Muhajirun

The Muhajirun (Arabic: المهاجرون, romanized: al-muhājirūn, singular مهاجر, muhājir) were the converts to Islam and the Islamic prophet Muhammad's advisors and relatives, who emigrated from Mecca to Medina; the event is known in Islam as the Hijra. The early Muslims from Medina are called the Ansar ("helpers").
