The Byzantine historian Procopius identifies him as a former slave of a Roman merchant, while Islamic historian al-Tabari claims he was related to the Aksumite royal family. Abraha emerged as a key figure during the Aksumite invasion of Yemen around 525 CE. Initially a general under King Kaleb of Aksum, he participated in campaigns against the Himyarite Jewish king, Dhu Nuwas. Abraha’s rise to power began after the Aksumite victory over Dhu Nuwas. Following the latter’s death, Abraha established himself as the ruler of Yemen, ousting the Christian Himyarite viceroy Sumyafa Ashwa. His consolidation of power was marked by a duel with ‘Ar-Riyat, a rival sent by Kaleb, during which Abraha earned the nickname “al-Ashram” (Scarface) due to a severe facial injury.
