Sam Gerrans - The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation

And whoso emigrates in the cause of God will find in the earth much refuge and abundance; and whoso leaves his house as an émigré to God and His messenger, then death overtakes him: his reward is upon God; and God is forgiving and merciful.

وَمَنْ يُهَاجِرْ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ يَجِدْ فِي الْاَرْضِ مُرَاغَماً كَث۪يراً وَسَعَةًۜ وَمَنْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ بَيْتِه۪ مُهَاجِراً اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكْهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ اَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللّٰهِۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوراً رَح۪يماً۟
