Tahjīr/Escapism-Addiction amongst Muslims

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Always speak Truth, even if it’s bitter (even if it rubs People the Wrong-Way).”.
(ibn-Hibbān&al-Bayhaqī)

I remember, when I was Young, I often heard Fellow-Muslims actively engaging in “Hijrah-Convos”. It was these Romanticized-Depictions of being in Muslim-Countries, nostslgically envisioning that Life in Those-Places are just like how Life was in the 7th-Century, C.E. I often would be suggested, told, etc. to “Go Overseas”, “Stop wasting your Time here.”, “Why are you still living in the Land of the Kuffār (Disbelievers/Non-Muslims).”, “Why’re you living here?!!!”, etc. Meanwhile, ironically, none of this Sucka-Shit was ever articulated to Muslims from Muslim-Countries whom relocated from the Same Muslim-Countries they tell Others to flock to.

1-Convo I specifically had with Several Fellow-Muslims…I deliberately asked them about a Particular Muslim-Country they romanticized dwelling in: “Is it a Good-Place to live?”. Of course, there’s 1-Jackass (whom I’m not even cool with any longer) responded: “It’s a Muslim-Country.”. I in turn replied: “Nigga…I ain’t ask you that…I asked you was it a Good-Place to live!!!.”. Of course, That-Person had no Intelligent-Reply to my Inquiry. It was literally at that Moment-In-Time via al-Basīrah/Vision (via Foresight), that I then realized “Hijrah-Talk” was & will always be Complete-Bullshit.

The Concept/Culture of “Making Hijrah/Escape” has become a very Religio-Socialized/Politicized Phenomenon amongst Muslims, via Various-Regions of the Muslim-World. From NYC to Cairo…from Philly to Baghdād…from Pasadena to al-Madīnah…from Miami to Dubay…from Moscow to Conakry…from Tokyo to Khartūm…etc. And, because of the Ferver to “escape” from the Boots-On-The-Ground Realities which one refuses to contribute to correcting: of course it’s Super-Convenient for Certain-Persons to Dick-Ride the “Hijrah/Kalām/Rhetoric”. One of the Asbāb/Reasons how/why this has been the Case: it’s because Muslims via Non-Muslim Countries aren’t considered Members of the Muslim-World. Which ironically is pathologically-hypocritical. Literally, anywhere Muslims exist via Earth is the Muslim-World by default/definition. Also, there’s the Pathological-Nostalgia of the “Islāmic-World” Mythos/Pseudo-Narrative. There’s no Islāmic-World without al-Khilāfah/Islāmic-Governance. And, the Khilāfah has existed since 1922, C.E.

The Irony, of course, being Several-Things:

1. Relocating “Down-The-Block” from where one used to live is a Fitnah/Trial & imposes a Starting-Over Mindset. So, simply imagine compounding this with relocating to Different-Neighborhood, Different-Boro/Borough, Different-Provence/State, Different-Country, Different-Continent, Different-Hemisphere, etc.

2. Most-Muslims don’t even know why they actually have the Niyyah/Motive to make “Hijrah”…it’s exclusively something which they’ve allowed to be indoctrinated with. They’re just Imma`(Monkey-See-Monkey-Do Ass Niggas)…as Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Don’t be an Imma`ah/Dick-Rider.”.
(at-Tirmidhī)

3. Most-Muslims literally know very little (if anything) about the Nation-States they desire to flock to relocating. They’re simply addicted to the Fallacy of “Status”, which comes with having the Reputation of “Making Hijrah”.

4. Most-Muslims aren’t prepared for starting their Lives over in Countries they must learn how to survive/thrive in, while probably having Little2Zero-Knowledge of the Socio-Political Dynamics, Languages, Cultures, etc. of where they aim to make their New-Lives at.

5. Most-Muslims aren’t prepared to forfeit the Comfortable-Lifestyles (relative to where they’re from) they’re used to-Most Muslim-Countries Most-Muslims flock to are 3rd-World Standard: no EBT, no SNAP, no Section-8, no Welfare, etc. Via most of those Nations: if you don’t come from Money and/or aren’t capable/willing to work hard you will starve.

Then, there’s the “Student-Of-Knowledge” Song&Dance:

Most-Muslims whom pretend that they’re “Knowledge-Seekers” via Muslim-Countries end-up not actually learning that much “Islāmic-Knowledge”, if any at all. Moreover, most of them don’t even have the Monetary-Resources to even be a “Knowledge-Seeker”. The Irony is that Countless-Persons whom were True Knowledge-Seekers amongst as-Salaf/the Ancestors (as-Sahābah/the Companions & Generations-1&2 of at-Tāb`īn/the Followers): one of the Things which many of them had in common…they had Monies, they were Ballers, etc. Now, via the Modern-World: Lots of Wannabe Knowledge-Seekers are “Broke-As-A-Joke” & can barely afford the Air they breathe.

As per the Character/Behavior of People via Muslim-Countries:

Most-Muslims whom “make Hijrah” pontificate/claim that they flock to Muslim-Countries to attain a “More-Islāmic Life”. News-Flash…Muslim-Countries are just as Morally-Bankrupt as Most Non-Muslim Countries. Human-History has proven this. And, I’ve been to Muslim-Countries…I wasn’t at all impressed.

As a Mathl/Example:

Via Makkah, the Home of al-Ka`bah/the Cube…the 1st-Masjid/Mosque in Human-History, in Modern-Day KSA, etc.-Saudi Arabia is the Only-Place on This-Planet, that I’ve ever been to, where I was personally approached by Male&Female-Prostitutes. (Keep in Mind) I grew-up in the U.S. via New York City my Whole-Life & have traveled (quite literally) Coast2Coast across the United States…I’ve traveled to 3-Continents…etc. The Vast-Majority of Muslim-Countries contain Citizenry whom look at those whom “make Hijrah” from Non-Muslim Countries to Muslim-Countries as Losers. Many/Most-Persons from Most Certain-Countries will literally ask you: “What’re you doing here?!!!”, “Why did you come here?!!!”, “How/why are you from Such&Such-Country, but you want to be here?!!!”, etc. Honestly…you can’t even blame/fault any Fellow-Muslim whom asks these Types/Kinds of Questions…it’s because Muslim-Countries largely have utterly failed their Citizenries. And, then there’s the Outright-`Asabiyyah/Xenpphobia one faces, literally because they’re Outsiders to Muslim-Countries, in spite of being just as Muslim as any other Muslims from Muslim-Countries. There’s actually Fellow-Muslims who’ve audaciously/arrogantly questioned whether or not I’m Muslim while I was in Muslim-Countries. Of course, me being me…I gave them my Ass to kiss.

So, based on These-Facts: you Mothafuckas actually expect me to want to uproot my Life, to dwell amongst Those-Types/Kinds of Degenerates…are you Shittin me?!!! Y’all Buggin da

Some Necessary Reality-Checks:

1. There’s no Islāmic-Mandate to relocate/escape to any Country which is worse, just as bad, etc. as the Countries Persons already dwell in.

2. As per al-Hijrah/Escape: the 1st-Hijrah was from the City-State of Makkah to Abyssinia/Ancient-Ethiopia…a Non-Islāmic/Non-Muslim Nation-State.

3. Via the Conquest-Of-Makkah, Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “There’s no more Hijrah/Escape, there’s only Jihād/Resistance. So, whomever is conscripted/drafted then they must comply.”.
(al-Bukhārī)

4. Most-Muslims whom play the Hijrah-Game are Pussies: they want to escape from the Qawwāmāt (Islāmic-Responsibilities) they’ve to their Societies/Countries-Of-Origin & to their Peoples from which they originated from. Allah states: “Those whom believe pay attention: Save yourselves & your Peoples from Fire.”…
…Muhammad stated: “Whomever remains in a Land/Place & tolerates patiently the Evil of its People there, then they’ll receive a Greater-Reward from Allah as opposed to those whom escape from it.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.66, V.6; al-Bukhārī; at-Tirmidhī; ibn-Mājah; Ahmad)
