Hijra: Story and Significance (PB)

Hijra: Story and Significance is a timely work in which Dr. Zakaria Bashier gives a moving account of the story of Hijra, a story of endurance and triumph in the face of seemingly insuperable adversity, of idealism and courageous faith in the possibility of a just and free Islamic state. Hijra symbolizes the eternal imperative of Islam: to make the society submit to One God alone. As Muslims stand on the threshold of the fifteenth century of Hijra, Dr. Bashier, stressing the multi-dimensional implications of Hijra, argues for the rebuilding of a fully aware conscience and a truly independent Muslim community.
