Bismillah!
Al Hamdulillah!
Wa Salatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulillah!
Allah says,
وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
“And those who strive for Us (those who are desperate) – We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good.”
(Sura Anqabut 29:69)
The Inspiration:
It was Sultan Mahmud Fatih, the conqueror, who did the impossible thing that no other military general could even imagine possible!
You only know Sultan Mahmud Fatih conquered the Constantinople. Well, many generals in Islamic history conquered many lands. But what’s the speciality in it?
Well, the speciality of it is that being a general of an army, he didn’t stop or give up when any other general would do.
He just ordered to move 60 ships over the lands, over the hills! Subhanallah!
The day was 22 April 1453.
Those are the days of the Uthmani Khialafah! (Dawlutia Uthmaniah!) (Leaving the issues of become controversial later)
When the Uthmani fleet could not enter the Golden Horn from Bosforus due to the chain across the entrance and the chain was thoroughly observed by the Byzantines, Sultan Mahmud Faith ordered the construction of a road of greased logs across Galata on the north side of the Golden Horn and dragged his ships over the hill, over the night, directly into the Golden Horn on 22 April, bypassing the chain barrier.
Subhanallah!
That’s how the conquest of Constantinople was possible with the permission of Allahu Subanahu Wa Ta’ala.
You would never find this strategy in a manual of warfare, not in the dictionary, not in the tradition of warfare. It could only be found in the act of the extremely courageous ones who don’t want to give up!
Allahu Akbar!
Only the dreamers do the impossible things that the ordinary can’t imagine!
Yes, the dream rooted in the belief in the Hadith that inspired Sultan Mahmud that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam predicted “One day you will conquer Constantinople”
(as narrated by Ahmad, AlBazzar, Al-Tabarani and its men are trustworthy. also narrated in Musnad Ahmad, Al-Hakim, al Jami’ al Saghir.)
And then, what about our Hero Tariq Bin Zyad?
How do we forget his courage FiSabilillah!?
Who in the world could leave no way out from an expedition?
What inspired him to burn his ships once he reached the shore of Spain?
What type of soul could burn the way-out ships when he faces an 80,000 men army with only 7,000 men?
Subhanallah!

The Vision:
These incidents of our glorious history inspired us to think of an ambitious project.
A project that will help the Muslims to make Hijrah possible!
For whoever just has an intention to make Hijrah, this project will support him in many ways.
It will support him to own land as well as secure an earning for him.
That’s the vision that will make the Mass Hijrah easy, En Shaa Allah!
Desperation:
If we analyze what motivated them to attempt the impossible task that they ultimately accomplished by the will of Allah which changed the course of the Ummah!
Subhanallah! It’s the desperation for the cause of Allah, to attain Allah’s pleasure!
So, the core ingredient needed in this project is the desperation FiSabilillah! It will only work for those who are desperately thinking about Hijrah! En Shaa Allah!
As Allah says,
“And those who strive for Us (those who are desperate) – We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good.” (Sura Anqabut 29:69)
May Allah make our Hijrah easy!
May Allah succeed us in our endeavour.
Ameen.
