Najashi and His Contemporaries Were Not Fighting Over Islam

The battle was taking place the book say uh on the banks of the river nyle. Zobaid ibn al-awam camped on one side as far away as he could and he waited to see who would win the battle. He came back in a few days with a great smile on his face and he said abshiru rejoiced that indeed  najashi has won the battle and so he will remain in power. The muslims know this najashi will support them but one important point here najashi and his contemporary were not fighting over islam This was not a jihadi being fought this was pure politics pure politics, says Ali.
