The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ migrated from Makkah to Madinah in Rabi‘ al-Awwal of the first year of the Hijrah. This marked the start of a new stage in the Prophet’s biography.
It marks the start of the Madinan period and the beginning of building the Islamic community
In Rabi‘ al-Awwal of this year: the Prophet ﷺ migrated from Makkah to Madinah.
The Prophet ﷺ left Makkah for Madinah, and the Muslims moved from a stage of weakness in Makkah to a stage of building a society in Madinah.
The Muslims in Makkah faced harm and pressure, then Allah allowed His Prophet to make the Hijrah to Madinah.
To prepare a safe home for establishing the religion and building the Muslim community.
The Muslims moved from the Makkah stage to the Madinah stage, and from weakness to establishment and building.

The emigrant and leader of the move to Madinah
The Hijrah is obedience to Allah and His Messenger
Patience and steadfastness in hardship
Building a new community on faith
Moving to a place where religion can be established
Teaching sacrifice and leaving one’s homeland for belief
The beginning of the organized establishment of the Muslim community
The call to Islam became a civilizational project
Moving from an environment that hinders the Message to one that helps build
Choosing the right environment to build useful work
The importance of planning the move from weakness to empowerment
Building a community needs vision and the right place
That one should sacrifice what hinders obedience if needed
A modern event cannot be compared with the Prophet’s Hijrah in every detail
The Prophet’s Hijrah was a revelation-guided event and the foundation of a message, whereas the modern reality is limited human effort
If the environment for righteous work becomes too tight, look for a better one for building and reform
