Yemen had a Arabic-Jewish King, named Dhu Nuwas, who was not known for being friendly towards Byzantines and other Christians. The Ethiopians fought him when they invaded Yemen in 525. |

We know from the Muslims sources that the Ka'bah had an icon of the Theotokos and one of Abraham sacrificing Isaac. |

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

Not to be flippantly dismissive, but something of such a personal nature as this is best addressed by your priest, not by anonymous yahoos on an Internet discussion forum.

Old news, but exciting to hear about the archaeological finds! There's so, so much archaeological work waiting to be done in Ethiopia and Yemen. |

Do Byzantine Orthodox commemorate the Martyrs of Najran? They're on the Ethiopian Orthodox calendar if I'm not mistaken, but I haven't come across them on the Russian or Greek calendars... Yemen had a Arabic-Jewish King, named Dhu Nuwas, who was not known for being friendly towards Byzantines and other Christians. The Ethiopians fought him when they invaded Yemen in 525. |

According to the Syriac Orthodox Church, the majority of the Christians of Najran were Syriac Orthodox, so I would think that they're also on the SOC calendar, too. Never heard of any mention of them among the Greeks or Russians, though. |

According to Muslim sources (Tabari), the Trinity worshiped by the Christians of Najran consisted of the Father (Allah), Mother (Mary), and Son (Jesus). Those Christians allegedly had a theological debate with Muhammad and contended that Jesus was the Son of Allah because He was the only human to be born without a father and speak in the cradle (Arabic Gospel of Infancy?). http://answering-islam.org/authors/masihiyyen/jesus_miracles_quran2a.html |
