AbdulBary Yahya – Migration to Abyssinia

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh AbdulBary Yahya explores the migration of the early Muslims to Abyssinia (Habesha), drawing rich lessons from the Seerah for Muslims living as minorities in non-Muslim countries today. He examines the strategic wisdom of the Prophet ﷺ, the courage and organization of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib رضي الله عنه before the Najashi, and the Quranic preparation Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala provided through Surah Al-Kahf and Surah Maryam. Key takeaways include the importance of Muslim unity, having a backup plan, thinking globally while acting locally, and knowing how to engage non-Muslims with wisdom and confidence.
