اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ تَوَفّٰىهُمُ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ ظَالِمِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوْا فِيْمَ كُنْتُمْ ۗ قَالُوْا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِۗ قَالُوْٓا اَلَمْ تَكُنْ اَرْضُ اللّٰهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوْا فِيْهَا ۗ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ مَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۗ وَسَاۤءَتْ مَصِيْرًاۙ
Innal-lażīna tawaffāhumul-malā'ikatu ẓālimī anfusihim qālū fīma kuntum, qālū kunnā mustaḍ‘afīna fil-arḍ(i), qālū alam takun arḍullāhi wāsi‘atan fa tuhājirū fīhā, fa ulā'ika ma'wāhum jahannam(u), wa sā'at maṣīrā(n).
"Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves - [the angels] will say, "In what [condition] were you?" They will say, "We were oppressed in the land." The angels will say, "Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?" For those, their refuge is Hell - and evil it is as a destination."

Reflection and Practical Meaning
This verse invites readers to slow down, remember Allah, and connect the message of the Quran with daily life. A useful way to approach An-Nisa' ayah 97 is to ask three questions: what does this verse teach about Allah, what does it reveal about human character, and what small action can be practiced today? This method keeps reflection grounded and practical.
For personal study, read the verse slowly, repeat the key phrase, and write one sentence about how it applies to your prayer, family life, work, or choices. Consistent small reflections often become more beneficial than rushed reading. If you share this verse, include its surah and ayah reference so others can find the context.
