Quiz 114 – Where did the 1st group of Muslims migrate to before Madinah?

Correct Answer is :

A) Abyssinia

Description:

Before the migration to Madinah, a group of early Muslims migrated to Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia) to escape persecution in Makkah.

This migration, known as the First Hijrah, took place in 615 CE. They sought refuge under the protection of the just Christian king, Negus (Najashi), who granted them safety.

This event is a significant example of interfaith respect and the trials faced by early Muslims. The migration is briefly mentioned in the context of Surah Maryam, reflecting the connection between Islam and Christianity.
