The speech of Jafar ibn Abu Talib moved me so much. May Allah be pleased with Jafar & grant him Jannah.

Episode 17 Notes: Second Migration to Abyssinia After the Muslims of Abyssinia returned to Makkah. They began seeking new protection since, they had lost it all after they left. The Abyssinian Muslims stayed in Makkah for a short period of almost a month before, deciding to go back to Abyssinia. But, a lot of the Muslims who hadn’t previously immigrated, heard how life was better in Abyssinia. So, this time more than 80 Muslims left for Abyssinia. This was almost 30-50% of all the Muslims at the time. However, not all of the Muslims from the first migration left during the second migration. Some like Uthman ibn Affan RA remained. When such a big amount of people migrated to Abyssinia, the Quraysh sent a delegation to Abyssinia. The delegates visited each of Najashi’s viziers, in order to bribe them to agree with them, over the Muslims, when they meet with the Najashi. The Quraysh met the Najashi and gave him gifts and asked him to return the Muslims to them. Najashi requested the Muslims come and tell their side of the story before, he makes his decision. The Qurashi delegation prostrated before the Najashi out of custom but, the Muslims didn’t and this made the Najashi ask questions about Islam. This led to, Jaffar Ibn Talib RA giving an eloquent speech and reciting the introduction of Surah Maryam which, persuaded the Najashi into siding with the Muslims. Najashi told the Qurayshi delegation to leave. But, the delegation had told the Najashi to ask the Muslims about their position on Jesus. So, Jaffar RA told him the Islamic stance of Jesus AS. Najashi agreed with the Muslims stance on Jesus and then told the Qurayshi delegation to get out. The Muslims stayed in Abyssinia until late the 7th year of the Hijrah. Years later, the Najashi admitted his Islam to the Prophet SAW via a letter and Najashi later died. When he did, Jibreel AS told the Muhammad SAW of Najashi’s passing and the Prophet SAW led the only Janazah in his lifetime, without a body being present. The Prophet SAW only did this because the Najashi was a secret Muslim and no one In Abyssinia would do Janazah for him because they did not know of his Islam. Fun Trivia fact: Najashi is just a title and the real name of the King was Ashama. Fun Trivia fact: Abu Bakr RA due to the terms of the Quraysh, was the first one to build a public masjid in his house. He used to recite Qur’an very melodiously to the extent that the women and children would gather outside his house in amazement. Fun Trivia fact: Muharram is a sacred month to the extent that Aisha RA said the Prophet SAW never fasted so much, in any month that isn’t Ramadan, except Muharram. Muharram was the month when Musa AS was saved from Firaun and it’s the month when Nuh AS landed on Mount Judy. Also, it is the month when the events of Karbala took place. Fun Trivia fact: Fasting on 10th of Muharram forgives the minor sins of the previous year. Fasting on the 9th and 10th of Dhul Hijjah forgives the minor sins of both the previous and upcoming year. ========================================================== Disclaimer for my Notes of Sheikh Yasir Qadhi’s Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Series: Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, these are my notes on Sheikh Yasir Qadhi’s Seerah series. Please note: I HIGHLY recommend that you all watch YQ’s Seerah series, as I DON’T cover every single detail the Sheikh mentions. I made these notes primarily for myself but, decided my fellow brothers and sisters may benefit from them too. I no doubt will have made mistakes in my notes. All the good in these notes is from Allah SWT and all the mistakes are from myself. But, I was very meticulous and tried my best to make sure everything is accurate as the Sheikh mentions it. You also will see I have added “Fun Trivia facts” under each of my notes. These FTFs are information YQ said that was off topic or not necessary to include in my notes for the episode. But, they were still worth mentioning hence the inclusion as FTFs. FTFs aren’t always HAPPY pieces of information. Sometimes they are very sad trivia. I just want to say that FTF is the phrase I used for them all collectively when making the notes. One thing I wanted to do but am too lazy to do is, maybe someone could take the FTFs from under each “Episode” and make an Islamic reminder/information IG/TikTok account and post them daily or something. Could be a great form of Sadaqah Jaariyah. Please keep me in your Duas and ask Allah SWT to forgive all our sins during this blessed month and beyond! Ameen

We can't thank Allah enough for making us Muslims.

Labeed's poetry reminds me of the verse in Surah Rahman, "everything on earth is bound to perish, but the Face of your Lord, full of Majesty and Honour, will remain." Am I the only one?

The best sirah series ever ...please publish this whole series in book form In’shalla it would be a definitive sirah even with all the excellent side journeys....jazakallah for this excellent sh...

This my second time i'm watchin this series, i recommend bro's & sisters for you to do the same because you'll understand the Seerah much more than 1st time around. Big thanks to Brother Qadhi for ths inspiring series on the Prophet (pbuh) . May Allah (swt) be pleased with all of us Muslims.

Aslm we r learning lots from SHEIKH Yasir Qadri ALL PRAISE be to ALLAH

I was thinking about the hijab and especially wearing it in a western land while he was speaking about the abbysianian incident. It is like he read my mind and mentioned the hijab as an example.

jafar's speech

jazaka Allah Khair, I love shaikh yasir qadhi for the sake of Allah.

MashaAllah. Jazaka Allah khairan shaikh for the beneficial lecture. I Love the way he explains everything step by step 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Subhanallah. Wonderful lecture

SubhanALLAH! Made me laugh Alhamdulillah! 'Once upon a time, believe it or not, Politicians were smart people!' 🤣 Sadakta! You have spoken the truth! Oh Yasir Qadhi!

Great thing about Sunnis is that we love all Muslims of Sahaba and Aal Al bait ( e.g. Jaafar Al Safiq ) radi'ya Allahu Anhom.

SubhanAllah 150.000 Views. So many people profit from you Sheikh. May Allahs reward be as big as Uhud and even infinite times more

JAZAKALLAH KHAIR

Love you for the sake of Allah - from SAUDI ARABIA.

আলহামদুলিল্লাহ.... আল্লাহ আপনার জ্ঞান কে আরো বাড়িয়ে দিন।

May Allah give you highest reward for helping me learning about my religion

Amazing series, so beneficial mashaAllah. Please research the number of people in Mecca. No more than a thousand people in Mecca? 2 thousand men joined the Prophet after the Fath before going to Hunain. That's just the battle-ready men, forget women, children, seniors, slaves, etc. What I remember reading in MM Azami hadeeth studies was that Mecca had 60,000 people and only 17 could read/write. Allah knows best.

May Allah subhannahu WA ta'allah be pleased with you brother! Thank you for everything. I know it's more than 10years since you did this however, I think you should have indicated more that Abyssinia is Ethiopia. The world needs to understand better the role Africa and Africans played in the early days. And how Africans were never Racists, tribalists and have been of common sense and great Hospitality. Alhamdulilah for Islam and we glorify Allah for making us a Muslim. May Allah be pleased with us all. Ameen

Jazakallah khair Sheikh

Assalaamu alaikum brother Yasir, Jazak Allah ta'ala khair for this very informative and well presented seerah of our beloved Prophet (saws). Just one thing slightly confusing and this is not to put you on the spot, it is just have more understanding. You say at 30 mins through the lecture that the population of Makkah would have at very most would have been 1,000. What I find confusing is that how id the Makkans muster a 1,000 strong army for Badr? Surely the population should have been say 3 to 4,000? May Allah ta'ala bless you and your family and all of us with good in this world and the hereafter - ameen. May Allah ta'ala give you a long, healthy good life so that we can benefit from the knowledge you are parting with - ameen. Wasalaam

Excellent !!

Cezakallahu hayr şeyh

Jazakillah you don't discuss about the differences of Mazahibs.love your seerah style so much.

Mashallah

- Abu Bakr started for Abyssinia but returned with protection of his business friend Ibn Daggina on Condition he can't pray public. But Abu Bakr tricks by extending his house and oraying there, so Mushriks find it problematic and complain so Ibn Daggina forbids Abu Bakr and Abu Bakr in response withdraws his protection and become without protection. -Uthman ibn Ma'zoon, after returning from first migration to Abyssina, took protection of Walid ibn Mugira, later felt discomfort that he's muslim brothers are oppressed and he is safe, so he withdrew protection, on his way back announcing his withdrawal he goes to gathering of poet Labid and gets punched. -Abu Salama after returning from first migration to Abyssina, took protection of Abu Taleb, his uncle from mother's side, as he knows his uncle Abu Jahal won't give protection.But, Abu Jahal gets offended at this and argues with Abu Taleb, but Abu Lahab tells him to leave the matter feeling compassion for his brother Abu Taleb. - Delegates from Makkah come to and tells king Najjashi to hand over those who migrated the second time to Abyssina.So Najashi calls Jafar ibn Abu Taleb.

Small correction, Uthman did not participate in Badr since his wife was ill and she was the daughter of Rasullalah and Rasullalah told him to look after her. The Quraysh fielded 1000 soldiers at short notice at badr and 3000 at Uhud. After Fatih Makkah approx 2000 soldiers joined the army of the prophet. A fighting force is about 20% of the total population, so an estimation of he population of makkah would be 10-15,000.

Assalamoulikum to everyone from Pakistan

Mansha Allaah

Like Abu Bakr, we should all be willing to both open part of our homes as a pray center of the area and enhance that area. It is good that you have shown how the lobbying and bribery common in so-called sacred and secular societies is not acceptable in Islam. The Abyssinian Negusa is an example for us all in suspending judgement till both sides speak and to be on the side of the innocents despite worldly gains. Ja`far was an example to follow in that we should use tact in communication and be willing to openly respectfully disagree. The Bible itself never has Jesus claim to be divine and teaches he renounced all current and former worshipers. We should remind Christians that every Muslim considers Jesus to literally be a messiah and Emanuel (both are types of prophet). It does make sense to only do funerals in absence for those who had no fitting funeral due to persecution or concealment.

Resembles current life issues

37:03

I'm quite ignorant so forgive me for my lack of understanding ... I'm slightly confused, so the Abyssinian ruler is secretly a muslim? But are you allowed to lie about your faith eg pretend to be a christian? As he was to his people? Can someone perhaps expand on this for me pls. Jzk.

Wasn't it about the month of Shaban that Syeda Ayesha RA said that apart from Ramadan the Prophet SAW fasted the most in Shaban? Sheikh YQ said about Muharram. I am confused. Please correct me if I am wrong.

What was the sad incident of Karbara he mentioned at the end of the video?

As Salaamu Alaikum wa RahmatulLahi wa barakatuh,I am enjoying listening to these series but I am surprised that noone edited them for errors .many of these have the error that umm suleia and her husband emigrated but they did not .it was Umm Habiba daughter of Umar ibn al Khattab or at least write a small correction after each video where there is an error otherwise it is very inspiring .ALHAMDULILLAH .May ALLAH SWT reward all who have made these series possible Baaraka ALLAHU Feekum

Ali must have been 15 or 16 years old if we go by Julian/gregorian (maybe) date I read he was 10 year old when he converted to Islam in 610CE & i read this incident may have took place in 616CE Allah knows best but seems like you are wrong when you say Ali was 9 or 10 when this incident occurs he must have been older by this point since he wasn't too young to convert to islam I am just saying sheikh if you understand me

23:47

Around 17 mins 19 sec of the video the poet name will be labid not Al walid (Sheykh Yasir Qadhi unintentionally said it only once)

Tupende sana kusoma suratul rahaman anaziat ,Yasin kauthar, wakia

AsSalamuWalaikum

The current name of abyssinia is ethiopia

Hazrat Ali as must have been 15 at the time of second migration. Since hazrat ali was 30 years younger than prophet saw.

Salam, I have been wondering... Hasn't the prophet SAW migrated to abyssinia the first time? How can the sahaba migrate without the prophet SAW being with them? How would they know what to do? I am supposing that our prophet SAW has not migrated the first time with the sahaba because of the story of surat al-najm but could anyone please expand on why the prophet SAW stayed in Makkah? JAK

With due respect, Hazrat Ali must be around 15 at the time of this hijrat.

whitlilac101 That is when Husien(ra) was killed.

How can Ali bin abi Talib be 9 to 10 yrs old at the time of the Abyssinia migration?? I doesnt make sense

I enjoyed your teachings. I am a christian, and from the land of Habesha (Abyssinia) Nigus, Negus or Nigoos would be the right way to pronounce it. It means, King. From the New Testament(Bible) John 1 "In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, and the Word was God". I think this is what convinced the king of Habesha(Nigus, Nigoos) to save Islam, amongst all the other things that were said by the follower of the Prophet, eventhough the follower might not have had any idea that this WORD is found in John 1. The meaning of Islam is to submit to GOD. As a Christian I can say I submit to GOD. By the same token the Negus had submitted to GOD long before the followers of the Prophet Mohammed landed in the land of Habesha.( I think he knew his bible well.) The follower of the Prophet might not have said that Issa was the son of God, but in my opinion, he told the king that Issa is the Word, which is God himself. Do you see what I see, when you connect the dots? That is, the WORD in John 1 of the new testament and the Qur’an. In my opinion, Jesus(Issa) is only trying to help us build our relationship with God as a father and child, and not as a master and slave. Issa says that we are all children of Allah, and I believe that Issa is a sinless son of God, therefore the chosen or anointed one(mesih). Question to all Muslim Brothers: If Issa ( Eyesus, Yeshua, Jesus) is the WORD, and the WORD was GOD, then ISSA is......? To All followers of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: I'm starting a new religion called JUCHRISLAM. All followers mentioned above, are invited to pray with me. We all have the same God, and most of us need peace on this planet. We need to stop the wicked ones that are, and have been using religion to divide and abuse us. All kinds of believers, non- believers, anything that is on earth, and has breath in it, is invited to either pray with me or listen to me pray. Compassion, I will show to all creatures of Allah (God,Egziabiher). In the name of GOD(ALLAH,Egziabiher) the almighty. Amen.

Just tell the stories don’t keep applying it to your life You are good at that don’t misguide people

Uthman ra wasn’t at badr

Enough with the iced water bro! :)

Thank you for enlightening me. May Allah reward you in this life and hereafter.
