One of the most important events in Islamic history is the Hijrah – the migration of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) from Makkah to Madina. This event not only marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar but also changed the course of Islam. During this very critical journey, the Prophet (SAW) was not alone.

The person who accompanied the Prophet (SAW) during the Hijrah was **Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA)**. He was one of the closest companions and a true friend of the Prophet (SAW). When Allah commanded the Prophet to migrate, he secretly left Makkah at night. Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) had already been preparing for this journey, hoping that he might be chosen as the Prophet’s companion – and his wish came true.

They both hid in the Cave of Thawr (Ghaar-e-Soor) for three days to avoid the Quraysh who were searching for them. During this time, Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) took great care of the Prophet (SAW). His love, loyalty, and trust in Allah were extraordinary. Even when the enemies came very close to the cave, Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) became worried, but the Prophet (SAW) calmed him by saying: **“Do not worry, Allah is with us” (Quran 9:40).**

After the danger passed, they continued their journey to Madina where the people of Madina (Ansar) warmly welcomed them. Hazrat Abu Bakr’s (RA) role in this journey showed his bravery, faith, and devotion to Islam.

This Hijrah was not just a change in location; it was a major step in establishing a Muslim society and the beginning of a new chapter in Islam.
