The Second Migration to Abyssinia 

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Together with these two (Hazrat Uthmaan and Hazrat Ruqayyah) there were a few other Muslim men and women. When they reached Abyssinia, they received news that the people of Makkah had become Muslims and Islam was victorious. They were very joyful over this news and returned to their homeland. However, when they came close to Makkah Mukarramah, they came to know that the news was false and that the Muslims were being persecuted more than before. They were very upset at this and some of them returned to Abyssinia.

After the first hijrat, a big group consisting of 83 men and 18 women made hijrat separately. The first migration to Abyssinia was known as the First Hijrah and the second migration to Abyssinia was known as the Second Hijrah. Some Sahaabah had made both Hijrats and some had made only one.

Hazrat Uthmaan (Radhiyallahu anhu) and Hazrat Ruqayyah (Radhiyallahu anha) had made both hijrats to Abyssinia.
