Prophet Lovers Foundation issues message on "Hijri New Year"
The headquarters of the Prophet Lovers Foundation has issued a message to mark the 1442nd anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad's emigration (Hegira) from Mecca to Medina.
The emigration of Prophet Muhammad changed the course of human history said Prophet Lovers Foundation in a message issued on the "Hijri New Year".
Sharing ayahs from the Holy Qur'an:
-"[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah." [Surah Al-Hac – 40]
-"…So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with Him the best reward." [Ali Imran - 195]
The Prophet Lovers Foundation touched on why Hegira is important for Muslims as follows:
"In the Qur'an, Allah (Azzah and Celle) has sent down more than 30 ayahs concerning the migration, and He has mentioned the rewards He has given to believers for their emigration.
The Hijri New Year, which is of great importance to the Islamic world, coinciding on Thursday, August 20 this year.
This historic journey, which we will leave the 1442 year behind, has been a turning point, a milestone for all humankind in general and for Muslims in particular.
This historical and monotheistic journey of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Mecca to Medina, which was sent as a mercy to the Worlds, has changed the course of human history.
Such a journey has been accepted as the starting point of history for the Islamic world and this blessed journey, in which the foundations of Islamic Civilization have been laid, has brought liberation and happiness to the people with it.
Underlining that the Hegira is not an escape, Prophet Lovers Foundation said it is a stage in the cause of Islam.
"Hegira is a sign that Islam is a too great religion that cannot be confiscated to a geographical border.
Hegira means to travel from a place where it is not possible to live Islam to a place where it is possible to live Islam.
Hegira is the dedication of good messengers to humanity who act with the motto of doing unrequited good for the interest of humanity, at the risk of any price.
Hegira is an invitation to return to the nature of humanity.
Cruelty and injustice were extreme before Islam. Islam, which is entrenched in hearts, has ended this period of oppression by offering a sense of governance that acts with justice.
Hegira [Emigration] is a brotherhood. A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. It is such a brotherhood that people who have never known each other before have strengthened with the Islamic brotherhood.
The only recipe for interest and power that will hold us together is the Islamic brotherhood. (ILKHA)
