[MIGRATION TO ABYSSINIA: THE PROPHETIC STYLE OF UNIVERSAL CALLING]
Abstract
During the birth of Islam, the polytheists persecuted the Muslims, those who proclaimed belief in one God and God’s messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This resulted in Prophet Muhammad’s suggestion to them to leave Mecca and seek protection in Abyssinia. The first journey in the history of Islam was the migration of Muslims to Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia). Muslims can reflect on a number of issues concerning the migration to Abyssinia, among them: It is important for Muslims to learn to eloquently interact with non-Muslims in clarifying and enlightening others about Islam. Historians agree that the migration took place on two different occasions. The first one occurred in the fifth year of the Proclamation of Islam in the month of Rajab. The exact time of the 2nd migration is unknown. However, Ja‘farian states that there was only a short gap between the two migrations, because both migrations happened before the Quresh drafted and signed in the 7th year after the Proclamation a document that ordered the Bani Hashim to surrender or they would be subjected to economic and social boycott. Therefore, the time in between the two migrations could not have extended for more than two to three years. Ja‘far ibn Abi Talib’s method of invitation during the 2nd migration demonstrates the importance of leadership and knowledge of Islamic doctrines when coming into contact with a foreign nation. He did not merely invited the Negus to Islam in his speech; rather, he described the Prophet, his character, Islam’s rulings and its effect upon those who were under the influence of the Jahiliyya customs
