The Hijrah of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

The Hijrah – emigration of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, to Madeenah – constitutes a wonderful memory honored by many annually. But, it is only the wise who recognize its full magnanimity: as a victory for the believers and their escape from a life of injustice and subjugation to a free and respectable one. It marked a new phase in the struggle between Islam and disbelief, and between truth and falsehood, hence only fit to signify the start of the Muslim calendar.
