Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the difference between the concealment of Heraklius of the Romans toward his people, and the concealment of the Negus toward his people? The Negus remained concealed, displaying Christianity to his people, while in reality he was a Muslim?

Answer:
This is not concealment. What happened with Heraklius was not concealment; it was a strategy out of fear for his kingdom, fear for his kingdom. He did not become a Muslim. The Negus became a Muslim and testified that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, but he was in a land where he was unable to, unable to implement everything he wanted. So he testified that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. The Negus refused to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Yes.
