Arabic text

۞ وَمَن يُهَاجِرْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ يَجِدْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُرَٰغَمًا كَثِيرًا وَسَعَةً ۚ وَمَن يَخْرُجْ مِنۢ بَيْتِهِۦ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكْهُ ٱلْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُۥ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

Translation

He who makes Hijrah in Allaah's way (for Allaah's pleasure) shall find on earth many places to emigrate to and abundance (of food and other means). Whoever leaves his home to make Hijrah towards (a place where he can fulfil the commands of Allaah and His Rasool and then death finds him (en route for death comes at its appointed time), without doubt his reward is assured (set aside) by Allaah. Allaah is Most Forgiving (consoling), Most Merciful.
