Furthermore, Army Chief of Staff Osama Askar sent a similar cable to the president.
On this day, Muslims celebrate 1445 years since Islam’s Prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him- migrated from Mecca to Medina, to save Muslims from torture by leaders of Quraish, an Arab tribe Muhammad was part of, and to protect the proselytism of Islam from being eradicated by disbelievers at that time.
