Habesha International Ijtema will be more larger than South Africa.
Alhamdulilla the amazing Karguzari of Habesha Ijtema, where during the birth of Islam, Prophet (PBUH) suggestion to Muslim to leave Mecca and seek protection in Abyssinia. The first journey in the history of Islam was the migration of Muslims to Abyssinia @ Habesha (present-day Ethiopia).
The Kingdom of Aksum was declared as a favoured land by prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It’s the Great Land of Sayyiduna Bilal al-Habashi Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu.
Due to Visa Restrictions in South Africa, Globally More People are Heading Towards Habesha:
These days we globally travel through airlines. Just think how difficult was that time when Muslim migrants were reached Abyssinia. How did the Muslim migrants from Mecca traveled to Aksum?
The first group of Muslim emigrants that arrived in Aksum, comprised of twelve men and four women, was granted asylum in the year 7 (BHj.) (613 CE) under Ashama ibn-Abjar, the ruler of the Kingdom of Aksum. This group included Uthman ibn Affan, who later became the third caliph. This group reached Aksum, traveling via a ship from the sea port of Shuaiba, landing most probably at Adulis and then on to Aksum.
Muslims migrated twice to Habshah (Abyssinia) first in 613 CE and second in 616 CE to flee from the persecutions of Qureysh. First Migration comprised of eleven men and four women, the Second Migration comprised of eighty three men and fourteen women.
The Migration to Abyssinia (الهجرة إلى الحبشة) was an important event in the early history of Islam, where prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) first followers (the Sahabah) fled from the persecution of the ruling Quraysh tribe of Mecca and sought refuge in the Christian Kingdom of Aksum, present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea (formerly referred to as Abyssinia.
This Historic Event again and again reminds us our beautiful history which was the time of early stages of Islam & the history of our greatest sahaba’s & their greatest sacrifices. We got Islam through their sacrifices.
Today is our time for our sacrifices and to pay our respects according to the way of Sahaba. This largest gathering is an opportunity to learn about the Sahabah. May Allah SWT accept our sacrifices & united the Muslim Ummah.
