📜 The First Migration to Abyssinia

This paragraph discusses the initial migration of Muslims to Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia) during the fifth year of Prophethood. Due to increasing punishments and persecution of Muslims, Allah revealed Surah Zumar, hinting at migration. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) allowed a group of Sahabas, including his daughter and her husband, to move to Abyssinia, led by King Najashi. Despite the Quraysh's attempts to stop them, the Muslims successfully migrated, marking the first historical migration and receiving initial support from a Christian nation.

05:02

✈️ The Second Migration to Abyssinia

This paragraph describes the second migration to Abyssinia involving around 100 Muslims. Despite the Quraysh's increased efforts to prevent the migration, the Muslims managed to escape with Allah's help. The Quraysh sent two men, Amir and Abdullah, to persuade King Najashi to return the Muslims to Mecca by offering gifts and spreading false information. However, the Muslims, represented by Jafar, explained their beliefs and the Quran, impressing the king. The king, moved by the recitation of Surah Maryam, refused the Quraysh's request and offered protection to the Muslims.

🤝 Ethiopia's Historic Support for Muslims

This paragraph highlights the significance of Ethiopia as a safe haven for Muslims. Despite further attempts by the Quraysh to discredit Muslims, including their beliefs about Jesus, Jafar's explanation about Jesus being a servant and prophet of Allah convinced King Najashi. The king appreciated their honesty, supported their beliefs, and guaranteed their safety. This event marked a historic moment where Ethiopia became the first place to offer protection to Muslims, with King Najashi later embracing Islam himself. The paragraph concludes with a call for donations to support Islamic content.

play00:58

sallam heard abyssinia's king

play01:02

negas or najashi who was a very good

play01:05

person and a good christian ruler

play01:09

so the prophet permitted some of the

it was during the month of rajab when

play01:34

one night they secretly started their

play01:38

journey across the red sea

play01:42

when the bad gourash leader heard about

play01:44

their escape

play01:46

they became very upset and started to

play01:48

search for them

play01:51

but it was already late those group of

play01:54

muslims already left the boat to go to

play01:58

ethiopia

play02:00

that journey was very historic

play02:03

since it was the very first migration

play02:07

for muslims

play02:09

so a christian country helped the

play02:12

muslims at first

play02:14

yes

play02:15

muslims got their first help from a

play02:18

christian country

play02:20

after ramadan came several great things

play02:23

happened

play02:24

at that time there was a religious

play02:27

get-together at the ka'ba

play02:30

suddenly muhammad sallallahu alaihi

play02:32

wasallam came and recited surah najam

play02:36

the people were very amazed to hear such

play02:39

beautiful words and sentences

play02:42

formed by

play02:43

allah it was the first time that they

play02:47

were very shocked by the quran

play02:50

usually they disturbed muhammad sallam

play02:54

when he would recite the quran

play02:57

but that day

play02:58

they forgot everything and started to

play03:02

listen to the quran

play03:05

at one point muhammad sallallahu alaihi

play03:07

sallam read surah najam verse 62 where

play03:12

allah said to lower their faith and look

play03:16

down at the ground and accept allah as

play03:20

their god

play03:21

because of allah's command

play03:24

muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam

play03:26

prostrated on the ground

play03:29

after seeing muhammad sallallahu

play03:33

without thinking

play03:36

everyone started to lower their faith

play03:39

on the ground

play03:41

immediately the non-believers realized

play03:44

what they had done was just a mistake

play03:48

they became very embarrassed and upset

play03:52

after that event

play03:55

later after that event

play03:57

people used to laugh at their faces what

play04:00

they had done and that news spread

play04:04

everywhere

play04:05

when the ethiopian muslims heard that

play04:08

good news

play04:10

they thought that the bad quraish became

play04:12

good people so they started their

play04:15

journey to go back to makkah

play04:18

but on their way they heard the real

play04:21

story which was that the quraish

play04:24

actually did not accept islam after

play04:27

realizing that they would not be safe in

play04:29

makkah some of them immediately returned

play04:32

to abyssinia or known as ethopia but

play04:36

others secretly entered into the city

play04:40

after that event

play04:42

the torturing of the bad people got more

play04:46

and more worse

play04:48

when muhammad sallam saw the ethiopian

play04:52

people welcomed the muslims in a very

play04:55

nice way

play04:56

he advised more people to migrate to

play04:59

abyssinia

play05:01

this time it was very difficult to

play05:04

migrate from muslims because the bad

play05:07

people were very careful to stop them

play05:12

but

play05:13

allah's help was with the muslims at all

play05:17

times

play05:18

this time around 83 men and 19 women

play05:24

so around a hundred people

play05:27

migrated to ethiopia

play05:30

alhamdulillah some of the muslims could

play05:33

escape from makkah

play05:35

alhamdulillah

play05:37

but that made the bad quraish

play05:40

very angry

play05:42

so the quraysh sent

play05:44

two very smart men

play05:47

named amir and abdullah

play05:50

since ammar and abdullah were not

play05:52

muslims at that time

play05:55

they wanted to harm the muslims so as

play05:58

soon as they got to ethiopia they were

play06:01

trying to convince the king to make the

play06:04

muslims return to mecca

play06:06

the quraysh thought if they gave the

play06:09

king lots of expensive gifts

play06:13

that they could torture the muslims once

play06:16

they got back to mecca

play06:19

so after presenting all of the expensive

play06:23

gifts

play06:24

they told the king that the muslims were

play06:27

very bad because they rejected to

play06:30

worship the idols and started to worship

play06:33

the one and only god

play06:35

they told the king that the muslims

play06:38

escaped from mecca to avoid their

play06:41

punishments

play06:43

so in order to face their punishments

play06:47

they requested the king to force the

play06:50

muslims to go back with them to makkah

play06:53

the king najashi became confused at

play06:56

first

play06:57

however before making his final decision

play07:01

he wanted to talk with the muslims first

play07:04

as in order of the king the muslims came

play07:08

to meet before him

play07:10

the king asked them why they were not

play07:12

following their family's religion

play07:15

and since ethiopia was a christian

play07:17

country

play07:18

why was it that they did not become

play07:20

christians since they were living there

play07:22

one of the sahaba jafar peace be upon

play07:25

him who was abu talib's son and the

play07:28

brother of ali peace be upon him

play07:30

told the real reasons for their

play07:33

migration he explained why they rejected

play07:36

the stone made idols and started to

play07:38

follow allah's laws

play07:41

and it was only because of that

play07:44

the bad quraish were punishing the

play07:46

muslims in mecca

play07:48

he also explained that the quran made

play07:50

them a better person than before

play07:53

hearing this the king was very

play07:56

interested to hear about the quran

play08:00

jafar peace be upon him was very smart

play08:03

so he started to read some sentences

play08:06

from the beginning of surah maryam

play08:09

the king was so impressed

play08:12

that he started to cry

play08:15

he realized that islam

play08:18

was a true religion of god

play08:22

so

play08:23

he refused the quraish's request to

play08:25

force the muslims to go to mecca so did

play08:29

the bad people leave the muslim alone no

play08:33

amur and abdullah were very upset

play08:36

so they made another plan

play08:38

then went to the king the next day

play08:42

they told the king that muslims don't

play08:44

accept jesus as the son of god

play08:48

king najashi called the muslims again

play08:51

and asked about their beliefs on jesus

play08:54

peace be upon him

play08:55

the muslims were scared because they

play08:58

didn't know what to say about jesus

play09:00

peace be upon him to the christian king

play09:03

in front of them

play09:05

finally they decided to tell what allah

play09:09

and their prophet had taught them

play09:12

then jafar peace be upon him said

play09:15

that jesus peace be upon him was a

play09:18

servant and the prophet of allah

play09:22

he was born in a miracle without a

play09:26

father and his mother

play09:28

mary peace be upon her was not a married

play09:32

woman

play09:32

the king became very happy to hear that

play09:35

and said that they were right about

play09:37

jesus peace be upon him but the priest

play09:40

that was by the king

play09:41

did not like what they said and got very

play09:45

angry

play09:46

the king said that it didn't matter if

play09:48

he was angry or not because the muslims

play09:51

were right

play09:52

the king guaranteed protection for the

play09:55

muslims in his kingdom of ethiopia and

play09:58

returned all of the gifts that the

play10:00

quraysh gave

play10:02

that was a very historic day for the

play10:06

muslims because right then

play10:09

ethopia became the first place that was

play10:13

safe for muslims so did that christian

play10:18

king become muslim

play10:20

yes

play10:21

later that good king became a muslim

play10:24

with allah's blessings
