First let us know about the Hijra. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took the journey of hijra upon command of Allah (or God and same God in Christianity and Judaism) to him to leave Makkah (or Mecca) to Yethrib (that was named later as AlMadinah (or Medina). Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was informed by Allah that the unbelievers of the tribes of Makkah (or Mecca) planned to assassinate him. On the planned night of assassination, the prophet Cousin Ali Ibn Abou Taleb slept in the prophet bed and the prophet left home while the pagans who planning to assassinate him are surrounding his home. He threw on them some dust and they neither saw him nor felt his departure (This is a miracle from God). When they woke up in the morning, they discovered that the prophet succeeded to leave Makkah (or Mecca) together with his companion Abou Bakr to Medina where people were waiting to welcome him.
This Hijra to Medina (or AlMadinah)was very important from many aspects; mainly:
- Convert to Islam in Medina was very common and Islam spread very fast there.
- It was the declation of the first Islam state
- Prophet Muhammad received so much support from the People of Medina when Muslims in Medina were attacked many times by the pagans of Makkah (or Mecca) and other tribes in the peninsula.
- It marked out the declaration of many Islam teachings (as Prayers, fasting, banning alcohol drinking and gambling, ...) and morals.
