The Kaaba of Najran, which was built by Abdel-Midan al-Harthy, local historians are suggesting that its more likely to be a church which is mentioned by Al-A'sha: The Kaaba of Najran is bound to you until you approach by its doors and visit “Yazid” and Christ believer and consider them as the best of its owners. The Kaaba of Najran was built east of the city on a mountain called Teslal. Among the modern historians who spoke to the Kaaba of Najran, Dr. Muhammad Al-Zulfah, says: "When the Arabs started the name of Kaaba of Najran on this church because of its shape, which resembles the shape of the cube. It is natural that this region witnessed in the mid- Historians argued that the Arab pilgrims where visiting it for more than 40 years until the dawn of Islam. The history books said that the church was made of leather and there is nothing left of it now, except that the historian Abdullah Philippi in 1939 wrote in his book that there is a place or space that takes the form of tawaf “Circular walk anti-clock wise around the cubical building”.
And Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Ansari, who stated that:
"The area of Najran witnessed the construction of a
church they used to call the Kaaba of Najran, and was used as a church to pray and worship god by
the Christians of Najran in the era of the Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him, denying that
the Holy Prophet had been happy to demolish it''
We were accompanied by Professor Ibrahim Ali Abu Saq in his capacity as an expert on this site. We have identified important sites such as the modern cemetery south of the mountain in the plain opposite the Great Ghar “Small Cave”, and the site of the five graves (non-Islamic) in the same southern side Which is different from what exists today except for the tomb (north-south).
Abu Saq also guided us to a site by oaks (natural ponds).
During this short tour, we summarize our observations, observations and perceptions in the following:
1- The most noticeable site to us is the central area on top of the mountain, which is superbly protected and has a view that provides the visitor the knowledge of all directions.
2– The central region - as we called it -Natural aquifers are abundant and we have observed the discharge of water through channels, some of which are superficial, some of which are submerged in the rock and appear to have shear effects. To store water in these rock pits to enjoy the central area up the mountain with water if possible or could be a baptism site!
3- Most of the rocks are primed in an irregular manner, either on the sides of the drainage channels or for other purposes that may be guarded and controlled.
4- There is no indication of human settlement for long periods or urban chain on the place, we did not see the effects of the foundations of stone buildings or inscriptions or drawings.
5- Based on we have experienced, we guess, we think, we believe that the Kaaba of Najran “The great church” is located at the flat are on the top of the mount which was built by “Banu Al- Dayan”.
And because of the appropriate site for a temple to be built, there is a small mosque at the exact same location here and now.
