Are the conditions in Muslim countries the same as the conditions in Palestine? (Discussion)

The student : Shaykh, if you would allow me, I mean, the goal of migration is to preserve the religion; is that not so?

The Shaykh : That is correct.
The student : Okay, now, I mean, the conditions in our Islamic lands, in our Arab lands.

The Shaykh : My brother, the answer has already been given. May Allah reward you.
The student : Excuse me, Shaykh, but I mean, it is the same conditions that are inside Palestine.

The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, may Allah guide you, may Allah forgive you. And you are not the first to be deceived by the moon. Now, I am asking you a question: Are the conditions in all Islamic countries, leaving Palestine aside, equal?

The questioner : No, they are different.

The Shaykh : Subhan Allah. The Islamic countries differ, and the Islamic countries do not differ from the Palestinian country. How can you say that?
The student : My intention, Shaykh, is that the difference is not great, and then it is not possible.

The Shaykh : Look, now, how did you patch up your words? You say "my intention," and why should not your wording match your intention?
The student : It is not a big difference, I mean... Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes, after I ask you a question and you answer it.
The student : Understood.

The Shaykh : Did he not use bad wording when he said that there is no difference between the Islamic countries and Palestine?
The student : Yes... the disbelievers.

The Shaykh : Okay, did he not express it better when he said, "I mean that there is not that great difference"? Was it not better?
The student : Better than that, yes.

The Shaykh : Why do you not answer?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : It appears you are afraid of... heh heh. There is no power or might except... My brother, I have already answered. When I told you, "Allow me, do not interrupt me in my speech," I was forced to do so because you are going around the word. I have already noted that you said it, because I claim that I live with the Ummah, with its pains and sorrows, and so on. So I say, as I answered you last time, there is a difference between here and Syria, and between us and Syria is only two hundred kilometers, and I am Syrian. There is a difference between Syria now and Syria when I was there. These differences are now erased by emotional language, and this is the very error. So I say now: whoever is able to migrate from Syria to Jordan, it is obligatory for him. What do you think? It is obligatory for him. Why? Because Jordan lives under the Rightly Guided Caliphate? No. But, my dear, you have repeated this word more than once, "my dear." Some evil is less than some. Here, the Islamic situation is very, very clear. If you went to Syria, you would find the women in jilbabs uncovered, and if you returned to Jordan, you would find the uncovered women in jilbabs. It is not permissible for a Muslim to equate all these disparities between two neighboring countries that share one name, the land of Sham. What about the difference between here, between Saudi Arabia, between the United Arab Emirates, and the United Arab Emirates itself, which differs from country to country? Is that correct or not? So why do you close your eyes to these differences and say a vague word like "there is no difference"? What is the benefit? One migrates from Palestine to another Islamic country? Subhan Allah, there is no difference? Every day we hear of killing, beating, revolution, detention, and imprisonment. And what of the four hundred people who were exiled, driven from their homes? They were not allowed to enter Islamic lands, nor to return to their country, Palestine. There are many, many differences. So my hope for the young Muslim is that he does not look at the issues occurring today with one eye, but opens both eyes and looks with them, connecting them to his heart, with a scientific gaze. I am here now, living in peace and tranquility, writing, researching, and speaking to some extent with complete freedom. But if I were in Syria, I could not do that. Knowing that I did not migrate from Syria to here after the revolution that took place there. No, I was looking from afar. And this is, perhaps after Allah, a favor from my father (may Allah have mercy on him), who migrated us from Albania to Syria, to Damascus, before the atheistic rule that the king who imposed himself on the Albanian people, known as Ahmed Zog, had spread. Ahmed Zog began to apply the system of Ataturk, so my father (may Allah have mercy on him) looked to the distance and migrated.
