The immigration to Abyssinia : a new interpretation

Abstract EN

In this paper, I will give an extended study dealing with a significant event which took place in early Islam.

This event, called “The Immigration to Abyssinia”, took place in 615.

I will attempt to pinpoint some questions and problems concerning this event which need to be answered, taking into consideration various scholars’ opinions, their interpretations of these questions, and on which basis they built their theories.

I will attempt to introduce a new interpretation of some of these problems, and hence, to refute some previous theories.
