 * Yes, it needs improvement.

Merge?
Perhaps this should be merged with Second migration to Abyssinia. While there probably were two emigration events (though this is disputed), they were closely related, and half the material in the other article is repeated in this one. There is no logical way to read the two articles in sequence; the reader ends up confused. I would suggest headings something like the following: But also include in chronological order all the other events that occurred at each stage.Grace has Victory (talk) 10:23, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Separate history from legend please
This article needs a clearer separation of fact from fiction and legend. For example is there any serious proof that the Ethiopian king accepted Islam? Later Ethiopian kings were still Christians. Also is there any kind of even half reliable proof that people from the Migration preached in Canton, China? -- 92.224.247.182 (talk) 17:55, 20 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed. In its current form, it is simply an uncritical regurgitation of the traditional Islamic POV.Grace has Victory (talk) 10:23, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Nice legend that Negus accepted Islam, but Ethiopian kings (at that time, and ever after) were always Orthodox Christian.

From what Ethiopian and Islam sources agree is that King of Ethiopia did grant them refugee on recognoizing Islam and Christianity share some of same beliefs (one god, virgin mary, Jesus as prophet) and that should be acknowledged as first multicultural acceptance of both faiths as equal :-) and so it was in Ethiopia were Islam is second most widespread religion, treated equaly.

When questioned on this point by the king, Jaafer said: “Our judgment of Jesus is the same as that of Allah and His Messenger, viz., Jesus is God's servant, His Prophet, His Spirit, and His command given unto Mary, the innocent virgin.”

When Jaaffer concluded his speech, the king asked him to read some verses which were revealed to the Prophet of the Muslims. Jaafer read a few verses from Surah Maryam (Mary), the 19th chapter of Al-Qur’an al-Majid. When the king heard these verses, he said that their fountainhead was the same as that of the verses of the Evangel. He then declared that he was convinced of his veracity, and added, to the great chagrin of Amr bin Aas, that the Muslims were free to live in his kingdom for as long as they wished.

The king said: “Jesus is just what you have stated him to be, and is nothing more than that.” Then addressing the Muslims, he said: “Go to your homes and live in peace. I shall never give you up to your enemies.” He refused to extradite the Muslims, returned the presents which Amr bin Aas had brought, and dismissed his embassy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rasvoja (talk • contribs) 21:41, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Number of first followers
According to citation No. 1 we have two migrations of muslims to Abyssinia, first one with 11 men and 4 women, second one with 83 men and 18 women. The first migration should be integrated in the article!
