Asking the Traveller "Pray for Us"
'Umar ibn al-Khattab reports, "I sought permission of the Prophet, peace be upon him, to perform 'umrah. He gave me
permission and said, 'My brother, do not forget me in your prayers' ." 'Umar reported further, "This was a word more pleasing
to me than the entire wealth of the world." (Reported by Abu Daw'ud and Tirmidhi, who holds it to be a sound hadith)
PERSECUTION:
16:110 - But verily thy Lord to those who leave their homes after trials and persecutions and who
thereafter strive and fight for the faith and patiently persevere thy Lord after all this is Oft-
Forgiving Most Merciful. 2147
2147 I take this verse to refer to such men as were originally with the Pagans but afterwards joined Islam, suffered
hardships and exile, and fought and struggled in the Cause, with patience and constance. Their past would be blotted
out and forgiven. Men like Khalid ibn Walid were numbered with the foremost heroes of Islam. In that case this verse
would be a Madinah verse, though the Sura as a whole is Makkan. Perhaps it would be better to read, with some
Commentators, fatanu in the active voice rather than futinu in the passive voice, and translate "after inflicting trials and
persecutions (on Muslim)." Notice the parallelism in construction between this verse and verse 119 below. (16.110)
85:10 - Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers men and women and do not turn in repentance will have
the Penalty of Hell: they will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire. 6058 6058 The "Chastisement of the Burning
Fire" has been mentioned here in addition to the "Penalty of Hell". This assumes a special significance in the
background of the cruel burning of the Faithful by the "makers of the pit". These criminals would be duly retributed by
being subjected to a similar kind of suffering that they had caused their innocent victims. (85.10)

Islamic Terms Dictionary
Hijrah
means migration. The Hijrah refers to the Prophet's migration from Mecca to Madinah. This journey took place in the twelfth
year of his mission (622 CE). This is the beginning of the Muslim calendar. The word hijrah means to leave a place to seek
sancturary or freedom from persecution or freedom of religion or any other purpose. Hijrah can also mean to leave a bad
way of life for a good or more righteous way.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
6:164 - Say: "Shall I seek for (my) Cherisher other than Allah when He is the Cherisher of all things
(that exist)?" Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens
can bear the burden of another. Your goal in the end is toward Allah: He will tell you the truth
of the things wherein ye disputed. 987
987 The doctrine of personal responsiblility again. We are fully responsible for our acts ourselves: we cannot transfer the
consequences to someone else. Nor can anyone vicariously atone for our sins. If people have honest doubts or
differences about important questions of religion, they should not start futile disputes. All will be clear in the end. Our
duty here is to maintain unity and discipline, and do the duty that comes to us. (6.164)
10:30 - There will every soul prove (the fruits of) the deeds it sent before: they will be brought back
to Allah their rightful Lord and their invented falsehoods will leave them in the lurch. 14201421
1420 Cf. ii. 95, where the verb used is qaddama. The verb aslafa, used here, is nearly synonymous. (10.30)
1421 Instead of their false ideas helping them, they will desert them and leave them in the lurch. Cf. vi. 24. (10.30)
