Najashi - Ashama Ibn Abjar (ra): The Righteous King | The Firsts | Dr. Omar Suleiman 

How much Allah honored us Africans: the first martyr in Islamic Sumaya, the first caller for prayer Bilal, the first leader who was invited to Islam and supported it Najashi. Allahu Akbar.

Proud to be Abysinian ( Ethiopia) for being Ansar (Suporter) for islam

may allah be pleased with you brother omar, i am from abyssinia or modern ethopia , in school we do not learn this way about najashi you helped me so much ,jezakellah thanks

May Allah elevate Najashi in status, rank, and honor, Ameen

I teach the Forerunners series to my students.. They loved it and even my beautiful student cried when she listened to the story of Zaid ibn Amr peace be upon him and they way he died mashAllah..May Allah reward you for each of my student.. Ameen

Wow such a beautiful video by omar suleiman. Wallahi I learned so much. May allah reward you sheikh Omar. You forgot to mention that King Najashi was a unitarian Christian. He didn't believe in the trinity. Thats why there was a huge Civil War between the unitarian and trinitarian sects in Absynnia. Him being a unitarian made his transition to Islam more easy.

The Lion king part blew me up. Didn't know the producer of the movie belonged from Ethiopia, what a great concept brought forth by Imam!

Ethiopia is a cradle of civilization 1400 years ago in Africa when everyone was worshipping idols to have a just intelligent king and the only king to accept Islam when every nation rejected it.makes Ethiopia a unique blessed country.

They plan and Allah plans 😍and indeed Allah is the best of planners😍😍

I'm from Abyssinia I love all Muslims for the sake of Allah. Najashi(we call him Armah) is loved and respected by everyone here

I am Ethiopian keep me in ur dua

Thank you so much for this series. Could you do a video on Khawlah bint al-Azwar in the future, please? I would like to know more about one of the greatest warriors in the Prophet (pbuh) time.

Beautiful beautiful amazing series. May Allah swt grant us to be with this beautiful and beloved to our prophet (swt). May Allah swt bless Yaa Omar, you're definitely an inspiration for the Umaah. Thanks for the reminders.

BarakAllahu Feekum Sir for your efforts ☘️

Thank u soooo much ❤ for making this video even we ppl of abysinia (Ethiopia) most of us don't know the entire story

Such a inspirational series ❣️

Do you now that al nejashi is distroyed by Ethiopia army??? Because they hate Tigray people and Tigray history

Proud to be Ethiopian 💯❤️

Negashi is in Tigray. TIGRAY PEOPLE ARE SO KIND. GOD BRESSE TIGRAY PEOPLE

May Allah S.W.T. Bless you and your work to get me closer to Islam and the history of our Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. Would want this firsts series to be always there on my lists InshAllah to get the context and be in same people of righteous and pious people in Janat Ul firdous Aameen

Mashallah, what a beautiful narration, just when I was looking for info on Nijashi!!. Salute's to Sh Omar Suleiman. Mashallah. I came across a video by a religious traveller who showed nijashis land and now there is a tomb being constructed by the help of the Turkish govt, and this is a tribute to Nijashi, and a great experience for religious tourism. But I need it to be confirmed. Is this true? Plz confirm. Secondly, is Ethiopia a Muslim country? Jazakallah.

Subhan Allah. As always, you are a great inspiration Dr. Suleimane. Listening to this story definitely brought tears when I saw the scene in the Omar series. Simply beautiful!!! Jazak Allahu khairan!❤

A good man he was!

Alhamdulilah, Alhamdulilah ,Alhamdulilah , May Allah Grant you and the members of Yaqeen Institute to jannat-ul-Ferduse.

This is one of the most underated history of Islam. May Allah please with Najashi - Ashama Ibn Abjar RA.

I’m so confused WHO are the people giving these videos dislikes?

Really loves these series

If someone would've told me that a Sahabi convert to Islam by a Tab'ey, I wouldn't accept, but Subhanallah look here, if Allah want something there is nothing by the name of impossible. Dear sisters and brothers always keep praying to Allah. He is the best givers. Thank you so much Shaykh Omar, That you mention the things that rarely people make mention of them. May Allah grant us meeting of our beloved prophet Mohammad PBUH💚

Ya Allah. Please fulfill the wishes of all insan all humanity in this world. Syukur alhamdulillah.

Masha'Allah! May Allah inlarge you Shk Omar Suleiman with abundance of knowledge and aloquence of achieving da'awa.

JezakAllah , I have learned a lot about negashi from this lecture. As an Ethiopian am ashamed to admit I didn’t know all this history. This is not how they teach us in school about this part. Hope one day Ethiopian historians teach the truth InshaAllah.

Subanh Allah Allahu Akbar beautiful Story Jazak Allah khairan Brother 🤲🏼

Wowww najashi had so many similarities with the his decendant the Negus/Najashi Lij Iyasu. Iyasu was friendly towards the Muslims when he reign between 1913-1927. Infact be converted to Islam and this worried some of his generals and bishops in the orthodox Christians church. His sympathy towards Muslims and alleged conversion to Islam lead to his dethronement and imprisonment. May Allah be pleased with Neguses Asmaha and Iyasu.

Alahu akkbar

That's exactly the same time the Somali nation 🇸🇴 or Somali People accept Islam because In Somalia there is a Mosque that has two Qibla till now so it's Obvious Somalis 🇸🇴 revert in the 1st Hijra Great 💪

Yes, MashaAllah Alhamdulillah I was just thinking of this person and was interested to know more. Alhamdulillah barakallahu feekum ya Sheikh. It's just that, this story really resonate with people who gone through some tests. 😔 SubhanAllah. Allah knows better. Also notice how his test is similar to the noble Prophet Yusuf 'alaihi salam with his other brothers from another mother? MashaAllah Allah do not test the people, but that Allah will give them better towards the end because of their patience n Eman. MashaAllah

Ethiopia

Sheekh love the episode as usual but if you ever see this next time in sha Allah just wanted to correct how you pronounced Negus its pronounced phonetically not like english where the u becomes a So its close to “truce” and the e is soft So pronounced Næguus not Niigus Great episode and wonderful way to experience Also what is a good rebuttal for why is your religion in Arabic?

How did you embrace Islam? Amar: A king slapped dakwah directly to my face

,❤️❤️❤️

Nejashi is the word that equivalent to ethiopian language amharic negus ንጉስ which means King.

MashaAllah may Allah increase you in knowledge my brother Omar

Maşallah so beautiful lectures sheik. BarakAllah feekum for the sharing this video's... May Allah swt rewards for you good deed. AMEEN

Mashallah what a just and trustworthy man. May Allah grants you and Nadjashi and all muslims. But I would like to discuss about the status of Nadjashi weather he's a Sahaba or a Tabi'i. For me he's a Sahaba why because -he lived at the time of the prophet PBUH and was a Muslim -he died as a Muslim the proof is that the prophet PBUH pried upon him coffin. And we know that he didn't meet the prophet because of his position as a king he couldn't leave his position of leader. Likewise ome Sahaba did not technically participate in the The battle of Badr but are considered to be among those who're involved in like Uthman ibn Affan, because Uthman had to take care of his sick wife the daughter of the prophet PBUH. The same goes with Najashi. Then Najashi is Sahaba.
