him from the city that committed disgusting acts. They
were evil people who were deviators. We admitted him in-
to Our mercy. He was one of the righteous. (Surat al-
Anbiya', 71-75)
Hijra is a religious observation that only devout believers
can perform. People who live far removed from religion can

never agree to suddenly leave behind everything they own and
emigrate to an unknown destination. Their homes, goods, and
property are most important to them. Yet wherever believers
may go, since they know that Allah will meet all of their needs,
they have no hesitation about leaving everything behind and
emigrating for Allah's good pleasure. The Prophet Abraham
(pbuh) and the Prophet Lot (pbuh) demonstrated their submis-

sion to Allah in the finest possible manner. They renounced
their material possessions and homelands to gain His good
pleasure. In return, our Lord settled them in a good land and
endowed them with the infinite blessings of Paradise in the
Hereafter.
Believers, who trust in Allah and know that He will meet
all of their needs at every moment, must follow the Prophets'
model of complete submission to Allah. That is because people
who are attached to the world and are concerned about the fu-

ture are far removed from religion's moral values. Our Lord
gives believers the glad tidings that as a reward for not in-
dulging in material interests, believers will receive matchless
blessings in both worlds.
In addition, Allah informs us of the prophets' vast proper-
ty as a blessing from Him. The Prophet David (pbuh) had a
great deal of property, and the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) pos-

sessed so much power and wealth that nobody could match
them. Allah reveals that He gave the Prophet Abraham (pbuh)
