Emigrating to My Lord
۞فَـَٔامَنَ لَهُۥ لُوطࣱۘ وَقَالَ إِنِّي مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّيٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٢٦
And Lot believed him, and said: Lo! I am a fugitive unto my Lord. Lo! He, only He, is the Mighty, the Wise.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And Lot believed him. And he said: “I will emigrate to my Lord.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, these words belong to Abraham; emigrating to one’s Lord is leaving one’s home for Allah.
Reflect
Leave a bad habit for Allah’s sake.
