Description
With the help of scholars, historians and artists, and through a range of diverse media, this book sets out to follow in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (), retracing his movements during the famous Hijrah 'migration', from Makkah to the oasis town of Yathrib soon to become Madinat an-Nabi, the "City of the Prophet." Situating the Hijrah firmly within the geography in which it unfolded, the book uses the sacred landscape of the Hijrah* as a receptacle for its stories, memories, and the events that took place along the route, thus providing tangible links between us and this momentous journey as never before experienced.
For over fourteen hundred years, al-Hijrah, the famous story of the Prophet Muhammad's (*) 'migration' from Makkah to Madinah, has been told and retold by generations of Muslims throughout the world. This story, one of endurance overcoming adversity in pursuit of religious freedom to establish a nation united by bonds of brotherhood and faith, has continued to be an inspiration from which renewed meanings have been drawn.
This book follows in the footsteps of the Prophet (), retracing his movements during this crucial journey, and examining what occurred as he left his home in Makkah to the oasis town of Yathrib soon to become the "City of the Prophet." However, unlike anything seen before, this book anchors the Hijrah firmly within the geography in which it unfolded. Acting as a receptacle for its stories, memories, and the events that took place along the route, the sacred landscape of the Hijrah provides tangible links between us and this momentous journey as never before, bringing a greater appreciation of the Hijrah* story.
