The Shaykh : Brother, has it become clear to you that migration is obligatory for these oppressed, subjugated, and humiliated people, or is it not obligatory? You have known the text and its interpretation, both the jurisprudential interpretation and the realistic interpretation, that if these weak people do not migrate, the outcome will be that they will be stripped of their religion and their beliefs, even if it takes a long time. Therefore, we strongly condemn the Muslims who, first of all, do not call themselves migrants to America, and this is a naming that is completely contrary to the Shari'ah naming. And we know that among those who claimed to have migrated to America, things have happened... and you have known this in Andalusia and elsewhere. Allah the Exalted said:
Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves - [the angels] will say, "In what [condition] were you?" They will say, "We were oppressed in the land." The angels will say, "Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?" For those, their refuge is Hell - and evil it is as a destination. إن الذين توفاهم الملائكة ظالمي أنفسهم قالوا فيم كنتم قالوا كنا مستضعفين في الأرض قالوا ألم تكن أرض الله واسعة فتهاجروا فيها فأولائك مأواهم جهنم و ساءت مصيرا
[An-Nisa 4:97]
. This is the text of the Noble Qur'an. Do you want to build upon this text something other than what you have heard?

The questioner : If the Shaykh takes over, he asks the Shaykh to take over Abu Sayyid.
