Migration for Allah's sake

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
I am trying to share an ayah below which inspired me today.
I am trying to share my reflection on it. If it is beneficial then all praise to Allah. If not I seek forgiveness and guidance for me and you from Allah.

-------------------
Surah Al-Hajj, Verse 58:
وَالَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قُتِلُوا أَوْ مَاتُوا لَيَرْزُقَنَّهُمُ اللَّهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ

And (as for) those who fly in Allah's way and are then slain or die, Allah will most certainly grant them a goodly sustenance, and most surely Allah is the best Giver of sustenance.

 Surah Al-Hajj, Verse 59:
لَيُدْخِلَنَّهُم مُّدْخَلًا يَرْضَوْنَهُ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَعَلِيمٌ حَلِيمٌ

He will certainly cause them to enter a place of entrance which they shall be well pleased with, and most surely Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.

____________

Why did this inspire me? Because Allah promised a goodly sustenance  رزقا حسنا and a place of entrance where they will be pleased with. And these are the two things which we are running after everyday. Don't we spend a lot of time on our رزق and don't we want a place where we are happy.

If I analyze what is the place I am most happy then I would say it is Makkah or Madina. Why? I don't know why. But if I analyze my daily routine,  I get to hear Quran in most beautiful voices at least three times a day. Over there I am in the company of so many who come for Allah sake. Over there my iman increases. Over there I get the chance to do more good deeds than anywhere else in the world. Over there I make duaa almost in my every breath. May be all this keeps me happy. Somebody would say going on vacation and living permanently is different. OK I agree with that. I would still say living in a Muslim country is lot better than living in a non muslim country. Should I migrate there? I don't know. I dont know which country i should go to. But one thing is clear I am not able to do every good here. Somebody would argue not everybody is doing good there even. I agree. Then what? I pray to Allah keep us where me and family is able to please HIM most. Ameen. Oh Allah make me grateful and make me fearing You alone. لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله I have no strength or power to do any good. I have no idea what is right for us. Please guide us to the straight path. Ameen. Now if I am not able to migrate right away, what can I do? What  Is there a deeper meaning to migration? Yes هجرة means leaving every evil for sake of Allah. And that I can do living anywhere. Let me at least make an intention to do such a migration.
