the noble messenger sent to the kings of Yemen inviting them to Islam.

Thul-Kalaa responded to his call and entered Islam.

he had heroics in the conquests of Syria against the crusaders, where he valiantly defended Islam and achieved victory, and he had positions recorded by history until he took the Levant, after its conquest, was a residence for him and his followers, although he relinquished the prestige and authority that he enjoyed in Yemen as the master of his people and as a leader of the leaders of Yemen, to the extent that his people used to prostrate to him when the sources mentioned that he was claiming lordship.

in the pre-Islamic era, he entered Islam, abandoning all that prestige and authority, freeing all his servants and servants for the sake of god almighty.

he became a simple human being like the common Muslims, until he became close to Muawiyah when he took over the caliphate, so Muawiyah brought him close to him, cut him off the estates and lavished him with money, and despite his positions, he was not successful at the end of his life because the truth was overshadowed by the truth, or he was deceived by the world and its adornment, so he deviated from the truth until he was killed in the battle of Siffin while fighting against the legitimate caliph, imam Ali Bin Abi Talib.
