"Surely Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change themselves." (QS. Ar-Ra'du : 11)

This verse teaches us to try to change our own circumstances. From backward to advanced. From weak to strong. From oppressed to independent. From pessimist to optimist. Changes in the positive direction are strongly encouraged by Islam. In a more religious language, we migrate.
