Hijrah
In the Footsteps of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)
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 (صلى الله عليه وسلم) 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”.
description
For over fourteen hundred years, al-Hijrah, the famous story of the Prophet Muhammad’s ( صلى الله عليه وسلم) ‘migration’ from Makkah to Madinah, has been told and retold by generations of Muslims throughout the world. 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.
press commentaries
Kaleidoscopic, learned and exquisitely illustrated, the book represents a major step in rectifying this imbalance while shedding new light on an event that continues to be of inspiration and relevance, regardless of one’s background or faith.
