Abstract

This article reexamines the concept of hijrah in the Quran and its relevance to contemporary migration. The method used is qualitative with content analysis; data sources were taken from the Quran and three works of interpretation: al-Qurṭubī (al-Jāmi‘ li Aḥkām al-Qur’ān), Tafsir al-Azhar by Hamka, and Tafsir al-Miṣbāḥ by M. Quraish Shihab. All data were analyzed thematically using the maudhu'i technique through theme determination, key verse extraction (QS An-Nisā': 100; QS Al-Baqarah: 218), lexical mapping (murāghaman, sa'ah), and interpretation comparison. The main findings show that hijrah is not merely a change of place, but a transformation of circumstances that requires ethical boundaries of righteous intentions, lawful and fair means, and beneficial goals. The spectrum of lawful goals includes halal livelihood, ṭalab al-‘ilm, safety of faith/soul, and socio-religious strengthening. This article contributes an ethical-operational framework of four axes intention, method, purpose, and responsibility as practical indicators for assessing migration practices (work/study/protection) in terms of legitimacy, safety, and dignity, while also providing implications for religious guidance services, community education, and the strengthening of migrant protection policies.
