| | Hijra (Islam) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Hijra (هِجْرَة), or withdrawal, is the emigration of Muhammad and his followers to the city of Medina in 622. | | | The Muslim year during which the Hijra occurred was designated the first year of the Islamic calendar by Umar in 638, 17 AH (anno hegirae = "in the year of the hijra"). | | | Many writers confuse the first day of the year of the Hijra with the Hijra itself, erroneously stating that the Hijra occurred on 1 Muharram AH 1 or 16 July 622. |

| | HIJRAS OF INDIA: PARADOX AND SURROGATE FAMILIES - www.ezboard.com |
| | Hijra emasculation is "a way to both flee the sexually demanding mother and be reconciled with her," and this is somewhat personified by the mother-daughter relationship of the guru and emasculated chela. | | | This mother-daughter relationship of the guru and hijra is a fascinating one with a religious and social basis. | | | A recurring question among outsiders is why these hijras, "impotent and emasculated men, have this traditional ritual role of conferring blessings of fertility on newborn males and on newlyweds." This may be due to allusions in revered Hindu myths. |

| | The Islamic calendar is reckoned from the time of migration (Hijra) of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) from Mecca to Madina. | | | The Prophet's decision to migrate from Mecca came after several years of inhuman treatment of the faithful by the powerful tribes who were united despite all their feuds to stop the spread of Islam. | | | Ali (who later became the fourth caliph) suggested the Hijra as the beginning of the Islamic year with Moharram as its first month. |

| | Information re the Hijra of India |
| | Hijra (the word is Urdu for "impotent ones") are usually boys and men who were made to be eunuchs -- some of them against their will. | | | For example, "Hijra" (aka Hegira) can mean "Migration," and refer to the prophet Muhammad's journey from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE to set up the first Islamic state. | | | The relatively new (as of 2003) Aravani was popularised in India as a politically correct term to describe members of the third gender, yet it applies more to the devotees of Kutandavar Aravan (India's god of the ali) than those of Bahuchara Mata (the goddess of the hijras). |

| | In accordance with this tradition, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be the Mujaddid of the 14th century Hijra (1883-1979) and a spiritual khalifa of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. | | | In accordance with all these prophecies, several renowned figures in the history of Islam have been recognised by the Muslims generally as being mujaddids of their centuries and spiritual khalifas of the Holy Prophet. | | | By believing him to be Mujaddid, we are not adding any new belief to Islam, but only following Islamic practice as recognised by the Ahl as-Sunna. |

My intention is for Your pleasure and my aim is Islam, If my words do not explain my feelings, bless us with understanding. |
