Made the dream come true
The religion Islam emerged among the Arabs almost fourteen hundred years ago but today the followers of Islam are found among the people of various races, cultures and languages all around the world. One of its significant factors is that the blessed companions صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم of the Holy Prophet صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم migrated from their hometowns
