رَأْس ٱلسَّنَة ٱلْهِجْرِيَّة

The first day of the Islamic calendar year, marking the Hijrah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Makkah to Madinah.

The second Caliph of Islam, Hadrat Umar ibn al-Khattab (Radiyallahu Anhu) رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ, was martyred.

وَقْعَة ٱلْحَرَّة

The Battle of Harrah was a tragic event in which the Umayyad army attacked the blessed city of Madinah. The sanctity of the city of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was violated and many Companions and their descendants were killed. This event is widely condemned by scholars of Islam.

مِيلَاد ٱلْإِمَام ٱلنَّوَوِي

The birth of Imam Muhy al-Din Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi in the village of Nawa near Damascus. Despite living only 45 years, he would become one of the most prolific and beloved scholars in Islamic history, authoring Riyad al-Salihin, the Forty Hadith, the commentary on Sahih Muslim, and Al-Adhkar — works that remain essential texts in Islamic education worldwide.

عَام ٱلْوُفُود

The ninth year of Hijrah is known as the Year of Delegations, when tribes from across the Arabian Peninsula sent delegations to Madinah to accept Islam and pledge allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad. This marked the near-complete acceptance of Islam across Arabia without military conquest, fulfilling the Quranic promise: 'When the victory of Allah comes and the conquest, and you see the people entering the religion of Allah in multitudes' (Surah al-Nasr 110:1-2).

بِدَايَة خِلَافَة عُثْمَان ٱبْن عَفَّان

Sayyiduna Hadrat Uthman ibn Affan (Radiyallahu Anhu) رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ became the third Caliph of Islam after being chosen by the consultation committee (shura) established by Sayyiduna Umar. His caliphate of twelve years is notable for the standardisation of the Quran into a single authoritative text, the expansion of the Muslim navy, and the continued territorial growth of the Islamic state into North Africa and Central Asia.
