We read in Islamic History that many Prophets a.s., migrated due to various reasons, among manys, one is the freedom of practice of religion. My questions are:

1- If a Muslim lives in a country where practice of religion is difficult or forbidden due to whatever reason, shall that Muslim migrate to any other country, where it is allowed?

Yes. what are other options?

2- Isn’t migration given us a message that we should migrate, rather than waiting with hope that one day we will be given permission to practice our religion freely?

What I have learned from the history of prophets is that peaceful means were used to propagate and practice religion as much as possible. if there were restrictions or dangers for the practice of faith openly, then it was done privately. But if situation arises where it becomes difficult to live a normal life due to one’s faith then it is better to migrate. So whether one should migrate or not depends on the situation on ground.
