"Let every self-regard (introspection) about anything he has done for the day tomorrow (the afterlife),". (Surat al-Hashr: 18).

EVERY 1st of Muharram Muslims around the world commemorate the new Hijri know, the beginning of the Islamic calendar. Hijrah as a monumental event in the history of early Islam as a momentum calculation Hijri Year.

The emergence of the idea of ​​making the "move" as the beginning of Islam appeared in the reign of Caliph Umar ibn Khathab ra. It is based on the consideration of the need to determine the calculation of the Islamic year independently. The idea expressed by Ali bin
Abi Talib, may Allah be subsequently concluded his companions.

Then the Caliph Umar was set move as the beginning of the Islamic year. He makes a new calendar as the development of the Islamic era, because it implies dating spiritual and historical value is very high price for the religion and Muslims, when Muslims left Makkah towards Yathrib (Medina).

Hijra year count is based on preliminary calculations appearing or Qomariyah moonlight, the count begins at sundown at the end of the day before the first of Muharram.

The names of the months of the year are: Muharam (sanctified months), Safar (in the blank), Rabial-Awwal (first spring), Jumad Al-Sani (second spring), Rajab (in praise), Shaban (in the division), Ramadan (the month which is very hot), Shawwal (in hunting), Zul-Qaeda (in rest), and Zul Hijjah (the month of pilgrimage).

Islamic calendar system that does not take the name of 'Year of Muhammad' or 'Year Umar'. That is, no elements of worship someone or protrusion of personification, but taken from the events that became a turning point in the history of the struggles of the early spread of Islam.

Hijrah in plain Arabic meant by "moving from one to another" or "to leave an action" can be understood to be migrated and moved maknawiyah lahiriyah.

First, move lahiriyah meaningful move from one place to a better place, to get a better life and Hereafter. Second, meaningful move. That left an act which Allah prohibited, as corroborated by a hadith narrated by the Prophet Muhammad Imam Bukhari.

People who emigrated it is the person who leaves what Allah prohibited.

Maknawiyah Hijrah is the duty of every believer when and where he was.

In addition to Umar, the person who contributed the Hijri calendar year was Ali ibn Abi Talib. It was he who sparked the idea that the Muslim calendar begins the counting

Hijrah is a strategy to be achieved towards a better life. Hijrah is the momentum journey and struggle for ideals form a civil society, beginning with tightly braided solidarity among Muslims (ukhuwah Islamiyah) between the Emigrants and the Helpers, and eventually merged entity in a pluralistic society and interfaith coexistence harmoniously.

From there why the concepts and lessons move should be reexamined and practiced by religious people and communities. Each turn of the time, day after day until the year after year, usually raises fresh hopes of a better state, the days we've been through should always be better than the previous days.

In other words, the event moved to teach us to be better day by day. Prophet Hadiths are very popular states, "Those who today is better than yesterday, is a lucky man. When the same today as yesterday, meaning the losers, and if today is worse than yesterday, is the wretched ".

At the beginning of the new year Hijriyah this, we can design a life for the better with the move, ie change the bad into good behavior.

According to the Quraish Shihab, one of reflection it is reflected Prophet Muhammad migrated events. Pilgrimage of the Prophet SAW is a form of optimism and move to contain values ​​and civilization. When the Prophet migrated to the city called Yathrib, he explained, he then changed the name of his city to Madinah, the Prophet's where to start a new civilization and new values ​​are inculcated, that is now popular known as civil society.

Optimism shown to be important Prophet of learning when we face a crisis as is the case today. In addition, the togetherness is also one of the keys to success to achieve change.

It was proven that the Prophet was with Abu Bakr was being chased the Qurais, then hid in a cave. later, Abu Bakr was concerned about the safety of the Prophet, and the Prophet said, "O Abu Bakr should not be afraid because God is with us."

Unlike when the time of Prophet Musa, who was also implementing the move. At a time when Pharaoh chased him and his people, Moses said, "O my people, do not be afraid because God is with me.". That's a form of togetherness that taught by the Prophet to his people in the event of emigration.

In addition, the move also taught us about the need for careful planning, hard work and togetherness to achieve a goal. As has been done when the Muslims migrated to madina.

Events moved Messenger has indeed been passed during the 1431 year. But the meaning and spirit of emigration must remain embedded in the hearts and souls of the Muslims. The Muslims should "emigrate" to leave anything forbidden by God leads to obedience to God, as the words of the Prophet Muhammad: "People who migrate are the (left) anything that is prohibited by Allah". (Narrated by Bukhari).
