When the disbelievers of Makkah begin hurting the Muslims and making it hard for them to worship Allah, our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is deeply upset. He wants them to be safe. He tells them: “Go to Abyssinia. A fair king rules there. No one is treated unfairly. Stay there until Allah makes things easier for you.” A small group slips away quietly and sails across the sea. A larger group follows. In Abyssinia, the king welcomes them warmly. He lets them worship Allah freely. When the disbelievers of Makkah come asking him to send the Muslims back, he refuses. He had heard the words of the Qur’an, and he turned their enemies away. The Muslims were thankful. They trusted Allah, and they knew He would always look after them.
