Lessons from Muharram and Hijra
This booklet covers the importance of Muharram – the sacred month and the first month of the Islamic calendar, and the inspiring lessons from the Hijra, a pivotal moment in Islamic history. Through exploring these significant events, we hope to offer insights into how we can improve our lives today.
Highlighting the power of truth, and the importance of resilience and persistence, it looks at the great sacrifices made during the Hijra and the shaping of the first community of believers.
The booklet answers questions such as: What is a Muhajir? How can we gain the tremendous reward of being a muhajir without migrating? How can migrants add value when they settle.
Shaykh Haytham Tamim also looks at the trials and tribulations that have struck the Ummah since the death of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and the need to have the courage to stand up against oppression.
