The emigration of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) from Makkah to Madinah began on a Monday in the early days of Rabi’ al-Awwal in the thirteenth year of his Prophethood. According to Allamah Shibli Nu'mani, most of the historians state that the Prophet’s (PBUH) entry into Quba’ located on the outskirts of Madinah Al- Munawwarah took place on the 8th of Rabi’ al-Awwal, 13H, corresponding to September 20, 622AD.
