The Hegira: Muhammad's Escape to Medina and Its Significance in Islam

In 622 AD, Muhammad fled from Mecca to Yathrib (Medina) to escape assassination. This pivotal event, known as the Hegira, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar and is crucial to Islamic history. Medina, alongside Mecca, forms the two holiest cities for Muslims. The Hegira not only represents a physical escape but also a transformation of the Muslim community from persecution to a stable and unifying base. The event embodies faith, resilience, and the establishment of a new social order in Islam, impacting its followers profoundly.

  8. NEWS The RMS Bulletin September 9, 622 Muhammad escapes! In 622, after discovering a plan to assassinate him, Muhammad fled to the north, from Mecca to the city of Yathrib, now called Medina. Medina, like Mecca, is also in modern day Saudi Arabia. Ever since that time, Mecca and Medina were the two holiest cites of Islam. Muhammad's flight to Medina is called the "Hegira", and it is considered to be the beginning of the Moslem calendar. For example, the year 2006 A.D. in the secular calendar corresponds to the year 1427 A.H. (after Hegira) in the Moslem calendar. (Note: The Moslem year is based on 12 lunar cycles, a bit over 354 days. For this reason, the Moslem months shift every year with respect to the secular calendar.)
