Saifu
Saifu (c. 577) was a king of Axum. He is known from a chance mention in a Chinese biography of Muhammad, the ''T'ien-fang Chih-sheng shih-lu'', written between 1721 and 1724 by Liu Chih. This work uses older materials that have been traced to a biography of the Prophet written by Sa'id al-Din Mohammed bin Mas'ud bin Mohammad al-Kazarumi, who died in 1357. According to this Chinese biography, the ''najashi'' of Ethiopia was said to have sent an ambassador with gifts to Mohammed's family upon sighting a star that announced his birth. When Mohammed became seven years old, Saifu, described as the ''najashi's'' grandson, likewise sent gifts. This source also adds that Saifu was the grandfather of the ''najashi'' who gave shelter to the Muslim immigrants around 615-6 at Axum.

Israel Of Axum
Israel (vocalized gez, እስራኤል ''ʾIsrāʾēl'' or ይስራኤል ''Yisrāʾēl'', c. 590) was a king of Axum. He is primarily known through the coins minted during his reign. The ''Kebra Nagast'' and Ethiopian historical tradition states that Kaleb had two sons, Israel and Gabra Masqal. One tradition claims that Israel was governor of Adwa during his father's reign, but otherwise the Ethiopian chronicles tell little else about him. The official king list of the Ethiopian royal family, published in 1927, states that Israel ruled only for one month between Kaleb and Gabra Masqal. Skeptical that this Israel was actually the son of King Kaleb, Munro-Hay suggests that Israel may have been better than the other kings between him and Kaleb (or Gabra Masqal), and tradition compressed the succession. Richard Pankhurst mentions the name of this king as an early example of Judaic Judaism ( he, ''Yahăḏūṯ'') is an Abrahamic, monotheistic, and ethnic religion compri ...

Sahama
Armah ( gez, አርማህ) or Aṣḥamah ( ar, أَصْحَمَة), commonly known as Najashi ( ar, النَّجَاشِيّ, translit=An-najāshī), was the ruler of the Kingdom of Aksum who reigned from 614–631 CE. He is primarily known through the coins that were minted during his reign. It is agreed by Islamic scholars that Najashi gave shelter to the Muslim emigrants around 615–616 at Axum. Kingship Najashi reigned for 18 years from 614–631 CE. During his reign, Muslims migrated to Abyssinia and met Najashi. According to Islamic sources, Jafar ibn Abi Talib told Najashi about the persecution they had faced at the hands of the Quraysh. Najashi asked if they had with them anything which had come from God. Ja‘far then recited a passage from Surah Maryam. When the Najashi heard it, he wept and exclaimed: Najashi then affirmed that he would never give up the Muslims.

Kingdom Of Axum
The Kingdom of Aksum ( gez, መንግሥተ አክሱም, ), also known as the Kingdom of Axum or the Aksumite Empire, was a kingdom centered in Northeast Africa and South Arabia from Classical antiquity to the Middle Ages. Based primarily in what is now northern Ethiopia, and spanning modern-day Eritrea, northern Djibouti, and eastern Sudan, it extended at its height into much of modern-day southern Arabia during the reign of King Kaleb. Axum served as the kingdom's capital for many centuries but relocated to Jarma in the 9th century due to declining trade connections and recurring external invasions. Emerging from the earlier Dʿmt civilization, the kingdom was likely founded in the early 1st century. Pre-Aksumite culture developed in part due to a South Arabian influence, evident in the use of the Ancient South Arabian script and the practice of Ancient Semitic religion. However, the Geʽez script came into use by the 4th century, and as the kingdom became a major power on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
