THE EARLY CONVERTS OF ISLAM WHO WAS THE FIRST BELIEVER IN ISLAM?

 Emigration is a natural phenomenon of departure from one place of abode, for life or residence to another. The journey might also be for some ideals of higher value, such as freedom of belief and assertion. In 19th and 20th centuries several important waves of emigration occured corresponding to periods of severe economic hardship in certain parts of the world. One striking example is the Potato Famine in Ireland in 1845-6 which led to massive emigration to the U.S.A. halving of Ireland's population!

      In 19th and 20th century, Nazi persecution of the Jews, led to future emigration from all over Europe, with the U.S.A. again being the final destination. So far several countries have been built on the work of emigrants, notably U.S.A., Canada, Australia, and most recently Israel. From 1790 to 1960, over 41 millions of emigrants came to the United States, nearly 90% from the countries of Europe. Even the birds and animals emigrate when they feel it to be necessary. Bird migration has facinated man for centuries, but its evolutionary origins, and how birds are able to navigate over great distance, are two questions to which even to-day there are only partial answers. The origin of the migrating habit in birds, just like in men has various reasons. Many migratory birds abandon their northern homes while the food supply is still ample, and with the coming of spring they return north, even though more comfortable living conditions are left behind. The fact is also worth of deep consideration that birds can find their way over great distances to exact spots where they habitually nest.

      As a matter of fact it is the cause of immigration which gives value to the immigrant. It might either be physical or spiritual. The emigration of the foremost Muslims was rather an spritual than physical. Their only problem was that of their belief in Allah, the only one God, and renouncing and casting off idolatries and fetishes. Such a belief agitated their community and made it compulsory for them to leave their home and hearth and to forsake all that they had for the

sake of Allah. They went after freedom-freedom of belief and worship-freedom of thought and assertion. Therefor their emigration was among the most valuable immigrations, being only for the sake of God. In fact, they went out of themselves spiritually, towards their Lord God-Him who is the Creator of the universe and all that exists.
