Pearls from the Seerah: 08 Hijra to Al Habasha

In this episode of Pearls from the Seerah, we continue from the persecution of the early Muslims and learn about the first migration in Islam — the Hijrah to Al-Habasha. The class covers the wisdom of not reacting emotionally, the story of Abu Jahl and the tree of Zaqqum, the command not to insult false gods if it leads to greater harm, and the Prophet’s ﷺ support for justice even when helping a non-Muslim. We then learn why the Prophet ﷺ allowed some Companions to migrate to Abyssinia, the justice of An-Najashi, the powerful speech of Jaʿfar ibn Abi Talib رضي الله عنه, and how Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه defended the Prophet ﷺ when he was attacked at the Kaʿbah.
