Migration to Habashah
Muhammad (saws) witnessed the persecution imposed on his followers. It was so sever. Therefore, he asked them to leave Mecca and migrate to Habashah. He told them not to come back till the situation in Mecca improved.

Habashah was a kingdom in southeast Africa. In it, lived a just king whose name was Al Najashi. Al Najashi was a king and a Christian scholar.
Muslims set off on a long journey across the burning hot desert of Arabia towards Habashah. They had little food and traveled in small batches in order not to attract the attention of Quraish. They walked across the desert barefooted, thirsty, hungry and afraid. But, they had a hope of finding justice in Habashah.
