The Muslim Migration to Abyssinia
Opening Praise and Testimony
إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ، نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ، وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورٍ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا ، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
Indeed, all praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our souls and from our bad deeds. Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whomever He allows to go astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah alone, with no partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.
O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except as Muslims.
O mankind! Fear your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from him He created his wife, and from them both He created many men and women, and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual rights, and do not cut the relations of the wombs. Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.
O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak always the truth. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed achieved a great success.
أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ، وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَشَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا، وَكُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ، وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ
To proceed: Indeed, the truest speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, and the worst of affairs are the newly invented matters, and every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.
America: The Land of Immigrants
America, the land of immigrants. We know that many Muslims in the 50s, before and after, came to America to, some people, some Muslims came to get educated. They came for education, they came to universities, but you know, a lot of them came with the intention of returning back to their countries, eventually going back to work in their country. But what happened when they arrived here was that they became too over-educated for their own countries, and so they end up staying here.
The Context of the Migration to Abyssinia
Today, we're going to speak about the hijrah of the Muslims to Abyssinia, to Habesha. During the time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, in the 5th year after revelation from the beginning, many started accepting Islam, and during those years, in the middle of the 4th and 5th year, the number of Muslims increased greatly. And so, the Quraysh, the Meccans, also felt very, they felt that this was a threat, and this was a great problem, and one of the ways that they tried to take care of it was to persecute the Muslims, men and women, young and old, and they persecuted them in many ways.
And so the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, because of the great persecution, Allah allowed, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ordered and allowed the Muslims to leave Mecca to Habesha. Habesha was Abyssinia.
Why Habesha Was Chosen
Now why did the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم choose Habesha? Why did he choose Habesha? Well he chose Habesha because in Habesha, there was a king, the king of Habesha, who was known as the Najashi, he was a very just king, and thus the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told them that this was a land in which the people were just, in which the king was just, and that they could find a place where they could settle and worship Allah freely.
Divine Preparation Through Revelation
During this year also, Allah prepared the Muslims, and He revealed Surah Al-Kahf. In Surah Al-Kahf, Allah speaks about the youth, speaks about a group of youth who lived in a very oppressive society, a non-Muslim society, a society in which the king was oppressing them, and so they ran away to a cave, and Allah, by His mercy, took care of them, and 300 years later, 300 years later, they came out of the cave, and everybody had, the whole society had totally changed already. And so, Allah prepared the Muslims by speaking about the youth and the people of the cave.
And also, another surah was revealed to prepare the Muslims for this trip, and that was Surah Maryam, in which Allah informed and told the Muslims about what we believe concerning Isa ibn Maryam, Prophet Isa alayhi salam. And so, Allah prepared the Muslims by revealing these two surahs, and Allah also, by, in the end of the surah, Surah Al-Kahf also, Allah taught the Muslims in the story of Musa and Khidir, when that appearance isn't everything. You might think that there is a loss here, but hidden behind it is a great gain. And so that was another lesson for the Muslims, in preparation for their trip to Habesha, before going to Habesha.
And also, Allah also wanted to promise the Muslims, the believers, in the story of Dhul Qarnayn, that in the end Allah will give this religion to whomsoever He wills. And thus, this was the preparation for the Muslims to go.
Lessons for Contemporary Muslims
And what lessons can we take from some of this, to apply to the times that we are living in right now? First of all, if we are living in a society in which there are Christians and Jews, we have to learn how to speak to them. We have to learn what their beliefs are, and what Islam says to them, and what it says about such beliefs. And that's why Allah revealed Surah Maryam during this time, to prepare the Muslims when they go meet a society of Christians, that they have a background and they can speak to the Christians about Isa ibn Maryam, and the beliefs of the Christians and the people who were in Habesha during that time.
The Migration Begins
So, in leaving, the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم also told the people to leave, and allowed them to leave. The people who left were not just the weak people. They were from all parts of the Quraysh, all tribes and all clans of the Quraysh. Amongst them Uthman ibn Affan radiyallahu anhu and his wife, the daughter of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, Ruqayya radiyallahu anha.
And when they left, they arrived in Habesha, they arrived in Abyssinia. And in Abyssinia, they found a place for them, that the king was just and allowed them to worship Allah.
The Quraysh's Pursuit
But the Quraysh were not happy. They didn't just leave them. So, there's a reason for this. There's a lesson here that we learn, in that the non-Muslims, no matter where you are, they will not be pleased with you, even if you've left the country. And those who are against la ilaha illallah Muhammad rasulullah, they will fight with all and they will go against you with all their wealth and effort to try to take you away from Islam and we know that even though they are in a different place, they weren't even comfortable when they tried to bring them back.
And that's why the Quraysh, they sent Amr ibn As to bring the Muslims back from the Najashi. And so, when he arrived, he also brought the Muslims very precious gifts and presents. And one of the greatest things, one of the things that they loved, and one of the things that Mecca was known for. You know, like nowadays we have, if you speak about electronics, what country do you think of? Japan, right? We're speaking about maybe cheese, what do you think of? Switzerland or Wisconsin or France or something like that, right? If you're, or watches, you'd say Switzerland, right? Swiss watches. But in Mecca during that time, what was Mecca known for? What did they have that people liked? They had leather goods.
And so these leather goods that they had was something that was, you know, valued during that time. It was coming, especially if it was coming from Mecca, especially when it was coming from Mесса.
Amr ibn As's Strategy of Bribery
So, Amr ibn As, he came to, before speaking to the king, before speaking to the king, he went individually to the leaders and the ministers who were around the king. And he tried to speak to them. He tried to speak to them and convince them before he would give them presents. And he told them, he said, listen, tomorrow, you know, this is bribery. The method of bribery was used here. He tried to bribe the ministers who were around the king.
And the main thing that they really wanted to do, Amr ibn As, what he really wanted to do was not allow the king to speak to the Muslims. And so he told them, he told the people, the ministers and the people around the king, if, if I meet the king tomorrow, when I ask for them to be brought back to Mecca, tell them that, you know, our people know, their people, the people in Mecca, they know these people better than us, better than the king. So, just return them back to them. And in other words, you know, do not listen to the Muslims.
The Lesson of Media Silence
And so, this is another, another lesson that, you know, as Muslims, as Muslims, when we speak, right, when the, you know, our side of the story sometimes gets watered down or gets blacked out totally. And they don't want to hear the Muslim side of the story. And that's why when you see the news and anything that happens, you look at the news, you will never see in the news, in the media, anything showing that Muslims are suffering. Even though they might be suffering very gravely, they might be in very difficult situations, but try to look in the news for just pictures or, you know, videos that show Muslims suffering. They won't show that at all. You won't see that. Why? Because if they see it, it might change the public opinion.
And so, you don't want anything, they don't, they don't, they don't want that. So, from the beginning, Amr bin Aas, during this time, he wasn't Muslim, he didn't accept Islam yet, but he, so he tried to make sure that the king did not speak to the Muslims.
The Justice of the Najashi
Now, the king, though, was very just. The king, though, was very just. And the Muslims that went, they were in, the person that was in charge was Ja'far ibn Abi Talib. Ja'far ibn Abi Talib. Now, Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, radiyallahu anhu, whenever, you know, whenever there was any problems or discussion, of course, he was their leader. And anything that happened, of course, he was the spokesman.
The Importance of Organization and Leadership
And this is another thing, another lesson that we can take and learn from the Muslims in Habesha. And that is, the Muslims in Habesha, they were organized. And when something happens, they get together and consult. And so, that's why when Amr bin Aas came, Ja'far ibn Abi Talib gathered the Muslims and he spoke to them. He said, you know, what should, and they were discussing what they should say to the king before they met him. And when they decided, of course, to just tell them, tell the Muslims, tell the non-Muslims, or tell the najashi, the truth. You know, don't try to water anything down like that. Just tell it the way it is, in the best way possible. Tell it the way it is, in the best way possible.
And so, when it was time to speak, when it was time to speak, it was Ja'far ibn Abi Talib that spoke for the Muslims. What lesson can we learn from this besides organization? Why are we speaking about this situation in Habesha? It's because these people, they are living in a non-Muslim country. Non-Muslim country. Just like we are now living in a non-Muslim country.
And some people, you know, they don't realize the importance of organization, and having leadership, strong leadership. And when somebody comes and speaks about Islam, you know, if you don't know something, don't just blabber. If the media comes to you and so forth, tell them to speak to people who have knowledge. And tell them to speak to people who know about Islam, and who can say things properly. Because, you know, they can use these words in the media against the Muslims, and it might be just a very, very ignorant Muslim, who doesn't even know what he's saying. But the thing is, they don't understand that this is an ignorant Muslim, or this is a scholar, and they will use this.
And so that's why if you're approached, you don't know, just avoid them and don't say anything if you don't know. And tell them to go to people who do have, who can speak. So as Muslims, we should be united in this term, in this matter. When something happens, when something big happens, the leaders should get together and unite and choose a spokesperson to speak on behalf of the Muslims. That they should at least know, you know, give the correct opinion and correct point about Islam, and let the other people know, the media know. Because we're living, you know, living in a non-Muslim society like such, this is what, this is a lesson that we can take from the situation here.
Amr ibn Al-As's Accusations
And so the messenger, you know, so Ja'far ibn Abi Talib radiyallahu anhu, Amr ibn al-'As, the first thing that he said, the first thing that he said to the king was, he said, indeed, these people, these people have come, they are the youth and the fools in Mecca, of Mecca. They are the youth and the fools of Mecca. They have left our religion, and they haven't entered your religion. They are not part of us, and they are not part of you neither. And in other words, he's trying to say, these people are not like you, and they have left us, rebelled against the ways of their forefathers, and we know them better, so let us take them back to Mecca. Let us take them back to Месса.
And so when Amr ibn al-'As, of course, before even approaching, he had already given them, given the najashi very nice and fine leather. And the najashi, because he was just, he said, you know, I'm not going to do anything until I hear from them.
Ja'far's Eloquent Response
And so he asked the Muslims to speak, and again, who came up? It was Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, their leader, in Habasha. And he said, when he asked him, he said, what's this, what's your issue, what's your affair, and what is it that is going on, and what is it that you worship, what religion is it that you follow?
And so Ja'far ibn Abi Talib tells the najashi, he says, indeed, we used to worship statues and idols, and we would eat dead animals that were not slaughtered properly. Notice some of the things that he says. He says, we immediately, he's mentioning the things that also the Christians, that is also against the Christian religion. Of course, the Christians don't worship idols, but idol worshipping is not permissible in Christianity or Judaism or any of the deen that has been revealed by Allah. And so he knows this.
And so what he's doing is starting with things that they have in common. So he says, we used to worship idols, and we used to eat animals that weren't slaughtered properly. And of course, the Christians during that time, they also slaughtered their animals, and they had rituals and slaughtering just like we do. And we would go and commit fornication and adultery. And also we would cut relations with our relatives, and we would harm people. And you know, the nobles, the rich people would harm the weak, and so forth.
And so, and then Allah sent us a prophet, a messenger, who ordered us to stay, to worship Allah alone, and to leave worshipping of statues, and to enjoin relations, and not to harm people, and he ordered us to do good. And so, Allah gave us light, and gave us this religion.
The Recitation of Surah Maryam
And then Najashi then asked Ja'far ibn Abi Talib to recite of that which has been revealed. And so Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, he recited Surah Maryam. And so, when he recited it, then Najashi, because of his clean heart, he said, he cried upon hearing it. He said:
"Indeed, this and that which Isa came with emerge from the same source."
He said, indeed, this is the same source. This, in which he has just recited, is coming from the same source. This is coming from the same source. And so, Najashi left them alone. And they went.
The Second Attack: The Question About Jesus
But Amr ibn al-As, radi allahu anhu, this time he wasn't Muslim, but Amr ibn al-As, he went back and started reflecting. And he said, you know what, I have something that will take care of the Muslims, once and for all. And so he approached the Najashi again. And he said, do you know what they say about Isa, about Jesus? Do you know what they say about Jesus? And do you know what they say about Jesus? And so he asked them, what did they say about Jesus? And so, Amr ibn al-As says, ask them what they say about Jesus.
Because he also, he's also, he's very, he's a very smart person politically also. He's a very eloquent speaker. At the same time, he knows what to say. And so the Najashi the next day called the Muslims back out again. And the Muslims again, when all of these things are happening, they're scared. But they're always consulting with their leader. And they're always consulting upon what to say. And Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, radi allahu anhu, every
single time he says, you know what, we're going to tell them just the way it is. In other words, whatever the Prophet ﷺ has taught us, whatever's in the Qur'an and Sunnah, then that's what we're going to tell them.
Holding Fast to Islamic Teachings
And so as Muslims also, whatever we have, you know, in the Qur'an and Sunnah, when we're in situations like this, we seek the best ways to say it the best way. But at the same time, you don't need to water down and change. And, you know, change what we, you know, change the words in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. And so the Najashi called them again the next day. And he asked them. And again, he said, he recited the ayats, of course, you know, the ayats of Surah Maryam and telling him what Isa ibn Maryam was.
And at that, of course, the Najashi told immediately, you know, afterwards, he told them, after saying that, after knowing that the Muslim, what the Muslims say about Isa ibn Maryam, that he is only a servant and that, you know, they also, the Muslims also believed, believed in the, in the miracle birth of Isa alaihi salam. And he left them.
Finding Common Ground with Christians
So as Muslims, when we're living in a society, we are contacted by non-Muslims. How should you, what's the first thing that you should speak to them about? You look for the things that we have in common. Look for the things that we have in common. For example, if they're going to speak to you about Islam or speak to you about, you know, ask you about Islam, one of the things that you can say to them immediately is say that, you know what, not a single Muslim, a Muslim is not a Muslim until he believes in Jesus. So no Muslim is a Muslim until he believes in Jesus.
And then a lot of people don't realize, and they don't realize that Muslims believe in, you know, there are a lot of ignorant people out there.
A Personal Story: Dawah on the School Bus
Like, you know, I remember on the bus one time when I was in high school, I was reading, you know, I was memorizing, I'm reading the Quran. And you know how, you know how when you read the Quran, I didn't really read silently because, you know, they had, sometimes they would bring like boom boxes in the back and they would have rap music, things like that. And I would try. It was very difficult, but then they had that. And then I would just read the Quran. Like read, and the people, not really loud, the people close to me would be able to hear, like was this chanting and humming that you're saying. And so it gets their attention. And then immediately they try to talk to me.
I said, you know, I can't talk to you. You guys are opening up, turning on all this rap music. I can't just turn it off right now. And so like the whole bus is listening. And first thing I started to read, I actually started to read Surah Maryam. And I tell them, you know, every single Muslim, every single Muslim has to believe in Jesus. And any
Muslim who doesn't believe in Jesus is not, is not a Muslim. And then they go, oh, I thought you guys, I thought you guys worship Muhammad or some God name. I don't know what it is. Allah or something like that. No, we worship the creator, the same God that sent Jesus as a prophet and messenger. And so, you know, during this time, the whole bus was listening.
But you know what, there are some Muslims on the bus. And you know, the worst, what the worst part of it, many of those Muslims were embarrassed. Like they were embarrassed. Like they were trying to hide their faces. They say, I'm not associated with this guy. You know, it's like they're embarrassed. Like many of the, you know, this is in high school. So they're, they don't want to say, well, this guy's weird. I don't, I don't, I don't know this guy, you know? So I realized I was looking around and I was, I'm seeing them that they, they're turning away.
Speaking the Truth Without Fear
But you see, as Muslims, you know, we have the truth. And when you have the truth, you shouldn't be shy and bashful to speak about it. Shouldn't be shy and bashful to speak about it. The only people who are shy and bashful or afraid are those who are lying. When you lie, you should be afraid, but you have the truth, you shouldn't be afraid. And so the lesson, when he was on that bus, many people on that bus, nothing happened on that bus on that day.
But you know, after I graduated from Medina, I came back, I think a couple, about seven people from that bus became Muslim. I realized later on. And one of the people that said, I still remember the situation. This one, this one girl in the back, in the back, she was like very, she was like very famous because her brother, her brother was a great, big rapper. Like I think this is her brother was like, I forgot his name. I don't know if you guys, this is old times, right? You guys, anyways, if you don't know, it's better for you anyways.
Anyways, people really respected her, you know? And she said, you know what? I would accept Islam, listen, I would accept Islam, but you know what? I can't leave bacon in the morning. Well, it's good. Like you know how they're speaking, right? I can't be leaving that bacon in the morning. I got to have bacon for breakfast. Then I said, I asked her, I said, is bacon really good? You know, I haven't had bacon. Yeah, it's good. It's the grub. This is what they used to use, right? It's the grub. And so, so I told her, you know, it's so good. It's really good. But would you trade, would you get, would you, if you, Allah, if you were to be given paradise or leave bacon, what would you do? Would you leave bacon for that? She says, yeah, if I promise I'll be in paradise. Well, maybe it's so good that it's a test for you. You leave it, you have paradise.
And so, and so this is what I said to her. I don't know what happened to her, but some of the other friends who are with me, someone like, there were like two, two others, two or three others who are on the football team that they later on, they accepted Islam. I know, I know them personally. And, you know, but, you know, sometimes you just leave a seed. You're not, you just do whatever you can and live as a Muslim in the society. Don't try to
hide things and don't try to say, you know, this and that, but be educated about the society and be smart and be wise.
The Strategic Vision of the Prophet ﷺ
And that's why Allah revealed Surah Maryam for the Muslims before they left, so that they can learn. And also the non-Muslims, when the Prophet ﷺ went to Habesha, this was something, it wasn't something that is, you know, this took an innovative mind, a very innovative mind to think of this. I mean, to let the Muslims cross the sea to go to a far away land, to go to a far away land and cross the sea, all the way to Habesha. This was something very innovative. And as a Muslim, you have to think very far when it comes to da'wah. Don't be shortsighted.
The Prophet sent the Muslims to Habesha. Some people think it's just, it was just to escape persecution. It isn't, it wasn't just to escape persecution. It was part of the strategy of da'wah. If it was just to escape persecution, after the hijrah to Medina, the Prophet ﷺ would have ordered all of them to go back to Medina. But no. There are groups of Muslims, the Muslims were still, many Muslims were still in Habesha, even during the Battle of Badr, during the Battle of Uhud.
And it wasn't until the seventh year, until Khyber, until the time of Khyber that the Prophet ordered, until after the victory in Khyber, that the Prophet ordered the Muslims to come. And it wasn't until that time that Ja'far ibn Abi Talib came back to stay with the Messenger of Allah. And that's why he said, I don't know what I'm more happy of, whether it's the victory at Khyber or the meeting of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib.
The Backup Plan Strategy
Why did the Prophet leave the Muslims in Habesha for all those times? Why? Because this was the backup plan. This was the backup plan. If Medina, for some reason, you know, wasn't so successful, you would still have some Muslims. And if something happened to the Muslims in Mecca, there were still some Muslims in a different land that were free to worship and could carry the message still. So as Muslims, we should think far. We shouldn't be short-sighted. We should think far. And we shouldn't just think about, you know, our local area only. You know, you start locally, but think globally. Start in your area locally, but think globally all the time as Muslims.
And that's why the Prophet, he even, he was always thinking about the well-being of the people there. And that's why when Umm Habiba, when she came back and she came to Medina, the Prophet married her because she had lost her husband. And the Prophet was always asking about them. So as Muslims, you work, we know that all Muslims are brothers. We work locally. Do as much as we can, but we're always thinking globally also. Thinking about the Muslims all over.
Planning for Future Generations
And, you know, think not just about yourself, but also the generation that will come later on afterwards. And also, every time you have a plan and do something, always have a backup plan. Like the Prophet, when he sent them to Habesha, this was the backup plan also.
Making the Best of Your Situation
And so, in America, when we're living in America, a lot of us, we are here. We have come here. We left our countries. It might be due to persecution. A lot of us, we want to, you know, come back. Many of us, we're thinking about returning back to our countries. And many of us, we want to stay. But the reasons, you have to understand also, sometimes it doesn't really matter. You have to think, wherever you are, wherever you are, try to make the best of the situation that you have.
And ask Allah جل جلاله to put you in a place where you can benefit and you can benefit others. You can benefit and you can benefit others. Not any specific place, but you can benefit and benefit others.
I remember, you know, when I was in Medina, I didn't want to go back to Cambodia or Vietnam at all. I mean, this is a very poor country. They don't have any bathrooms or anything like that, you know. And their houses, they just go to the river. It's very poor. And it's like, I remember reading when I was there at that time, you know, the condition is a lot better now.
But the average salary for some of the villagers was like $36 a year. I'm not talking about a month. The yearly annual salary is $36, which is what some of us make in an hour or two or just a couple of hours here. That was like the whole year. It's enough for the whole year. They had that, you know, and they worked whatever they did. It was enough for them. And so, it was a very poor country. And I didn't want to go, you know, I didn't really want to go back.
But, you know, one of the du'as that I always made, Ya Allah, it doesn't matter where I am. It doesn't matter where on earth you put me. But put me in a place where I can benefit and I can benefit other people also. You know, ask Allah to benefit other people also. And Allah sent me all the way down there. Alhamdulillah, there was a lot of da'wah projects and things like that that were started. But, you know, in your heart, sometimes you don't really want it. And so, sometimes you might be here. And it might be difficult. But you have to understand, we are at the forefront of the Muslim ummah, Muslim ummah, da'wah Muslim ummah right now. We're at the front line when it comes to da'wah.
Lessons from the Fiqh of Minorities
And so, there are many lessons, you know, that we can learn and take, insha'Allah. And many of the people, many of the Muslims, many of the scholars, you know, they didn't elaborate so much on fiqh of the minorities. The scholars, you read the books of fiqh, you know, they didn't like to speak about things that were hypothetical
too much. And they didn't face many issues related to living with non-Muslims, because many of them were living with Muslims. Even though these issues were covered, but they were not elaborated. And so, this is an area that's very much needed.
And we have many lessons from the seerah of the Prophet ﷺ, especially the time in which the times, there are many interactions with non-Muslims. And sometimes the non-Muslims were helping the Muslims. Like when, you know, like his uncle, Abu Talib. And also the Muslims from Bani Hashim and Bani Abdul Muttalib from his own clan. Even though they weren't Muslims, they still stood together with the Muslims when they had the sanction against the Muslims. When the sanction came, but they stood together with the Muslims.
Treating Non-Muslims with Justice
So, how do you think that those people, you know, in the mountain pass, who are with the Muslims, Muslims every time they looked at them, just because they're not Muslims, they like, you know, scolded them and looked badly towards them. Like, you know, some Muslims nowadays. And, you know, how did the Prophet ﷺ treat Muslims, non-Muslims, who were good to the Muslims? How did they treat them? And so, there are many lessons we can take from. Inshallah, we're going to elaborate more on the lectures to come.
Closing Supplication
And with that, inshallah, Allah (جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ) we ask Allah (جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ) to teach us that which benefits us and benefit us from that which He has taught us.
And may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions. May Allah reward you with goodness.
