Was not Allah's earth spacious, so that you should have migrated therein?

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلآئِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُواْ فِيمَ كُنتُمْ قَالُواْ كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ قَالْوَاْ أَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضُ اللّهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُواْ فِيهَا فَأُوْلَـئِكَ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَسَاءتْ مَصِيراً

[4:97] Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang diwafatkan malaikat dalam keadaan menganiaya diri sendiri, (kepada mereka) malaikat bertanya : "Dalam keadaan bagaimana kamu ini ?". Mereka menjawab : "Adalah kami orang-orang yang tertindas di negeri (Mekah)". Para malaikat berkata : "Bukankah bumi Allah itu luas, sehingga kamu dapat berhijrah di bumi itu ?". Orang-orang itu tempatnya neraka Jahannam, dan Jahannam itu seburuk-buruk tempat kembali,

English: Surely (as for) those whom the angels cause to die while they are unjust to their souls, they shall say: In what state were you? They shall say: We were weak in the earth. They shall say: Was not Allah's earth spacious, so that you should have migrated therein? So these it is whose abode is hell, and it is an evil resort
