الحمد لله رب العالمين وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وأصحابه ومن اهتدى بهديه إلى يوم الدين أما بعد

 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

It’s been nearly a year since my family and I have made Hijrah, Maa Shaa Allaah Laa Quwwata illaa Billaah. I often find myself at a loss for words when asked to describe life here in the Kingdom. I still marvel at my surroundings wondering what in the world have I done to deserve such a blessing. Allaahu Aa’lam, Allaah gives to whom He wills. 

From the time the thought of making Hijrah entered my mind and settled upon my heart, up until the day it actually happened, I’d say it took nearly 8 years to become a reality. There’s a lot that I want to say but I can’t express myself right now.

If you’d like to make Hijrah check out Hijrah Net and Muhaajir E-Group. You can ask questions about your country of interest. Please research the ins and outs of Hijrah and get as much info as possible about employers and make lots of du’aa.  May Allaah facilitate an easy way out for you.

Rulings Pertaining to Hijrah

Shaykh Sulaymaan ar-Ruhaylee

http://www.almizaanpubs.com/article_6.html

Explaining the hadeeth “And hijrah erases (the sins committed) before it,” the Shaykh says: Hijrah is to migrate from the land of shirk to the land of Islaam and its rulings vary.

[THE OBLIGATORY HIJRAH]

If a person residing in the land of kufr doesn’t have the ability to practice his religion and has the ability to migrate to Muslim countries (then hijrah is obligatory upon him). Hence, there are two stipulations:
 

(1) He’s unable to practice his religion in the land of kufr - so he’s not able to pray, fast, or carry out the obligations of his religion;

(2) He has the ability to migrate to the land of the Muslims. Ability (to migrate) may pertain to the individual or it may relate to an external matter. It may pertain to the individual in the sense that he’s physically capable of making the migration. It could also relate to an external matter in the sense that he finds an Islaamic country to seek refuge in.

If these two conditions are present, hijrah is obligatory upon him and he must migrate to the land of the Muslims. However, if he doesn’t have the ability to practice his religion but is also incapable of migrating, he is then lawfully pardoned and it is upon him to fear Allaah to the best of his ability.

[THE DESIRABLE HIJRAH]

If one has the ability to practice his religion in the land of the disbelievers, and he’s capable of making hijrah then it is desirable (mustahaab) for him to do so even though it is not obligatory.

[WHEN IS IT RECOMMENDED NOT TO MAKE HIJRAH?]

If one has the ability to practice his religion in the land of the disbelievers, and is capable of making hijrah, however his presence in those lands is beneficial to the Muslims by way of teaching them beneficial knowledge and teaching them the Sunnah then it is mustahaab for him to stay and not to make hijrah.
 

Thus hijrah is a great, noble action which erases [the sins] that preceded it.
