[Lahore, 28 August 2024] – Muslims across the world are commemorating the historic Hijrat-e-Madina, marking the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) migration from Mecca to Medina. This significant event in Islamic history began with the Prophet’s (PBUH) journey from Mecca to the cave of Thawr, located to the south of the city.
The migration symbolizes a pivotal moment when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), accompanied by his close companion Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA), took refuge in the cave of Thawr to escape the Quraysh’s pursuit. This journey laid the foundation for the establishment of the first Muslim community in Medina.
Muslims worldwide reflect on the spiritual significance of this event, emphasizing themes of faith, sacrifice, and the importance of community. The commemoration serves as a reminder of the Prophet’s (PBUH) unwavering trust in Allah during times of hardship and the enduring bond between him and his followers.
