سورة النساء، الآية ٩٧Surah An-Nisa, ayah 97 (4:97)
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ قَالُواْ فِيمَ كُنتُمۡ قَالُواْ كُنَّا مُسۡتَضۡعَفِينَ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ قَالُوٓاْ أَلَمۡ تَكُنۡ أَرۡضُ ٱللَّهِ وَٰسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُواْ فِيهَا فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُ وَسَآءَتۡ مَصِيرًا ٩٧
The meaning in English
Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): "In what (condition) were you?" They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on the earth." They (angels) say: "Was not the earth of Allâh spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil destination!

التفسير الميسر
إن الذين توفَّاهم الملائكة وقد ظلموا أنفسهم بقعودهم في دار الكفر وترك الهجرة، تقول لهم الملائكة توبيخًا لهم: في أي شيء كنتم من أمر دينكم؟ فيقولون: كنا ضعفاء في أرضنا، عاجزين عن دفع الظلم والقهر عنا، فيقولون لهم توبيخا: ألم تكن أرض الله واسعة فتخرجوا من أرضكم إلى أرض أخرى بحيث تأمنون على دينكم؟ فأولئك مثواهم النار، وقبح هذا المرجع والمآب
