Hijrah 1426...
Assalamualaikum...Tonight is the 1st of Muharram, 1426H...which is the new year for Muslims...it is the anniversary of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) migration from Mecca to Medina. There are some Western people perceive it as running away, or the Prophets withdrawal from Mecca to escape persecution. This is not really correct. He didn't ran away. It was the Almighty Allah's will who instructed Him so the migration was required. Also, the Ansar's (Helpers) from Medina actually invited Him to come. It's about time to unite with the Muhajirins (Emigrants), to build a strong, Islamic community.
