MECCA, SAUDI ARABIA - NOV. 3, 2025: Seeking to follow the path taken by Prophet Muhammad and his companions during the Hijra in 622, a group of 15 Muslims from different countries have embarked on an eight-day journey from Mecca to Medina. The group, brought together by the UK-based organization “Hijrah Hub,” first visited sacred sites in Mecca before beginning their desert trek, aiming to trace the migration of Prophet Muhammad that marks a turning point in Islamic history. They also visited the Cave of Thawr on Mount Thawr, where Prophet Muhammad and his companion Abu Bakr hid for three days from the Meccan polytheists who sought to kill him during the migration. Retracing Prophet Muhammad’s historic journey with deep emotion and devotion, the group crossed the desert from Mecca to Medina, setting up tents to rest amid windblown sand along the way. Telhat Sultan, who participated in the journey, said that even though they traced the Prophet Muhammad’s migration, they are actually experiencing only a small portion of the hardship he endured. "I felt ashamed thinking that I am following the footsteps of the Prophet, when we've got food there, we know we've got a safe place to sleep. We know that we are safe." After reaching the point where the Prophet Muhammad and Abu Bakr rested under a rock, another participant, Ihtisham Ibrar, said, "I think it was quite profound to be able to sit in that very place where the Prophet rested," and called it a "surreal experience." Fifteen participants from countries including the UK, Scotland, Kosovo, Türkiye, and Saudi Arabia will pass through key points visited by the Prophet and his companions, walking approximately 315 kilometers along the Hijra route.
