The Story of the Hijrah—Told From the Place It Actually Happened

The Islamic calendar doesn’t begin with the birth of the Prophet ﷺ…
It doesn’t begin with the Qur’an being revealed. It begins with Hijrah, the moment they left everything behind.

In this video, we revisit the early stages of the Hijrah story, from the quiet seeds planted in Mecca, to the first believers gathering in secret, to the powerful moment when the Muslims began to leave.

As the new Islamic year begins, this isn’t just a story of the past.
It’s a mirror for the present.

We filmed this journey across a real landmark of Medina, one of the very place where these events unfolded. Let it ground the story for you, not in imagination, but in place… in footsteps… in dust still touched by that legacy.

O Allah, make this new Hijri year a means that brings us closer to You, distances us from what displeases You, and includes us among Your righteous, beloved servants.
