Hijrah calendar: A landmark of the world history
By Abu Tariq Hijazi | 19 Nov 2012
The word Hijrah, which stands for migration, is a full message of Islam in itself. It strikes the mind with several questions such as, who migrated; and when, where and why the migration took place. In brief, Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) migrated in September 622 CE from Makkah to Madinah to save and promote the Truth.

Muslims across the world tonight will observe "laylatul-bara'ah" which means the Night of Innocence.
This is the night occurring between 14th and 15th day of Sha'ban month that is the eighth month of the Islamic lunar calendar.
There are certain traditions of Prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him] to prove that it is a meritorious night in which the people of the earth are attended by special Divine mercy.
