Abstract

Abstract: The word “Almajiri” is a Hausa language is derived from Arabic “Al-Muhajir” Any one of the early Muslims who had migrated from any place to Madinah during the life time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), before the conquest of Mecca, and also the one who refrains from all things forbidden by Allah. Muhajirun the plural form of the word means: the emigrants. A term used for all those who migrated with their Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Makkah to Madinah. Both words i.e. the singular and the plural were driven from the word “Hajarah” which means to flee one’s country, to migrate, to emigrate. In Quran: He who flees his country in the path of Allah’s religion (Q4:100). Keywords: Al-Muhajir, Hajarah, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
