Abstract
This meeting is a celebration. In a very special sense it is a birthday celebration. Not of the Qur'an, for the Qur'an for Muslims is uncreated, but of the Muslim community which made its debut on the stage of world history in September 622 when Muhammad and his followers migrated >r from Mecca to Medina, and was welcomed there by a group of other communities as an arbiter and as a leader; an occasion so important, that almost immediately it was recognised as establishing Year One of a new, a Musiim era.
