According to classical Islamic scholarship, 'fleeing evil towards Allah' is the essence of Hijrah (migration) for His cause, a concept powerfully articulated in Quran 4:100. This act involves leaving a land of oppression or sin for a place where one can freely practice their faith. Tafsir scholars like Ibn Kathir explain this verse promises that anyone who undertakes this journey will find 'many locations and abundance' on earth. More profoundly, the verse guarantees a full reward from Allah for anyone who intends to migrate for His sake but is overtaken by death, cementing the niyyah (intention) as a cornerstone of the act. Hijrah is also understood in a broader spiritual sense: a continuous, internal migration from disobedience to obedience and from heedlessness to remembrance of Allah.
