Happy New Year!!!

Alhamdulillah, we have arrived to the new year. Yeah! our new year. We have arrived to the year of 1427H. What does this meant? In Gregory, like this year, 2006, it shows that it had been 2006 year since the birth of Jesus (for the christians). But what does it means by 1427? Who's birthday is this?

No! It's not a birthday. This is the day where our prophet, Muhammad (PBUH) migrate from his homeland to other place where the people believe and take a good care of him and the muslims. He migrate from Mecca to Madinah by the order of the Almighty Allah.

A brief story about this hijrah:
After 12 years of being a prophet, spreading the words of Allah, his people still did not believe in Islam. Only a few of them, mostly are the poor and the slave. Plus, he receive a lot threat from the kuffar. Despite that, he continues on his mission.

At that year, 12 people from Yathrib (old name for Madinah) came to Mecca to seek Rasulullah (PBUH). There are from two clan, which had been fighting for a long time. They heard about Islam and Rasulullah (PBUH), so they came to search for him in order to stop their war.

They met him at Aqabah to make an agreement. This agreement was called 'Baiatul Aqabah' and in this agreement, they promise to not to ally Allah with other, staling, commit adultery, kill their daughter and will always do good things. So, for their agreement, the prophet (PBUH) assured their place in heaven. Among those people are As'ad bin Zurarah and Ubadah bin Tsamit.

They went back to Yathrib and aggresively, spread about Islam throughout their clan. Also, they ask for a teacher to teach them, so he sent Mus'ab bin Umair.

Later, about 73 people (which has become a muslim) among 500 people (who came to do their pilgrimage, by mean of worshipping idol) came to mecca to make another agreement. They send a messenger to set a day for the agreement. It was on 13th of Zulhijjah at Aqabah.

At that night, the prophet (PBUH) and his uncle, Abbas bin Abdul Mutalib, were the first to arrive. The 71 men's and 2 women's group, lead by Burra' bin Ma'rur, promised Rasulullah (PBUH) and his believer, protection from the kuffar. He receive their oath, and make them do another 'Baiah' by placing their palm on top of his palm. He then asked them to choose 12 leader among them, as what prophet Musa (A.S) had done to the Israel, to ease their problems.

The news about the agreement between Rasulullah (PBUH) and the muslim from Yathrib had come to their ears. They were quite anxious and try to investigate this matter. They asked among the 500 people (but not the 73) but none of them knows about it as they meet at night while others was asleep. Regarding musyrikin investigation, the muslim had made decision to leave mecca as soon as possible.

As they rushed, leaving mecca, the musyrikin detected and try to catch them. but they only managed to catch Saad bin Ubadah and Manzar bin Umar, but later, Manzar was able to escape. Later, Saad was also released by Mut'am bin 'Adi, as Saad once saved his trades for thief at Yathrib.

This agreement, causing their torchery on the muslims increase. They asked the prophet to migrate to other placed, so the prophet ordered them to migrate to Yathrib. Upon hearing the order, they migrate to Yathrib at night through various way. At last, none of the muslim stay at mecca, except the prophet (PBUH), Abu Bakar, Ali and those in detention by their owner and sick.

The musyrikin made a decision to kill the prophet (PBUH). They gather some young and strong men. Jibril (A.S) sent the news upon the their strategy on killing him, so on that night, he ordered Ali to sleep in his bed and he sneak out while reciting Surah Yasin. All the men fell asleep.

In the morning, they woke up and found Ali, instead of the prophet (PBUH). The prophet (PBUH) went to Abu Bakar house, and together they leave mecca to Tsur cave, at the south of mecca, hiding in there. The musyrikin used the locater (person who are great in locating people) and found out that he had been into the cave. But with Allah's power the musyrikin did not believe as they see a lot of spider's web and bird's nest, uninterrupted.

For three days, they hid themselves in the cave and on the fourth day, Ali sent 3 camels and one guide, Uraiqit. They used the camel and make their journey of 400km to Yathrib at night and rest during the day.

Unexpected, there is a man saw the prophet, so he went back to report to the musyrikin. Suraqah bin Malik, who was greedy to get the reward of 100 camel for himself, refused the men's report and say that he did not see the real Muhammad (PBUH)

As he was chasing the prophet (PBUH), his horse collapse to the ground. He knew this was the work of the Almighty, and soon let the prophet (PBUH) t decide what to do to him. The prophet (PBUH) told him to go bak to Mecca and told the other to not to chase him. Hearing that, whenever he met others that try to chase the prophet (PBUH), he would say "There is no sign of him".

So, our prophet (PBUH) managed to save to migrate to Yathrib which is now called "Madinatul Munawwarah" means 'the town of light'. This history means a lot to us, and I hope you can get some good point from this story. Aww! I was so exhausted, but quite happy to finish this post. I want to sleep. See you in the next post. Syukran!
