The Hijrah was a response to the persecution faced by the Muslims in Makkah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his followers were subjected to intense harassment, torture, and violence by the Quraysh tribe, who saw Islam as a threat to their power and traditions. After receiving permission from Allah, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions set out on a journey to find a safe haven in Madinah, which was then known as Yathrib.
