Muhajirun the plural form of the word means: the emigrants. A term used for all those who migrated with their Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Makkah to Madinah. Both words i.e. the singular and the plural were driven from the word “Hajarah” which means to flee one’s country, to migrate, to emigrate. In Quran: He who flees his country in the path of Allah’s religion (Q4:100). Keywords: Al-Muhajir, Hajarah, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
