Abstract:

The Arab Kingdom of Kindah has reached the apogee of its glory and its authority on the stage of history before Islam, in order for the most prominent historical events to shed light on it, and if we follow the Arab narratives regarding this kingdom, they are few and different, in addition to interpretation and historical conversations about them. Therefore, we have considered in the current research a presentation of the Kindah state and its external relations with other tribes, before Islam. Since the Kingdom of Kindah has many historical roots, so we tried to penetrate deep into its ancient origins, and in this research, we have intended in this paper to talk about the history of an Arab country that has more than two and a half centuries. This is what prompted us to return to the ancient origins of this great and luminous kingdom in human history, as well as to identify its lands that covered all parts of the Arabian Peninsula. Also, about its commercial relations with other countries and the attributed writings with which it is famous, as well as the thousands of inscriptions and decorations left behind in the Arabian Peninsula.
