## Resource

In a special deep dive into history, we speak with Dr Mohamed Kheir Omer about Abyssinia; the land that once encompassed present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea. We shed light on the Aksumite Empire, the first Muslim migration, and the just king Al-Najashi (the Negus) who granted refuge to the companions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
