HISTORY
Kingdom Of Saba, was exits from 8 TH
to 7 TH Century. And Kingdom Of Saba invaded their neighbourd, Kingdom Of
Minea. Yemen, split into several kingdom, such as Saba, Minea, Qathaban, and Hadhramaut.
At 115 BC, Yemen fall into new ruler
from Tribes Of Himyar. One of archaeological proof from Tribes Of Himyar is Castle
Of Ghumdan. At this era, Propeth Isa s
teaching was entered to Yemen by an missionaris named Theopilus.
At 523 AD, Kingdom Of Himyar lead by
Jews King named Dzu Nuwas, who tortured Propeth Isa s followers at Yemen. Many
Propeth Isa s followers killed by Dzu Nuwas. At Islamic Tradition, this story recorded
at Holy Quran Surah 85: Verses 4-8. One
of Propeth Isa s follower , Dzu Tsalaban, ask helped to Emperor Of Byzantine,
Justin I. Justin command his allies, King Negus from Abbisinya ( Ethiophia) to
invaded Yemen and liberated it from Jews s reign. Dzu Nuwas die at battle beetwen
Himyar and Abbisinyan Army. Abbisnyan Army lead by Aryath, who replaced by one from
his soldier, Abrahah, after Abrahah kill him. Abbysinian Army won the battle at
523 and 525. Leader from battle at 525 is Abrahah. Abrahah became leader for
Abbysinian s colony at Yemen.
Abrahah, built a church at Yemen and
he want Arabians who visit Mecca for pilgrimage leave Mecca an visit his church.
But Arabian still visit Mecca, and one man from Tribes Of Kinana throw dirt to this place. Abrahah so angry and
he go to Mecca with elephants army. He
want destroy Kabah.
At 571 AD, Abrahah went to Mecca with
his army. His army bring many elephant war, but they defeated because destroyed
by Sijjil. According Imam Ibn
Kathir, Abrahah faced resistance for
several tribes of Arabs under Nufail Ibn Habib. But, Abrahah defeat him and
captured Nufail Ibn Habib. Nufail became navigator for Abrahah, but he die at
Maghmas, near of Mecca. Exist two interpretation about Sijjil. Philip.K.Hitti
, interpreted Sijjil as small viruses. And, Ibn Kathir, according Surah
Fil at Koran, verse 1-5, interpreted Abrahah s army destroyed because many bird
( at Surah Fil called Thayran Ababil) attack him with killer stones.
According my analysis, stones that throw by Bird Of Ababil, maybe contained death
viruses.
