Hujra

Seeking refuge in Allah and His mercy.

The term "Hujra" has its roots in the Arabic language and is derived from the verb "Hajra," which means to stay, reside, dwell or shelter. In the Islamic context, a "Hujra" is often used to refer to a place of safety and protection, particularly in relation to the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Traditionally, these structures were used as guest houses or shelters for travelers, especially for the pilgrims on their way to Mecca. They served as a gathering place for scholars, students, and spiritual seekers, providing a sanctuary for learning and reflection.
