Abstract
Hijrah is customarily speak of as to leave a place (residence) to
look for nature preserve or freedom. The word “Hijra” also terms as to leave
a bad way of life for a good or more righteous way. It is a vivid juncture,
experienced by all divine religions. Migration proved to be the turning point
and the beginning of a new chapter of glory in all divine revolutions. This
movement has kept up a close relation with manhood since the beginning of
humanity. It brought success, happiness and victory to the followers, but it
is also quite obvious that in the path of righteousness sometimes one has to
sacrifice all worldly interests and belongings, and there seems no alternative.
