Owner Comments:
The Najahid dynasty (Arabic: بنو نجاح; Banū Najāḥ) was a Sunni Muslim dynasty of Abyssinian (Ethiopian) Mamluks that ruled parts of Yemen from 1022-1158 from its capital at Zabīd, taking over from the Ziyadids. Najah would obtain the recognition of the Abbasid Caliph al-Qadir. They faced hostilities from the Shia Ismailis Sulayhids who were loyal to the Fatimids
