What is a Muslim's duty towards their homeland, and do they choose where to expend their effort and wealth, or does Islam impose priorities for that? And was the return of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to Mecca by divine command or a national duty, and consequently, is it obligatory for a Muslim emigrant to return to their homeland?

A Muslim is not obligated to a specific homeland, for all lands of Islam are his homeland. There is no harm in his love for the place of his birth or residence. The error lies in loyalty to nationalism regardless of religion. A Muslim should strive to benefit the people of the earth and develop it through economic activities. The greatest thing that must be achieved is to work for the servitude of Allah and the establishment of religion. Spending should first be on parents, relatives, and the needy, then in the service of Islam and Muslims. The return of the Prophet and the Muhajirun to Mecca was for Jihad or ritual worship, not to return to a homeland, and for this reason, they did not stay there long. It is permissible for a Muslim to return to any Islamic country where he feels secure in his religion, and it may be better to return to his original homeland if his family is there.
