The Arabic noun Hijrah literally refers to the act of abandoning or relinquishing. Hence, the derived word Muhaajir, as mentioned in a Hadeeth, is a person who renounces what Allah, The Almighty, prohibited. This is not confined to a certain time or place; anyone who abides by the commands of Allah, the Almighty, and abandons sins, is considered a Muhaajir.
