In Islam in Abyssinia, Youssef Ahmed takes us back to the folded pages of Islamic history, where Abyssinia played a pivotal role in the early days of the call to Islam, when the just King "Al-Najashi" embraced the first Muslim immigrants fleeing the brutality of the Quraysh. This book does not merely recount that pivotal moment, but delves deeper to reveal the ancient roots of relations between Arabs and Abyssinians, and how Islam entered a land resistant to invaders smoothly through trade and peaceful preaching. The author traces the stages of the rise of Islamic kingdoms in the fourteenth century, painting a vivid picture of the rise and decline of Muslims in Ethiopia, until they became a minority in the modern state. This book illuminates a forgotten corner of history and gives readers an opportunity to understand the expansion of Islam beyond the Arabian Peninsula within a context of coexistence, justice, and fairness.
