ter enemy of Islam was now a loyal<br />

friend.<br />

Prophet Muhammad [s] and Abu<br />

Bakr [r] slowly made their way to<br />

Yathrib, and after seven days they<br />

reached the blessed city. The people<br />

were overjoyed and the children<br />

sang in the streets. There were<br />

great celebrations and everyone<br />

was happy, for the Prophet of Allah<br />

had arrived.<br />

From that day onward Yathrib<br />

became known as, Madinat an-<br />

Nabi, which means ‘The City of the<br />

Prophet', or simply Madinah.<br />

As for the journey to Madinah, it is<br />

known as the Hijrah, or migration.<br />

This event is most important, for<br />

Muslims all over the world. Muslims<br />

mark that time as the very beginning<br />

of their calendar, the first day<br />

of the first year of Islam.<br />
