Her father, Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, was a leading chief of the Quraysh and initially a staunch opponent of Islam. Umm Habibah (R.A) accepted Islam early and migrated to Abyssinia with her first husband, who later apostatized. The Prophet (PBUH) sent a proposal to her while she was still in Abyssinia, and the Negus himself arranged the marriage. Abu Sufyan later accepted Islam around the time of the Conquest of Makkah.
Umm Habibah (R.A) was the daughter of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb and Safiyyah bint Abi al-As. She was among the early converts who migrated to Abyssinia during the second migration.
