Abyssinia

In pre-Islamic Abyssinia, the Abyssinian merchants traded with their Arabic counterparts. After Muhammad declared to be the last Prophet of God, the Pagan Arabs persecuted the Muslims. Many Muslim families migrated to Abyssinia. And the local Abyssinians converted to Islam, before Muhammad declared that the new faith was completed.
