:97)
Those who migrate in the Way of Allah will find many places of
refuge on the earth and ample sustenance. If anyone leaves his
home, migrating to Allah and His Messenger, and death catches
up with him, it is Allah Who will reward him. Allah is Ever-
Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Qur'an, 4:100)
Those who migrate in the Way of Allah and then are killed or die,
Allah will provide for them handsomely. Truly Allah is the best
Provider. He will admit them by an entrance which is pleasing to
them. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Forbearing. (Qur'an, 22:58-59)
