The House of Migration, (Arabic: دار الهجره) meaning the place of migration, is a title for the city of Medina, given to this city in commemoration of the Prophet's migration from Mecca to Medina."

Terminology

'Dar' means home, dwelling, and city, while 'al-Hijra' means migration from one place to another.[1]

Reason for Naming

In naming Medina as 'Dar al-Hijra,' two reasons have been mentioned: one is the migration of the Prophet (PBUH) and the Muslims to this city.[2] Another reason is that the prophetic tradition manifested in Medina, and from there, it spread to other places, and the power of Islam descended towards Medina.[3]
