The migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Makkah to Medina is one of the most iconic spiritual journeys in sacred history. With the aid of historians, geographers and intrepid adventurers, the exact route of that migration has now been plotted and replicated. 

Dr. Bilal Hasaam, along with 12 others, recreated the journey earlier this year. We delve into history and witness the legacy of the Prophet’s momentous migration brought to life through film and discussion. Following in the exact footsteps of the Prophet Muhammad on the migration route from Makkah to Medina, they visited the same landmarks and locations, mirroring the Prophet’s journey 1,400 years ago.

Experience the culmination of this remarkable expedition with the US premiere of the trip documentary followed by a captivating presentation and conversation with Dr. Hassam.
