The goal of the Hijra was to escape persecution. The Hijra refers to the migration of the Prophet Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Medina (then known as Yathrib) in 622 CE. This move was primarily motivated by the escalating persecution of Muslims in Mecca and aimed to establish a safe community where they could practice their faith freely.
