Description

Facing severe persecution in Makkah, the Prophet Hadrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) ﷺ instructed a group of Muslims to seek refuge with the just Christian king of Abyssinia (Ethiopia), Najashi (Negus). This was the first migration in Islam, with approximately 15 Muslims making the journey. The Najashi later accepted Islam. This event demonstrates the Prophet ﷺ's recognition of justice beyond religious boundaries.
