Retracing With Walk
By Hussin HJ

Bandar Seri Begawan - Some 500 students and teachers from the Brunei Islamic College participated in a 5km walk yesterday to re-live the journey made by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) from Mecca to Medina 1,428 years ago to unify the 'Muhajirins' and 'Ansaris' and lay the foundation for a single brotherhood of Muslims.

To this day, the Hijrah has become a reminder for all Muslims of the need for courage to move forward in the pursuit for success.

The walk was led by the Head Religious Officer of the Tutong District, Hj Mat Zain Hj Muntol. Alongside him were the deputy principle of the college, Ustaz Hj Harridan Omar, and other members of the event's organising committee.

The Hijrah experience came to life as each of the participants put his best foot forward in the spirit of unity and faith.

The walk was flagged off at the college compound and finished further down the road at the Hassanal Bolkiah Mosque.

At the mosque, a thanksgiving prayer was performed to mark the New Year Hijrah 1428. The participants later continued their journeybackto the college. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
