القيم الحضارية والإنسانية في حوار جعفر بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه مع ملك الحبشة: قراءة تاريخية حضارية

Abstract EN

This research deals with cultural and human values in the Sira - Story of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), which are emphasized by the speech of the sahaabi (companion of the Prophet Muhammad) Jafar-bin-Abi Talib, also known as Ja’far al-Tayyar (may Allah be pleased with him), when he was in a dialogue with the King Negus of Abyssinia Osahmh bin Abjar.

Jafar (may Allah be pleased with him), persuaded intelligently King Negus to convert to Islam indicating that “We were an uncivilized people.

God sent us a prophet who commanded us to speak the truth, be faithful to our engagements, mindful of the ties of kinship and kindly hospitality, and to refrain from crimes and bloodshed.

He forbade us to commit abominations and to speak lies, and to devour the property of orphans, to vilify chaste women.

He commanded us to worship God alone and not to associate anything with Him, and he gave us orders about prayer, alms and fasting [enumerating the commands of Islam].

So we believed in him and what he brought to us from Allah; and we follow what he asked us to do and we avoid what he forbade us to do”.

This research aims to highlight the benefits and lessons learned from the speech of Jafar-bin-Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) which contains set of values, that can be applied to human societies in order to maintain the stability and security.
