King Najashi (also known as Negus Ashama ibn Abjar) was the Christian king of the ancient Kingdom of Aksum (present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea) during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He is remembered in both Islamic and Christian traditions for his justice, kindness, and piety.

Key Points About King Najashi:

Title: "Najashi" (or "Negus") was a royal title used for kings of Aksum, similar to "Pharaoh" in Egypt or "Caesar" in Rome. His actual name, according to many Islamic historians, was Ashama ibn Abjar.

Refuge for Muslims:
When the early Muslims were persecuted in Mecca, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised them to migrate to Abyssinia (Ethiopia), saying:
“There is a king there who does not wrong anyone under his rule.”
Najashi welcomed them, gave them protection, and refused to hand them over to the Quraysh emissaries who came demanding their return.

The Debate:
When the Quraysh envoys accused the Muslims of insulting Jesus (peace be upon him), Najashi summoned the Muslims to explain. Ja’far ibn Abi Talib (RA) recited verses from Surah Maryam about Jesus and Mary (peace be upon them). Najashi wept upon hearing the Qur’an and declared that the message of Muhammad ﷺ and the message of Jesus (pbuh) came from the same source.

Justice and Faith:
Najashi is remembered as a just ruler who stood firmly for truth. Islamic sources mention that he secretly embraced Islam, though he kept his faith private due to political reasons.

Prophet’s Prayer for Him:
When King Najashi passed away, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prayed the Salat al-Janazah (funeral prayer in absentia) for him in Madinah — an honor given to very few outside Arabia.

Legacy:

King Najashi is honored in Islam as a righteous and just leader who protected the early Muslims and recognized the truth of Islam. In Ethiopian Christian history, he is also respected as a wise and compassionate king.
