as salam alykom brothers and sisters
I would like to take the chance and greet u all on the advent of a new Hijra year. Sobhan Allah, time really flew.
however, as we r receiving a new year, do we all know what Hijra is? I guess we all assume it is the physical Hijra going from one place to another just as our dear Messenger (PAPBUH) did upon the command of His Lord. But for those who can not make physical hijra, there is even a more important Hijra to make, Sipritual hijra.
The word hijra in Arabic is derived from yahjur which translates as to abandon. Did u remember to set a goal for yourself to attain on the new year? Did u decide to make a spiritual hijra by fighting to stop something u want to stop?
Before we go on, let us also ponder on this blessed trip and see how many lessons we may derive from it.
anybody interested to join this topic?????
