Hijra translates as immigration, it is when the Messenger (PAPBUH) by the command of Allah had to immigrate from Mecca to Medina in order to pursue his duty and call to Allah after people of mecca where totally reluctant to respond. During his trip from Mecca to Medina, he had Abu Bakr with him. Before he immigrated he had already given permission to Muslims to go for immigration in order to resuce themselves and their religion.
Insha Allah later this after noon I will write more, give u a link and refer u to the Ayahs in Quran
