Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: The migration of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was from Babylon to Sham, so what was his intention (peace be upon him) when he said:[Al-'Ankabut 29:26]?
Answer:
That is, to Sham. He emigrated to his Lord from the land of evil, from the land of the disbelievers, to the blessed land of Sham, over which Allah has bestowed blessings. So he emigrated to Sham and to the Hijaz, and he divided his descendants into two groups, and this was by the command of Allah, without doubt. Yes.
