The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, \u201cAfter the conquest of\nMecca, there is no more hijrah, but there remains jihad and intention\u201d\n(Narrated by Bukhari).<\/p>\n
The Islamic New Year is a crucial moment for us, the followers of\nProphet Muhammad, to introspect. Have we truly undergone a hijrah? Are\nwe better today than we were yesterday?<\/p>\n
Thus, more important than merely commemorating and celebrating the\nIslamic New Year with various events is looking within ourselves. What\nhave we done, and what will we do to become better?<\/p>\n
In the above hadith, the Prophet indicated that hijrah, in the sense\nof an exodus from one place to another for specific reasons\u2014like the\nmigration he and the Muslims undertook from Mecca to Medina, and earlier\nto Abyssinia\u2014no longer exists in that form. What remains is jihad and\nintention.<\/p>\n
Jihad linguistically, as written by Yusuf Qardhawi in his book Fiqh\nJihad, means exerting all effort, ability, and energy. Meanwhile,\nintention linguistically means qashd, which is a desire, will,\naspiration, and hope for something.<\/p>\n
The word jihad in the Qur\u2019an is usually accompanied by the phrase fi\nsabilillah, meaning in the path of Allah. This signifies that jihad must\nbe within the corridor of Allah\u2019s teachings and oriented towards\nobtaining His pleasure.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/the-hijrah-mindset-1781837730", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
