tactic for safeguarding and eternalising the newfashioned school "Islam", to this meaning that when the polytheists would annihilate the Muslims in Mecca, other followers of the new religion would appear in another place for protecting and defending them. The holy Quran has in many verses, told about migration of Muslim women. First: It makes migration obligatory on the women and men to the same level: "Verily those whom the angels take away "at death" while they are unjust to their "own" selves "in sin", they "the angels" shall ask "the sinner souls": "In what state were ye?" They shall reply: "Weakened "and oppressed" were we in the land;" They "the angels" will say: "Was not the land of God vast "enough" for you to migrate there in?" So these "are those" whose refuge shall be Hell: and what a bad resort it is. Except the "really" weakened ones from among the men and the women and the children, who have not in their power the means "to escape from the unbelievers" and nor they find the "right" way." "4:97, 98" What is gleaned of these verses is that all those disdaining from migration their abode will be in Hell, whether be men or women or children. So all the Muslims, men and women, should migrate so as to keep God's religion safe and intact. Second: The Quran makes a special reference to migration of women together with the Prophet toward Medina. "O "Our" Prophet! Verily we have made lawful unto thee thy wives whom thou hast given their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth out of those whom God returneth unto thee "without war", and the daughters of thy paternal uncle, and the daughters of thy paternal aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncle and the daughters of thy maternal aunts who fled with you..."
"33:50" One of the women participated in this migration was Asma', wife of AzZubayr. She says: In this migration process I was conceived to a child and period of pregnancy was over at that time. On reaching Medina I gave birth to my son Abdallah at Quba. 116 Third: In another verse examining the immigrant women: "O ye who believe! when come unto you believing womenrefugees, then ye examine them; God knoweth best their faith; and if ye find them to be believing women, return ye not them unto the disbelievers; neither these women are lawful for them, nor are those men lawful for them..." "60:10" In Hudaybiyyah peace Treaty it was determined that in case of coming of Muslims to Medina they should be repatriated. However, Allah the Exalted revealed this verse in which He exempted the women from that Treaty. Ibn Abbas is reported to have said: The exam or interrogation of immigrant women was thus, that the women should confess and admit that: "I pledge and assure here that I have not migrated out of grudge against my husband, or out of desire and inclination toward the new land or for gaining worldly coveted objects or profits, but the only purpose and goal for which I migrated being love to God and the Prophet." 117 Among the women who migrated and were subjected to examination I can refer to Damimah daughter of Bishr, Subay'ah daughter of Harith, Borough daughter of Aqabah and Abdah daughter of Abd AlAziz.
