The Year of Grief and the Journey Begins

The Prophet Muhammad faced profound personal losses during a challenging period known as the Year of Grief, losing both his wife Khadija and his uncle Abu Talib, which left him without support in his mission. Following this emotional turmoil, Allah took him on the miraculous journey from Mecca to Jerusalem, culminating in the Isra and Mi'raj. Along this journey, he was taken to various holy sites, where he prayed in significant locations like the hijr of Ismail and the birthplace of Isa. This trip not only affirmed his faith but also prepared him for the challenges ahead, symbolizing hope and reassurance during a time of despair.
