In this reflection we explore the spiritual dimensions of hijra—migration undertaken for the sake of Allah. Hijra is not merely a change of place but a passage that refines the soul, brings experience and awakens a higher state of awareness.
A Journey That Matures the Heart
Hijra is described as “fişiren”—a journey that shapes and matures the believer. Those who travel widely gain insight that study alone cannot give; the roads they walk become their teachers. The speaker invites each of us, at least once in our lifetime, to undertake such a migration—moving from one state of being to another so that we may align ourselves fully with Allah’s purpose.
From Sorrowful Departure to Radiant Return
The talk draws a parallel with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), whose departure was marked by sorrow and hardship yet ended in a glorious return to his beloved city. The same pattern is seen in the hijra of Jesus (peace be upon him), who ascended to the heavens. His return, foretold as magnificent, promises an era of dignity and splendor that will last forty years.
Our Prayer for a Blessed Migration
We ask Allah to make us among those who, despite the pain of departure, are granted a triumphant return in divine light. May every step on this path be guided by humility and courage, turning our worldly journeys into lasting blessings.
If you feel drawn to deepen your practice, consider joining our live meetings, where seekers gather for zikr, study and the taking of Bayʿah: Live meetings. May Allah guide us all on this blessed migration.
