In order to sustain the life, first and foremost, the person needs the basics such as food and clean water, apparel and shelter. But, along with the economical conditions, if the humanly conditions based on trust and social peace lacks or not enough in a region, then it is almost impossible to sustain basic needs for people. These situations caused the people leave their places in throughout history. For this reason, migration is a sociological fact on the agenda of humanity. The religions, as are known, present people sense making interpretations overcoming hardships, helping them coping with the problems, strengthening them against these situations. Within this frame, the experiences of prophets, among the examples given in Quran constitute an important part. Like any person, the prophets also faced hardships. For example, Prophet Moses, because of the insecurity of the situation, had to leave his country. The last prophet, Muhammad, faced with the oppression and persecution of the polytheists, allowed the Muslims first to emigrate to Ethiopia and then to Medina. Before, during and after the migration, the hardships saddened the prophets, led them to bad mood from time to time as every other people, but the patience, resolution, tenacity and determination of them became a source of hope not only for their believers but the humanity. Hence, in Quran it is stated that, the people who had to leave their country, will be rewarded in this world and in the afterlife. The statement of Quran continues to be a light of hope in today's world where the number of people, who is not allowed to have the basic needs increases every day, and the consciences without empathy becoming more blind. The emigrants today continue to struggle for life. In this paper, how the struggles of the emigrants be interpreted within the Quran perspectives as a Hegira Phonemenon is deliberated. In this way, it is aimed that along with the historical meaning of the migration as a universal fact, the reflections on today and relations on current issues be determined.
