Muhajir, displaced during the Balkan Wars , crossing the Galata Bridge in Istanbul in 1913

As muhajir ( Arabic مهاجر, DMG muhāǧir  'emigrant, emigrant'; mostly plural al-Muhajirun  /المهاجرون / al-muhāǧirūn ; from hajara  /هاجر / hāǧara  / 'emigrate'), certain historically significant groups of emigrants and refugees are used in the Islamic world :

• The Muhādschirūn are the companions of Muhammad who participated in the hijra in 622 .
• Crimean Tatar refugees emigrated or were expelled after the Russian annexation of the Crimean Khanate (1783) or the Crimean War (1856).
• Caucasian refugees, especially Circassians , emigrated to the Ottoman Empire after the Caucasus War in 1864 before the Russians and settled in Turkey.
• The Muhacir are Bosniaks and other, especially Slavic Muslims , who also fled to Turkey after the collapse of Ottoman rule in 1878 and settled in Anatolia .
• The Muhajir in Pakistan are Urdu -speaking Muslims who fled after the partition of India in 1947 and the associated civil war-like massacres from the predominantly Hindu India to the newly founded Muslim West Pakistan. To this day, the Muhajir represent an influential population group, especially in Karachi .
