The story of the companions who migrated to Abyssinia with the king of Abyssinia (Negus) lessons and morals

The Story of the Companions Who Migrated to Abyssinia: Lessons and Morals Long before the migration to Madinah, the first Muslims endured severe persecution in Makkah simply because they believed in the Oneness of Allah. Facing torture, oppression, and relentless hostility, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ instructed a group of his faithful Companions to seek refuge in Abyssinia (Ethiopia), where a just ruler, King Al-Najāshī (the Negus), was known for his fairness and compassion. This remarkable migration became the first act of Hijrah in Islamic history and one of the greatest examples of faith, sacrifice, and unwavering trust in Allah. In The Story of the Companions Who Migrated to Abyssinia: Lessons and Morals, readers will discover the inspiring account of those courageous men and women who left behind their homes, families, and possessions to preserve their religion. The book narrates the events of this historic journey, the reception they received in Abyssinia, the famous dialogue between Ja'far ibn Abī Ṭālib and the Negus, and the noble character that won the respect of a Christian king.
