In essence, Hijrah is a process of transfer or change to a better situation.

Once in Madinah, Rasulullah (SAW) and his sahabats, both muhajirin and ansars, transformed the city from a little known desert to the capital of a vast empire. Till now, it is blessed and become important city. During Rasulullah’s time, Madinah was a role model of a perfect city with all public facilities.
