Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Advice to migrate and the Promise of Provision and a Goodly RewardAllah commands His believing servants to migrate from a land in which they are not able to establish Islam, to the spacious earth of Allah where they can do so, by declaring Allah to be One and worshipping Him as He has commanded. Allah says:يَعِبَادِىَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِنَّ أَرْضِى وَاسِعَةٌ فَإِيَّاىَ فَاعْبُدُونِ(O My servants who believe! Certainly, spacious is My earth. Therefore worship Me.
