[4:100] Whoever emigrates in the way of God will find in the earth many refuges and abundance; whoever goes forth from his house as an emigrant to God and His Messenger, and then death overtakes him, his wage is then incumbent upon God; surely God is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Whoever has emigrated in God from what is other than God, his goal has become authentically directed towards God. He has found an ample space in the courtyard of generosity, a resting place in the shelter of welcome, and a spacious life under the wing of nearness. The emigrant, in the real sense, is whoever has emigrated from his lower self and his whim and this is only proven true through the abandonment all his objects of desire. Whoever makes Him his goal but his time comes before attaining it - he can not but end up on the plains of communion with Him and his spirit can only come to rest in the homelands of nearness to Him.
