Translation of Verse 97-100

97. When the angels seize the souls of those who have wronged themselves 216 -scolding them, "What do you think you were doing?" they will reply, "We were oppressed in the land." The angels will respond, "Was Allah's earth not spacious enough for you to emigrate?" It is they who will have Hell as their home-what an evil destination!

98. Except helpless men, women, and children who cannot afford a way out-

99. it is right to hope that Allah will pardon them. For Allah is Ever-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.

100. Whoever emigrates in the cause of Allah will find many safe havens and bountiful resources throughout the earth. Those who leave their homes and die while emigrating to Allah and His Messenger-their reward has already been secured with Allah. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.


Commentary

216. This verse refers to some of those who had accepted Islam secretly in Mecca but refused to emigrate to Medina along with the rest of the believers. Some of them were killed in the Battle of Badr when they were rallied by the Meccans to fight against the Muslims. The verse also applies to any Muslim who accepts abuse and refuses to move to another place where they can live with dignity and practice their faith freely.
