Hijra’s association with Islam has its origins in the Prophet Mohammed’s escape from Mecca to Medina in 622, to avoid assassination and preserve his community. He and his followers knew that as long as they remained in Mecca, they would be despised by non-Muslims; their very lives were in danger.
迁徙与伊斯兰教的关系起源于622年先知穆罕默德为躲避暗杀和保护部落从麦加逃往麦地那的旅行。默罕默德及其追随者们知道，只要留在麦加，就会遭到非穆斯林的歧视；他们的生命安全将遭受威胁。因此，在一次迁徙——或者叫迁移行动中，先知离开了他自己出生的城市。伊斯兰教将因此拥有稳固的基础，因为生活在麦地那的穆斯林可以自由地信奉自己的信仰。
