4-What is Laylat al-Qadr?
Allah (SWT) has bestowed special significance upon the month of Ramadan by designating Laylat-al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, within it.

The Quran states: “Indeed, it is We Who sent this Quran down on the Night of Qadr. And what will make you realise what the Night of Qadr is? The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh [Jibreel (Gabriel)] by Allah’s Permission with all Decrees, there is peace until the appearance of dawn.” [Al-Qadr 97:1-5]


Laylat al-Qadr, meaning ‘the night of decree’ in Arabic, signifies when the Holy Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon him

Laylat al-Qadr is one of the most sacred nights on the Islamic calendar. It occurs only during Ramadan and lasts one night from sunset to sunrise. This divine night falls sometime during the last ten nights of Ramadan.


When is Laylat al-Qadr? When does it happen during Ramadan?

There is never a definite date for when Laylat al-Qadr occurs, but it is believed to fall during an odd-numbered night during the last 10 nights of Ramadan, with the odd-numbered nights being measured from the holy month's starting night.


What is the significance of Laylat al-Qadr?

On the night of Laylat al-Qadr, the holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad through angel Gabriel. The Quran is the direct word of God and contains moral code, spiritual guidance, and prophetic hadiths.

In the Quran Laylat al-Qadr, Worship in it is better than a thousand months — any acts of worship performed on this night carry greater reward than on any other day.

Qadr, in Arabic, literally translates to ‘destiny’ or ‘decree.’ It is believed that Muslims can change their fate and what was written for them by God through prayer and supplication.


How do Muslims worship during the last 10 nights of Ramadan?

Because we will never know when Laylat al-Qadr occurs during the last 10 nights, Muslims are encouraged to take advantage of each night during the final one-third of Ramadan. The last 10 nights are said to be overflowing with God’s mercy and forgiveness.

Everyday Ramadan rituals remain, such as fasting, reading the Quran, and taraweeh (special Ramadan night prayers). Muslims will focus on repentance and spend entire nights worshipping instead of sleeping. Muslims also perform i’tikaf during these last 10 nights, which is the act of spending days and nights in a mosque to perform devout worship.

Generosity is heavily encouraged during the last 10 nights. This is called sadaqah, or voluntary charity, and can be in many forms, such as feeding someone a meal, donating to charity, performing a good deed, or doing an act of kindness.

What are some cultural and social traditions associated with Ramadan?


Many social rituals center on gathering and socializing after the daily fast. Some Muslims decorate their homes, put out Ramadan-themed tableware and centerpieces or throng to markets and Ramadan bazaars.



Colorful lanterns, in different shapes and sizes, dangle from children’s hands and adorn homes or the entrances of buildings and stores.




In various regions, some Muslims worry that the month is being commercialized, and that an emphasis on decorations, TV shows, outings or lavish iftar banquets, especially in the social media era, can detract from Ramadan’s religious essence. Others feel that a balance can be struck and that, done in moderation, such rituals are part of the month’s festive spirit.

In the United States, home to a diverse, small but growing Muslim population, gathering at mosques and Islamic centers when possible for iftar meals and prayers provides many Muslim families with a sense of community. Some Muslims also organize or attend interfaith iftar meals.

Are there exemptions from fasting?

Yes. There are certain exemptions from fasting, such as for those who are unable to because of illness or travel. Those unable to fast due to being temporarily ill or traveling need to make up for the missed days of fasting later. Young children, the elderly, and menstruating, pregnant and breastfeeding women are also exempted.


It is recommended not to do anything that could cause the fast to be broken, however, some cases that cause the fast to be broken do not necessarily invalidate it, such as drinking or eating mechanically, forgetting that one is supposed to be fasting.


As for the case of breaking the fast without an excuse,

the person must compensate for his mistake by fasting one day for each day he did not fast,

Or to fulfill the needs of those in need through charity.


Ramadan this year comes as the Middle East remains inflamed by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with tens of thousands of Palestinians killed. Many in the blockaded territory are going hungry; particularly in the devastated north, people are scrambling for food to survive.


Some Muslims are striving to remain mindful of the Palestinians’ plight during Ramadan, including through making donations, saying prayers or incorporating Palestinian traditional symbols in how they mark the holy month.

There are numerous hadiths from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that emphasize the significance of Ramadan:

1. “Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and in hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” [Bukhari (38) and Muslim (759)]

This hadith underscores the immense spiritual rewards and blessings associated with fasting during Ramadan. It serves as a means of seeking forgiveness for past sins and drawing closer to Allah through sincere faith and devotion.

2. “There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month which Allah has enjoined you to fast, during which the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the rebellious devils are chained up. In it there is a night which is better than a thousand months, and whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived.” [Nasai, 2106; Ahmad, 8769]

It emphasizes the importance of fasting during this sacred month, highlighting it as a time when the gates of heaven open, the gates of Hell close, and the influence of evil forces weakens.Furthermore, it highlights the significance of Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, describing it as better than a thousand months in terms of its spiritual value and rewards.

Muslims around the world are observing the holy month of Ramadan, with worship, charity, dawn-to-dusk fasting and nightly feasts.


The daily fast in Ramadan includes abstaining from all food and drink; not even a sip of water is allowed from dawn to sunset before breaking the fast in a meal known as iftar in Arabic. Those fasting are expected to also refrain from bad deeds, such as gossiping, and increase good deeds.





Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and begins with the sighting of the crescent moon.

Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, along with the profession of faith, prayer, almsgiving and the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.


Fasting is regarded as an act of worship to attain God-conscious piety and one of submission to God. The devout see benefits such as practicing self-restraint, cultivating gratitude, growing closer to God, and feeling empathy for the poor and hungry.




Muslims typically stream into mosques for congregational prayers and dedicate more time for religious contemplation and the reading of the Quran, the Islamic holy book.

Charity is a hallmark of Ramadan. Among other ways of giving, many seek to provide iftar for the needy, distributing Ramadan boxes filled with pantry staples, handing out warm meals alongside such things as dates and juice or helping hold free communal meals.

Muslims eat a predawn meal, called suhoor, to hydrate and nourish their bodies ahead of the daily fast.

mesaharati, who roams neighborhoods, calling out to the faithful, sometimes by name, to awake them for the suhoor meal.


Taraweeh Prayers

Muslims perform Taraweeh prayers as special nightly prayers during the month of Ramadan. They consider these prayers highly virtuous and perform them after the obligatory Isha (night) prayer.

The word “Taraweeh” derives from the Arabic word for “rest” or “relaxation,” indicating the breaks taken between sets of prayers. Typically, believers perform these prayers in congregation at mosques, with an Imam leading, involving the recitation of long portions of the Quran.

Taraweeh prayers offer believers an opportunity to engage in additional acts of worship and spiritual reflection during Ramadan. Many Muslims cherish these prayers as a means of seeking forgiveness, drawing closer to Allah, and strengthening their connection to the Quran.Believers deeply ingrain the practice of performing Taraweeh prayers in Islamic tradition, considering it significantly important during the blessed month of Ramadan.

May Allah’s immaculate grace and exceptional wisdom conquer your life as you celebrate this holy month of Ramadan. Have a blessed Ramadan!

qibla change in islam

First to know is that the prophet prayed towards Al-Aqsa mosque before Hijrah, and after it, he prayed towards it for about seventeen months until Rajab of the second year (according to Ibn Abbas), when Allah ordered him to pray towards Kaabah.

Did the Prophet pray towards Al-Aqsa at the order of Allah or at his own decision?

The majority of scholars agreed that it was at the order of Allah, the following ayah is an evidence:




And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful.

Surat Al-Baqarah:143.

In this verse Allah says that he made the old qiblah (Al-Aqsa) for a reason (rest of the ayah), so this is an evidence that Allah is who chose Al-Aqsa as the first Qibla.






The place of the Dome of the Rock is told to be the place from which the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ascended to heaven at the night of Israa and Miraj, hence its importance.


The First Qibla of Islam was toward Bitul-Maqdis, which is now in Jerusalem. Muslims used to pray Salat towards this Qibla, until this Ayat is revealed:

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do 1

This hadith From Anas (R.A) which is recorded in Sahih Muslim is saying this:

Anas reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) used to pray towards Bait-ul-Maqdis, that it was revealed (to him):" Indeed We see the turning of the face to heaven, wherefore We shall assuredly cause thee to turn towards Qibla which shall please thee. So turn thy face towards the sacred Mosque (Ka'ba)" (ii. 144). A person from Banu Salama was going; (he found the people) in ruk'u (while) praying the dawn prayer and they had said one rak'ah. He said in a loud voice: Listen! the Qibla has been changed and they turned towards (the new) Qibla (Ka'ba) in that very state.



Before the Quran came from Allah the Bible (new & old testament) came from Allah . According to the old testament people were required to pray towards Jerusalem.

The origin of this is based in the Bible as below...

"If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city ( Jerusalem ) which thou hast chosen, and toward the house ( Baitul Makdas ) that I have built for thy name" [ 1 Kings 8:44 ]

So Mulsims were following that direction because that was the last known direction of prayer given by Allah until He changed it in the Quran towards Mecca based on the verse below...

"From whencesoever Thou startest forth, turn Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque; that is indeed the truth from the Lord. And Allah is not unmindful of what ye do." [Quran 2:149]

Allah says in the Quran what means

:
{Glory be to Him Who made His servant to go on a night from the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We have blessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs; surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing.} (Al-Israa' 17:1)


There is no doubt that Al-Isra (the night journey) followed by Al-Miraj (the heavenly ascension) was one of the miracles in the life of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). According to the most accepted view, it happened on the 27th of Rajab, the seventh month of the Hijri calendar, in the tenth year of Muhammad's prophethood.

It is reported in Hadith literature, that the Messenger of Allah was carried from the Sacred Mosque in Makkah to the "Farthest Mosque" (Al-Masjid al-Aqsa) in Jerusalem on a creature called Al-Buraq in the company of the archangel Gabriel (peace be upon him). There he led a congregational prayer of the prophets of God.


Then Gabriel took him to the heavens where he met the prophets Adam, John, Jesus, Idris, Aaron and Moses (peace be on them all). In the seventh heaven, he met Abraham (peace be on him).

He was then brought to the Divine Presence. The details of this encounter are beautifully detailed in the beginning of surat An-Najm (52).

Prayer: God-given Gift


During this time, Allah ordered for his nation fifty daily Prayers. But on the Prophet's return, he was told by Prophet Moses (peace be on him) that his followers could not perform fifty Prayers. Thus, he went back and eventually it was reduced to five daily Prayers. After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned to Makkah on the same night itself.


Therefore, Muslims should be thankful to Allah for this gift. They should take care of it and never neglect it. It is the thing that allows the Muslim to communicate with the creator five times as day.

This is from Allah

it's miracles

After all these matters took place with the Prophet, he returned to the city of Makkah. Some scholars said the Prophet's journey took about one-third of the night, i.e., his journey from Makkah to Jerusalem, then to the heavens and what is above them, and then back to Makkah The next day the Prophet told the people what happened to him the previous night. The blasphemers belied the Prophet and mocked him, saying, "We need a month to get there and back, and you are claiming to have done all this in one night?"


They said to Abu Bakr, "Look at what your companion is saying. He says he went to Jerusalem and came back in one night." Abu Bakr told them, "If he said that, then he is truthful. I believe him concerning the news of the heavens--that an angel descends to him from the heavens. How could I not believe he went to Jerusalem and came back in a short period of time--when these are on earth?" At that, the Companion, Abu Bakr, was called "as-Siddiq"--because of how strongly he believed all what the Prophet said.


The blasphemous people questioned the Prophet: "If you are truthful, then describe to us Masjid al-Aqsa and its surroundings." They asked this because they knew Prophet Muhammad had never been there before the previous night. Allah enabled the Messenger to see Masjid al-Aqsa, and he described the masjid and its surroundings in exact detail. Moreover, the Prophet said, "On my way back, I saw some of your shepherds grazing their animals in a particular location. They were searching for a camel they had lost." The Prophet continued by giving the description of the camel. When these shepherds came back, they told their people what happened to them--precisely as the Prophet had already told them.


These blasphemers admitted the Prophet's description was exact. Despite that, They did accept Islam. Only those whom Allah willed to be guided, will be guided. The person whom Allah did not will to be guided, will not believe--regardless of how much explanation or how many proofs he is shown. The person whom Allah willed to be guided, surely he will be a believer. Many people witnessed miracles and believe


 And will gather throughout history from all over for Hajj and Umrah in Mecca

 In clear texts that do not require much thought or interpretation:

 --------------------------------
 5 - He is the Seal of the Prophets:

 That is, his message will remain until the end of time

 In (John 14/16):

 ( And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—) ☝

 And

 As the Gospel of Matthew indicated that he is "the least in the kingdom of heaven"

 Because he is the last in time among the prophets

 In (Matthew 11/1):

 (Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.) ☝
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 6 - It will correct the distorted image of Christ due to the distorters:

 The Holy Quran has corrected the image of Christ

 and cleared Him of the attributes attributed to Him and the distortion of His call, as He described it with the greatest descriptions.

 In (John 15/26):

 (When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.) ☝
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 7 - He will complete the heavenly messages from God to the people:

 In (John 14/26):

 (will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.) ☝

 And

 (John 16/13):


 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 8 - It will come when the world is engulfed in the darkness of ignorance:

 The mission of Muhammad (peace be upon him) was when injustice, tyranny and the darkness of ignorance prevailed over all nations,

 So he enlightened the minds and hearts with the call to monotheism, and liberated the peoples of the earth from tyrants.

 It is stated in the prophecy (Isaiah 60/2):

 (For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people; but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.) ☝

 And

 (Isaiah 42/7):

 (to open eyes that are blind,
 to free captives from prison
 and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.) ☝
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 - His message is universal:

God opened all corners of the earth with Islam and people entered it in droves

including the greatest kingdoms of the earth at that time, the Persians and the Romans.

In (Isaiah 60/3):

(Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✍️ 👁👁 ✍️

Therefore I say to the followers of all religions (Christian - Jewish - Hindu - Buddhist):

And as we have seen with conclusive evidence

Follow me and be patient every time

To see the close relationship that concerns you with Mecca

And judge for yourself in the end

I ask God Almighty to enlighten your insight to return to worshipping God (the Father) alone

For Muslims worship God (the Father) alone, just as the Prophet Christ worshipped the Father alone

In John 17: 3

(Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent..) ☝


 1 - That he is from the sons of Ishmael:


 "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kindred, and will put my words into the mouth of the prophet; the prophet shall tell them all that I command..” ☝

 The expression “their brothers” indicates that he is from the sons of Ishmael, the brother of Isaac.

 If he was from the sons of the Children of Israel, he would have said: “from them.”

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 2 - That he will appear in the land of the Arabs:

 In (Isaiah 21/13):

 " A prophecy against Arabia: You caravans of Dedanites, who camp in the thickets of Arabia" .☝

 And


 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 3 - That he is like Moses:

 The phrase in the Book of Deuteronomy: "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren" (Deuteronomy 18/18)

 It specifies that the prophet referred to is like Moses, peace be upon him

 And the similarity here

 Does not apply to a prophet except to the Prophet Muhammad, and does not apply to Jesus, peace be upon him

 Let's see together:✋ ✋

 A* Moses and Muhammad were born from two parents without a miracle, unlike Jesus. ☝

 And

 B* Both died and were buried after completing the message - unlike Jesus, whom God raised to Him. ☝

 And

 C* Both married and had children - unlike Jesus. ☝
 And

 D* Both formed a nation of believing followers in their time

 Unlike Jesus, whose closest disciples abandoned him. ☝

 And

 H* Both came with a new law - unlike Jesus, who came to confirm the law of Moses. ☝

 And

 And* Both practiced governance, legislation and judiciary - and this was not the case with Jesus. ☝

 And

 As for the fact that the Prophet Moses and Jesus were both from the Children of Israel

 So were many of the prophets of the Children of Israel other than Jesus

 Like Solomon, David, Isaiah, Elijah, Hosea, John, Zechariah and others.

 4 - That he will come after Christ:

 It was said by Christ in the Gospels:

 In (John 16/7):

 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you." ☝

 And

And

(John 3/28):

"You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah but am sent ahead of him.’.'" ☝

And

(John 1/27):

"He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.." ☝

And

(John 14/26):

"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." ☝

✍️ 👁👁 ✍️

Therefore I say to the followers of all religions (Christian - Jewish - Hindu - Buddhist):

And as we have seen with conclusive evidence

Follow me and be patient every time

To see the close relationship that concerns you with Mecca

And judge for yourself in the end

I ask God Almighty to enlighten your insight to return to worshipping God (the Father) alone

For Muslims worship God (the Father) alone, just as the Prophet Christ worshipped the Father alone

In John 17: 3

(Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent..) ☝

شيعية تزعم أن الشيعة على الحق | محمد علي

Death is often a frightening thought, but one that we should not be scared of. When you truly understand death you will no longer have to be scared of it.

When we are able to understand that Allah (SWT) made this Dunya (Arabic for the temporal world) a test for the believers and that this is not our real home; you will truly be able to find peace within your heart. You think that death is scary, but this Dunya is scarier. The reality of this Dunya is that we often excuse our poor behaviour of the neglection of Allah (SWT) due to our worldly responsibilities.

You may be thinking well what will happen after death in Islam . In Islamic tradition, the following is what occurs after an individual passes away. The occurrence is not always as you may expect, and it can strike you at any time whether you like it or not. Allah (SWT) sends his angel Azreal, known as the angel of death, to retrieve the soul from the human. After Allah (SWT) has instructed Azreal (AS) to take your soul, you are then declared dead in the world of the Dunya.

“Allah takes the souls at the time of their death.” 39:42, Holy Quran

After you have died, your family and Muslim community will conduct your Ghusl (full-body ritual purification) and then proceed to your Janazah (funeral prayer) which is a part of the Islamic funeral rituals. After this and many prayers, your body is then buried six-foot underground, alone and by itself.

After some time in your grave, you are then visited by two angels, known as Munkar and Nakir. They are assigned to test the faith of those dead within their graves. When they arrive, they sit you up in your grave and ask you the following: “Who is your Lord? Who is your Prophet? And what is your faith?”.

When this is completed, you have been determined to either rest in peace until the day of judgement or you are severely punished by the angels until Allah (SWT) determines otherwise, until the day of resurrection. You will have now entered the stage of Barzakh, the veil or barrier which stands between two things that are not able to meet. You can easily interpret this stage as a waiting period until the day of judgement, a separation between the living and the hereafter.

“That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind. No! It is only a word he is saying, and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.” – (23:100) the Holy Quran.

The stage of Barzakh is a world similar to this world, but different. The treatment and style of living they receive with the inter-space of Barzakh is a reflection of their deeds and actions performed in the Dunya. It is believed that if the individual was a firm and devout servant of Allah (SWT), they are expected to receive many pleasures during this middle stage. If they have committed many sins or are kafirs (disbelievers), they will face a hard time during this stage.

When Allah (SWT) commands this stage to be over, the day of resurrection will arrive and all of Allah's (SWT) creations will be brought before him to be judged.
Day of Judgement (Qiyamah)

It is not known to man when the day of judgement will occur, however, our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has told us the signs which will occur in preparation for this day. There are many minor and major signs which will indicate that the time is near. The most well-known of them will be the appearance of the Dajjal (False-Messiah) and the return of Prophet Isa (Jesus) (AS).

The day, which will last 50,000 years, is a day in which Muslims spend their whole lives preparing for. All of mankind will come bearing the book of what they did within their lives; all their sins and good deeds will be judged by the ultimate judge.

The day of resurrection is the final test all of creation will have to face before they reach their final destination for eternity, whether that be hell or heaven. In Islam, we believe that we will all be resurrected according to the way we lived and the way we died. Whether that be in good deeds or sins, Allah (SWT) will bring you back to that state.


We pray that Allah (SWT) makes our journey across the Sirat (bridge) to paradise easy and prevents us from falling into the fires of hell.


You have the opportunity before it is too late to seek the right path


God says in the Qur'an



(85) And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.

What Happens to a Person After Death? - Dr Zakir Naik

The calendar year of Islam begins not with the birthday of our prophet (peace be upon him) not from the time that the revelation came to him (Bethat) nor from the time of his ascension to heaven, but with the migration (Hijra) from an undesirable environment into a desirable place to fulfill Allah's command. It was migration from a plot that was set by the leaders of the Quraysh who were plotting to kill prophet Muhammad, and to destroy the truth that today is being conveyed to mankind everywhere against tyranny and injustice. Their purpose was to destroy the foundation of the Islamic state, the Sunnah of the tradition of the prophet, and to prevent the revelation being delivered by Allah's messenger to mankind.


The Islamic calendar is reckoned from the time of migration (Hijra) of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) from Mecca to Madina. The Prophet's decision to migrate from Mecca came after several years of inhuman treatment of the faithful by the powerful tribes who were united despite all their feuds to stop the spread of Islam.

Prophet Mohammad's decision to leave Mecca coincided with the infidel's plan to assassinate him. In 622 AD, the Quresh tribesmen held a meeting and decided that a band of young men, one from each tribe, should assassinate Prophet Mohammad collectively so that their responsibility for the murder could not be placed on any particular tribe.

On the eventful night, the Prophet asked his cousin Ali Ben Abutalib to take his place in bed to make the Meccans think that he was asleep. The Prophet himself slipped out unobserved alongwith his loyal follower Abu Bakr (who was chosen as the first C aliph after the death of the prophet). They secretly made their way to a cave named Thawr, not far from Mecca and lay in hiding there for a day or two until Abu Bakr's son reported that the search for him had been given up. Then the two set out from Madina on camel back. They reached Quba, on the edge of the Madina oasis, on 12th Rabiul Awwal. With Mohammad's arrival in Quba a new phase of his career and glory of Islam started.

This migration has a special significance in the history of Islam. It ended the Meccan period of humiliation and torture and began the era of success. His own people to whom he preached Islam for 13 years neglected the Prophet of Islam. But he was cordially received in Madina as an honored chief.

In Madina his power enhanced day by day. Here he was not only the religious leader but took the role of a politician and statesman too. Prophet Mohammad expired ten years after his migration to Madina but only in one decade he changed the course of human history.

In view of this special significance of the Prophet's migration the consultative body advised the Second Islamic Caliph, Omar ben Khattab, to start the Islamic year from the date of migration of the Prophet from Mecca to Madina.

According to early Moslem scholars, Abu Musa Al Shari drew attention of Omar to an improperly dated debenture or IOU which was payable in the month of Shaban but it was not clear which Shaban was actually meant, the present one or the coming one. Omar called the dignitaries for consultation who made several suggestions to begin the Islamic calendar.

Ali (who later became the fourth caliph) suggested the Hijra as the beginning of the Islamic year with Moharram as its first month. Consequently, Caliph Omar in 21 A.H. or 641 A.D introduced the Islamic calendar in its present form.

QURANIC GUIDANCE

The guidance about the Islamic calendar is taken from the following verses from the Holy Quran: (In the name of GOD most gracious and most merciful)

"Lo the number of the months with God is twelve months." IX:36.

"They ask thee, of new moons. Say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage." II:189.

"He it is who appointed the sun a splendor and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning." X:5

The Islamic Calendar of 12 Lunar Months is determined by observation of the new moon with no effort by intercalation (addition) or other means to synchronize the Lunar year with the Solar year.
