	Hijra (Islam) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alternate spellings of this Arabic word in the Latin alphabet are Hijrah, or Hegira in Latin.
		Technically the first Hijra occurred in 615, when a band of Muslims were counseled by the Prophet Muhammad to escape persecution in Mecca and travel to the Kingdom of Axum, which was ruled by a pious Christian king (see Islam in Ethiopia).
		The Muslim year during which the Hijra occurred was designated the first year of the Islamic calendar by Umar in 638, 17 AH (anno hegirae = "in the year of the hijra").

		The stamp issued in 1981 was issued to commemorate the 15th century of the Hegira, Mohammed’s the departure from Mecca in September 622.
		However, Islam uses a lunar calendar and dates from the year of the Hegira.
		So, 1981 in the ordinary calendar is 1401 in the Islamic lunar calendar, and the stamp commemorates the 15th lunar century of the Hegira.

	Hegira, Hijra, Hejira, Hijrah
		Hegira (from the Arabic hijra, which means breaking off relations, abandoning one's tribe, or migrating) refers to the departure of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca in AD 622.
		Hegira or Hejira (Arabic hijrah,"flight"), specifically, flight in AD622 of Muhammad from Mecca to Yathrib (now Medina), both in what is now Saudi Arabia; by extension, the term is applied to any similar flight or emigration.
		Hence, AD622 became 1 AH (anno hegirae) in the Muslim calendar, which Umar systematized in 639.

		Diaspora is associated with the Jewish experience while hegira is rooted in Islamic history.
		Because of Sept. 11 and the terrorist activities of the Abu Sayyaf, many Filipinos may not be inclined to identify with the Muslim experience of the hegira.
		But the Filipino experience is not a diaspora as it was not a forced exile but a journey voluntarily undertaken to escape an undesirable environment or as a means of arriving at a highly desirable destination.

		They wanted to start a new calendar to mark the beginning of their new religion, and they wanted to make it purely and continuously lunar to differentiate it from the solar and lunisolar calendars that already existed.
		They chose to start their new calendar on July 16, 622 A.D. — or, technically, since Islamic days begin at sunset, at sunset on the date the Gregorian calendar calls July 15 — because that was the first day of the lunar year in which the key Islamic event called the Hegira took place.
		The Hegira was Mohammed’s emigration from Mecca to Medina to assert his new religion.

	Hegira by Greg Bear
		The thing has to be hollow.) Instead of public libraries, Hegira has obelisks engraved with all knowledge, from kiddy primers at the base to Secrets of the Universe at the top.
		Such kindness.) From Hegira one can see no stars, though there are strange lights in the sky (would you believe several million similar worlds?); during the book, however, the stars begin to appear sporadically and in patches.
		Simultaneously, the world of Hegira moves into the final stage of its own journey -- for yes, the name is appropriate and Hegira is going somewhere.

		Here in "Hegira", he successfully combines elements of fantasy and space opera in a terse, riveting tale about the life-long search of the secrets behind the obelisks and the enormous world that is Hegira, inhabited by several intelligent civilizations, including humans, who have forgotten their interstellar space travel origins.
		"Hegira" was well worth reading; without a doubt it is a splendid example of Greg Bear's early work.
		It was a mesmerizing and fantastic story with implications that blew my mind (read it about 10 years ago, as a matter of fact, and glad to see new printings coming out).

	Filipino diaspora or hegira? - Dec. 13, 2002
		Whether it was to the United States, to the Middle East, to Canada, Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong or Australia, Filipinos voluntarily chose to leave the Philippines in search of jobs and a brighter future for themselves and their families.
		The proper term to describe the phenomenon may very well be the hegira.
		Hegira comes from the Arabic word "hijrah" or "hijra" which means "flight" or "emigration." Its historical root is the flight of the Prophet Mohammed from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD in order to escape persecution.

	Greg Bear: Hegira - an infinity plus review
		This plot summary makes Hegira sound run-of-the-mill; a book worth passing the time with if ale-quaffing and horsemanship are your scene, but possibly not otherwise.
		The world of Hegira is studded with Obelisks, "an enigma unchanged across the whole history of the Second-born" (which is what Hegira's inhabitants call themselves for reasons which become clear).
		These structures, "a thousand kilometres tall, a kilometre across each side and as perfectly square as anyone could measure," record the histories, philosophies, and sacred texts of the First-Born; because no-one has ever been able to ascend higher than ten kilometres by balloon, only a fraction of what the Obelisks record has ever been read.

		But Muhammad had already prepared his flight and when in the night they rushed into his room, they found Ali, his adopted son, sleeping, or feigning sleep, on his bed.
		The flight (the Hegira) was an adventurous one, the pursuit being pressed hard.
		Expert desert trackers sought for the spoor to the north of the town, but Muhammad and Abu Bekr had gone south to certain caves where camels and provisions were hidden, and thence he made a great detour to Medina.

		Almost three-quarters of a million miles around, Hegira has, against all the laws of physics, Earth-normal gravity; its different races have a common history: all the accumulated knowledge of the First-born, graven on giant Obelisks that rise up out of sight to the sky, beyond mankind's powers to reach and read.
		But as knowledge advances, so the enigmas of Hegira's nature become grew steadily more impossible to explain or to understand.
		The ill-assorted trio who embark on their personal quests know little of their planet's oddities and care less.

		They could still rely on their reputation to achieve diplomatic victories, and on occasion a few hills topped by lines of the remaining soldiers could persuade reluctant leaders, but the March was over.
		For two years now, since the last of their geographers and geometers had finished their reports, Bar-Woten had marched in fear not of man--he had killed at least two thousand men, and they did not haunt him--but of the world on which he lived.

		This sci-fi fantasy by Greg Bear makes for good enough escapist reading, but while it's fairly entertaining and imaginative, it really has nothing else to recommend it.
		As the title suggests, the story follows three men on an extended trek across a vast planet, not so subtly named "Hegira".
		One of the main plot threads focuses on the question of what they're searching for, and what they'll do when they find it, but the payoff doesn't nearly live up to the long journey that precedes it.

		In the year 622, Muhammad immigrated to Yathrib, and the name of the city was changed to Medina, meaning city of the Prophet.
		This date was designated by later Muslims as the beginning of the Muslim calendar, year one of hegira (Arabic hijra, "immigration").
		This emphasis on Muhammad's humanity serves as a reminder that other humans can reasonably aspire to lead a good life as he did.

		Christian Science is not science, and may not even be Christian, but it is definitely dangerous.
		It was also on this date, July 16, 622, by tradition and on the Western calendar, that Muhammad's hegira occurred — that is, his flight from Mecca to Medina (then called Yathrib) in order to escape persecution and found a community of believers.
		History shows the event taking place in September 622, but Islam fixes the date A.H. 1 — for "in the year of the hegira" — at the first day of the lunar year in which the hegira took place.
