Some scholars have also discussed another dimension of migration, namely spiritual migration, which is understood as the inward journey of the human soul from one spiritual station to a higher one. This concept is meaningful in itself. However, applying it directly to Qur'anic verses discussing physical migration requires careful consideration, as such an interpretation may deviate from the apparent meaning of the verses. The immigrant's responsibility towards his homeland/native community Immigration does not mean that a person's responsibility towards his homeland and community ends. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) never forgot his homeland; His attachment to him remained alive even after his departure. The immigrant person may find himself in circumstances of greater comfort, security and prosperity. However, these conditions should not lead them to forget the people and community they left behind. As understood from the relevant Islamic teachings, migration can be a temporary and necessary measure, with a chance to return to contribute to the reform and welfare of society. If return is possible, the immigrant may serve their community through their presence and direct contribution. If return is not possible, they remain responsible for finding ways to benefit their people from wherever they are. The essential point is that migration does not stop one's religious and social obligations. An immigrant should maintain a continuing connection with his homeland, whether through continued awareness of its circumstances, preparation for future service, education, or other appropriate forms of contribution. In the end, immigration in Islam should not be understood as leaving a place of oppression; It is a means of preserving faith, acquiring knowledge, serving humanity, protecting life and maintaining responsibility towards the community.
