The Prophet ﷺ left behind his city, his home, and nearly everything familiar — all for the sake of Allah.
The Hijrah wasn’t just a move; it was a message: sometimes, growth requires sacrifice.
To let go of comfort. To trust the journey. To walk toward what’s better — even when it’s uncertain.

💡 DO:
As we begin 1447 AH, ask yourself:
– What do I need to leave behind this year?
– What do I need to walk toward in faith?
– And what’s one small step I can take this weekend to start?

It doesn’t have to be dramatic — it just has to be sincere. 🕊️
Because the Hijrah didn’t just change location…
It changed hearts. Let it change yours too.
