Abraha the Abyssinian

Author's name: Walid Fikri

They deceived you by saying that a powerful king decided to assemble a huge army and lead it himself on a long and arduous journey, thereby threatening global trade routes and movements, just to demolish the Holy Kaaba, under the pretext that he was "jealous" of people's pilgrimage to it and their gathering around it.
In reality, Abraha the Abyssinian was merely a link in the chain of conflicts for control between different powers, and his campaign against Mecca was merely the "peak" point in that exciting story whose roots extend back centuries before Abraha.
Each chapter in this book can be read as a self-contained story, but you will find that those stories and their scenes quickly come together in your mind, and stick together harmoniously, to draw together the big picture of that exciting historical situation that was summarized in the story of Abraha the Abyssinian.
